Gaming Performance Continued
All data was captured fresh and new, as of October, 2025 on the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with driver version 581.57, and the latest game patches. We are using the highest stable overclock on the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: 3201MHz / 32Gbps.
Dying Light: The Beast
Dying Light: The Beast was released on September 18th, 2025, and uses the C-Engine gaming engine. This game has improved character models, higher resolution textures, and better lighting with a more vibrant environment, and better indirect shadows and bounce lighting with screen space reflections. This game supports DLSS 4, Multi Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex. We are utilizing a manual run-through in the Golden Pine area.
In Dying Light: The Beast, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti plays this game very well at High Quality settings at 94FPS, and with DLSS Quality Upscaling that improves to 127FPS. Overclocking allows an 8% uplift in performance, bringing performance to over 100FPS, and with DLSS, the improvement is also 8%.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West was launched to the PC in March of 2024 and is based on the Decima game engine. For the PC release, Horizon Forbidden West added support for ultrawide and super ultrawide resolutions, as well as NVIDIA DLSS 3 upscaling and frame generation, FSR and XeSS, and NVIDIA Reflex. The game features a visually detailed experience with high-quality textures, detailed character models, and an environment with day-night cycles and weather. For our manual run-through, we have chosen an area in the game that walks the character through a long distance between Chainscrape and Barren Light.
In Horizon Forbidden West, the game runs great at maximum settings at 1440p at over 100FPS on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and with DLSS Quality Upscaling, it runs great at 134FPS. Overclocking provides a 5% performance uplift, bringing it to 113FPS, and with DLSS, that uplift is 5%.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was released to PC in December of 2024 and is based on the Motor (id Tech 7) engine. This is another game that runs with ‘ray tracing’ enabled at all times by default. This game features ray-traced global illumination, sun shadows, and reflections, and has additional full path tracing options on supported video cards. The game also features NVIDIA DLSS, frame generation, textures, shadows, environments, and lighting. For this game, we are using an in-game manual run-through in an open outdoor area of The Stolen Cat Mummy: The Vatican mission with bright sunlight.
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at 1440p with Supreme quality, the game runs great at 143FPS on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and up to 163FPS with DLSS Quality. Overclocking provides a 7% performance uplift, bringing performance to 153FPS.
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we can turn on Full Ray Tracing in this game, and it is actually very playable at 71FPS on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 1440p with DLSS Quality Upscaling enabled. Overclocking provides an 8% performance uplift and brings performance up to 77FPS.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was released to PC in February of 2025 and is based on the CryEngine. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is another game where ‘ray tracing’ is enabled at all times by default. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II features an advanced global illumination system for realistic lighting, detailed textures, and geometry, and upscaling technologies including DLSS and FSR. It is based on CryEngine’s sparse vocal octree global illumination for dynamic lighting and shadows. We are utilizing an in-game manual run-through in the open world between cities, through a settlement, and a heavily forested area with direct bright sunlight.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, we can run at 1440p on Ultra settings on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and it provides smooth gameplay at around 101FPS and with DLSS 121FPS. Overclocking provides a 4% performance uplift, and with DLSS, a 5% increase.
Mafia: The Old Country
Mafia: The Old Country was released to PC in August of 2025 and is based on the Unreal Engine 5 game engine. Mafia: The Old Country features Nanite and Lumen from Unreal Engine 5 with detailed environments and realistic lighting, with MetaHuman for characters. It does use Lumen for realistic global illumination and shadows. It also supports DLSS, FSR, XeSS, and TSR. We are using a manual in-game run-through in the Prologue: Tremori section that takes place outdoors, in the entirety of the outdoor section playthrough in the daylight.
In Mafia: The Old Country, this game is very demanding, and at 1440p in Epic settings, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti manages to almost hit 60FPS average, and with DLSS Quality Upscaling 83FPS, and the game is much smoother. Overclocking provides a 7% performance uplift, bringing performance up to 63FPS, and with DLSS, also a 7% performance uplift.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl was released to PC in November 2024 and is based on Unreal Engine 5. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl features UE5’s Lumen and Nanite. Lumen is used for direct and indirect global illumination, realistic reflections and a detailed environment. Nanite is used for complex geometry and detailed terrain with high-quality props. High-poly models are also used, along with physically based materials. There are post-processing effects, including volumetric smoke and fog. The game supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR 3, and Intel XeSS as well as TAA. We will be using the game’s built-in graphics preset options and adjust Upscaling where needed. We perform a manual run-through in the open world of the Lesser Zone, in an outdoor environment in the daytime in a GPU-oriented run-through.
In Stalker 2, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti runs well at 1440p at Epic settings at 74FPS, and DLSS Quality Upscaling runs at 100FPS. Overclocking provides a 5% performance uplift and brings performance to 78FPS.
