Bandai Namco has just released Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon on PC. Since the publisher has not provided us with a review code, we won’t have a day-1 PC Performance Analysis. However, we can at least share our initial PC performance impressions, so keep reading to find out how this mecha game runs on an NVIDIA RTX 4090.
For our 4K tests, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and NVIDIA’s RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce 536.99 driver. Furthermore, we’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.
As the title implies, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can run Armored Core 6 with 120fps at 4K on Maximum Settings. Not only that, but we did not experience any stutters during the game’s first two missions. Everything appears to be silky smooth, so kudos to FromSoftware.
Moreover, Armored Core 6 works wonderfully with K&M. The game displays proper K&M on-screen prompts, and it does not suffer from any mouse smoothing/acceleration issues.
Now as we’ve already mentioned, the game only supports Ray Tracing in the garage. During missions, there aren’t any Ray Tracing effects. I don’t know if modders will be able to unlock RT like they did with Forza Horizon 5. Furthermore, the game does not support any PC upscaling techniques. That’s a bummer as it would definitely benefit Intel XeSS, NVIDIA DLSS 2, and AMD FSR 2.0. Let’s not forget that DLSS 2 (and XeSS) can sometimes provide a better image quality than TAA.
In short, we are pleasantly surprised by the performance of Armored Core 6 on PC. Although it does not push the graphical boundaries of PC games, it’s at least pleasing to the eye and runs with high framerates. This is also the first FromSoftware game that supports 120fps, and everything appears to be working as intended.
Our PC Performance Analysis, in which we’ll benchmark the game on numerous AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, will most likely go live this weekend. Until then, enjoy the following 4K video!

Nvidia won
Unreal5 lost
An optimized game from from software? This is dystopic
The PC market has been a big money-maker for them ever since they first ported Dark Souls to PC, so it’s definitely in their interest to further improve the quality of their ports. Also, it’s a cross-generation title so naturally it’ll run better than games that are exclusive to the current generation. What’s really nice is that they increased the FPS cap to 120 and have implemented good mouse and keyboard controls. Here’s hoping they add support for upscaling tech in the future.
off topic :
The third act of BG3 is buggy as hell. It’s dos2 all over again.
Who dafuq cares about this incel cräp?
Me, I love it.
Fromsoft finally understood pc gamers
Looks repetitive and boring, why would they make something like this?
Do you always have garbage takes?
You’re triggered over the fact that I insulted your favorite game, that does not equate to me having garbage takes.
“Moreover, Armored Core 6 works wonderfully with K&M. The game displays proper K&M on-screen prompts, and it does not suffer from any mouse smoothing/acceleration issues.”
I was looking for that information for some time and of course idiots from PC GAMER site didn’t even mention that in their fake PC version review.
PC gamer has been a joke after the late 90’s.
I would say early 2010s but it amounts to the same thing. People have to be careful with what they read there. They have a Politically Correct agenda and it creeps into their articles. They also censor commenters more than any other site that I have ever seen.
Why are they, by far, the most popular PC gaming site? Well, all that I can say is to take a look at the state of the average PC gamer these days. They are quite content to being spoon fed sh*t from Publishers/Developers/Mainstream Media and just keep coming back for more abuse.
I just noticed slight changes in early 2000’s as if something was slowing turning the mag into dog shat
“Why are they, by far, the most popular PC gaming site? Well, all that I can say is to take a look at the state of the average PC gamer these days.” Pretty much, an average brain dead normie would go there just because of its name.
Not to mention, that cunning and deceptive site has a history of shadowbanning commenters and also publishing articles glorifying political correctness then at the same time locking the comment section, what pussies! Where is the “free speech” that they claim to believe in? If you are shoving these Satanic degeneracies on your reader’s face, then you should also expect sane people to not agree with your brain dead, fussy and hypocritical Jewish narrative. But no! They want it to be an echo chamber for brain dead normies to come to their site and support them with their gorillion ton of ads, as if the they didn’t already have a $h!tty UI and layout and a GODAWFUL news section layout. OH! And let’s not forget their site-sponsored scams like when they published an article shilling for a VR device from an untrusted Chinese company called Pimax that no one even heard of that only released products to terrible reviews, NicheGamer even published an article back then and exposed PCGaymer about their shilling for this VR device.
