  1. Nice to see a fair comparison of console to PC. Not playing semantics by comping up with "optimized" settings which are lower than the current consoles and then trying to show off how well a card like the 2060 does. But considering the bias these people have I'm never surprised anymore.

  2. Who only uses 8GB of ram in 2021? Ram is cheap. 16GB minimum for gaming should be a no brainer. Personally I use 32GB of ram and see games often go over 16GB worth on my system. Which is a Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 2080 Super. Upgrade your ram…

  3. I’m playing on a base PS4. The game is fun as hell. I like it much more than the last two games in the series. It looks great during gameplay, but the cutscenes are very rough on the base ps4. Frame drops during the cutscenes are normal.

  4. Just what I was looking for, a comparison with last gen as I'm stil on ps4 slim, digital foundry seems to have dumped the last gen form their comparison videos

  5. At least the Console versions run well.
    The pc version has a big problem. Like Far Cry 3, 4, 5, New Dawn the Dunia Engine use only one cpu core up to 95 and 100% all the time and the other core use stay very low. This hits performance and causes that the game is even at 1440p and 4K cpu and not gpu bound. It´s an issue with the Dunia engine. My 5950X has this issue. It dont stop me from playing it.^^
    I guess the optimization on the consoles help that there is not such an issue or maybe it isnt that obvious for the lack of tools to check cpu use and the lower max. target fps. If such tools exist on console than my second guess is wrong.

  6. It's pretty broken on ps4. The trigger for the sniper guns doesn't work, as one example of a game breaker. You can rebind it but only if you know you can rebind it. Now you do. Pfft. And it sputters and lags and starts going in slow motion just like Cyberpunk does in ps4. Why do they even put ps5 games on ps4 if they aren't going to make them compatible with the system?

  7. Edit: Nvm its in the video haha.

    Is the game playable on xbox one? No x,s, or the series. Just the standard xbox one. I cant find the performance on it anywhere. I only have xbox one so i dont want to buy the game before i see if its playable. Graphic and fps wise.

  8. 9:00 The gun is literally clipping inside the hand! What a lazy work by Ubisoft! Seriously nobody of you "modern gaymers" care about that now? Talk about having low standards…. 😅

  9. Don't you love how NX Gamer actually shows the EXACT PC setup he's running with the real metrics while the game is playing in the same sections as consoles? He's literally the ONLY tech analysis to do this.

    Every other analysit simply use a far more powerful PC like a 3080 or 3090 and use abstract settings…or (like digital Foundry) simply put WIDOWS 10 (WTF kind of PC is that???) and don't mention what kind of PC they're comparing consoles to or CLAIM that a 2060 super matches or beats consoles but NEVER show the PC graph running side by side with the SAME resolution (DF always try to change 2060 super resolution to a far LOWER setting make their PC *claimed to be equivalent to PS5* seem achieve = or higher performance…SEE DEATHLOOP! ) as consoles on the same sections!

    NX Gamer is the only 100% forthright analysis on youtube without any apparent PC bias (using his OC 2070 and NOT hide when it's outperformed or has issues vs consoles) or agenda to HIDE systems drawback vs another when something isn't performing as well as his personal preference may prefer. Digital Foundry always lie to downplay or hide capability of consoles vs PC. You'll never see DF expose a PS5 performing @ or better than a 2060 because that was Alex Battagia's claim at the start of the generation so DF are going to die defending that OBVIOUSLY false narrative.

  10. Runs great on my PS4 pro…obviously not as good looking as the gameplay I’m seeing on YT latest gen. But I’m fn loving it!

  11. I am playing on PS5 and are very happy with it.
    The absence of pop in on PS5 I do realy appreciate.
    But I want to say that iam most impressed how good the PS4 Version still looks.

  12. Probably picking up for my series x rather than my PC with a 3060ti. Some games you need to play on your couch with a full fat surround hi fi.

  13. The PS5 (and X) performance is really (!) good, especially when compared to PC.

    8GB Vram is not enough on the PC to load up HD Textures.. Lower resolution and lower fps with quite beefy gpu‘s…

    = Really good Next gen Performance BUT why no M&K Support????

    Assassins Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenxy Rising (Both Ubisoft games) had M&K support although they are 3rd Person View games. Come on Ubisoft, patch it in, especially when the Next gen performance is so good. Many ppl want it
