Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Performance Benchmark Review 64

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Performance Benchmark Review

Image Quality Comparison »

Graphics Settings

  • The "Accessibility" menu near the top has a setting to set Motion Blur to zero (down from the default maximum of 10)
  • Hellblade II supports running windowed and borderless, there is no exclusive fullscreen setting. You can achieve this through manual config edits though (set FullscreenMode=0).
  • You may disable V-Sync, there is no hidden FPS cap and the game isn't CPU limited at all
  • Upscale Method supports "DLSS," "FSR," "XeSS" and "TSR," which is Unreal Engine's own temporal upscaler
  • With TSR you can set the scaling level as a percentage (or 100% for native)
  • There is no option for "no upscaling," but TSR + 100% scaling is the closest thing
  • FSR has support for "Native AA," which is AMD's equivalent to NVIDIA DLAA
  • DLAA is supported, too
  • When you enable DLSS Frame Generation, you MUST select a DLSS scaling mode, but "DLAA" is an option
  • There's three quality presets "Low," "Medium" and "High." Selecting "High" sets quality to maximum, you don't have to manually adjust any other setting.
  • Besides that there are several additional options for performance fine-tuning, as our comparison screenshots show, there's very little visual difference, but a pretty serious performance delta between them.
