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.
Mafia: The Old Country is very demanding in its “Epic” quality preset, which is the game’s highest image quality setting. At 1080p, native resolution, the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB almost provides a playable experience, it’s right on the border near 60FPS. Enabling FSR Upscaling helps propel it to a good range at 85FPS average. You may opt to lower the in-game settings in this game on the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB, even at 1080p, if you want native resolution gaming. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB is just a smidge faster than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 5%.

I wonder if we are entering a time of monitors going for better pictures but lower resolution and refresh rates for mass consumers.
I've been keeping an eye on 1440p stuff and from 2025 through 2026 there are quite a few examples of them getting more image quality related features. Basically catching up to what's been what's been happening with the 4K OLED stuff along with some other new features to boot. Sad part is that while 8 GB will suffice for many games at this resolution but there are certainly some AAA titles which will happily use 12 or 16 GB if the card has it to offer. However, there are some very cool 3rd and 4th gen 21:9 models out and on the way.
1080p panels has seen some improvements as well but I have noticed more effort has been put into to getting panels with insanely fast refresh rates which means as long as the system is overall fast, 8GB is perfect for those panels. It seems like the refresh rate angle is the larger focus for display manufacturers with the non-stop swath of 27" 1080p monitors.
The entire sentence could be deleted, and not be missed.
