We also did not notice any major stuttering issues on our Intel i9 9900K. However, the game should be running way, way, WAY better for the quality of visuals it displays on screen.Īll in all, ELEX II does not require a high-end CPU. Generally speaking, ELEX II does not look bad. Lip-syncing is also serviceable, and you can’t interact/bend the grass/vegetation. However, the skin shaders look really dated, and the lighting system is nowhere close to what other triple-A games offer. To its credit, Piranha Bytes has used a lot of high-quality textures, and its characters have a large number of polygons. Graphics-wise, ELEX II does not justify its huge GPU requirements. What the hell? There is something really weird going on here that Piranha Bytes will have to address via post-launch updates. Seriously, the GPU was used at 98% and we only got a 5fps improvement when we dropped our settings from Ultra to Low. Even when we ran the game on Low settings, our RTX3080 was unable to come close to 60fps in 4K. What’s also disappointing here is that the game’s graphics settings are bugged. As for 4K/Ultra, there wasn’t any GPU that could come close to a 60fps experience. And while the AMD RX580 and the AMD RX 6900XT had no such graphical glitches, the game performed horribly on the AMD RX 6900XT.Īt 1440p/Ultra, the RTX2080Ti, RTX3080 and RX 6900XT were able to offer a constant 60fps experience. For those wondering, our GPU is not dying as it works fine in other games. It’s also worth noting that the game has major graphical issues on AMD’s Vega graphics cards.īelow you can find a screenshot showing the graphical glitches of the game on our Vega 64. The only GPUs that were able to run the game smoothly at 1080p/Ultra were our top three GPUs. And even though there were some stutters, the game was perfectly playable.Īlthough ELEX II does not require a high-end CPU, it certainly demands a high-end GPU. When we enabled Hyper-Threading, we got an average of 88fps and a minimum of 79fps at 720p/Ultra settings. Without Hyper-Threading, our simulated dual-core system was unable to offer an acceptable performance due to severe stutters. In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. As such, and for both our CPU and GPU tests, we’ve benchmarked the game’s starting areas. There are also settings for Depth of Field, Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering.ĮLEX II does not feature any built-in benchmark tool. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Textures, Ambient Occlusion, Shadows, Vegetation, Shader, Render Range and Fog. Piranha Bytes has added a few graphics settings to tweak. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 511.79 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 22.2.3 drivers. Powered by the Genome Engine, it’s time now to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3800Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580, RX Vega 64, RX 6900XT, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti and RTX 3080. THQ Nordic has just released the latest RPG from Piranha Bytes, ELEX II.
