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 are running at 1080p with the “Ultra” quality preset, which is the highest graphics settings possible. This is another game that uses always on Ray Tracing. The PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC 8GB provides a playable and smooth gameplay experience at 83FPS average at native resolution, and with DLSS Upscaling that is boosted to 96FPS. The PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC 8GB is 19% faster than the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB video card, which does make a difference. Overclocking the PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC 8GB provides a 6% performance uplift.

Join Discussion →That is a powerhouse of a 1080p gamer. Very nice... I'd call it budget it it's still almost as much as a modern console... oof.
I admit I jumped on the 8GB hate bandwagon of late, but very happy to see how well this card performs at 1080p.
I remember doing some tests with my 4090 a couple of years ago at 1080p with settings maxed to just see what FPS my rigs were capable of, but I was also shocked by how nice modern games can look at 1080p w/ current textures, RT, etc., so a value-priced card like this providing the same visuals is a great deal. I even noticed how the Amazon price dropped to $349 for now.
i think a lot of folks are doing a 180 now that more RAM requires a credit check and reverse mortgage
Maybe Ram Doubler will make a comeback.
Paying $350 for 8GB in 2026. That's a hard no from me dawg. It'll probably be consider a hot deal in a few months. The dark times have returned.
Linux and indie gaming is on the rise, I kid you not. Younger gamers with little cheddar grow weary of corpo greed. But not just the cash strapped either. My son has a 5800X3D, 32GB 3600, 7800XT. You know what he and his friends are playing? Vintage Story. It will run on a decade old potato. Tarkov is the only game they play that is hard to run. Also indie. Almost everything they play is indie.
