Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reportedly runs with 60FPS at Native 4K/Ultra on NVIDIA RTX 4090

Deep Silver has lifted the preview embargo for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and some first benchmarks have surfaced for it. According to them, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can run it at Native 4K/Ultra Settings with 60FPS.

GameGPU got access to the preview build and shared the following benchmarks. As we can see, the game features a preset above Ultra, called Experimental. This setting is, most likely, for future GPUs. Sadly, the in-game settings do not clarify whether these higher settings use any Ray Tracing effects. I guess we’ll find out ourselves when the game comes out.

At Native 4K/Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 runs GameGPU’s benchmark scene with a minimum of 58FPS and an average of 70FPS. As for the Experimental Settings, the NVIDIA RTX 4090 appears to not be powerful enough to handle them. At least at Native 4K. With these settings, the game runs with an average of 50FPS and a minimum of 38FPS.

Since this is a preview build, it may not reflect the performance of the final build. Also, different areas of the game might give different results. It also seems like KCD2 doesn’t have a built-in benchmark tool.

Deep Silver will release Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on February 4th. The game is powered by CRYENGINE, and you can find its official PC system requirements here. Plus, Warhorse has confirmed that the game will not be using the Denuvo anti-tamper.

Finally, I’ve included below some new screenshots that Deep Silver released.

Stay tuned for more!

This will def be cool to play on discount later in the year. Im sure being forced to optimize for the series S probably helped them squeeze some performance out of the higher tier configurations as well.

This game will be a good test for the 5080 and 5090. Not sure if the 9070 AMD cards will be out by then.

ahahhahah the main character looks like a massive queer in that screenshot.

RX6600XT>RX7800XT WTF!!!

So about 1000fps when all the ai fake frame shenanigans are enabled. Huge win!!!

John, you really think what percentage of gamers use a 4090 that you chose that title for this article? Let me tell you. Just 1 percent!

He has a 4090, and has been looking at its 4K native performance as a reference for the game's performance/optimization for many games.

Pretty good results at ultra. In the first game I optimized the settings a little bit and game looked amazing and ran pretty great in 1440p on 1080 ti. Only Rattay city murdered my CPU but outside of that place FPS was smooth.

Ultra 4K@60-70 fps native are fine…

Still, the game graphics are quite ambiguous, it has some very natural color and looks kinda photorealistic in some areas or parts of a screenshot,
but then it looks quite like an older game with reshade and mods in others, especially faces, and has the usual CryEngine flat lighting and shadowing that feels like it's missing something. A bit of an opposite to UE.

OTOH, Fextralife just reported an avg 1440@90 on a 3080ti…

corrected.

Is your brain very small? It`t 70 fps on ultra. Experimental is not optimized, as is stated in the article.

  Ok, Ultra at 60-70 is decent enough, i got caught in the Experimental settings chart… Although…
  
  …for Experimental, don't expect anything to look any better, other than just cranking some settings beyond what makes any sense, any observable difference or at any reasonable cost. It's been done before.
  
  PS: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, thanks.
