Shadow of the Tomb Raider concludes the reboot trilogy, and it’s utterly gorgeous. Brad Chacos/IDG Shadow of the Tomb Raider Total War: Troy is built using a modified version of the Total War: Warhammer 2 engine, and this DX11 title looks stunning for a turn-based strategy game.

The latest game in the popular Total War saga, Troy was given away free for its first 24 hours on the Epic Games Store, moving over 7.5 million copies before it went on proper sale. We test using the Vulkan renderer, which is faster than DX12. It’s a technological showcase, built around the next-gen Vulkan and DirectX 12 technologies and infused with features like HDR support and the ability to toggle asynchronous compute on and off. Strange Brigade is a cooperative third-person shooter where a team of adventurers blasts through hordes of mythological enemies. We test in DirectX 12 mode with ray tracing, Hairworks, and DLSS disabled for our basic benchmarks. The latest version of the 4A Engine provides incredibly luscious, ultra-detailed visuals, with one of the most stunning real-time ray tracing implementations released yet. One of the best games of 2019, Metro Exodus is one of the best-looking games around, too. Only the 3080 and the RTX 2080 Ti lack that warning for Planar Reflections. Brad Chacos/IDGįun fact: The GeForce RTX 3080 FE is the only graphics card that doesn’t generate a “Your GPU can’t handle this” warning when enabling Glossy Reflections. We manually set all options to their highest possible settings and disable frame rate minimums and maximums. You can’t use the presets to benchmark Gears Tactics, as it intelligently scales to work best on your installed hardware, meaning that “Ultra” on one graphics card can load different settings than “Ultra” on a weaker card. More games should devote such loving care to explaining what flipping all these visual knobs mean.

Better yet, the game comes with a plethora of graphics options for PC snobs.

We love being able to work a tactics-style game into our benchmarking suite.

This Unreal Engine 4-powered game was built from the ground up for DirectX 12. Gears Tactics puts it own brutal, fast-paced spin on the XCOM-like genre. We’ve also enabled temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) to push these cards to their limits when it’s available.

(You’ll need to use the monitor’s on-screen display to activate adaptive sync first, however.) That makes the Nixeus EDG34S a fantastic partner for a monstrous GeForce RTX 3080 if you’re planning to upgrade your display, too.īut don’t take my word for it.

While the EDG34S lacks official G-Sync Compatible certification, you can activate G-Sync manually in Nvidia’s control panel to turn on adaptive sync support for GeForce GPUs. Officially, Nixeus has equipped this monitor only with AMD FreeSync Premium support formally.
