Yesterday, a lot of PC gamers got a bit worried with Dead or Alive 6’s somehow high CPU requirements. KOEI Tecmo recommended an Intel Core i7 8700 which made no sense for a fighting game, right? Well, after playing the game we can confirm that the recommended CPU requirement was an exaggeration and nothing more, though it appears that the game currently suffers from a CPU optimization issue.
As always, for our first technical impressions we used our Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 2133Mhz, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2080Ti, Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce 419.17 driver. When we booted the game, we noticed a 100% CPU usage on all of our 12 CPU threads. We don’t know why the game is using all these threads however we were getting a constant 60fps in 4K on Max settings.
We then went ahead and simulated a dual-core CPU (with Hyper Threading enabled) and while the game still maxed out all of the available 4 CPU threads, it was still running with 60fps. So yes, if you own a somehow older CPU you should not worry about the overall performance as you will be able to run the game with 60fps. However, this 100% CPU usage may introduce overheating issues.
We’ve informed KOEI Tecmo about this so hopefully the team will release a patch that will address this issue (from the looks of it this is a bug as it makes no sense for this fighting game to be maxing out all of the available CPU threads).
Enjoy the following screenshots and stay tuned for our PC Performance Analysis!

Denuvo!!! most likely the culprit
Or miner maybe?
Nope, the game (or at least the review code) does not use Denuvo
You sure ? Koei didn’t used it on their titles but only the threekingdom game that no one cared and they even removed it from that i guess. Denuvo will be more expensive than their whole budget for the game lol.

No, a bunch of other Kekmo games had this problem too, Atelier Sophie and Blue Reflection off the top of my head.
A KOEI Tecmo game with optimisation issues? Surely not!
Will play it on one day and 3 hours from now! Add me on steam! I will beat you all

Final build runs perfectly fine.
It’s also since been cracked on the first day of release! ?
It looks so last gen and very plastic like/blurry. No way are the hw demands anywhere close to being legit.
Too much vaseline lol
Hmm, still… any way to pc users ask for ninja gaiden black or sigma ports to steam to team ninja, can DSO guys ask them this? At this point they should already know that we want those games but then why no sign of port? Come on Team Ninja.
They likely give you yaiba ninja Gaiden z..
No sigmas. They are games for men with no eggs
Sigma is garbage. Itagaki explicitly said he did not want Sigma to exist. But yes I absolutely have always agreed – we want all 3 (Razor’s Edge, not the original bad version of 3) on PC right now.
Though Sigma 1 graphics are pretty gorgeous:

I would be fine with Sigma 1 port too cause the graphics are very good the gameplay is most of time like NGB but a little more easy, but Sigma 2 is worse than NG2 in many ways!
Truth. When I say garbage it’s not HORRIBLE but the added content isn’t even worth playing. They literally just put in the same level again, between every level, except with Rachel and you go backwards through the level instead of forward. Her weapon and her moveset is terrible and her ninpo is terrible, which is funny because when Ryu uses her warhammer, it isn’t terrible.
I’d pay full price for Sigma on PC, make no mistake.

Didn’t they said they won’t release DoA for PC if people use nude mods for the last one ? people did, tons of nude mods were released for the last one.
Ya, turns out that KoeiTecmo likes money, more than keeping their word. Who knew, right? 😉
Developers like money more than the lack of nudemods, as money can actually speak.

The GTX 2080 TI is struggling in some screenshots. It look like they are using SSAA. Is there anyway to change the AA strength with a setting?
called it
Nah, final build runs fine.

why even bother?
Some of these graphics literally look lower fidelity than 5, which was a port of the 360 version. Impressive.
on max settings 1440p it will look much better!
Screenshots make it look like some indie developer, and very unimaginative 3D modelers and designers. This is laughable based on those screenshots.
Not surprising it’s KT

Bloody hell, what happened to DOA? It used to have impressive graphics, now it looks like a 360 game in 2019. Did all the engineers leave the company?

They decided to use the Dynasty Warrior engine. I guess the Tecmo side has finally started to merge with the KOEI side… And somehow the good tech from Tecmo is lost while the crappy tech from KOEI remains.
Why isn’t Momiji in the game? And why does Lisa always have an overly ridiculous mask?
For God’s sake, update that bench
Add me so i can beat you!!

Quality PC port right there!
Maybe it was an issue with the press copy you got. I’ve been playing it all morning and my CPU stays at 30-35%
