Super weird how Steve's face fits all these.

[jellybeenz]

I knew Steve was hiding something....he's been the God of War this whole time

[MKR]

you can save around 20GB of SSD space when you delete unused language files

Why does it run so bad on AMD GPUs, especially considering there's not any kind of raytracing in this game? It was originally literally developed for RDNA2 hardware, and it is running really bad on RDNA2 GPUs, one tier below where usually it should be compared to their NVIDIA counterparts.

[vinyfiny]

Steve is standing and... not upset? This is madness.

[tehfoxxy]

The thumbnails have been on point these past few GPU Benchmarks XD

[adamosmaki]

Rdna 2 seems to underperform way to much on this game. No way a 6700xt at 1080p on a last gen game barely hits 50fps and a 3060ti been faster than a 6800 does not make any sense

[twizzbharat]

Thumbnail shows Steve's face after watching 50 hours of cut scenes 😂

[omagad]

is it me or does the game feel like poorly optimized for AMD GPUs i mean just look at the difference between rx7800xt & rtx 4070S in 1080&1440p. even the gre and sometimes 7900xt falls short

[XenonNito]

30% performance diff between 3080 and 6800XT with only rasterization is crazy.

[AmigoAmigo-wp]

I see its now a trend with most new games. "VRAM LIMIT HAS BEEN EXCEEDED" even at 1080P

[MilinkovicFilip]

Watching the testing series over an extended period of time is really good for forming a picture of what tier of gpu I should plan for in my next build, even if it's probably going to be the next generation.

[notatechguy]

Okay, so how are the Arc A770 and RTX 2060 Super part of the recommended specs when the A770 only gets 34 fps at 1080p, medium, with TAA on and the RTX 2060 Super isn't even in your test suite? I have an RTX 2060 so I thought I was in the clear. Can we get a video testing Ragnarok with the Steam-recommended hardware ( Ryzen 3600/ Arc A770, RTX 2060 Super, and the RX 5700) and see what settings it would take to get them to run at 1080p 30 - 60 fps. I feel like these benchmark videos are incomplete when you leave off actual recommended hardware, even if you decide it's unplayable some of us would like to see how they perform.

[Matticitt]

For a game designed to run on AMD hardware the Radeon GPUs work quite badly here.

[pokrobloxvideos]

how is the rx 7800 xt bit faster then a 3070 it should be a lot faster doesn't make sense.

[brzimtrco]

How am I getting more frames at 1440p with my 6700xt than you are getting at 1080p? And I was testing it in the same place as you.

[YoutubeTookMyNickname.WhyNot]

Hmm, game makers and GPU makers are out of sync just like in between 2000-2010. EDIT: Back to Unavowed on my RX6800.

[BatteryBee]

Quality thumbnail. Does Steve frequently shout "Boy!" at Tim? 😁

[devonjohnson]

I really appreciate these kind of videos, as they're helpful to gauge a buying target or to set expectations. The charts showing native render vs various upscaling techs are great. A (heartfelt) Thanks, Steve!

[vasudevmenon]

Came here for the thumbnail. The editor made Steve a hardware unboxed official model for thumbnails
