Mad Max

[Gammagoat]

When playing Mad Max I noticed that gpu usage(50% or less), clock speed(1400mhz) and of course temps(36c) are low compared to say Skyrim or TW3. Skyrim,TW3 run about the same, clock(2060mhz) gpu usage(99%) and temps(46C).

 

I have no complaint with how the game plays, just curious why the game looks and plays so well without my card running as fast as with my other games?

 

Is Mad Max just well optimized? Or am I leaving some performance on the table?

 

Gpu: GTX 1070 G1 +98 clock, +475 memory

I5 6600k @ 4.5

And am playing at 1080p.

How many fps do you hit  in mad max?

1080p isnt really pushing it any more.. but what are your settings.

V-sync is on, so 60fps, as are skyrimSE and TW3.

Everything maxed.

Because it doesn't require that much power as other games

I have the game. It's very well optimized, but it's also not as demanding as those other.

I don't have Skyrim SE but I trust Avalanche much more to put together a well-polished and technically competent PC game than I do Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear Mad Max is easier to run than Skyrim SE. I remember a lot of the launch reviews for Mad Max on PC mentioned how remarkably well it ran while still looking really good.

 

The Witcher 3 is very demanding. It's not that it's a terribly optimized game, but it's much more ambitious than Mad Max. TW3's foliage and shadow settings in particular seem to hit the GPU hard.

Thanks for the info guys, I am a little new to pc gaming and was just a little surprised with the performance of Mad Max.

I didn't consider the foliage and shadowing, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm not saying foliage and shadows in general are harder to render (although that might be a factor), just that the ones in The Witcher 3 seem to have the biggest impact on the framerate out of all of the game's settings.

Well... They're generally tasking on a GPU.
