Godfall PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

Graphics Options & System Requirements

Next-generation games call for next-generation hardware requirements. Now, Nvidia’s GTX 1060 and Radeon’s RX 580 are no longer recommended for new games, they are now the minimum. Hardware requirements are moving on, and the high-end GPUs of yesteryear will soon no longer be enough for new games at their highest settings.   

AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 XT and Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti are Godfall’s recommended graphics cards. That alone should highlight how demanding new games are becoming, and how quickly older graphics cards are moving towards obsolescence. 

Minimum 

OS – Windows 10 64-bit
CPU – Intel i5 6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM – 12GB
GPU – Radeon RX 580 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB

Recommended

OS – Windows 10 64-bit
CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel i7-8700K
RAM – 16GB RAM
GPU – AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti

Graphical Settings

To describe Godfall’s graphical options, the only word that we have to describe it is basic. If you are familiar with Unreal Engine 4 titles, you will have seen many of these same graphical options before, and if you look on page six of this analysis, you will see that most of these options have a minimal impact on game performance. 

Sadly, Godfall features no form of resolution scaling, forcing gamers to lower their system resolution to run Godfall should their PC not be powerful enough for native resolution rendering. The game also lacks FOV adjustment options and the ability to cap the game’s framerate. Counterplay Games has confirmed that an FOV slider will be added to Godfall with a future patch.
