Kepler Interactive has just released the tropical open-world adventure game from Awaceb, Tchia. Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and released exclusively via Epic Games Store, it’s time to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.
For this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i9 9900K, 16GB of DDR4 at 3800Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580, RX Vega 64, RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080 and RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 531.26 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 23.2.1 drivers.
Tchia comes with a few graphics settings to tweak. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Anti-Aliasing, Post Processing, Textures, Effects, Shadows and more. There is also a setting for Screen Space Global Illumination. Furthermore, the game supports NVIDIA’s DLSS 2 tech.
Tchia does not feature any built-in benchmark tool. Thus, for both our CPU and GPU benchmarks, we used this opening area. From what we could tell, this area appeared to stress both the CPU and the GPU.
In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. And we are happy to report that even a modern-day dual-core system can provide constant 60fps at 1080p/Max Settings, provided you enable Hyper-Threading.
Here are also come 1080p benchmark comparisons between the Intel Core i9 9900K and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Without making any changes to the CCDs, AMD’s latest CPU provides a healthy 45-62% performance boost. Then, by disabling CCD1, we can further increase performance by 15-28%.
Our top five GPUs were able to provide a smooth gaming experience at both 1080p and 1440p. At 4K/Epic Settings, the RTX3080 was able to match the performance of the RX 6900XT and come close to a 60fps experience. However, there were drops to mid-50fps on both of these GPUs. So, the only GPUs that can offer a constant 60fps experience at native 4K are the RX7900XTX and RTX4090.
Graphics-wise, Tchia is pleasing to the eye. This game is from a small team, so you should not expect it to push the graphical boundaries of UE4. Nevertheless, it looks lovely, especially due to its art style. Moreover, players can interact with almost all trees, bushes and grass blades. That’s a nice touch that most of you will appreciate while playing it.
Unfortunately, though, Tchia suffers from some shader compilation stutters. The good news here is that these stutters are not that frequent. Most of them occur in the first 2-3 minutes or so. After that, the game becomes really smooth. So no, this isn’t a stutter fest. Still, it will be a welcome addition if Awaceb adds the ability to compile shaders before starting the game.
All in all, Tchia performs well on PC. The game does not require a high-end CPU, and can run with more than 100fps even on older CPUs like the i9 9900K. Tchia also looks lovely, and has reasonable GPU requirements. The game also supports DLSS 2, meaning that RTX owners can use it to boost their performance. However, it’s a shame there is no support for FSR 2.0 or UE4’s Temporal Upscampling.
Enjoy!

i was gonna ask if this is worth checking out, after watching the attached video, nope.
Is this Wind Waker with a Dixie Kong mod?
Was wondering how long it was gonna take for the DSO racists to show up
its not DSOG without racism *sigh*
Sucks. I really wish John would put his foot down with some of this crap. I’d bet money that plenty of level headed people that visit this site don’t engage in the comments because of it.
there is a vote each year with those options:
1.Unrestrained Policy but with the ability to ban spammers
2.Users can talk about anything other than racist or political stuff. Personal attacks will not be allowed
3.Only PC-gaming related stuff
and each time its number 1 that wins the vote by a large margin, it was nice at the start(im visiting this website since 2012 more or less) apart for some trolls here and here but it was a double edged sword because it attracted all those racists troglodytes, and John wont do a thing.
so do like me, block them interacting with them is a waste of time.
Yeah I’m familiar with the vote. The situation is still very disappointing. I voted 2 last time. Makes me weep for society seeing so many vote 1 when we all know EXACTLY why they voted that.
it makes me weep for society that we have to accept this unbearable ugliness and degeneracy and mediocrity that we see today and people who are angry about it are the b ad guys.
He’s just giving us what we voted for. There’s a new vote every October.
Yet, here you are, a racist who supports that terrorist and pedophile haven that is the “state” of IsraHell that hates ALL gentiles (including you).
BTW, how are malwares going on for your computer because Unity merged with an ISRAHELLI company that made malwares, huh pedophile terrorist lover?
Don’t you feel anything when these conglomerates check off their list the following for a vote?
> Gay
> Lesbian
> Black
> Gender Fluid
> Disorders
If not, then YOU are what is wrong with this Western Trend they keep showing down our throats. It’s even worse when you support them. They need to understand when to stop. When enough is enough.
Don’t YOU feel anything when you take this very checklist and use it as a template for what to hate and berate? You don’t feel at all odd that all you want to see everywhere is white “normalcy?” Why am I asking that, of course a racist bigot sees no issue with their racist bigotry. Hitler thought he was right too…
White normalcy? Calling me a racist bigot? lmao
Bro I may be white but I’m not stupid. I know when something is forced and repetitive.
Have you ever heard the saying, it get’s real old real fast?
Sadly to say mate, you would’ve been on Hitler’s top of the list you “little blk genderfluid lover”.
The Legend of Stunning: Breath of the Brave.
Damn the 7950x is a dramatic improvement over the 9900k, still i think i’ll hold onto my 9900k until the end of this gen.
John, can you check what UE4 version the game is? If it’s 4.26+, then TSR can be enabled from ini.
Maybe even FSR2 can be modded in.
Çok i?ime yarad? bende bunu nas?l yapaca??m? ara?t?r?yorum. Payla??m için te?ekkür ederim.
Another POS gayme from the creatively bankrupt pink-haired troons that the sole purpose of it is to push their political agenda, normalize degeneracy, destroy entire families and human civilization altogether and nothing else, as if it didn’t look trash already with not even a single “fun” thing about it.
BTW, this is supposed to be a “kids game!”

Shove it into the Satanic Jewish anus because that’s where this POS belongs.
This garbage gayme is certified h*mo. Another thing this gayme is pure bs.
is it troons or french fgs?
It’s worse than French phags, it’s the (((Canadian))) subhuman groomers.

I feel like too many POS games nowadays are shoving this sht down our throats. Like give it a rest already, we get it, you guys need the gaivote.
Gr3at post, thanx.
Thx 4 sharing bro.
A well done Summer in Mara?
Ok, game is UE 4.26 and it can use TSR.
Any chance of a rerun some of the benchmarks while running the game with -DX12? Should be vastly less CPU bound.
They should make another one named Tchibo
And another POS Zelda clone!
Woke Ni**er Zelda garbage. F*kn Disgusting trash!!
