Overkill’s The Walking Dead has just been released and we gave it a go with our NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti. And it appears that NVIDIA’s latest high-end graphics card can run the game with 60fps on Ultra settings in native 4K resolution (3840×2160).
This is good news as we’ve seen titles in which the RTX2080Ti was unable to offer a smooth gaming experience in 4K on max settings. Not only that, but Overkill’s The Walking Dead actually looks great. In fact, in some cases it can look even impressive. This is something that really surprised us as its official screenshots did not look as good as what we’re witnessing in the final build.
In order to initially test this game we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 16GB RAM, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers (416.34). We’ve also lowered Anti-Aliasing to Low (as there is no point using Ultra AA in 4K). We also run the game in Borderless Window as we could not enable 4K in fullscreen mode on our 1080p monitor via DSR (this is something that Overkill will have to fix).
We did notice some drops below 60fps (there was one particular scene in which our framerate dropped to 52fps but apart from that, we averaged between 56fps and 72fps).
Below you can find some 4K from the game and as always we’ve kept MSI Afterburner enabled (so that you can get an idea of the game’s performance on the RTX2080Ti).
We’ll be posting these initial 4K impressions in every new triple-A title. Our PC Performance Analysis for Overkill’s The Walking Dead will go live later this week so stay tuned for more. Until then, enjoy the following screenshots!

Yea…but the games sucks
A piece of sh*t in 4K, is still a piece of sh*t no matter what resolution you use to look at it.
This game was a massive let down in terms of what it could have been versus what it actually was.
Looks awful to me as well.
Valve should just remake L4D2 like they did CS. Compared to this it would run 10 times better whilst looking better & playing better.
Lol.
Who cares if the card can run this title in 4K ?? Most of the gamers are least bothered about this game, and it isn’t very demanding on the PC as well, based on the engine used.
Amazing graphics, cryengine?
Nah ! The game uses ‘Telltale Tool’ as the proprietary game engine, no way it was made in CryEngine.
I am asking because it reminds me of homefront and ghost warrior 3
Homefront’s graphics aren’t amazing though???
Unreal Engine
wouldn’t go as far as amazing, but certainly not as bad as some have made out it to be.
This
until it dies after a month
Shhhh…Hush…Nvidia defenders/fanboys are going to bash you soon though, lol.
Sigh John.. guys please use 1440p for 60fps with this game, I have 2080 ti too, this card can BARELY run this at 60FPS!!!
John stop lying
Barely running 60fps is still 60fps you dumbass.
his point is that it cant maintain 60 fps…
Mac/Worthabuy calls it true once more in his own inimitable manner. Guaranteed to be vastly more entertaining that the game itself!
Based on how the game looks, even a GTX 1060 should be able to run this game at 60fps 4K Max.
The double whammy. If you’re dumb enough to buy a 2080 Ti, then surely, you are dumb enough to buy, and probably even like, this turd of a game.
Like peanut butter and jelly, they go hand in hand.
If I earned very good money and had £1200 spare, I’d buy one.
Most powerful GPU on planet currently, and best one to achieve 4k gaming.
However, I’m not and the pricing is insane on these RTX cards and there’s no DLSS or ray tracing support to be seen.
If I had money and simply didn’t care about DLSS or ray tracing, I’d buy it just to get best frame rates and settings.
I can honestly say, anyone else, who’s not earning good money, should hold off and wait to see how these features are supported, and wait for next gen of cards.
“NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti can run Overkill’s The Walking Dead with 60fps on Ultra settings in native 4K”
1. lowered Anti-Aliasing to Low
2. 1080p monitor via DSR
3. We did notice some drops below 60fps (there was one particular scene in which our framerate dropped to 52fps but apart from that, we averaged between 56fps and 72fps).
Clickbait at its finest.
+1.
1800mhz lmao.
Are we supposed to be impressed by that or what?
LOL you know nothing about me so shut the hell up, loser.
