As I’ve said multiple times, Quantum Break is one of the best looking games to the PC. When it came out, Remedy’s title trashed every high-end GPU available to the market. However, it appears that we can finally run the game with constant 60fps in 4K/Ultra.
In order to achieve this, Bang4BuckPC Gamer used an NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090. Bang4BuckPC Gamer also used the Steam/DX11 version of Quantum Break, which runs faster than the Windows Store version.
As we can see below, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 was able to push a constant 60fps experience. During firefights, there were some drops to 63fps, however, the framerate was always above 60fps. Since there were drops to 63fps, we can assume that the RTX3080 will drop below 60fps in 4K/Ultra.
In other words, the only GPU that is able to offer a locked 60fps experience in 4K/Ultra is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 GPU. However, owners of the RTX3080 will also be able to enjoy this game via some custom 4K resolutions (like 3328×1872).
Lastly, this video proves that Remedy was right when it stated that Control would be better optimized than Quantum Break.
Enjoy!

Excellent!
and if this was the Windows Store DX12 version then it would still not be doing 60 fps. the game has garbage optimization and really never looked all that great.
What an ugly looking game, shame that nothing even comes close to it!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e5b8e793999e870196d722c033a8f8220f2f8a33e2b60d71101703dc9dea798.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/35e122477afe2ee3a971dc9c16f9db42000d0889041833ebbd61ac01133701c5.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c52e704fd5b123072b96a3bc58b1089cdcb07f7ec835aeff45322cba209e697.jpg
Yeah the game lookes crap and john says it’s one of the best looking ones!!
Best looking game on PC ? Really ? Even Crysis 3 looks better then this abomination
This game was miles better than Control.
With combat and animations so slow and delayed in Quantum Brake you could almost mistake it for a turn-based game
True, i was not impressed with Control’s Maps, they are bette at making linear games.
I agree and Control is a very very very boring and very linear game. I couldn’t get into Control at all.I have tried multiple times to get into it but i always find myself closing the game and going to something else within an hour lol
Great game, horrendously unoptimized.
DX11 is the main reason the majority of these games from 2015 onwards suffered in anything beyond 1080p. DX12 implementation here is also piss poor.
I started playing the game and it’s AMAZING the framerates were trash. Holy sh*t though IT needs to be found in the future. The game is the most advanceded well produced game I’ve ever seen and has incredible amounts of video included in the story. When you get a good card the game gets way better.
Yea a real turn off is when you got a excellent gpu and the game you want to play performs like trash or the fps isn’t constant. I can’t believe it takes a 3090 to max out a 4 year old game with decent fps. Although Quantum break does have some amazing effects but there not 1500$ hardware amazing lol
People can hate all they want at this game but the visuals are very good, one of the best.
This game looks amazing maxed out. So smooth and the lighting is crazy impressive.
“As I’ve said multiple times, Quantum Break is one of the best looking games to the PC”. go check you eyes john. even at release it was medicore looking crappy runing game. you better stop spreading misinformation. this game was average looking even then. it’s a shame you are lying in our faces. best looking? what a big bad shameful joke.
Did you play this game without the upscaling enabled? This game looks superb. John is right and you are just a hater.
you are delusional. the game was mediocre looking at best. it was fun though until the aggravating final boss…
Some people just don’t want to accept how bad this game looks and runs man.
I agree about the final boss, but the graphics were far from being mediocre.
Yeah i played the crap with upscaling off at 4k and saw how average it looked and crappy it ran.even when i had no 4k display i played my games at 4k dsr to have better image quality,upscaling?!john is a liar here and you are a blind moron who knows nothing about a good looking-running game.
The important matter is how game looks compared to it’s requirements.this game looks/looked average no matter what kind of lighting or whatever else it has.god this game is really of of the worst running ones in my whole life.
5:04 LOL, ingame cutscenes locked at 30 FPS.
Honestly, the best thing about Quantum Break is the embedded TV series. Worst being the combat and animation transitions.
Will have to give this game another chance
John unhappy with my objection to your lie about the crap looking good?where is my first comment?why is it that every time you like you delay an objective comment or even delete it?
Amazing, Loved the game, maybe I’ll replay it when I can get my hands* on a 3080
Just look at that power draw from the GPU “370w” INSANEEEE
Some of the 3090s use over 400 watts in peak gaming and that’s not even counting overclocking. Better have a quality PSU with plenty of watts and good case cooling for people wanting one.
Just beat this game few weeks ago. Really enjoyed it personally. It was fun. Worth the $10 I paid for it.
Play again on max settings with upscaling disable.It’s a tech show.Better then Control on textures,material quality,almost everything except reflexions.Higher budget explains this.
5 years later? No thanks. That interactive movie was boring anyway. “Quantum Broken” stays broken.
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are thinking of a different game. This is a very action centered game.
This is one of the best looking game on the market. Very underrated game in my opinion.
Still a garbage game
I have some good memories from this game. And Love the Game. 🙂
I thought Quantum Break was incredibly generic. No idea why people praise it.
