The PlayStation exclusive, Death Stranding, launched the PC version of the 505 Games publication on the Steam and Epic platforms (Tuesday). The PC to allow it to be played with an open number of frames, and it also supports DLSS 2.0 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which provides a 4K experience without affecting the number of frames. One of the most prominent differences between the PC version and the PlayStation is the number of frames, as you can play it at 60 frames or more compared to 30 frames on the PlayStation. The developer of the game, Kojima Productions, confirmed that 60 frames per second is the best way to play, and this was the goal of presenting the game on the PlayStation, but the hardware of the device made that difficult.
The computer version carries many other additions, such as a wide screen mode that provides a cinematic experience. And the ability to control the level of «Depth of Field».
Digital Foundry reviewed the game and the best settings to play. With a Core i5 8400 processor, I showed that it is possible to run the game at 60 frames stably with setting the settings to the best mode using the graphics card “GTX 1060” or “RX 580” with a resolution of 1080p. As for the RTX generation, the “RTX 2060” card was able to present the game at 60 frames per second in 4K resolution when DLSS Quality mode was activated, and up to 80 frames when DLSS Performance mode was activated. As for using the 2080TI, the card provided the game at 95 frames at 4K resolution when DLSS Quality mode was activated, and up to 120 frames when DLSS Performance mode was activated. While it rendered 60 frames per second in true 4K resolution without using DLSS 2.0 technology.
This is because the DLSS 2.0 technology from “NVIDIA” runs the game at a lower resolution in the original and then improves and rebuilds the image via artificial intelligence in the graphics card, preserving the performance of the card to provide a greater number of frames. It is noteworthy that this technology does not work on GTX cards, but only on RTX.
