Deep Silver has just released Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on PC. Powered by CRYENGINE, this new first-person RPG is a game that a lot of PC gamers have been waiting for. So, can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run it smoothly at Native 4K? Let’s find out.
For these initial tests, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz and an NVIDIA RTX 5090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 57216 driver. Moreover, we’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D. That’s the ideal thing you can do for gaming on this particular CPU.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 does not have any built-in benchmark tool. So, for our tests, we used the first open-world area (right after the Prologue Mission). This area was more demanding than the Prologue. So, it should give us a pretty good idea of how the rest of the game runs.
Although Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 supports NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, it does not have any support for Frame Gen. This is a bummer as the game would benefit from it, especially in towns where there are a lot of NPCs. Still, the good news for RTX50 series owners is that NVIDIA has already added a game profile for it in the NVIDIA App. And yes, you can enable Smooth Motion for it.
At Native 4K with Max Settings (which are called Experimental), the NVIDIA RTX 5090 is able to run the game with over 65FPS at all times. The Prologue ran with over 90FPS. However, the open-world area was averaging at 75FPS (with a minimum of 65FPS). With 4K DLSS Quality, we were able to get close to 100FPS.
As you will see, at 100FPS, our AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D was used to its fullest. All of our CPU cores/threads were maxed out. And that’s why I say this game would benefit from Frame Gen. Older CPUs may have major issues running it with 60FPS at Experimental Settings. Yes, you can lower the settings but Frame Gen would be a perfect feature to have for these cases.
Anyway, we’ll talk more about the game’s performance in our upcoming PC Performance Analysis. At first glance, the game did not seem to suffer from any stutters. So, this is certainly good news for everyone.
I’m currently uploading a video with the first ten minutes. Naturally, it has all the metrics you’d expect. Thus, it will give you an idea of the game’s performance. I’ll be sure to add it to the article once it’s finished. I’ll also test Smooth Motion to see how it feels in this game. So, expect an update really soon.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
So I’ve tried Smooth Motion and this is a must for those with high-end GPUs. Right now, only the RTX50 series GPUs support it, but it will also work on the RTX40 series GPUs in the future. So, it will be interesting to see whether or not Warhorse will add support for DLSS 3 FG until then.
With Smooth Motion, KCD2 ran with over 120FPS at Native 4K with Experimental Settings on the RTX 5090. However, during quick mouse movements, I could spot some annoying artifacts with the crosshair. The good news is that you can greatly reduce them by dropping DLSS to Quality Mode. And, in my opinion, that’s the best way to play the game right now. Not only do you get to play at 160+FPS, but there are no major visual artifacts. Plus, I could not spot any major input latency issues.

Congratulations John, you can sleep well tonight.
Thanks for sharing this important news with us.
For those delusional enough to think it's a Christian game. It's a Jewish one full of subversion, with the same lies as always. Persecuted Jews who did nothing, yet magically got kicked out of over 100 countries for the same reasons thousands of miles apart by multiple ethnic backgrounds who didn't communicate with each other. Vavra also has attacked Christians as "destroying the culture" of his country. Maybe he would like to talk about the Crimean slave trade and who engaged in that. It was his people, not the people he pretends to be. That is what the Jewish culture helped bring to his country. Enslavement and trafficking it's children. Now they are the name who destroy the family unit with endless LBGTBBQ propaganda. They are the media like "Jon Stewart" who hides that Jews were just given minority status as financial aid with Trump also forming anti-semitism tasks force to protect them while they steal money as the richest religious demographic on the in the US.

