God of War Ragnarök finally arrives on PC after two years as a PlayStation exclusive. It still looks stunning and plays really well, with support for DLSS 3, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 1.3.

- Start date
This game looks very good, especially with DLAA.
7800XT, 6900XT, and 6800XT, all with 16GB, sits around 3070 8GB level - Wow.
7900XT 20GB at 4070 SUPER 12GB level too. 4070 SUPER uses 220 watts as well.
AMD really lacked performance in most newer AAA games.

And DLSS/DLAA is the way to go in them all on top of this.
+ Nvidia FG works vastly better than AMD FG.
I begin to understand why AMD leaves the high-end GPU market.
Lets hope AMD will rebound with RDNA4 / Radeon 8000 and grab some marketshare back. It is not looking good right now. AMD is at like 10% dGPU marketshare, dropping month for month.
The problem for AMD is that RDNA4 won't really be fighting 4000 series, but 5000 series and top RDNA4 SKU is rumoured to hit 7900GRE levels in terms of performance, with slightly improved RT performance. Will this be enough to hit 5070 performance? I highly doubt it. Maybe 5060 level.

Black Myth Wukong In-Game Performance Benchmark Review - 35 GPUs Tested
Black Myth Wukong has over two million gamers playing the game. This souls-like action RPG is a huge hit, especially in China. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the graphics look great, but hardware requirements are definitely not on the light side, we had to use upscaling. In our performance review...

I have this game on ps5 and now on pc.. they look very similar, I play on the same tv on 4k, performance mode for ps5 and ultra with fsr quality on 6900xt.. Pc on ultra is slightly better looking than ps5 but not so much to say that it is justified that the game runs very well with 60 fps native on gpus like 7900 gre @2k resolution!? .. should run way better. Ps5 also uses scaling but considering it's humble hardware runs way better than pcs.. I don't know which sections of the game are used for testing but on my pc with 6900xt the game runs well above 90 fps 90% of the time on 4k ultra with fsr quality setting..
Good article... and good point made about compression vs download time vs performance.
The 4090 usually leads the pack, ok, but in this game the dominance is hilarious.
Just look at those charts! In WQHD it's low FPS are 30 frames faster than the average (!) FPS of the second best card (4080 Super). That feels like more distance than usual to the 4080 Super and 7900XTX. FHD and UHD Charts look the same.
Too bad the 4090 is still so pricey so near it's EOL. When a card has no direct competition for such a long time the market price stays rock solid. A coming 5090 will continue this pattern (with 200-500 bucks on top), I assume.

"heavy decompression can lead to in-game stuttering"
I haven't played the game but why would that be? if the CPU isn't being stressed then surely they can decompress the areas around the player in the background and on other cores. They could prioritise the area that the player is heading for. I assume the player is only walking so the number of areas a player can go to is fairly limited. If there isn't enough time to fully decompress the area around a player then just throw in some extra creatures to fight so the player isn't looking at the scenery so much.
It might make an interesting article talking about how scenery and terrain are stored in games and how efficient different game engines are and how attractive their effects are.

4090 has about 60% more cores than 4080 so I guess it makes sense! Price is also 60% higher! Hehe
The higher the resolution, the more these cores will work! No-one buys 4090 for 1080p. Even for 1440p it is overkill! I would say 3440x1440 is the bare minimum for 4090!
I don't think anyone buys 4090 this late in a generation and Nvidia cards don't really get cheaper in most cases, because demand is high. This also means resale value stays high!
What we need, is AMD to actually compete in the GPU market! There is sadly no hope I think. I heard next generation of cards from AMD is going to be mid tier stuff only.

Yeah thats true, 4090 don't really make sense unless you use 4K/UHD+
All those cores and high bandwidth, aimed at high res.
5090 looks to be a 4K+ beast.
32GB GDDR7, 512 bit, ~22K Cores.
Nvidia is not holding back, even tho they have full AI focus.

Dude, chill. It's one game. Remember Space Marine 2? The 7900XT beat the 4080 and almost beat the 4080 Super., which both cost more:This game looks very good, especially with DLAA.

Results are always a bit of a mix, but there's no need to talk like AMD's somehow dead in the water. Their hardware is performing just fine lmao

Yeah I remember it. Techspot used 7800X3D and was CPU limited here.
Is this why you left out 1080p and 1440p numbers, which showed a huge CPU bottleneck.
Here, let me help you: https://www.techspot.com/review/2891-warhammer-space-marine-2-benchmark/
Techpowerup used 14900K and results vastly differ.
Space Marine 2 is highly single threaded, which is why 7800X3D bottlenecks.

Besides, why are you looking at 4K/UHD only, when 99% of PC gamers use 1440p or lower?
Did you notice the CPU bottleneck as well?

Because high resolutions are for benchmarking GPU performance, and low resolutions are for benchmarking CPU performance. We've known this for the last 15 years mate.Besides, why are you looking at 4K/UHD only, when 99% of PC gamers use 1440p or lower?
Also, in the Techpowerup review (at 4k, because again, we are benchmarking GPU performance not CPU) the results are almost unchanged; the 4080 and the 7900 XT trade places is all, and all the cards lost about 7-10 fps in this benchmark. The 4090 took the biggest hit overall going from 95 to 82, even though obviously it's still king of the heap by a good margin, as expected.

Woke bullshit unoptimized piece of **** instead of the game so who cares
5090 will beat 4090 by 30-40%
5080 will beat 4080 by 15-25%
Using the same node as 4000 series.
Nvidia still have the option to go 3nm whenever they feel like it.
They won't really need it, before RTX 6000 series in 2026! Will probably be on 2nm or better!
AMD has reached the end of GPU evolution. Nvidia has not!
AMD is pretty much going backwards with RADEON 8000 series!
AMD will probbaly not even be competing with 5070 next gen! 5060 is probably just as good as top RADEON 8000 card in raster while RADEON 8000 top card will loose in everything else, upscaling, framegen, rt and path tracing.
What AMD really need is a slamdunk card, without launch issues like 5700XT had (BSOD for months and months on end after release), eventually 5700XT sold well !!!
AMD is in desperate need of a success in the gaming GPU department and hopefully next gen RADEON will deliver that!

If you don't know the difference between being CPU and being GPU bound, then I don't know what to tell you.
As you can see in the link, there is massive difference gen to gen.
The person I quoted said this: "
I scanned through the tests comparing the same models from 2 generations.
5% average in improvement. We have reached the end of GPU evolution.
I am waiting with excitement for 5060 and another 5% speed increase."
So, once again, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you agreeing with this assertion? Are you not?
Which two models from different gen have 5% difference between them here?

To put it simply: if you really think that there was only 5% uplift between 2 GPU generations then I rest my case (especially if there's some data point you cherry picked from an article about a game as limited as GoW)
Once again, name which 2 cards you are talking about.
