Crimson Desert PC: One Lighting Setting Delivers Major Frame-Rate Boost

Digital Foundry finds Crimson Desert on PC runs solidly at 1440p with a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 4060 using DLSS 4.0, but the biggest performance jump comes from dialing Lighting Quality away from Max (to Ultra or Cinematic), which can nearly double FPS in CPU/GPU‑heavy moments; DF Optimised Settings offer an additional ~11% uplift, while ray tracing on/off has minor effects. Frame generation can push FPS into the 70s–90s but adds latency. The game is GPU-bound and benefits from more CPU headroom in busy scenes; VRAM usage is fine on 8GB GPUs.

PMR 2.0: A cautious stride toward redemption

PMR 2.0: A cautious stride toward redemption

Project Motor Racing’s 2.0 update brings a cleaner UI, a streamlined offline career mode, real-world sponsors, and telemetry-driven tyre/handling refinements across GT classes. Handling is improved—cars feel more responsive and braking/brake-shift confidence is up—but PC visuals remain behind rivals with stuttering and pop-in, and AI behavior stays inconsistent. The track cut system is still quirky, and there are remaining bugs affecting gear shifts and early-lap AI actions. Overall, 2.0 is a cautious but real step forward, not a full redemption, as performance and polish still lag behind expectations.

Bungie highlights Marathon playtest gaps: PC performance, UI tweaks, and ammo balance under scrutiny

Bungie released a digest of Marathon server-slam feedback, flagging PC performance issues (high CPU use, FPS ceilings, stuttering), ongoing UI feedback iterations, and concerns over med and ammo economy, plus investigations into “Weasel” network errors; players are encouraged to share system details and clips to aid fixes.

Bungie refines Marathon UI and PC performance in Server Slam feedback round

Bungie is actively addressing player feedback from Marathon’s Server Slam, focusing on UI improvements, PC performance (high CPU use, low GPU utilization, FPS ceilings, stuttering), PvP balance on non-beginner maps, movement and heat concerns, med/ammo economy, and Weasel error codes. Players are asked to share system specs and video clips via the Help Forum and Discord to help investigations ahead of the March 5 full launch. The Server Slam peaked at about 143,621 concurrent PC players on Steam, with a Steam peak around 76k on the weekend, and runs until March 2, 6pm UK time.

Monster Hunter Wilds PC: DLC Check Bug Causes CPU Strain

Monster Hunter Wilds PC: DLC Check Bug Causes CPU Strain

Digital Foundry confirms that PC performance issues in Monster Hunter Wilds come from the game repeatedly checking for DLC in hub/base camp areas, which increases CPU load. Buying DLC doesn’t actually boost performance; the issue is a bug. A mod called Less DLC Checks blocks these checks and can improve FPS by roughly 11–26% depending on settings. Capcom should fix the bug, but there is a workaround, especially noticeable on hub areas and lower-end CPUs.

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

New tests largely confirm that buying the full cosmetic DLC catalog for Monster Hunter Wilds provides only small, hardware-dependent framerate gains instead of the dramatic boosts initially reported. In controlled runs, RTX 4060 rose from about 66fps to 67fps around base camp, while RTX 5080 went from ~66fps to 73fps (plus small 0.1% lows improvements). Outside base camp, gains are minimal, and the author cautions that spending nearly £460 on cosmetics is not worth it. Capcom’s patch due Jan 27 will be another test, but the evidence so far suggests the DLC checks aren’t a silver bullet for performance.

Modder Links DLC Checks to Monster Hunter Wilds PC Performance

Modder Links DLC Checks to Monster Hunter Wilds PC Performance

A Kotaku piece reports a viral theory that Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC stutter and low FPS may be caused by how the game checks for DLC; a Reddit user found dramatically better FPS on a friend’s DLC-enabled account, and a modder released a DLC-check bypass to test the theory; Capcom hasn’t confirmed the claim, though the game has dozens of DLC packs on Steam and patches have repeatedly added more DLC.

Background DLC Checks Drag Down Monster Hunter Wilds Performance on PC, Reddit Finds

Reddit user u/de_Tylmarande reports Monster Hunter Wilds PC runs worse due to a background DLC ownership check that adds CPU overhead; disabling the check with a mod reportedly boosts FPS from about 26 to 46 in a busy hub, with mid-range hardware most affected. Whether this is a bug or deliberate DRM is unclear, but Capcom has released performance patches without addressing this check; more optimizations are promised for 2026, and the mod may be released if Capcom doesn't fix the issue.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW Expands with New Games and Features

The Outer Worlds 2, powered by Unreal Engine 5, supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing on PC. Benchmarks on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 reveal that Ray Tracing improves visuals but causes significant performance drops and noisy shadows, making it less recommended. DLSS 4, especially with Frame Gen, helps achieve playable frame rates at 4K, with the best performance using DLSS 4 Performance Mode. Overall, DLSS 4 offers good visual quality and performance, while Ray Tracing's drawbacks suggest disabling it for smoother gameplay.

The Outer Worlds 2: Performance, Reviews, and Early Access Insights

The Outer Worlds 2, built on Unreal Engine 5 with raytracing and upscaling features, shows demanding PC performance benchmarks, with high-end GPUs needed for 4K 60+ FPS, and various graphical settings impacting performance and visual quality. The game offers extensive customization options, but HW-Lumen raytracing currently has issues, and optimization is expected in future updates.

Dying Light: The Beast PC Performance Review

Dying Light: The Beast runs smoothly on PC with all tested GPUs achieving 60FPS at 1080p and high settings, but its graphics are considered outdated with issues like pop-in and low texture quality. High-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 are needed for 4K gaming at 60FPS, and the game supports various upscaling technologies, though it lacks ray tracing support.
