Can Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PC match - and exceed - the PS5 experience?

Yeah just to confirm, I relaunched it on ps5.
4k40 fidelity rt mode is unlocked and feels like maybe 50. Custom lfc within vrr so my tv doesn’t show fps. But it looks and feels awesome. I really need to replay this.

So there is little to no reason they picked performance rt mode for this comparison.
That's what Alex said.

Why the 40 FPS Mode and Not the 30 fps one? Also only Rich has the possibility to record 120hz modes (40 FPS) at 4K with a preproduction professional grade capture card. I do not own one, like most humans on earth.

It was either the 30fps or that. Now will you guys quit your conspiracy theories?

not to intrude, but he literally says 15 seconds after your timestamp that "it wouldn't have been possible without the solid state drive of the ps5"

Because it wouldn't been possible on the PS4. And yet today we saw that these low specced machines with HDD won't run the game at all like it runs on the PS5.

Is this part of the video still so hard to understand for some people after 3 years? This game isn't even possible without the help of the PS5 subsystem, RTXIO or Direct Storage on PC. Some modders might be able to disable Direct Storage on PC. I bet would completely freeze on PC with HDD and even with SSD's.

It's the "we believe in generations" quote again. Completely take out of context.

As always and i love seeing all the meltdowns after all these years. First Xbox 12TF power (PS5 is completely outperforming that brick), SSD downplaying (but hey we are cheering for Direct Storage and RTXIO).

5K pc's are getting destroyed by the PS5 in this game...."but but my 4090 and 64GB ram". We had the Ray Tracing nonsense back then. Yet the PS5 is the only console that has first party RT in many games.

What's next on the bingo list?

Then have richard play on PS5 and John plays on another card.

Thats a bs excuse. They were doing visual fidelity tests most of the time anyway. If they really wanted to, they couldve switched to the 60 fps mode for framerate analysis. Using Performance RT mode for the entire 1 hour long video dissecting graphics is nuts.

If hes planning on doing this again because boohoo he cant do 4k 40 fps captures then just record it from the tv. Most tvs show the framerate nowadays.

That big sequence early in the game where Ratchet is flying through portal after portal to different worlds, i had 2 pauses that lasted about 1-2 seconds on 2 of the portals. Some of the portals in that sequence worked perfectly though. The actual portals in gameplay where you LB it and zoom forward, they all worked perfectly. Basic Sata SSD here.

Well there we go. Completely valid reason for using the performance RT mode.
Of course, it's valid. It's just like I said last time when posters here were losing their shit over the let's play RE4 video. They were claiming DF was trying to make the PS5 look bad when it was clear as day it was just an unscripted play session. A few days later, they released the proper analysis.

Dude, you already made up your mind. You hate DF and you hate Alex. You're given a perfectly valid reason for them choosing the 60fps mode. Alex has also said he'll be doing a full analysis on Friday, so what are you complaining about exactly?

Some of you guys are just insufferable when it comes to DF.

He might've been the only one with a PC that bad, though it's higher than minimum spec (and has SSD).

Exactly. They said 960 which is a 2GB card, not a 4GB card like the 570. The 570 is also like 50% faster than the 960 so not sure why they picked it.

He's making that excuse now because he wont be doing the comparison using the native 4k vrr fidelity mode. I know these guys. This aint my first rodeo.

They say that but then go on to compare crowd and traffic density and say pc is higher… but it’s higher on ps5 also in fidelity mode lol.
It was a quick look so it sends the message well enough I guess.
Anyway…. At least it’s some explanation. If anyone needs that capture card, it’s them.

“Destroyed by the PS5”

I didn’t realize PS5 can run the game at 120+fps.

Rich addressed that too early in the video. The minimum spec is a 960 or a 470 and Rich only had a 570. They scrounged up what they had to match the minimum requirements as closely as possible.

