In addition to the super hot masterpiece of the old man ring this month, there is another masterpiece that cannot be ignored - "Shadow Samurai 3". This generation of "Shadow Samurai" has made a great degree of simplification and optimization in the combat system, aiming to give every player a more pure and playable action game experience, the whole experience of the game revolves around a cool word, players who are tortured to death by the old ring can play "Shadow Samurai 3", abuse the computer to be happy.
"Shadow Samurai 3" on the quality of the settings, divided into four preset schemes, you can also customize the shadow quality, material quality and other more than 10 special effects, this game also supports NVIDIA DLSS, but the initial version can not be opened, can only wait for the subsequent update patch. The well-known game test station gamegpu.com has been tested in an all-round way, let's take a look at the test results.
The comparison chart of the lowest and highest picture quality, you can see that the difference between high and low picture quality is still quite large, the details of the ground and leaves under the highest picture quality are more natural and realistic; the "freshness" of light and guns is also much better, and the lowest picture quality is well... You look at this sticker, how flat it is.
Based on the Unreal Engine 4, Shadow Samurai 3 has a leap in overall picture quality compared to the previous game, and the color matching of the big red and purple pictures is matched with a large number of oriental architectural elements, presenting players with a shogunate scene full of strange magical styles.
What kind of graphics does Shadow Samurai 3 need to experience smoothly? Let's take a graphics performance test to see how the RTX 30 series graphics cards perform in Shadow Samurai 3 and provide reference suggestions for players.
All settings are tested at the highest image quality. It can be seen that at 1080P resolution, RTX 3060 can easily run out of 121fps to meet the advanced gaming standard of 120 brushes; if it is upgraded to 2K resolution, it needs to reach 120+fps with RTX 3070 level graphics; as for 4K resolution, it will make the graphics card reach the performance bottleneck, and even RTX 3080Ti cannot exceed 100fps.
Whether it is RTX 3060 or RTX 3080Ti, the video memory occupation at 4K resolution does not exceed 6GB, and even less than 4GB at 1080P resolution, which is good news for old graphics card users.
From the above test, we can see that in 1080P 2K resolution, RTX 30 can easily cope, but 4K can not be on the 100 frames for the time being, unfortunately, the current version can not open DLSS, and in the future, after the production team opens the DLSS function, I believe it can easily break through this frame limit. Below we recommend three graphics cards for your reference.
1080P resolution with RTX 3060 is enough! Sotecté RTX 3060-12GD6 Apocalypse GOC-X uses 8+2 phase SEP power supply and 170W TGP, default frequency 1320-1807/14000MHz, 3 fans 5 heat pipe stacking heat dissipation design, and optional Apocalypse Wings stereo cooling engine, to create a full range of stereoscopic cooling system, fully release graphics card performance.
The higher 2K resolution is required, and the RTX 3070Ti can meet it. The Sotime RTX 3070Ti AMP HOLO OC is naturally the best choice, using a unique holographic laser design in appearance and paired with SPECTRA 2.0 ARGB lighting effects, which present a gradient effect at different angles, and the ARGB lighting effect under the rear trim panel is like an aurora. The default frequency is as high as 1575-1830/19000MHz.
The RTX 3080Ti meets the 4K top quality pursuits. The Soté RTX 3080Ti-12G6X PGF OC is designed in the shape of a sci-fi space starship, with dark gray and silver-white trim alternating interspersed with black metal components, which is both personality and luxury. The coronal lighting effect system covering the whole card supports ARGB lighting effect partition control, 16.8 million colors adjusted at will and dozens of preset lighting effects, using 8 heat pipes and three fans for heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation material at any cost is only to create a flagship graphics card cooling system.
At present, "Shadow Samurai 3" has been listed on the Steam Mall, the standard version is 188 yuan, the deluxe version is 238 yuan, and the whole process supports Chinese Simplified. The current evaluation is "mixed", perhaps because fans are not satisfied that Shadow Samurai 3 does not provide players with a similar "highest difficulty" mode and less content volume in the second generation, and players look at the staff table after completing the level with an inexplicable sense of emptiness. It is expected that Shadow Samurai 3 will have free updates or paid DLC in the future to improve the game experience and solve the problem that DLSS cannot be opened.
