A Plague Tale: Requiem
A Plague Tale: Requiem is a stealth-survival horror adventure that serves as a direct sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence. Players continue the harrowing journey of Amicia and Hugo de Rune, two young siblings navigating a plague-ridden France in the 14th century. The game features stunning visuals, intense action sequences, and a gripping narrative that explores themes of family, resilience, and the darkness within.
For our first game, we ran A Plague Tale: Requiem and at 1440p, the RTX 5080 comes in packing 18% more performance than the RTX 4080 and 13% more than the 4080 SUPER, which while it doesn’t sound huge, considering that the 4080 SUPER came in 20% more expensive, this is quite a big win, though it does only put it 12% ahead of AMD which is currently retailing for $40 less at the moment.
As we move up to 4K, there’s not much change with an 18% uplift over the RTX 4080, and 13% over the 4080 SUPER and again, a similar but somewhat smaller uplift, now at 10% over the 7900 XTX. One big point that I noticed, is that the 5080 does sport better performance increases in the 1% lows than what we saw with the 5090, though this looks likely to be down to the driver, which we looked at just a few days ago so who knows what future updates may bring.
