So here is something really interesting. This weekend, I’ve decided to give Forspoken a go. However, I came to realize that its built-in benchmark does not represent the actual in-game performance. And, as the title suggests, NVIDIA’s most powerful GPU is simply unable to offer smooth framerates at native 4K/Max Settings, even without Ray Tracing.
For capturing the following video and screenshots, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and NVIDIA’s RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 531.26. It’s also worth noting that we installed the game on a Samsung 980 Pro SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0. Here are also the graphics settings we used.
As we’ve reported in our PC Performance Analysis, the benchmark can drop at 69fps at 4K/Max Settings/No RT. In reality, though, the framerate can drop to the 50s. This happens once you start exploring the game’s open-world area, Junoon. With Ray Tracing, performance can even drop to the 40s. Ouch.
The only way we could keep framerates higher than 60fps was with DLSS 2 or FSR 2.0. By using DLSS 2 Quality, we were able to get a minimum of 74fps during the first enemy fights.
Now what’s really important to note is that we’re not talking about significant performance drops below 60fps. And that’s at the starting area. I’m pretty sure that later stages can be even more demanding than this, especially during hectic fights. It’s also important to note that the built-in benchmark is not representative of the game’s actual performance.
Funny thing is that these performance figures are after applying the latest PC performance patch. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming the RTX4090 here. The RTX4090 is a beast. Nevertheless, and since I’ve re-tested the game, it was worth mentioning it!

Just forget this game even happened.
Maybe need pink fingernail upgrade to run this shitload of a game at 4k 60
I bet there’s one setting in the graphics options that’s responsible for the poor performance. I know you have the 4090 but badly optimized games just have this stupid unoptimized graphic option that absolutely tanks the performance. Maybe try to find that out first before using DLSS.
Yup ….. You have to learn how to optimize a game yourself because there is always one or two settings that kill performance with very little change in quality for that loss ….. Volumetric Clouds is often a main offender
Even if the built-in benchmark isn’t real accurate it can still be useful to find offending graphics options or figure what kind of percentage losses each setting has. Hardware Unboxed has done that a few times for games and you see some settings like texture quality make very little difference from low to high or extreme and some make a huge difference with very little difference in quality. The developers should be doing that just so they can figure out exactly what needs to be optimized but it doesn’t seem like any of them do
No wonder people buying a new PC seem to do little more than showing off their RGB fishtanks online.
Imagine buying a $1,000 GPU and having to show off the Forspoken stutterfest. Hopefully the PC market keeps crashing, and we get a reset, because it is currently a joke.
Embarrassing.
more like $2000
PS5 ran it with zero issue. Ran like f*king butter. Think that’s the expression
PS5 runs at either 40 fps (LOL) or 60 fps (“performance mode” snort). Personally, I class anything under 100 fps as “not smooth”.

It’s all games, like movies etc who has all the money to start these things? And that image is misleading there are cryptos of all ethnicities, in all religions and all govs. Itsvan Bakony has a whole series about this invisible to most army, marranos/cryptos. Cecil Roth one of their own has a book about it, etc M. Pinay has a huge book about it as well. The marxist themes in just RDR2 are so out of place and typical false history as to be so gag. Trannyism is a talmudic/kabbalistic tradition as well and their thralls the masons, royalty etc are practitioners at the higher levels.
Game has šhit optimization, Jews to blame, got it.
Oh hey, it’s that koshervative again! I love how you pathetic hypocrite who “claims to be against pedophilia!” And bashes Islam allegedly for it yet defends the most barbaric pedophilic Satanic cult of death and terrorism that is Judaism, the filthy Talmud LITERALLY says it’s okay to have s3x with THREE YEAR OLD girls.
Here you go, pedophilic goy hypocrite:
Ketubot 11b: “Rava said that this is what the mishna is saying: An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye.”
Sorry to see that you failed to make it in life. A shame indeed.
Dawww, did my comment trigger you so much, triggered k1ke snowflake? And of course, replying then blocking like the k1ke coward you are. You are so pathetic that you seriously thought that blocking me won’t make me see your triggered comment LOL!
Here you go, the TRUE FACE of k1kes that you love and defend so much as written in their filthy Satanic Talmud:
Ketubot 11b: “Rava said that this is what the mishna is saying: An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye.”
Heads-up: This (((POS gayme))) got MASSIVE downgrade from the 2020 trailer when it was still called Project Athia, back then it at least looked like a current-gen game, but now it doesn’t even look like a decent PS3 game.
Just copy and paste the following video’s name and you’ll see the MASSIVE downgrade:

Likely because the 4090 is allergic to woke, cancerous garbage.
Literally NOTHING woke about the game. You’re just a racist.
Confirmed. Already on my block list for a reason.
100%
He’s 100% a racist trump supporter
Mommy not letting you suckle at her magat teet?
Thats good then. Luckily I dont have 4090ti!
Even nvidia doesnt want to run that garbage. It’s basically a hard nope.
So basically Luminous Studio has been Forspoken once and for all lol
I’ll never understand how this performance degradation over the years is acceptable. I was getting that kind of performance with a 10gb 3080 in FF15 with nvidia features turned on. That game is on the same engine and looks almost as good if not better than this trash, yet a 4090 that’s like 80-100% stronger is getting the same performance. Performance tax over time is insane while visuals have barely budged in the last 8 years.
Poor resources utilization, on consoles they got 10+gigs ,they could toy with it however they pleased, but there’s no telling how smart and experienced of them to make that much of a difference, take all that and stretch it from 5 to 8 years work , yes , there’s no telling how good and smart they are, given all the resources they got from the get-go.
remember Anthem ? This one is even worse
Unfortunately I don’t remember Anthem, but I do remember its amazing live service.
Trash game has bad optimization… No Fs given. I pity anyone who actually wants to play it.
Played it and loved it
I played the crap out of it and loved it
And people say the 4090 is a waste for anything less than 4k.
This woke trash is poorly optimized, normal games run fine
6090 will run this easy
This is why I won’t spend $1,600 on a gpu.
I can tell more even RTX 5090 Ti will not run this game with those settings in stable 60 fps!
I still plan on buying it. I currently have a 4090, but by the time I actually buy it I think I’ll be on a 6090 so hopefully it’ll brute force it by then lol
Tremenda kgada de juego.
No. It’s not that the card can’t run it.
It’s that the game can’t run at that speed even on that card.
There’s a difference in how you present it.
I suspect a lot of this not able to run native 4k/60 is just either bad optimization or some X factor Nvidia has paid for to gimp it, thus DLSS2 and FrameGen and higher spec/cost cards are needed. The fake competition game has been played for a long time and the various gpu manufs are playing it. The games are heavily subsidized by these hardware makers. The jewmasonic satanists have operated this way for centuries, no different now or in this industry. Snake Oil world.
Not true at all. You enjoy the bandwagon, I’ll enjoy the game
John upgraded his eternal 9900K to AMD trash?
Why not a proper, real CPU like 13900K/S
More like a real space heater ….. It’s one of the most inefficient CPUs made in decades and would gain you maybe an unnoticeable 1 or 2 FPS over a 7950X3D at the cost of using over twice as much power ….. Or it would lose outright if it’s a cache sensitive game
twice the power is being too generous.
It’s funny how the right wing trash has latched onto this because the protagonist is a black woman, let’s face reality… Plenty of games have been released poorly optimized for pc but never received this level of vitriol, remember if you are not woke, you’re a sleeping sheep, maga “bros”….
She’s black?
shut the f#ck up
You first
Views of a person who is definitely from Cali! The cesspit state of this country!
Not from your cesspit country at all thank the f*k
4090 chose not to play it at 4k/60 “this game is beneath me”
I’ll be the voice of dissent here. Game is amazing. PC gaming sounds like a f*king headache. But, do you boo boo
Wasn’t this one of the AMD sponsored titles?
Who even wants to play this crap?
Since when high end cards solved new tech problems? It’s still new ,it’s expensive but takes time to solve it.
Why you have motion blur and depth of field on? Noob settings
Was planning on playing it this weekend. The demo ran like butter for me properly tuned to a 3080 ti at 1440p with a lowly 8700k. I was impressed. Hopefully vrr can lessen the pain of the framerate dips.
No problem here at all?

Devs try less and less to optimize games in hope that better hardware can keep up. This is one such symptom
I hate titles like this. It’s not the beast 4090s fault that this game was polished with a piece of sh*t. Even after several updates, it’s optimized embarrassingly. Honestly I love PC gaming despite its flaws but all the people acting like this is new, really haven’t been PC gaming long. Optimization on new games and cross-platforming optimization of games from console has been a joke on PC since, well 2010 or so. It’s kind of a rule of thumb. You got to wait at least one to six months of updates after a game drops on pc, before it starts working properly. PC gamers have been the testers of pc games for over a decade.