Then don't bother watching him? You don't like Alex or perhaps even DF so don't waste your time with them. Do like that other poster whose name escapes me and acts like a 10-year old by calling Alex Battaglia, Bugaga and shut off the video as soon as it's him.

The annoying thing here is DF videos often devolve into attacking DF and the content gets glossed over.

At least enable motion blur man ! The animations in this game demand it!

Their entire job is to critique graphics. They are critics by definition. And they are not above criticism. If I see them using flawed methodology, I am going to call them out, sorry.

Again, this is not the first time.

They used to be a credible source and have shown to be less than. They deserve to be mocked when they can easily be called out for pushing a narrative. Call it down the middle or don't bother.

Yeah but it also comes in 2GB which would probably suck, on the list it doesn't state which 960. Isn't the 470 much better than a 960?
Well going from memory the 480 is pretty similar to the 1060, so yeah the 470 would be more powerful than the 960, although not by a large amount.

At least it was more light hearted video. Full review is coming.
But people look up to them and use their videos as arguments. It is kinda important

Which is fine and what it should boil down to. Leave this conspiracy theory shit out the door. The analysis will come on Friday.

I have no problem criticizing the content. Attacking the guys doing it is moronic and completely useless.

Here is the game running maxed out at native 4k on a 4090 13900k. Around 69 fps during combat and 78 fps during slow sections.



This GPU is like 3.5-4x more powerful than the PS5. Probably 5x in ray traced games. It is clearly underperforming here because in Spiderman Miles it was doing 130 fps. I wonder if this is due to the GPU decompression pegging back the GPU. The CPU utilization looks way lower compared to Spiderman and TLOU Part 1 which were doing decompression on the CPU.

Can this be turned off? I want to see just how much of an impact RTX IO can have on a GPU's performance.

I will run this section on my PS5 and see if i can capture the framerate. Unfortunatley, the LG CX doubles the framerate if it goes below 48 fps so i will have to find a section that gets up to 50 fps.

I'm looking up some tests on YT with 2GB model and 4GB model.
2GB


4GB


Not sure why the 960 is the low card for Nvidia for this game.

I see the GPU being constantly around 99% usage.

The settings are also higher than on PS5 and it has additional RT effects which add a lot to the load. I have no doubt that the PS5 performs significantly better than an equivalent PC, but these aren't exactly matched settings.

I find all the 4090 comparisons a bit over the top. These 090 cards are titan class. It’s a nonsense card because someone will pay that. 4080 makes more sense although it’s still crazy expensive. 4090 doesn’t exist for me personally and I am surprised it’s used as basis for most tech vids. People validated nvidia.

As for better graphics. Well yeah it’s ultra. But more in a name than visuals.

4080 should make more sense than a 4090, but sadly, it doesn't. You should be at the point of extreme diminishing returns at the top end but you're not. I was one of those "just add another $400 for the 4090" types. 33% more money for 25-40% better performance and 50% more VRAM was a no-brainer for me.

The 4090 seems to be a lot more popular than the 4080 which is why you're seeing much more.

Expecting Alex Baglaglia to use the same performance RT mode on PS5 vs uber high settings DLSS Quality 4K on an RTX 4090 in his scripted video about the PC port. 🙃

Just use the default 30fps fidelity mode if you don't have the necessary hardware for capturing a 120hz video feed. At least that's if you want to compare apples to apples on IQ.

Running on a steam deck from an SD card which is great if true
It's 480p native though (FSR2.1 ultra performance), on a handheld, it might look decent enough.
Edit: fps isn't terrible but not great, it's like a FromSoft game. Loading isn't great, but not dog shit.

we should be doing 6700xt comparisons as that card is only slightly more powerful than the ps5, plus they have a similar AMD featureset.

oh hey, you're here Rivet Rivet judging by the laughing emoji on one of my posts. So, will you change your avatar & name now that rift apart is on PC?

Gotta wait for AMD update for RT.

I'm sure that Rivet Rivet is just having some good quality time with their Lombax friends as GAF is just not entertaining anymore. 🥱
