Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Performance Benchmark Review - 30+ GPUs Tested

Image Quality Comparison »

Graphics Settings

  • On the "Video" settings screen you get to choose the usual monitor-related settings
  • Avatar supports running windowed, borderless and fullscreen
  • The "Temporal Upscaler" menu has three options: "Temporal Anti-Aliasing," "AMD FSR" and "NVIDIA DLSS"
  • As mentioned before, there's support for FSR 2 and DLSS 2 upscaling, and FSR 3 Frame Generation (but no support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation or Reflex). I did check the game's files, there really is no support for Frame Generation, the required DLSSG DLL does not exist in the game folder.
  • Once you enable "Temporal Upscaler: FSR3," the Frame Generation menu becomes enabled, letting you activate AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation
  • "Scaling Quality" is the DLSS/FSR upscaler quality mode. You may choose from "Ultra Performance," "Performance," "Balanced," "Quality" and "Ultra Quality"
  • "Scaling Mode" lets you pick from "Off," "Fixed" and "Biased," which adjusts the resolution depending on your FPS rate
  • V-Sync can be disabled, there is no hidden FPS cap
  • You may set an FPS cap between 30 and 300 FPS. When FSR 3 Frame Generation is enabled, the actual FPS will be double that value
  • There's three quality presets "High," "Medium" and "Low"
  • In our build changing the preset didn't change the Post-Processing Quality, which defaulted to "Low." Make sure to change that
  • Besides that there's many options to improve performance and fine-tune everything

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We tested the public uPlay release of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, including the launch-update version 1.01. We used the game ready drivers from all the GPU vendors.
