Saber Interactive has just released Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Powered by Unreal Engine 5.6.1.0, it’s time to benchmark it and examine its performance on PC.
For our benchmarks, I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, RX 9070XT, as well as NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit, as well as the GeForce 617.14 and the Radeon Adrenalin Edition 26.9.2 drivers.
Saber Interactive has added a respectable number of graphics settings to tweak. PC gamers can adjust the quality of View Distance, Shadows, Textures, Global Illumination, Reflections, and more. The game also supports NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 3.0, and Intel XeSS 2.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival does not have a built-in benchmark tool. So, for our benchmarks, I used this scene. This appeared to be one of the most demanding you can find in the first hour of the game. As such, it should give us a pretty good idea of how the rest of it runs.
All of our GPUs can run this game at 60 FPS at 1080p with Epic settings. Yes, even our old NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti can hit 60 FPS. I am very impressed with what the dev team has done here. The game uses Lumen, yet it still runs very well on a wide range of GPUs. That is great to see.
At 1440p with Epic settings, our top five GPUs ran the game at over 60 FPS at all times. At native 4K with Epic settings, only the NVIDIA RTX 5090 stayed above 60 FPS at all times. The NVIDIA RTX 4090 also did well, with an average of 65 FPS. However, its frame rate could drop to 57 FPS. So, you would need a G-Sync monitor for a completely smooth experience.
Graphics-wise, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival looks great. The game has an amazing art style, and it does not suffer from any major visual issues. Honestly, this game shows what small teams can achieve with Unreal Engine 5. The game punches above its weight. Thanks to Lumen, it looks consistently great, even when you are in shadowy places.
All in all, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is one of the most optimized PC games of 2026. It runs well on a wide range of GPUs, and you do not need a high-end PC to enjoy it. It also supports all major PC upscalers, and it looks great. My only issue is a few traversal stutters that can occur here and there. Thankfully, they are not as bad as in some other Unreal Engine 5 games. Still, most players will notice them. Aside from these stutters, this is one of the most polished PC games of 2026!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
