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

We tested the public release version of Star Wars Squadrons, not a press pre-release. We also installed the latest drivers from AMD and NVIDIA, which both have game-ready support for the game.

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GeForce RTX 3090, which has 24 GB of VRAM, we measured the game's memory usage at the highest setting.

Star Wars Squadron is very gentle in its video memory requirements. While that is good for cards with 3 GB, it is a lost opportunity for cards with more memory, which would allow higher texture resolutions.

GPU Performance

FPS Analysis

In this section, we're comparing each card's performance to the average FPS measured in our graphics card reviews, which is based on a mix of 22 games and should provide a realistic average covering a wide range of APIs, engines, and genres.
