So kudos to KT Racing for at least offering a game that looks that good.Need decent performance for WRC 10 ? Tired of the game constantly lagging ? We have just the right fix for you With the exception of the Forza series, WRC 10 is the best looking rally game on PC. And while there is definitely room for improvement, the game pushes some truly amazing graphics. Overall, WRC 10 requires powerful CPUs and GPUs in order to be enjoyed. It’s not as optimized as, let’s say Forza Horizon 4 with its huge environments. Apart from that, this is easily one of the most beautiful rally games to date. My only gripe with WRC 10 is its rain/snow effects that are nowhere close to what other racing games are currently offering. Thanks to the new lighting system, the sharpened visuals, high-resolution textures, the game looks great. There are also some cool storm wind effects, as well as visual car damage and minimal vegetation interactivity.
Its environments also look amazing and it packs some really high-resolution textures. The game now features a more realistic Color Grading, and its lighting system is more advanced. Graphics-wise, WRC 10 looks better than its predecessor, WRC 9.
Therefore, WRC 10 will feel smooth at such framerates if you own a GSync/FreeSync monitor. And, thankfully, the game felt really smooth. Now since there were drops to 52fps at 4K, I went ahead and tested the game on my LG CX (which is a GSync TV). As for 4K, the RTX3080 was unable to offer a constant 60fps experience.
The only GPUs that were able to offer a smooth gaming experience at both 1080p and 1440p were the RTX2080Ti and RTX3080. Still, it features a stage at specific weather conditions, and that’s something you’ll definitely encounter while playing it. Again, our benchmark is a really demanding scenario. Our NVIDIA GTX980Ti was simply unable to offer a smooth gaming experience, and our AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 was dropping below 60fps. WRC 10 also requires powerful GPUs, even for gaming at 1080p/Max Settings. Thus, we can assume that WRC 10 needs at least six (modern) CPU threads in order to run properly and smoothly. By enabling Hyper-Threading, we were able to resolve these stutters (and increase overall performance). Hell, even our simulated quad-core system had stutters (without Hyper-Threading). Our simulated dual-core system was simply unable to offer an acceptable gaming performance due to severe stuttering issues. In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. Therefore, other stages (during different weather/day conditions) may run faster. This appeared to be a really taxing scenario due to the weather and dense vegetation, so consider this a stress test. This benchmark race was in Finland at Noon and with Storm weather conditions. As such, we used a custom race in order to benchmark our GPUs and CPUs. WRC 10 does not come with any built-in benchmark tool. Not only that, but the game supports both DX12 and DX11. There are also options for SSAO, Reflections, Bloom, Anti-Aliasing, Color Grading, Motion Blur and Sharpen. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Shadows, Textures, Particles, Distance, Vegetation, Terrain, Crowd and Water. KT Racing has added a respectable amount of graphics settings to tweak. NVIDIA has not added any SLI profile for this game, meaning that our GTX690 behaved similarly to a single GTX 680.
We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 471.96 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.8.2 drivers.
Powered by the KT Engine, it’s time now to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA’s GTX690, GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti and RTX 3080. Nacon has released the latest part in its rally video-game series, WRC 10.
