Halo Reach PC Performance Review with AMD Ryzen APU Testing
1080p Performance

1080p Performance
Let's get started with something simple. We recommend playing Halo Reach with the game's framerate locked to 60FPS. With the game's framerate locked, it's more stable, and has less to no framerate variation with the right hardware.
At 1080p, even low-end hardware can run Halo: Reach with ease, with our GTX 960 and R9 380 coming out of retirement just to showcase how easily Halo: Reach can run at 60FPS on PC. Today's PC hardware makes Microsoft's old Xbox 360 look like a joke, but that's to be expected given the age of the hardware.
As you can see, an unlocked framerate in Halo: Reach and change drastically over the course of gameplay, creating another reason why a locked 60FPS may be preferable for some PC players.

I strongly recommend you guys get this via Xbox game pass.
So far I have found this service the best one available. Just when you think PC titles are worth it, you only have to jump on your xbox to see the library open up even further. Halo MCC Outer World Gear/4/5 etc Reach has horrid fps when unlocked as mentioned already in the article (good job mark!), but my god these games are just amazing. First person shooter in their simplicity and yet so good. I need to look at the FoV myself, i did not notice the same limitations you had, but perhaps that is something skewed from the start for me since I use a widescreen at 3440 x 1440 |
Yeah, Game Pass is great, especially for the money that you pay for it right now. The value of Game pass alone will help Xbox a lot next-gen.
I'm surprised how well Reach holds up at high resolutions. Great models for all the main characters, well, at least for their armour (The Faces!!!!!!!! Ugh). Lots of detail that isn't really seen on the old Xbox 360 versions. Not bad for such an old game.Quote
