Fractured Jaw is a very complex stage, so setting up this scene for RT will not be insignificant. Another aspect to factor in is the additional CPU burden - RT requires a 'BVH structure' which is effectively a copy of scene geometry to shoot rays at in order to calculate the relevant effects.

Memory usage of RT is also significant, which may offer one reason why Xbox Series S does not feature ray tracing at all. For example, it seems that the Fractured Jaw mission on consoles does not use ray tracing at all - presumably because the nature of the content is just too taxing to make the effect viable with a target 60fps. It is supported on PS5 and Xbox Series X in the form of ray traced shadows, but I swiftly discovered that even when enabled, RT isn't present throughout the game. With standard rasterisation out of the way, the ray tracing settings are intriguing. Typically, lower resolution buffers for transparencies is an easy performance win, drastically reducing bandwidth.

And often, these compromises are not present in the PC rendition of the game - even if there's no technical reason they could not be implemented. This demonstrates something we often find in console builds - while they have much in common with the PC versions, developers can make customised renditions of specific effects, designed to offer more bang for the buck. This controls the fidelity of transparent effects like fire and it's closest to PC's medium, though the age-old console performance trick of using lower precision buffers is in play. Alex Battaglia breaks down the PS5 version of Cold War, stacking it up against the PC edition and testing across a range of hardware.īefore we talk about ray tracing, the final setting to discuss is the effects preset, which throws up a certain level of ambiguity.
It's an on/off setting and it's definitely enabled on consoles.

Meanwhile, sub-surface scattering more realistically renders the way that light interacts with skin on character models. However, I could find no difference between low and high settings, so PS5 could be equivalent to any of them. Ordered independent transparencies increase sorting quality for transparent effects - with some very odd artefacing when disabled. Other settings reveal the developers erring more towards the high end - screen-space reflections, for example, are an important aspect of the game's visual make-up and so PS5 runs at what looks like a match with PC's high preset, while the model quality option (which is self-explanatory) is again for a match for PC at its best. Through a process of elimination, PlayStation 5 looks closest to PC at medium. The object detail setting is interesting - it controls the draw distance of odd one-off bits of environmental detail, usually only noticeable in the far distance.
Meanwhile, texture quality on PS5 is equivalent to PC's maxed out setting, as long as the high quality texture pack is installed. Other features are engaged though - motion blur on PS5 is equivalent to the PC game with its 'all' setting, yet has fewer samples in motion than the closest 'high' quality level. Water tessellation controls the displacement of water, offering up more detail and this is turned off on PlayStation 5. The volumetric lighting setting controls the resolution of lit volumetric fog in the game, where PS5 is closest to PC's low setting. You can watch our entire process in matching PlayStation 5's visual make-up to PC in the embedded video below, but through a process of careful testing, it was possible to provide a very close match, up to and including ray tracing features, so let's get straight into the nitty-gritty. Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is our next port of call.
With new Xbox and PlayStation hardware effectively resetting the baseline, how does your existing gaming rig stack up? Do you need to upgrade? What kind of PC kit is now required to match the console experience? We've already tested Assassin's Creed Valhalla, finding that relatively high-end PC kit is required to get the job done, while Watch Dogs Legion lowered expectations - provided you had an Nvidia RTX card. The arrival of a new gaming generation always shakes up the status quo - not just in the console space, but for PC owners too.
