GPU Review Test System 2025.2 Games & Planning

Hardware

No changes in hardware planned, people seem happy with my choices

Just newest OS patches, new BIOS, new chipset drivers, and of course newest GPU drivers

Games

- See screenshot above for changes/new titles
- Couldn't find a game that should get kicked out for Civ7
- DOOM Eternal will be replaced by DOOM Dark Ages next round
- Like a Dragon Pirate kinda flopped, so giving KCD2 its spot, also CryEngine, which makes it an interesting addition
- Rise of the Ronin only 2.3k reviews, mixed
- No plans for mixing in runs with DLSS/FSR just yet

Last of Us 2 to replace 1?
And maybe let go of Elden Ring too. Pretty much everyone plays it on locked 60FPS and even midrange cards can do that easily now so modding to unlock FPS just to test kinda pointless I think. I know Nightreign is coming but network tests kinda showed that it's same as ER in terms of looks and consoles still runs it perfect (and its coop anyway). I dont think missing Souls Engine in the list is that important until they release something next gen, and demanding (or at least not locked to 60FPS). Maybe you can put CIV 7 to its place. Although that is also a game where nobody really cares about FPS so I dont know. Maybe GTA 5 Enhanced? :confused:

KCD2 is welcome.

Assimilator · 2025-03-21T16:09:33+0000

Dump Last of Us, Monster Hunter Wilds and Spiderman 2. They're all horribly optimised console port rubbish that aren't in any way representative of average performance of PC games, and are thus going to unfairly bias results. Yeah they're "AAA" titles and people will whine they're not present, but those people can be ignored.

F1 2025 i think is being revealed soon and set to release around may if you want to replace the 2024 ver

Maybe Witcher? CP77 is essentially Witcher on steroids and anyone who can afford 200 dollar GPUs can play Witcher 3 on stupid settings at high framerates anyway. That's why I'm also not sure one should include DOOM games because they run at 100+ FPS even on ancient hardware.

Chrispy_ · 2025-03-21T16:31:37+0000

Can I please request that CP2077 testing on the new set of results moves to the RT:Overdrive preset?

It's an old game at this point and there are so many other games that have hybrid raster/raytracing mixes that CP2077's inclusion for hybrid RT performance is becoming just another data point in a sea of similar data points.

On the other hand, its pure path-tracing mode is still quite rare among games and far more interesting to me, maybe to others as well?

Event Horizon · 2025-03-21T16:41:03+0000

Looks good to me. I'm fine with the list as long as there's at least one game representing the UE4, UE5, Source, Creation, and Unity engines. The id Tech and Divinity engines are appreciated as well.
