| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
God of War supported Windows 10/11.
The priority and main 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 its own games, about which there is practically no information on the Internet. Development of the game started in 2014.
It is also worth noting that a video of the technical build of the 2015 game recently appeared online, thanks to which this game was given the green light. 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 became much better, which is good news.
Owners of GeForce RTX series GPUs in desktop PCs or laptops receive support for NVIDIA DLSS technology and NVIDIA Reflex latency optimization technology. NVIDIA DLSS delivers significant performance gains in God of War while maintaining image quality, while NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency and makes gameplay more responsive.
| SETTINGS |
God of War has a sufficient range of graphic 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.
| QUALITY MODES |

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 maximum graphics quality settings. RTX cards tested with DLSS in mode Quality, the rest – with AMDFSR in mode Max Quality.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX video cards are provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| GPU TEST |
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.

| 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.
