Immortals Fenyx Rising Performance Analysis

However, this might not be entirely unwanted in some quarters, because poorer visuals mean lower system requirements. Moreover, thanks to the comic book style, the game does not need high-end visuals to look good. Saturated colours, pretty effects, and strong contours make Fenyx Rising appear impressive, despite the fact that some textures in the game look quite muddy.

All in all, gamers will be pleased with the expansive graphics settings menu. Howbeit, users will have to do a decent amount of scrolling when changing settings, because the setting boxes are quite large. Users can change the resolution, display mode, aspect ratio, refresh rate and the resolution scale in the Display tab. Here they can also enable/disable vertical synchronisation and cap the frame rate. The Graphics tab offers a wide variety of settings, all of which can be changed in one fell swoop thanks to the included presets.

There is also a VRAM gauge. For a 2020 title, Immortals Fenyx Rising does not require a lot of video memory. At 1080p on the very high preset, the title only needs about 3 GB of VRAM (about 4.6 GB at 2160p). Positive: the game—just like other Ubisoft titles—explains what each setting does with the help of images and text. The fact that some settings require a restart to take effect is not too annoying, because introductory videos can be skipped. However, the bit where the game is checking for additional content can take a while.

Just like other Ubisoft games, Fenyx Rising comes with a built-in benchmark. In the 40-second benchmark sequence, the camera flies over one of the islands in the game world. There is an overlay, which provides information about the hardware, graphics settings and performance (FPS counter). At the end of the benchmark, users are presented with a detailed performance analysis (minimum, average and maximum frame rates).
