Silent Hill 2 Remake Performance Benchmark Review - 35 GPUs Tested

Image Quality Comparison »

Graphics Settings

  • You can choose between "fullscreen," "borderless" and "windowed"
  • Ray tracing can be enabled separately. While the game always uses Unreal Engine's shader-based "Lumen," you may enable the hardware-accelerated version of Lumen here. This does cost some performance, but improves image quality a bit.
  • The FPS cap can be set to unlimited, 30 FPS and 60 FPS
  • Dynamic Resolution, when enabled, lets you adjust the render resolution automatically in-game, to reach either 30 FPS or 60 FPS
  • V-Sync can be disabled completely, there is no hidden FPS cap
  • The upscalers available are "None," "TSR," "FSR 1.0," "FSR 3.0," "DLSS," and "XeSS"
  • Quality has the usual upscaler quality modes, but no "native" setting, so no DLAA
  • The presets available are "low," "medium," "high," and "epic." The last option "custom" is required to adjust the settings. i.e. you can't customize settings when selecting "High."
  • The Advanced Quality Settings screen lets you fine-tune the rendering
  • Anti-aliasing options are "none," "FXAA," and "TXAA"
  • You may adjust the rendering resolution beyond 100%, to 150% and 200%
  • Motion blur can be disabled completely
  • Sharpening can be disabled completely, too

  • We used the newest drivers from all the GPU vendors, which have all released drivers supporting the game