I think your point about that guy is irrelevant; a Jew can make a game about Buddhism just as a Muslim can write a book about Moses, or a Christian movie director can make a movie about Muhammad. However, I'm upvoting your comment because of the part in quotes:
" Persecuted Jews who did nothing, yet magically got kicked out of over 100 countries for the same reasons thousands of miles apart by multiple ethnic backgrounds who didn't communicate with each other."
This reminded me: I was using Deepseek and Qwen the other day, and I asked, "Can you tell me what happened in Tiananmen Square?" Both replied that they're only language models and couldn’t help me. This exact response is what ChatGPT and Gemini give you when you ask why Jews were expelled from so many countries for the same reason. They give you this response when you ask why htler had diverse SS units if he was racist. They also give you the same response when you ask about htler's motives or what was happening in Germany at the time. What got the Brits so worked up, and what made Americans enter the war despite initially trying not to get involved?
We truly don't have freedom of speech, no country on Earth would make a language model that isn't full of censorship, made-up history and other cr4p that serves their national interest.
Well said, and agree 100%
Even AI's have to follow one of the basics of computing
GIGO – Garbage In Garbage Out
As soon as I heard that AI's were being trained by scraping Reddit, X and Facebook I knew they were going to be junk. You should be training them by scraping all the University libraries and other REAL knowledge repositories not anti-social media which is mostly Propaganda, misinformation, disinformation and out right lies
You're wrong. Below is a screen capture of ChatGPT responding to your question.
Hitler's "diversity" doesn't prove that he wasn't a genocidal anti-Semite; Hitler wished that Germany had been like Imperial Japan, ready to die for the emperor, or at least Islamic. (He allied with Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who recruited a Muslim SS division in the Balkans.) And he believed in a superior "Aryan" race.
The Nazis declared Aryans superior to all others. Slavs, Roma, and Jews were defined as racially inferior, non-Aryan "Untermenschen" and a danger to the Aryan/Germanic master race. Slavs were to be removed from Central Europe through expulsion, enslavement, starvation, and extermination.
And there was the Holocaust.
Don't be such an anti-Semite.

Notice how it doesn’t address the question. It’s a prepared statement that doesn’t address the main point. If you keep questioning it, it’s going to give the same PR answers.
Yeah, a lot of evil people hated Jews because Jews are great, but why for the same reason? If you can get an answer from ChatGPT, I’ll convert to whatever religion you want me to.
As for Germans being superior, that’s just a fact.
Nice try, Juan.
By the way Juan, you never answered my question

Look, two athiest countries (if you don't count Russia), two Islamic countries, one paj33t country.
Where are South American sh*tholes in any of these lists? Are you too busy worshipping some dead sand n*gger fraud?
That reason is called natSh1tsm, Bruce. Not exclusive to whites, but certainly most common in them, rooted in deep jealousy and low IQ.
Wow, didn't know Vrabra was so based. He's 1000% right, chr1stardanity is a kuck religion that is not compatible with the violent nature of white men.
Thankfully it is nowadays, at least in Europe (true whites), a vestige of a really dark age.

when did daniel cave for these people and become a little b*tch.
you are sick as hell
You probably follow insanity like scr3wing 3 years olds that you are taught at Ishut 3 verse 11 on a site like Chabad. THAT is why Jews got kicked out of over 100 countries. Child abuse, human trafficking and murder like Simon of Trent because Kabbalah is was and will always just be a fancy way of saying the occult.
Jesus called you the synagogue of Satan for a reason.
Cool story JIDF. Ishut 3 verse 11 on your Chabad website says hi. So does Simon of Trent. They got kicked out of over 100 countries for good reason. They went from poisoning Christian wells to poisoning Palestinian wells.
"NVIDIA RTX 5090 runs Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with over 60FPS at Native 4K/Max Settings"
In the menu.
Have u guys seen Daniel VraVra has completely sh4t on his fanbase? Haha.
The anti-wokies are having a meltdown over this one.
Turns out Henry is canon gay and a BOTTOM! AHAHAHAHAHAH.
Thank u, mr. VraVra, LGBTQIA+ representation in gaming is of the utmost importan, f0ck the triggered snowflakes that don't like it.
Long live K1nkd0m Coom Deliverwoke 2!!!
Now if u guys excuse me, I'm gonna get Henry's azz blown out by a handsome muslim traveler!
now take your pill and relax
I can’t tell if he’s a deeply dedicated troll or just a gay.
I'm 100% straight.
On a technicality because you….identify as female?
CIS male.
Don't reply to bad bait, not worth the effort lad.
How do you antiwoke snowflakes say it:
"GET WOKE, GO BRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBR". AHAHAHA!!!111

