In the Quality mode, you can see how much stuttering there is despite the average frame rate not being far off the PS5. Similarly, with ray tracing off, PC is able to maintain 60 fps with FSR 2 turned on to the Balanced mode, while the PS5 occasionally dips a bit lower. On the performance front, FSR 2 does wonders for the PC port with ray tracing turned on, allowing the game to run near 60 fps. In addition, the grass is blurry in the PS5 version while it’s clear on PC. In this same scene, you can see how much softer the edges are around Frey on the PS5. These enhanced textures are available in the PC port at higher quality levels, but it exposes how the PS5 version handles them differently. You can see the massive difference in the quality of the stone above, with the PC version looking far less detailed. The PS5 version looks like it prioritizes textures closer to the camera and uses an enhanced version of those textures. The PC version looks worse at first glance.

I also kept the game on the Standard graphics preset, which brought up some interesting differences between the PC and PS5 versions. In place of the dynamic resolution in the PS5 version, I used AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2) for the Performance and Ray Tracing comparisons. You can watch the video above to see how it stacks up overall. This machine is more expensive than a PS5, but it’s around the same power. Forspoken: PC versus PS5įor testing, I used a PC equipped with a Ryzen 5 5600X and AMD RX 6600 XT graphics card. Instead, it just outputs a 120Hz signal and uses that to achieve 40 fps in the Quality and Ray Tracing modes (usually unsuccessfully). This limits the resolution, but the game doesn’t actually reach 120 fps. Outside of the quality modes, Forspoken also includes a 120Hz mode, but it’s a bit deceptive. This is by far the weakest mode, not only because of the aggressive upscaling, but also because of the minimal visual impact of ray tracing in Forspoken (more on that in the next section).

In particular, the Ray Tracing mode has some significant artifacts as it tries to reconstruct a 4K image.

These resolution differences can have a big impact on the look of the game, too. It hovers between 4K and 1440p, with Performance mode going closer to 1440p and Quality mode closer to 4K.
