Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
- Thread starter eVo7
- Start date
They did not lie, 2 years ago you couldn't have done this on an HDD at the same level, you want to wait 30 seconds for each world to load? sure have at it let alone at 720p with lower quality assets.
Those HDD results look terrible compared to the smooth and snappy way things loaded on the PS5, if it had to be played like that all the time the game wouldn't have been made. They may have made a different R&C don't get me wrong but this specific game wouldn't have been made.
These Xbox fans think Insomniac's intended vision is to jump rifts with 10-15 second loading times, have stutters and judders with fps going down to the 30s with no ray tracing and play at 720p
NXGamer literally showed how his PC (similar config to the PS5 except for the SSD) performed with a HDD and those were the results . Some people just don't know when to quit.
Let's see how it runs once they fix the port. That's 2 s*** ports in a row.
Again. T2 is king at this.

Just let this one go lol, there is no way that game would work in the same way on a HDD and still be enjoyable, especially with that level of fidelity.
I mean they could probably fix the worse raytracing on PC and textures problems but that is also a result of the bottleneck of slower architecture transfer of data that PC has. If you have more RAM, faster CPU and GPU, it could try to make up this inefficiency.
Really PC has a couple problems with living up to the PS5 version:
-windows (this is huge)
-latency between pcie discrete gpu and cpu and memory on the PC platform; ps5 has shared coherent cache between cpu and gpu so even though the memory latency is lower on PC, the gpu and cpu on ps5 don't necessarily have to hit memory as often thus providing more performance for the GPU and CPU to focus on rendering the game (smoother fps despite the huge loads of data moving back and forth during transitions).

This whole post reeks that you've never played it on PC.
Also, they've issued a hotfix (small) today that fixes some RT BUGS and character BUGS.
The game already has many features the PS5 will never have, RT shadows and RT AO, ultra wide support, ability to run the framerate as high as you want, NATIVE resolutions, etc. Things that aren't "parity with PS5" are bugs and unintended behavior that will be fixed.

I have not . I watched the analysis videos for them. But makes sense, you need more powerful and faster hardware to make up for that architectural efficiency that the PC just does not have compared to the console. Which can be said the same for all games basically when pushing higher frames and settings. But it's interesting to note similarly specced PCs cannot perform at the same level as the PS5. Part of that reason is because the devs designed this game to fully take advantage of the console hardware. A fine example of developing with a more console focused mindset first.
Yes, programmed to the metal on fixed function hardware will always be more efficient
PC's are tools, they do so much more than play games, they will do whatever you want/spec them out to do, and that's the beauty. freedom of choice.
The game is already much better on PC, but that shouldn't be surprising since consoles are already generations behind PC.
You also didn't mention triple monitor support as well.
Doesn't help that they are using a very scripted section in that video.
Once they fix the PC port it's going to be funny. Or Modders will beat them to it.
Again....
Titanfall did it best. Damn I need to play that game again.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis Review
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart finally brings the epic franchise to the PC Platform. You get amazing visuals, with support for ray tracing, Direct Storage and all important upscaler technologies. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance...
With RTX IO and DirectStorage1.1 s and newer GDeflate assets go straight from SSD > GPU and decompressed on the GPU. There is no CPU or system memory routing in the decompression pipeline, straight from SSD to GPU.

That's good this is a way to increase efficiency of the decompression despite DirectStorage being a software based solution and not hardware.
Streaming affects graphical quality.
Better streaming capabilities allows devs to create better graphics.
Here is a quite detailed comparison showing
Especially that level where you can keep hitting the crystals as many times as you want and the whole world changes.
There it is at 18 mins in. Xbots must think DF, IGN are also lying even after doing extensive testing on the best high end PC specs money can buy right now.
Basically affirms that at the time when Insomniac said that line, it was about comparing the PS4 memory setup to the PS5's and it would not be possible without the PS5's SSD which is true.
And right now, STILL people are running away from that and trying to create new narratives about lies. This is hilarious, funny how these huge debates and interests are gained only around Sony exclusives . At least this shines more light on the PC platform which is good.
