Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure RPG set in the megalopolis of Night City, where you play as a cyberpunk mercenary wrapped up in a do-or-die fight for survival. Improved and featuring all-new free additional content, customize your character and playstyle as you take on jobs, build a reputation, and unlock upgrades. The relationships you forge and the choices you make will shape the story and the world around you. Legends are made here. What will yours be?
Available now on Steam.
The gaming performance isn’t bad, but in light of the more expensive options that we’ve tested, it is on the lower end. I was hoping it would be a little higher though, with the ASUS TUF and MSI Tomahawk both delivering 10 FPS more despite having similar DDR4 configurations.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Experience Aloy’s entire legendary quest to unravel the mysteries of a world ruled by deadly Machines. An outcast from her tribe, the young hunter fights to uncover her past, discover her destiny… and stop a catastrophic threat to the future.
Unleash devastating, tactical attacks against unique Machines and rival tribes as you explore an open world teeming with wildlife and danger. Horizon Zero Dawn is a multi-award-winning action role-playing game – and this Complete Edition for PC includes the huge expansion The Frozen Wilds, featuring new lands, skills, weapons and Machines.
Available now on Steam.
The same is true in Horizon, with the other DDR4 options performing much better, but overall, performance is still very good here.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
Developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel, and optimized for PC by Nixxes Software, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC introduces an experienced Peter Parker who’s fighting big crime and iconic villains in Marvel’s New York. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his chaotic personal life and career while the fate of Marvel’s New York rests upon his shoulders.
Available now on Steam.
And while the performance is still on the low end of the chart here, for once it actually is in line with the other two DDR4 motherboards that performed largely the same.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
The Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards garnered, but it is also a “Thank You” to our fans – new and old – that have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon. Best of all, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year Edition will be available as a free update for existing players on PC.
Available now on Steam.
Weirdly, it did great in Flight Simulator though, but I am starting to feel FS just spits out random numbers looking at the overall FPS distribution here.
