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.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
The difference between the various settings is visible to the naked eye.
| COMPARISON OF SMOOTHING MODES |
Various anti-aliasing modes work almost the same (SSA, of course, shows itself somewhat better and is very gluttonous), but FXAA was chosen by default for the ultra settings of the game.
| GENERAL VISUAL DESIGN AND GAME PHYSICS |
Yakuza Kiwami 2 has a fairly good graphical component, and as a PS4 port received quite a few visual improvements:
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 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 resolutions with the game's default ultra graphics quality settings.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX graphics cards provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| 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 choose 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).
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 460 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti level. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the level Radeon R7 370 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 580 or GTX 1660 solutions .
At a resolution of 2560x1440, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon R9 380X or GeForce GTX 970 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon R9 290 or GeForce GTX 970 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by solutions like Radeon RX Vega 64 or GeForce GTX 1080.
At a resolution of 3840x2160, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 Ti level. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the level Radeon RX Vega 64 or GeForce GTX 1080 .
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at resolutions of 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with various anti-aliasing settings were taken as the indicator. By default, the graph displays the most up-to-date solutions. Other graphics cards are added and removed from the chart at the reader's request.
