Graphics Settings
| Resolution | 1920×1080 |
| Window Mode | Borderless Windowed |
| Framerate | Not Fixed |
| Anti-Aliasing | TXAA |
| Vertical Sync | Off |
| Texture Quality | Mid |
| Shadow Quality | High |
| Post Processing Quality | High |
The Resolution should be native to this game. ANti-Aliasing is TXAA to smoothen out any jagged edges. To uncap the frames, Framesrates are set to Not Fixed. If you ALT-TAB frequently put the game to fullscreen windowed to reduce CPU Load. If you have a powerful CPU then this should be fine with Fullscreen Only. Since this is a visually pleasing game and you would need some of that while playing, keep the shadows at high. This is optional and you can reduce this one as well. Post Processing is less significant on the GPU, so keep this at high. You should be good to go with these settings.
System Specs Used To Test
- CPU: I3 8100
- GPU: GTX1050TI
- OS: Windows 10 64 Bit
- RAM: 16GB
- STORAGE: 1TB HDD
Results and Conclusion
| GPU Usage | 100% @1160 MHz |
| VRAM Usage | 1520 MB @2650MHz |
| CPU Usage | 32% @4080MHz |
| Average Framerate | 43-47FPS |
| RAM Usage | ~ 5300 MB |
As you can see from the above results, the game ran its best at 45-47FPS at the above settings. For a card like 750TI, this is decent performance since I managed to churn out all the power from the card, which is evident from the GPU Usage of 100%. You can expect better performance if you upgrade the card or the CPU or both. Try to play at 720p if you have an older rig.
