In other words, Quantum Break is the most demanding title we’ve ever tested (at least when it comes to its GPU requirements), and its official PC requirements mislead PC gamers.

Just for the fun, we tried Quantum Break on our GTX690 (which performed similarly to a GTX680 as the game does not support multi-GPUs) and we were able to maintain a constant 30fps experience on Low settings. So basically, PC gamers with really old GPUs will undoubtedly encounter performance issues, and they’ll have to lower their resolutions (or lock the framerate at 30fps). What’s really interesting here, is that our GTX980Ti ran Quantum Break with 90fps on Low settings (we kept our resolution at 1080p). As you can see, there aren’t any frame pacing issues or stutters. Quantum Break ran with a minimum of 50fps with these settings, and below you can find two videos in which you can witness how smoothly the game actually runs. And we are happy to report that with these settings, we did not experience any stutters (apart from when the game was saving). In order to run Quantum Break smoothly, we used the following settings. But let’s be realistic here who would do such a thing on the PC? While Remedy claimed that an NVIDIA GTX980Ti was recommended for Ultra settings, we can confirm that a single GTX980Ti is unable to run this game at 1080p, unless of course you lock the framerate at 30fps.

At 1080p and on Ultra settings, Quantum Break ran with 45fps.

Since this is a DX12-only title, we used PresentMon in order to measure our framerates. While testing the Ultra settings, we experienced severe stuttering and low framerates. Our GTX980Ti was unable to offer a constant 60fps experience at 1080p on Ultra settings. And to Remedy’s credit, this isn’t JUST a rushed console port. However, Quantum Break appears to be the most demanding PC title we’ve ever tested. So time now to see whether we’re dealing with a rushed console port or a really demanding PC title.įor this Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (turbo boosted at 4.0Ghz) with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest WHQL version of the GeForce drivers.Ī lot has already been said about the PC version of Quantum Break, with lots of PC gamers claiming it to be one rushed console port. And to be honest, a lot has been said about the PC version of Quantum Break. Developed by the team behind Max Payne and Alan Wake, Quantum Break looked like a title that would showcase what DX12 is all about. Quantum Break is a game that a lot of PC gamers were looking forward to.
