Zombie Army 4: Dead War PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

4K Performance – Demanding, but achievable

At 4K, Zombie Island 4 has pushed every graphics card except for Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Ti under 60FPS in our in-game test runs, though we would expect Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super to also achieve this feat. 

Lower-end graphics cards like AMD’s RX 5700 can achieve 60FPS framerates on 4K screens using a lower resolution scale, with an 80% scale bringing the title to over 60FPS for both average and 99th percentile framerates. 

AMD VS Nvidia

Now we can see AMD’s RX 5700 best Nvidia’s RTX 2060 by a notable margin, offering a complete reversal from the same situation at 1080p. This highlights how much resolution matters when judging game performance. 

DirectX 12 VS Vulkan

Like before, the general trend is that Nvidia graphics cards prefer Vulkan, especially Nvidia’s Turing-powered graphics cards, but on the AMD side we can see that Vulkan only benefits AMD’s new RDNA graphics cards.
