Milestone has released the next iteration of its MotoGP series, MotoGP 20. MotoGP 20 uses Unreal Engine 4 so it’s time to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.
For this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, GTX980Ti and GTX690. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce driver 445.87 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2 drivers. NVIDIA has not added any SLI profile for this game, meaning that our GTX690 performed similarly to a single GTX680.
Milestone has added a respectable amount of graphics settings. PC gamers can adjust the quality of anti-aliasing, textures, anisotropic filtering, shadows and reflections. There are also options for ambient occlusion, depth of field, motion blur, bloom, lens flares and particles effects.
In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. And, thankfully, MotoGP 20 does not require a powerful CPU for gaming at 100fps. As we can see, our simulated dual-core system (with Hyper Threading enabled) was more than enough to run the game.
MotoGP 20 does not also require a high-end GPU for gaming at 1080p or 1440p. With the exception of our NVIDIA GTX690, all of our other GPUs were able to run the game with 60fps at 1080p/Ultra settings.
At 2560×1440, our three most powerful GPUs were able to offer a smooth gaming experience on Ultra settings. As for 4K, the only GPU that was able to offer a constant 60fps experience was the RTX2080Ti.
Graphics wise, MotoGP 20 looks really dated. The lighting system is not that impressive and the stages all feel similar to what we got in the last couple versions of the MotoGP games. Thankfully, most of the bikers and bikes look great, and there are some cool raindrop effects. Still, MotoGP 20 will not impress anyone in 2020.
In conclusion, MotoGP 20 runs exceptionally well on the PC. PC gamers will not require a high-end PC system in order to enjoy it. We also did not experience any stuttering issues. Unfortunately, though, the game looks average-ish. Similarly to all yearly release, MotoGP 20 shares some graphical similarities with its predecessors. So yeah, make sure to temper your graphical expectations.

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

Picture 3 looks pretty real actually. Shame the rest of the game looks meh.
It’s thanks to the Bokeh DOF. When playing the actual game, there isn’t such filter and you can immediately notice all the visual/graphics issues/shortcomings.
Where are the benchmarks of your old i7? Please continue to include them in your analysis …. I believe that many people like to check how games run on old CPUs as well ….. THANKS
Graphics wise, MotoGP 20 looks really dated.
actually i think it’s just beautifull except some tracks that are pretty empty. For example barhein at night it’s awesome, as mugello or austin or red bull ring
The tracks surrounds need some attention, but everything else looks really good. This is especially true with the bikes, riders and the pavement.
I’m new to your benchmarks. And I cannot quite grasp the rationale behind such a selection of gpu. 2 unreachable titanium cards, a vega 64 (who has that?) a 690(??), and the rx580, that yes some people may have it, but it was a half disappointment even at its release.
How is that representative?
You want to compare generations? Then take more mainstream models like 1060, 970,770,… That much more people would probably own.
Not to mention your choice of cpu there, also quite elitist.
