PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X?
Hi guys,
I am going to finish the first game maybe today, and not sure where to buy the game second game.
I have RTX2080ti, i7-9700K and 16 GB RAM. Not sure my PC can handle this game on higher resolutions.
And I have PS5 and soon also Xbox Series X, bought it for other games but thinking maybe its best for this game? According to Digital Foundry Xbox Series X can run this game stable 40 FPS (I have LG C1 TV with VRR)

But I also want the Dualsense feature which Digital Foundry also mentioned is great in this game...

I don't have a 120Htz TV, so I cannot speak for the 40fps mode, but the 30fps mode on my SX was awful, I'm no FPS snob and I can usually handle 30fps no problem, but Requiem literally gave me a headache trying to play it.

Jumped on my PC (5800x, RTX 3080) and the game runs at a locked 60fps at 1440p max settings and it's fantastic. I assume your 2080Ti should be able to do the same, albeit with some settings knocked to high perhaps.

I'm pretty sure it's on Gamepass, so if you're getting a Series X and have or will be getting Gamepass that route is probably your best bet.

That said, it's good on any of the three you listed. You don't have a bad PC at all, so I'm sure you would be able to run it just fine and probably pull more than the Xbox's 40fps with just a few things turned down and without sacrificing anything with much impact.

Not to knock anything about the PS5 version since I'm sure it's fine, but I'd personally take a higher framerate over anything to do with the Dualsense any day of the week.

Get the game on gamepass because after you finished this one, you will probably not want to play Requiem again. So don´t buy it, just borrow it on gamepass and be done with it.

About the DualSense, if you connect your PS5 controller via USB on PC (not via BT), you get all the good stuff like the haptic feedback etc, at least in this game, and a couple of others as well that were made with the DualSense controller in mind (Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo, ...). The only thing that doesn't seem to work on PC is the controller's internal speaker when you fire your sling etc, at least not on my machine.

PC if you're willing to run the game in DLSS Performance Mode at 4k on your PC (image quality in Performance mode is good at 4K), otherwise Series X.

Do you think I can get 4K 60 FPS with RTX2080ti with performance mode of DLSS? What settings should I select? (preset, or individual settings). Can you share your game options? Maybe screenshot?

My suggestion would be to use the High Preset w/Motion Blur On 4K(DLSS Performance), cap to 40fps if your monitor/TV supports 120hz, 30fps if it's 60hz. This is a very demanding game and even though your rig is a bit more powerful than the current gen consoles it might still struggle to hit 60fps all the time, regardless of settings. I suggest 40fps at 120hz because it divides evenly into the refresh rate, so you won't get stutter from the monitor, and 40fps look and feels quite a bit smoother than 30fps, it's a nice sweet spot in heavy games these days

After some tweaking I used these settings to get 40fps on my RTX 2070 Super build at 1440p, you may tweak them a bit yourself but should be a good starting point for 4k with your build

I do not think so.
With my I7 9700K, 3080 12 GB and 32GB DDR4 3000 i can not run the game in 4K/60 even with DLSS in performance mode. But the 60 fps are not the problem, but the constant stuttering when the engine is loading assets makes the game almost unplayable. Even if you achieve 60 fps it still stutters like hell.

do you have it installed on an SSD and your Driver up to date? In theory at least you shouldn't be getting asset-related stutter too often (though of course your individual experience may vary)
I got GPU-related drops when trying to target 60fps, but no streaming-related issues

Hey, thanks, very good advice.
Can I also try running Spiderman this way like in PS5?
I have LG C1 tv, so if I change it to gaming with VRR profile, it will be OK to run it in 40fps like this? Do I limit the FPS in game or in Nvidia settings?

LG C1 supports VSYNC and GSYNC so it should work for both your PS5 and PC. Though the VRR range is 40hz-120hz so if your framerate drops below 40 the image on screen will tear.

I believe the PS5 versions of the Spiderman games have 120hz modes (at least a 40fps fidelity mode, possibly an unlocked VRR mode). There's also the 60fps standard and RT modes

With Plague Tale on PC you'll have to limit the fps using NVIDIA control panel, the game only has VSYNC, no in-game frame limiter

I have tried playing at 40 FPS but the camera moved slowly.
Then I changed from 40 to 120, left vsync on and turned on gsync, and the game runs at 4K 59-60 FPS 99% of the time, this is amazing.
I am glad I gave this game a chance on my PC, and the dualsense controller features are amazing. Great game.

Sure thing, even tried the game on a NVME.. no change.. constant streaming stutter when the engine loads something. A guy here in the steam forums even put the whole game into a RAM drive, and still got stutters. Has to be engine related and a big fault by the DEV´s.

Don't buy it on PC, the stuttering makes the game trash. Buy it on PS5 for dualsense

The PC-version has dualsense support.
