The editor said: The frame-rate performance of "Wing Star Survival" has always been a "mystery", and today five RTX graphics cards were used to solve this mystery.
Some time ago, the new survival masterpiece " ICARUS " Wing Star Survival ICARUS ", which was personally written by Dean Hall, the father of "Day Z", was officially released.
As a tactical competitive game that has attracted the attention of players before it was released, although "Wing Star Survival" experienced some waves when it was first released, fortunately, after the official update and optimization, the player's evaluation has gradually become positive, and it has also topped the Steam game weekly sales list.
As a DIY editor, personally will first pay attention to the quality of the game, "Wing Star Survival" is built with Unreal Engine 4, and supports NVIDIA's RTX ray tracing technology and DLSS supersampling resolution technology, from the official release of the game screenshots, the picture quality is still relatively realistic and natural.
Looking at the game review area, most players still have a good evaluation of the game's picture quality, but in the optimization power of the game, it seems to be a "billion" point difference. Many players are quite dissatisfied with the frame rate performance of "Wing Star Survival", and even some players complain that "the 3080 runs up and the card is the same as the MX200".
To "prove" this, we brought together five Gigabyte's RTX 30 series graphics cards to experience WingStar Survival, from the highest-end GeForce RTX 3090 GAMING 24G coverage to The GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC 12G (unfortunately no RTX 3060 Ti), with the 12th generation Core processor platform for frame count measurement.
When launching WingStar Survival, you will be prompted to use the DX11 or DX12 graphics interface, if you want to enable RTX ray tracing and global illumination, you must open the game under DX12, so our tests are also based on DX12.
First test a wave of 3DMark benchmark performance test, Time Spy project test can measure the benchmark performance of graphics cards in the DX12 environment, from the test results to understand the performance of these graphics cards.
RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 Ti are based on GA102 large cores, the theoretical performance gap is not large; RTX 3080 is 12% worse, RTX 3070 is 38%, 23% weaker than RTX 3080, the weakest nature is RTX 3060, and there is also a 56% gap with RTX 3070.
Performance is fine, so let's get into the game. From the test results just now, in addition to the RTX 3060, other graphics cards can challenge the 4K resolution, so we will test the first four graphics cards at 4K resolution and 2K resolution, while the RTX 3060 is tested at 2K and 1080P resolutions, the picture quality is set to extremely high, and the DLSS frame rate performance is turned on.
ROCKETWERKZ honestly do not deceive me, the game graphics are indeed very good, whether it is mountains, streams, rocks, vegetation are very realistic, but in 4K resolution, the ground map still looks a little blurry.
With the blessing of RTX ray tracing, the reflection of the sunlight on the vegetation and trees is very real, and it feels like being in a real mountain forest.
After a period of experience, we tested the frame count of each graphics card at different resolutions.
At 4K resolution, ray tracing is not turned on, DLSS-Balanced is enabled, the average frame count of the RTX 3090 is 89.1 frames, the average frame number of the RTX 3080 Ti is 85.8 frames, the average frame number of the RTX 3080 is 81.6 frames, and the average frame number of the RTX 3070 is 57.4 frames. It can be seen that RTX 3080 and above graphics cards can run at a higher frame rate after turning on DLSS, and RTX 3070 recommends turning DLSS to performance gears or reducing image quality to get a higher frame rate.
After turning on ray tracing, the general frame count will drop to varying degrees, so we turn the DLSS gear to performance, and we can see that the result is similar to the situation without ray tracing, the average frame number of RTX 3090 is 97.2 frames, the average number of frames of RTX 3080 Ti is 91.2 frames, the average number of frames of RTX 3080 is 81.6 frames, and the average number of frames of RTX 3070 is 60.8 frames.
How does it perform at 2K resolution? Based on the performance of RTX 3080 and above graphics card is more powerful, do not turn on DLSS, RTX 3090 average frame number of 90.2 frames, RTX 3080 Ti average frame number of 87.4 frames, RTX 3080 average frame size of 77 frames, RTX 3070 is an average of less than 60 frames, it seems that if you want to play in high resolution + very high quality, you have to use flagship graphics card.
The RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 were tested after DLSS balancing was turned on, with the RTX 3060 averaging 64.3 frames and the RTX 3070 averaging 102.6 frames.
After ray tracing is turned on, the average frame count of the RTX 3090 graphics card is 104.7 frames, the average frame count of the RTX 3080 Ti is 99.2 frames, the average frame count of the RTX 3080 is 100.8 frames, and the average frame number of the RTX 3070 is 83.2 frames.
According to the frame number performance of the graphics card classification, we have also made a chart for the reference of small partners.
RTX 3060 We also tested the frame count at 1080P, without turning on ray tracing and DLSS, the frame count did not reach 60 frames, after turning on DLSS, the average frame count reached 84.9 frames, and after turning on ray tracing and DLSS, the average frame count reached 79.3 frames.
Summary: After a period of experience, the picture quality of "Wing Star Survival" is indeed remarkable, but it also requires a computer graphics card to have high performance, and the official still needs further improvement in game optimization.
In the high-quality test at different resolutions, we can find that after opening DLSS, it can greatly improve the frame rate performance and bring players a smooth gaming experience, even if it is a dessert-grade graphics card RTX 3060, you can also enjoy a smooth high-resolution + high-quality game screen through hypersampling technology, if you want to easily increase the frame rate, then DLSS supersampling technology is the magic weapon that allows you to keep the game smooth.
In addition, based on NVIDIA's latest Ampere architecture, GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 30 series graphics card, equipped with the second generation RT Core and the third generation Tensor Core, has powerful graphics performance, wind power three fan system and metal heat dissipation backplane, bringing the ultimate cool cooling performance, so that the graphics card can be fully fired for a long time, and the frame rate performance is more stable! If you want to experience "Wing Star Survival" without pressure, you may wish to take a look.
