![]() ![]() Only specific types of plants can be bended, there is shadow flickering on various occasions, and there is noticeable pop-in for distant objects. Still, the game packs some exceptional lava effects, ambient occlusion is being used to give the illusion of extra shadows at dark places, and there are some noteworthy – although scripted – wind effects.Īnd while Risen 3: Titan Lords comes with some great jungle environments (that unfortunately do not come close to those of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag), it’s plagued with numerous graphical issues. Not only that, but all animations and facial expressions are really, really bad. Okay okay, the two/three main characters are ‘okay’ but all the other NPCs are horribly designed. Graphics wise, Risen 3: Titan Lords is a mixed bag while its environments are highly detailed, its human characters are awful. As soon as we enabled Hyper Threading, we witnessed a 70fps boost and a butter smooth gameplay experience. Do note that Piranha Bytes has limited the framerate to 100fps. Our simulated dual-core system was struggling with 30fps and major stuttering side effects (a phenomenon we’ve been witnessing with pretty much all titles, and something that did not occur on our older Core2Duo system). And while the game scales on six CPU cores, it does not stress them at all.ĭualcore CPU owners, on the other hand, will have to enable Hyper Threading in order to avoid possible CPU limitations. In order to avoid any possible GPU limitation, we ran the game – for our CPU scaling purposes – at 800×600. Hexacores, pentacores and quadcores can run Piranha Bytes’ latest title without any performance issues. The performance difference between Medium and Ultra shadows – as can be seen below – is around 20fps, and this is clearly the first option you’ll have to tweak in case you find yourself limited by your GPU.Īs we’ve already said, Risen 3: Titan Lords scales well on multiple CPU cores. The option that comes with the largest performance hit is undoubtedly the one for Shadows. PC gamers can choose the amount of Anisotropic Filtering, enable/disable Depth of Field, Anti-Aliasing and Water Reflections, and can adjust the quality of Shadows, Landscapes, Textures, Foliage, Shaders, Viewable Object Distance and Viewable Landscape Distance. Thankfully, the game comes with a variety of graphics options to tweak. PC gamers will need a high-end single GPU in order to enjoy Piranha Bytes’ RPG at its highest settings. ![]() As you can see from the screenshots – and the performance video – that accompany this article, a single GTX680 is unable to provide a constant 60fps experience at 1080p with max settings.
