Resident Evil 2 Performance thread

[shankly1985]

Once again AMD partners to release another PC optimise masterpiece. I put so far 10 hours in on max settings 1440p and its been amazing experience with my VEGA 64.

Digital Foundry great video, RX 580 vs 1060

Rapid packed Math, Shader, Intrinsics and FP16 all used.

Demo - Directx 12

Demo - Directx 11

Tin Foil Hat, they seems to be very little benchmark videos out there! I can not find a single VEGA 64 vs GTX 1080 LOL
Will post more video has they become available

Rapid packed maths is double rate FP16 support

I thought the same, but AMD list all 3 at 37 seconds? So I have no idea

Only 1770 Mhz on that 2070?

My card settles at 1950 without further overclocking. I wonder what card it was.

Yer, rubbish clocks on both the 2070 and 2080. Not sure what the guy is doing but easily 100Mhz more on both those without breaking a sweat or overclcking

That video is from the demo, so maybe the Nvidia driver wasn't used yet? Am surprised just how little benchmark videos they is out right now. Maybe they all just enjoying playing the game at the moment lol

Here is the 2060 running at 1900mhz from the demo again though.

EDIT
That video in OP was running DX12, DirectX 12 in this title is quite bad compared to DX11 so this might explain why its not running at expected speeds.

Something else I have noticed. The frame times on Nvidia for this title are so much better than any other game I seen to date. Its like AMDs a smooth line. Once again showcasing just how well this is optimised for the PC.

Perfect example
This is how I see all Nvidia frame times on games lately, compared to AMD is a smooth line.

Lets keep Anthem talk out of this thread, this is just an example.

Well, in theory you can have FP16 support in registers but without double rate FP16. Pascal has this, but it wont add much performance.

I don;t think AMd has a GPU with 16bit support without rapid packed math.

Am really not sure. It would be nice if we got a dev talk or something explaining what they did with GPUOpen.

 

[shankly1985]

Amd's latest driver does have updates for this demo so I'm glad to see them on the ball. This could change for Nvidia once the drivers and the game releases.

Game released Friday. See video above, nvidia frame times are worse than AMDs. Resi 2 is the first game in ages that I have seen frame times on nvidia matching amd.

Is this the fact this is a very well optimised pc title? I think so.

Not watched this yet.

The Mr X guy is spoiling the game/atmosphere for me in my Leon play through. Now all i hear is annoying foot steps and i can;t shoot any zombies or he turns up. Really bad idea imo.

I disagree mate
Mr X adds more tension to the game. It also makes it harder to get to the secrets later in the game.

 

[shankly1985]

I liked RE4 it was the step in the wrong direction that is for sure. But it was still grounded has a horror survival, after RE4 the series became a shoot-em up

RE7 come along and changed the series for the good imo

Am just happy Resident Evil seems to be heading in the right direction bringing that horror back.

Resident Evil 2 Test GPU/CPU benchmarks

OMG look at these FXAA vs TAA slider comparisions!

Cant believed I had TAA turned on all the time, I thought TAA is better than FXAA! I dont realised TAA looked horrible much worse with blurriness and lose crispy on textures.

Now I turned FXAA on, textures looked much better, clean, sharp and crispy.

If done correctly I have always found Fxaa to be the better AA.
My favourite AA is Smaa, TAA most of the time has unwanted motion blur effects.
