We’ve seen this behavior in the past in some other DX11 games. As such, we can safely assume that these optimization issues are due to the memory frequency limitations. We should also note that none of our CPU cores were maxed out. Our Intel i7 4930K had some drops below 30fps, and was able to push an average of 48fps at 1080p/Max settings. The game’s optimization issues also greatly affected our Intel i7 4930K system.

Without Hyper Threading, the game was unplayable on our dual-core system due to severe stuttering issues. Our simulated dual-core system was dropping to 30fps in some areas during our benchmark scene, and provided an average of 67fps. 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. Again, let us remind you that this is a stress test. There were numerous drops to mid 40s, with the GPU being underused. In the first city battle, our Intel i9 9900K could not provide a smooth gaming experience at 1080p/Max settings.

Kingdom Under Fire 2 only supports the DX11 API and suffers from optimization issues. Do note that this is a stress test, meaning that other areas of the game will run faster. Therefore, we’ve decided to benchmark the first big city battle. In case you’re wondering, the game does not come with any built-in benchmark tool. There are also options for Motion Blur, HDR, Light Scattering, Shallow Focus, SSAO and Shadows. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Textures, Terrain, Shaders, Shadows, Post-processing and Anti-aliasing. NVIDIA has not included any SLI profile for this title, meaning that our GTX690 performed similarly to a single GTX680.īlueside has added a few graphics settings to tweak. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce driver 441.20 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.11.3 drivers. Gameforge has provided us with a review code so it’s time to benchmark this game 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 3600Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, GTX980Ti and GTX690. After a 12-year development hell, Kingdom Under Fire 2 is finally here with us.
