And while those slowdowns are not THAT severe on Nvidia cards, there are reports that AMD users face major issues.īeenox has added a nice amount of graphics settings to tweak. Obviously Beenox has not polished the PC port, but we have to note that the game is underperforming on Xbox One too. We seriously don’t know what is causing those slowdowns, but we do know that the game has major performance issues. Furthermore, our framerate was fluctuating between 35fps and 50fps while standing still on rooftops. The interesting thing here is that our framerate was suddenly increasing after a while, suggesting a streaming issue or something similar to it. While we were web swinging and travelling through the city, there were slowdowns to mid-30s. Okay? We got this out of the way? Let’s move on. Let’s get one thing straight before continuing, though: the game performs better than its console counterpart. Not only that, but the game suffers from some really weird performance issues. The Amazing Spider-man 2 only supports DX9, and there were no performance differences between a tri-core and a quad-core system. As we can clearly see, our quad-core was not stressed, despite the fact that the framerate was all over the place. The Amazing Spider-man 2 is built for three CPU cores. Not only that, but a GTX680 is unable to offer smooth framerates at 4K resolutions (3840×2160) as it was used almost to its fullest at 3200×1800. Although the game was running with 40fps, that stuttering made it completely unplayable.

We tried running the game at 3200×1800, however we experienced some weird stuttering side-effects while moving the camera. A GTX680 is able to run the game without major slowdowns at 1080p (ranging between 62fps to 35fps). Since the game does not support SLI, our GTX690 performed similar to a GTX680. Given the fact that there is no SLI profile the first The Amazing Spider-man, we are almost certain that the green team won’t provide one anytime soon. Unfortunately, Nvidia has not added any SLI profile for this title as of yet. And as you may have already heard, it’s a game that is so last-gen – in almost all regards – that makes you wonder why Activision and Beenox did not further polish it (aside from the fact that they wanted to hit the deadline).Īs always, we used an overclocked Q9650 (4.2Ghz) with 4GB of RAM, Nvidia GTX 690, Windows 7-64Bit and the latest version of the GeForce ForceWare drivers. Deep inside its soul we can find an entertaining game, though the storyline is dumb, the voice acting is lame, and the animations are stiff and disappointing. The game has been developed by Beenox and aims to capture the combat feeling of the Batman: Arkham series, the web swinging feeling of all previous Spiderman titles, and the character upgrade system of – pretty much – most open world games. The Amazing Spider-man 2 has just been released on the PC, and it’s time to see how this new open world performs on our platform.
