Ascendant Studios has revealed some additional tech details about the PC version of Immortals of Aveum. And it appears that this Unreal Engine 5 title will push the PC hardware as its team suggests using an NVIDIA RTX2080 Super WITH DLSS 2 for Low/Medium Settings for gaming at 1080p/60fps.
These are the updated and final PC system requirements for Immortals of Aveum. And, as you can see, these PC requirements are WITH DLSS/FSR. In other words, an RTX2080 is unable to run the game, even on Low settings, with 60fps at native 1080p. Seriously, what the hell?
This reminds me of what happened with Remnant 2. When Remnant 2 launched, Gunfire Games was claiming that the game was developed with upscaling techniques in mind. Remnant 2 also used Unreal Engine 5 so this will be the second UE5 that will require upscaling techniques in order to provide an acceptable performance on PC.
Now I don’t want to be hasty and call it a mess. Immortals of Aveum may justify its requirements, and the game may run smoothly on numerous GPUs. However, the fact that Ascendant Studios has included DLSS/FSR in its final PC specs is at least alarming.
It’s also worth noting that the game will have options with each graphical setting accompanied by numbers indicating how much of your total GPU and CPU budget it will require. These numbers will update as you cycle between different levels of each setting. As a result, you’re able to see very quickly how different settings impact your budget.
Immortals of Aveum is a single-player magic FPS that is set in an original fantasy universe engulfed in magic, rife with conflict, and on the edge of the abyss. Players will experience this visceral and cinematic, story-driven game through the eyes of Jak. Jak will join an elite order of battlemages, master all three colors of magic – blue, green, and red – and decimate legions of enemies with clever chained attacks and well-timed counters.
EA will release Immortals of Aveum on August 22nd.
Stay tuned for more!

INB4:
1. Unoptimized and unplayable mess at launch
2. Dev “apologizes” and promises to “fix” it (when they already know that it’s broken, but released it anyway to nickel and dime the goymers)
3. Update that breaks the gayme even more
4. Many months if not years later, gayme is still an unoptimized and unplayable mess that struggles to even hit 4K/120+ FPS even with the RTX 7000, and modders hop in and do their job
I think that those PC specs for ray tracing effects being enabled.
Nanite and Lumen are simply insanely demanding (unoptimized) just by being enabled in a UE5 project’s settings. And from my testing in various UE5 titles if you force turn off those technologies then the entire game will look like total shxt. You can see in the Lumen example above (first video in the article) that there’s no proper fallback to baked lighting and instead the whole level turns into a black piece of shxt.
Here’s what the devs wrote in order to save themselves a couple of hours of development time, rofl.
https://www.ea.com/games/immortals-of-aveum/immortals-of-aveum/news/technologyHow this will look and run on the conslow knowing the equivalent gpu in term of performance is an rtx 2080
I think they are not optimizing for pc properly. So the system requirements are just cop out.
“our game cant run on reasonable hardware, so just crank the requisites up and call it optimization” -Immortals of aveum dev leader
dev leader? lol
Developer using DLSS as a crutch so that they don’t have to make much effort optimizing the game.

>Unreal Engine 5 is pushing hardware
>Ugliest female character I’ve ever seen in a game
The fvck is it pushing??
reflecting puddles and stinky back alleys with rats in them. The fur on the rat is so realistic.
Oh that was a rat? I swear it was one of those new 2023 SJW female character models.
But yeah those reflective puddles have been getting rather insane, feels like I’m back in Need For Speed Underground 2.
Gina Torres isn’t ugly, lol.
She is

Is Gina Torres the one on the left?
If you can’t Google her, I’m not gonna help.
PFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!
WITH THOSE GRAPHICS??!
FOR THAT GAME??!
ROFL WAT!!!
Daaaaayum! the state of the industry!
What the f*ck? rtx2080 1080p dlss!!! this crap can rot in hell. Buying this sh*t is obvious idiocy.
They started their own studio in 2018, and the first title they are going to release is the most generic shooter I have ever seen.
lol, why didn’t you just keep working for EA then. Useless.
I love how all of their system requirements use AI upscaling tech (DLSS and FSR) set to “quality” to hit the framerates they’re listing for the GPU’s at the resolutions they are listing… This is what NVIDIA has done to gaming…
I’m no fan of nvidia by any means, but you can’t really blame them for this. It’s the developers’ and publishers’ fault for using upscaling as a crutch instead of it being an optional framerate-enhancing feature. It’s sadly become part of this awful trend of not optimizing code, and until we vote strongly enough with our wallets, things will only get worse.
NVIDIA’s devs created the first AI upscaler for games, and NVIDIA’s marketing department pushed the tech as hard as they could for years. Now they’re pushing their fake AI generated frames tech even harder, and objecting to reviews that test GPU performance at native resolution instead of using DLSS and frame generation.
The situation we’re in right now is their fault. They pushed this tech as hard as they could, and now it’s in almost every modern game, so we’re seeing devs lean on it as a crutch since NVIDIA seems to be promoting the idea that this is how games should be played.
Hmm now that I think more about it after reading your comment, you’re not entirely wrong. It seems with the reveal of DLSS3 they’ve really been pushing DLSS hard in their promo materials. Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me if a big part of nvidia’s justification for the horrible pricing of the 4060 cards is because they think these GPUs having the ability to use DLSS3 is worth the extra hundred or so USD to the consumer lol
From what Gamers Nexus said the NVIDIA promo benchmarks for the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti were with DLSS3 frame generation on, which is why NVIDIA’s promo graphs show them doing so much better than the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti. They’re definitely trying to sell the cards based on the frame generation tech since they know the RTX 4060 Ti can’t compete with the RTX 3060 Ti at native resolution without fake frames.
Yeah I remember those charts now. Utterly ridiculous.
Nvidia couldn’t be any happier because the majority of gamers will be forced to upgrade to at least RTX 4000 series in a year’s time when every developer starts releasing their UE5 titles with the same hardware requirements.
“THE MORE YOU BUY, THE MORE YOU SAVE”
Ceo of invidia.
Generic looking game has sh**ty optimization thus sh**ty pc requirements. Nothing new.
this is what i said to ,so why the downgragde?
What? No I didn’t
you downvoted be for saying the same thing as you
Where?
above
“we made a game for a tiny portion of rich millennial woke cringelords with a ton of money and no sense”
forcrapen all over again.
Most of those millennials I’m sure are too busy making the world economy run to even play this poor peasant of a title and using any little time to play BG3.
millennials dont make the economy run, they still live with their parents.
Unreal how Unreal engine 5 sucks.
New Worldwide TREND =
F*K UNREAL ENGINE !!!!!!!!!!!
Something tells me, unreal engine 5 is hot pile of garbage.
Usually I do not read article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you, very nice article.
