The PC gaming community is abuzz as NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs demonstrate their prowess in the PC edition of “Ghost of Tsushima,” showcasing impressive frame rates at various resolutions both with and without the advanced DLSS 3 technology.
The acclaimed action-adventure title, which initially captivated players on Sony PlayStation consoles, is now leveraging the full potential of PC hardware, including support for NVIDIA’s DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3, and Intel XeSS technologies. NVIDIA’s RTX tech benefits the game further, enabling features like Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA) for added graphical detail.
In the performance benchmarks released for “Ghost of Tsushima,” the GeForce RTX 4090 notably exceeds 80 FPS at 4K native resolution. When the game leverages DLSS 3’s frame generation capability (with DLSS set to the performance preset), the RTX 4090 soars beyond 200 FPS. The RTX 4070 and higher models also deliver stellar performance, reaching over 100 FPS when frame generation is activated at 4K.
At QHD resolution (2560×1440), all RTX 40 series GPUs deliver exceptionally high frame rates, with DLSS 3 turned on for the quality preset. Specifically, the RTX 4090 shines with nearly 250 FPS and about 140 FPS natively, indicating a level of performance that recreates a fluid and visually stunning gaming experience.
For Full HD (1920×1080) gaming, activating DLSS 3’s frame generation, even at the quality preset, offers more than a satisfactory experience, with the RTX 4070 SUPER and higher models achieving north of 200 FPS, with the RTX 4090 nearing the 300 FPS mark, underscoring the significant performance upgrade these GPUs provide.
Moreover, laptop gamers haven’t been left out of the mix. Those equipped with the entry-level RTX 4050 can enjoy “Ghost of Tsushima” at over 80 FPS when using DLSS 3 technology, ensuring that even on-the-go gamers can experience the game with smooth performance.
Gamers looking to optimize their experience with a GeForce RTX 40 series GPU should update to the latest 552.44 WHQL driver package, which delivers day-0 support for “Ghost of Tsushima.”
For a quick reference on the gaming presets and appropriate hardware required for varying levels of game performance, from 720p at 30 FPS for casual gaming up to 4K at 60 FPS for the ultimate visual experience, the game offers detailed specifications. These specifications tailor the game’s performance to a broad range of systems, ensuring that a wide array of processors, graphics cards, memory, and storage options are compatible, with the emphasis on solid-state drives (SSDs) for optimal loading times and a smooth gaming experience across Windows 10 64-bit platforms.
With this comprehensive guide to the performance capabilities of NVIDIA’s RTX series GPUs, gamers can make informed decisions about the hardware they need to fully enjoy “Ghost of Tsushima” on PC, and revel in the lush environments and action-packed gameplay that the title is renowned for, all while benefiting from smooth frame rates and high-definition graphics.
