The Last of Us 2 also behaves this way, the 5090 is 50% faster than 4090 at 4K for example. The 5090 is 2x the 9070XT. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/the-last-of-us-part-2-performance-benchmark/5.html

The Talos Principle Reawakened launched with ray tracing (lighting and reflections) using UE5 engine. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2806640/discussions/0/599645602069898835/?l=portuguese

They removed it from in game settings (likely a bug), but it's still there in the ini files and can be activated from there.

So, on Windows, FSR4 on RDNA4 should be even faster than this. It shouldn't be surprising if 7900XTX turns out to be a 100% slower.

It's 60% slower in the 7900XTX, way too slow. What do you mean FP8 "emulation"? FSR4 is already using FP8 on RDNA4 without emulation?

Interesting bits, Async Compute on PC doesn't level the playing field with PS5, Async is way faster on PS5. Also spin locking threads is more expensive on PC, PS5 is cheaper, and also uses more of the CPU to help with performance, they couldn't do that on PC as it will cause the game to become...

I was about to list the games the way you did, but you here you are doing the work for me, thanks for the good analysis! The game was updated with 8 patches so far, some of them addressing DirectStorage performance directly. On my end it works perfectly now, didn't notice any issues. I think...

Here are more tests at native 4K, the 5080 is again 15% faster than 9070XT, the 3080 also ties the 6900XT (even though it should be slower). https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/the-last-of-us-part-2-remastered-pc-performance-analysis/ At any rate, part 2 runs way better than part...

According to the ComputerBase and PCGH, the 9070XT is only 4080 Super level. The 5080 is 15% faster at 4K. https://www.pcgameshardware.de/The-Last-of-Us-Part-2-Remastered-Spiel-74482/Specials/PC-Release-Review-Steam-Test-Benchmarks-1469049/3/...

Yes indeed, Naughty Dog and Nixxes talked about this in a very recent interview. The Last of Us engine is highly tailored to PS5 strengths, especially the shared memory pool...

Again no, Nintendo frankly states they "need" to use DLSS. Maybe the launch games didn't have time to implement it just yet.

Nope, Nintendo just confirmed Switch 2 supports DLSS and will use it, as well as ray tracing. https://videocardz.com/newz/nintendo-confirms-swith-2-handheld-support-nvidia-dlss-and-ray-tracing

They said it's a custom processor made by NVIDIA. https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/tech-specs/?srsltid=AfmBOoosFX5xlQqEdSgft8yfehzv82wl4b44bMFy0UBamRVb5YPlY903
