In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
If you are interested in purchasing video cards from our testing, you can follow the link in its title in the modular chart and select the required model.

| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920×1080, 2560×1440 and 3840×2160 with various anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the schedule at the request of the reader.

| VERDICT |
Well, based on the updated testing, we can conclude that the version Game Pass highly not recommended for the game A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Performance version Microsoft Store both GPU and CPU lower version GoG, which indicates the presence of either DRM protection, or unwanted overlays in the version Microsoft Store.
We have a noticeable decrease in performance not only for the video card and processor in Microsoft Store, as well as increased consumption RAM, which negatively affects weak systems, which are the main clients Game Pass.
It is also worth mentioning the publishing house separately. Focus Entertainment, which must monitor the quality of its products on different sites and to whom we have repeatedly made requests for the opportunity to test the game, but in response we received a complete ignore… But the performance of the game A Plague Tale: Requiem and no problem Microsoft Store leaves much to be desired…