Like Vailguard was a "return to form" and "9/10"? You really are the perfect demographic for those retarded outlets.
"Look Ma, I owned the Chuds online because some company who doesn´t give a f*k about me appeases my political alignment."
Consider ending it son. You´ll never be a real woman and they will use your deadname as inscription
that's all you can get out of a $2,000 GPU?
+575W of power draw?
It's a travesty, my whole system with 5700X+RTX2070S eats 360-400W at most under load which is equivalent to 5080.
The power consumption of these Nvidia cards these past three generations is abysmal.
John cap the game at 60fps and use Losless Scaling x2 . With my RTX 4090 im getting extreme smooth gameplay on Experimental settings and a 120 fps on my 240Hz.
I got my RTX5090 in today and enabled Smooth Motion but it didnt feel so smooth as witg Lossless Scaling. I capped the game through Nvidia Driver 60fps and choose x2 getting 120fps it was exact the same smoothness and fluid gameplay as with my last Flagship card the RTX4090.
Lossless Scaling with this game is a must.
I made it past the prologue and im checking the game for more heavy areas.
It's shows the state of the industry when we have articles touting that the newest flagship TWO thousand dollar GPU, can run a recently released game at 4K/60 max settings, as if that's something to celebrate.
This thing should be running games two or three years from now at 4K/60 max settings, without the need for "AI" garbage.
Still, the lad wants to run the game in 720p with all of those fake resolution tools, while showing 8K@879fps on the screen.
PC gamers have become so stvpid, that I can't even!
meanwhile …..
RTX 5090 are dying after Nvidia's new update..
Good luck with those MultiFrame Generation..
https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/rtx-5090-issues
At the very least this game demonstrates that the newer generation of CryEngine has become quite scalable, to the point that even the Steam Deck is capable of running this game, especially so with the in-development SteamOS 3.7 iteration which is shaping up to become a nice upgrade overall.
Game is already banned in the middle-east.
Disappointing for me running on the cry engine my opinion the 5090 should barely hold 30fps in experimental.
just shows rather than amp it up like the first one which was also downgraded from the beta shows the visuals target the garbage consoles.
saying that first one is great and the second one should be even better even though I hear there is a bit of pandering crept into it.

Hey this is not exactly the "Deliverance" I expected! 🤣💦
Yeah but the real question is, "do I really want to see gay scenes in 4K?" 🤔

Not only 4k but at MAX settings and 60fps action!!!
Im so tired of seeing that, gut punch every time. F*ck I hate modernity.
this man has no idea of what he is saying or how to review
what the perf difference between ultra and expiremental ? because the difference of perf numbers between yours at expiremental and techpowerup at ultra are huge
the game is running miles better than kc1 and the optimisation seems waaay better
an how can you suggest to use smooth motion before suggesting to use dlss quality ?
Different scenes can result in different results. We are using one of the most demanding scenes in the game. So, I guess you have no idea about game benchmarks (I suggest looking up in the sky, you’ll get better results that way /sarcasm).
Also, you must be an idiot. Because I specifically said that it’s best to use Smooth Motion WITH DLSS Quality. This combo gives the best results in terms of both performance and visuals.
you are still the idiot because you suggested to use smooth motion first and if you use the dlss quality you wont need the smooth gen
and maybe you should explore side because the difference is huge maybe you have some cou bottleneck , and i say maybe because i have i m not sure but you should investigate this path also
Dude, there is a whole video in which the GPU is used at 98%. There is no CPU bottleneck. Make yourself a favor and watch it.
If you benchmark the Prologue, you'll get 100FPS. If you benchmark the later open-world area, you'll get 70FPS. It's that simple.
will do (y)
Is that all?