EDIT: And speaking of NicheGamer, they recently (August 2023) hired a journalist going by the moniker “Primal” that writes nice articles that remind me of the good old days of One Angry Gamer, I just hope they remove the stupid comment section paywall and reinstate the comment section for free again.
Hell, they shadow-banned me years ago for commenting that their site had really gone downhill which it obviously had at the time and it’s even worse now.
I was one of their most loyal readers. I looked forward every month to getting their magazine back in the 1990s and going to their website in the 2000s. Their forums, back when they had them, were great. But…..no more. They are a failure to PC gamers now.
That paywall is stupid.
I find it hilarious that people pay to post on a site that removes your comments and bans you on a whim if you don’t play suck-up to these pedobeard developers like they do.
I got banned for pointing out that the reviewer should not brag about having to use cheats to beat Sekiro.
I would say late 2000s
Watched a stream, and I was bored to tears after watching 10 minutes of non-stop repetitive shooting and dodging in bland environments. I noticed the streamer was not having much fun either.
The back-end mechanics of this game seem quite similar to Elden Ring. I still have no idea what some people see in FromSoftware games, if any other studio had made this it would get a 5/10 instead of the 7/10 and 8/10 scores it is getting now.
I’ll take any $5 indie game over these type of repetitive FromSoftware grindfests.
Hence why you play the game yourself, wathcing stream are like watching your friend playing games and you drooling waiting for your turn like when you are a kid (80s-90s kid, btw), Im trully unable to enjoy watching stream of a game because it will just remind me of that day when Im waiting forever for my friends finished their turn. Japanese games and grinding are way more preferable for me(as long as it have good gameplay loop) than movie pretend to be a game western devs usually made with their walking sims BS that barely contain any gameplay and challenge.
Why are you so stupid?
I tuned into a stream that was supposed to be playing this game and they were playing Sonic 06 instead. Really says a lot.
John, what about 8K performance?
Literally nobody plays in 8k
Game is not pretty.
Then again, you can have something like Elden Ring, ugly, laggy and never fixed.
Can tell you’ve never played elden ring. Literally one of the best looking games ever made and it runs flawlessly
I really don’t care if the most expensive card can run this at whatever settings. Who is this relevant to ? How does a 3060 a 2060 run it
I think the most used card on Steam is a 1660.
A ps4 game..
The same (or worse) shitshow they did in Dark Souls 3,2,1
Dark souls 1,2, and 3 all ran flawlessly from day 1 on my pc
Lol really? Ds1 was like 480p with no graphic options
DS1 Locked at 720p30 as far as I remember, except if you apply the mod (though there is still some jank occur even with the mod), DS 2 and DS3 I heard they hire the guy from the mod maker for consultation on PC port , Cmiiw
Work and properly display K&M, more than 60fps supported and achievable on mid range HW,no shaders compilation stuttering…
Good job fromsoft and keep at it
Oh no, first Baldur’s Gate 3 now this, how will shill AAA developers ever explain all these free customizations?

Nice that your 4090 is finally doing what it should for all that money you paid.
Sound jelly.
“Furthermore, the game does not support any PC upscaling techniques. That’s a bummer as it would definitely benefit Intel XeSS, NVIDIA DLSS 2, and AMD FSR 2.0. Let’s not forget that DLSS 2 (and XeSS) can sometimes provide a better image quality than TAA.”
A PC dedicated site and the editor in chief talks like a real console tard.
Fück off with this upscaling shït, mate. If you card can’t handle 4k@60fps there won’t have a miracle making it sudenly powerful enough to handle it. Masking your numbers to please your disease is not the answer.
Now time to find the precious seed and test this thing. Hope I can disable much of that horrible UI.
Fromsoft doesn’t play with fake frames. They are real game devs.
