All!
So, had my Desktop for around 5 months now - and I'm not sure what my expectations should be in respect of performance, as I'm always left a little 'disappointed - (Nothing to do with the build I must add! - Great job by PCS)
Background - Long life console gamer, first time PC owner.
I bought the PC, assuming I'd be getting equal / better than PS5 / Xbox Series X performance.
I only have a 1080p 144hz monitor, and assume I'd be able to whack up the graphic settings to max and be on my merry way, not a dropped frame in sight.
However.....and I know Cyberpunk it's exactly the most optimised game out there, so i'll instead use Metro Enhanced.
This is a game I am running at 1080p, with DLSS on quality - Ray Tracing on - and despite the 3070, I get plenty of dropped frames from 60fps
I'd have assumed that an PS5 could run this at 1080p, let alone 4k without bother.
Will the consoles use a 'less ray tracing quality than what I am aim for - High? Do they run ray tracing reflections?
Am I running graphic settings beyond what the next gen consoles can achieve, or is my machine 'not powerful enough'
(also add, Assassins Creed - Using Digital Foundry PC requirements at 1080p, I still can't get a locked 60fps)
- Do I need a new CPU....3700 / 3800x ?
Regards
Philip
