3With the release of the Third Edict league, and major content update with patch 0.3.0, many players have experienced performance issues. Let's Benchmark the game and see how it performs at 4K resolution.
This game has DX11 ( deprecated ), DX.12 and Vulkan support. Today I'll be testing Vulkan.
It uses DLSS 3.7.10, FSR 2.1, XeSS version 1.3.1. and Nvidia Image Scaling.
I can not update to the latest versions of these because my account will get banned.
