| THE GRAFICAL PART |
In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.
In this test, we present the final annual review for the game God of War, which was tested at maximum+ graphics quality settings.
| SUPPORTED OC AND GRAPHICS API |
God of War is supported by Windows 10/11.
The priority and primary graphics API for God of War is DX11 .
| GAME ENGINE |
The game is based on an internal game engine developed by SIE Santa Monica Studio for games of its own production, regarding which there is practically no information on the network. The development of the game started in 2014.
It is also worth noting that a video of the technical build of the game 2015 appeared on the network the other day, thanks to which they gave the green light to this game. It is worth noting that the pre-alpha version of God of War looked at a very decent level:
It can be stated that the graphics of the game with the release were not only not simplified, but also prettier at times, which cannot but rejoice.
Owners of GeForce RTX series GPUs in a desktop or laptop have received support for NVIDIA DLSS technology and NVIDIA Reflex latency optimization technology. NVIDIA DLSS provides a significant performance boost in God of War while maintaining image quality, while NVIDIA Reflex reduces system lag and makes gameplay more responsive.
| SETTINGS |
God of War has a sufficient range of graphics settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
| TECHNOLOGIES |
The graphics in the PC version of God of War are at a very high level:
Well, then we will go directly to the gaming tests and determine what impact this game has on modern computer hardware.

Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at maximum+ graphics quality settings.
- we will release annual tests every other day if possible, but everything will depend on the supply of electricity
- there will be no DLSS and FSR in the annual tests, since they are not supported by all games and do not bring any useful result for the overall results
- due to the difficult conditions with the supply of e-va and the problematic conduct of large-scale tests in each game there will always be one setting that gives the maximum quality of graphics, and if the maximum quality is ray tracing, then it will only be ray tracing
- in the tests, only video cards and processors that affect only the final review, which are currently relevant and on sale - for video cards, these are only solutions with hardware support for ray tracing
| GPU TEST |
In the test of video cards, the default resolution is 1920x1080, 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 productive CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 3050 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 3050 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2070s solutions .
At a resolution of 2560x1440, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 3050 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 3050 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6700 XT solutions or GeForce RTX 3060 Ti .
At a resolution of 3840x2160, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the level Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2070 .
