GTX 1080 Ti - Alan Wake 2 - 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 160p...

hello guys chrisp here welcome back to another video in this one my friends I'm going to be testing a GeForce GTX 1080 TI the legendary card from 2017 in Allen wake 2 and my friends I got terrible news but we'll get to it this one is the gigabyte triple Fan Edition of the card we are running it with the latest NVIDIA drivers which it still supports and I'm not manually overclocking it you can see all of its specs right here in Tech powerups GPU Z resizable body is disabled because the GPU doesn't support it and uh we got 11 GB of gdr 5x memory to work with and over on the left we're pairing it with the I5 13600 k at stock speeds and 32 GB of ddr5 6000 MHz Ram in dual Channel now let's take a look at the PC requirements and looking at them it seems like the GTX 1080 TI should be capable of running this game cuz it actually meets the minimum GPU requirements it has more than 6 gabt of vram of course it doesn't have dlss which it asks for on 1080p low so uh for 30 FPS with the 2060 but that's not the end of the world because the 1080 TI in raw performance is usually quite a bit faster than the RTX 2060 or the RX 6600 looking at all of this it should provide an okay experience at the very least but here is the problem even though we support the latest drivers and everything the GPU does not support all of the recommended features this will show up every time you try to launch the game and the game works it still launches but it might lead to poor performance spoiler alert that's that's going to happen visual glitches or crashes all right so it lacks the mesh Shader which the RX 5000 series also do lack and that's very concerning as well cuz 5,000 series is newer than the 1080 TI but uh yeah let's click okay and hope for the best shall we okay let's go for the settings first I'm starting at 1080p resolution native using the absolute lowest settings in the game I manually set it and disabled everything that I could disable and U well again you'd think a 1080 TI should be capable of running the game like this well this is super disappointing my friends I I mean yes the GPU lacks some of the features are needed to play this game properly but I I never expected a 1080 TI to deliver a cinematic 24 FPS experience actually lower than that on average right now um at 1080p absolute lowest settings now the thing is the game still looks reasonably good I mean we disabled a lot of the settings like amb occlusions and stuff that make the game look really pretty even on the low settings preset and of course the 1080 TI doesn't really supports that feature mesh Sher mesh feature or whatever um so it's it's it's probably looking a bit worse than it should on the lowest settings possible but I mean even then it doesn't look terrible it's not like a force broken or Force broken type of game in terms of graphics on lowest settings but it's it's it's definitely completely unplayable guys like for spoken looks optimized aside from this but but I'm not going to bash it too much cuz this is an older architecture already and again it it just lacks that supported feature that this game needs to run properly and that's why it's performing this terribly of course but it's it's a big shame to see the mighty 1080 TI finally starting to fall I guess moving forward as we see more and more games using some new technologies on gpus this is what's going to happen you know the GPU is already almost seven years old so there's that and the architecture is actually 7 years old almost eight cuz the 1080 TI came out a little bit later almost a year after the GTX 1080 did um now with FSR quality well it's the first time actually that I'm trying FSR quality here and it doesn't look terrible also this is super choppy you can see that it's actually skipping some frames here even though it's not showing up that much on the frame time graph this is a problem whenever you are well below 308 FPS in this game and even with like 30 to 35 FPS that happens so it's it's pretty bad but yeah even with FSR to on quality which is 720p internal resolution and then upscales it to 1080p it's not enough guys we get like one more FPS or two that is insane but again I don't think this is a matter of bad optimization once again it's just GPU lacks features and it just Cann not run the game properly it's interesting though that we're not really seeing many graphical issues here um I actually saw yeah for example if you look at her clothes right there her shirt it looks absolutely terrible super noisy and that also happens at Native resolution and interestingly over here it gets less FPS than in the forest area of the game that's not the norm guys like usually here you get way higher FPS but again Shader meshes are missing so it just doesn't perform as it should I'm going to try Ultra performance which is upscaling from 360p resolution still looks pretty good though all right a lot of noise when you turn around the camera and a lot of pixelation as well but that's expected coming from a 360p res image right and upscaling it but I can say that FSR 2 is actually doing a really decent job in this game it's it might not be as soft as dlss is actually cuz D LSS quality might look slightly softer actually than FSR 2 quality in this game but FSR 2 quality actually looks a little bit more noisy than the LSS does so yeah you pick your poison I guess but both do look pretty decent at Native res I'm not sure why I'm comparing them with a 1080 TI that doesn't even support all of the features in this game we we should definitely test an AMD card next right but anyways even at 360p resolution it's not enough to achieve 30 FPS guys so uh yeah if you were wondering looking at those system requirements and thinking yeah maybe I can actually run it with a GTX 1080 TI and it's going to be playable because it ask for a 2060 definitely avoid it with a pascal GPU my friends this is so sad to see I'm actually going to try it at like 640 by 480 shall we okay this is it I don't want 160p yet let's do Native 640x 480 and I needed to switch it to Window mode to be able to record it cuz the capture card wasn't really uh handling full screen 640x 480 it's just too low I guess and uh yeah we're still using the lowest settings okay oh boy no it's still not enough it is still not enough it's still getting 20s here guys with a lot of choppiness damn no no 1080 TI what the have they done to you oh that is terrible all right last thing to try is 2133 by 160 resolution this is 160p at 4x3 it's even lower then 16x9 160p of course holy crap please please please give me give me 30 finally no no it's still dropping okay but maybe we can get 30 on average so let's let's run around like this it looks it looks absolutely awful actually not as bad as I thought it would look at 160p honestly once again I'm looking at a very small window in my screen though but yeah I still expected it to look a bit worse than it actually is but yeah it's still not enough to get 30 FPS see just lacking a little feature changes the experience completely it's time my friends it's time to upgrade if you have a GTX 1080 TI and if you want to play recent games or this one in particular I guess I mean the 1080 TI still does a pretty decent job in most recent games after all even if you need to lower settings at 1080p can still do like 1080p medium or high settings in most of them easily but uh yeah I I'm I'm afraid that moving forward since it's lacking some of these newer features this is what we will start seeing from now now one very very big shame 28 FPS and 191% lows at 160p all right guys that's been it thank you very much for watching actually let me just check it out over here still gets teens 16 FPS exactly the same as before maybe like one or two more frames oh my God oh my God look at the graphics the pixelation Jesus oh boy I just noticed it's not even using the entire GPU the power usage is so low on the 1080 TI as well again this is what happens when you like features I want to be completely clear here this is not a matter of optimization it's just a matter of using newer Technologies in the game that are not supported by the 10 series it seems like the legendary GTX 1080 TI in this game is the new gt710 catch you in the next one as always love you all bye-bye
