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

The Finals is supported on Windows 10/11.

 

The preferred and primary graphics API for The Finals is DX12 .

GAME ENGINE

Information about the graphics engine and graphics of "THE FINALS" is somewhat contradictory in various sources. Some evidence indicates that the game is developed using a custom engine created by Embark Studios, a studio founded by former Battlefield developers, allowing for realistic and dynamic environmental ^destruction1 ​. However, other sources report that the game uses the Unreal Engine, although the engine version varies from UE4 to UE5 in different reports.

Nanite and Lumen technologies, part of Unreal Engine 5, can be used in "THE FINALS" to create highly detailed and realistic graphics, including realistic characters, environments and lighting. These technologies may have been adapted for use in a custom engine or a previous version of Unreal Engine if this information is accurate.

The game offers advanced graphical capabilities, especially in terms of dynamic environmental destruction, which is arguably one of THE FINALS' key graphical features. This underscores Embark Studios' ambition to create a visually appealing and technically advanced gaming product.

Exact information about which graphics engine is being used in "THE FINALS" is difficult to determine from the available data and may require official confirmation from Embark Studios for clarity.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

 

In THE FINALS, graphics settings play a significant role in ensuring optimal performance and visual quality. The difference between minimum and maximum quality settings can have a significant impact on your gameplay and overall gaming experience.

At minimum settings, such as low quality textures, effects, vegetation display and global illumination, players can experience high frames per second (FPS), which makes the game more responsive and provides a smoother gaming experience, especially on less powerful systems. However, the visual quality in this case will be significantly degraded, which may reduce the visual satisfaction of the game.

At maximum settings, including high resolution, ray tracing enabled, high quality textures and effects, players will receive more colorful and detailed graphics, which improves visual perception and immersion in the gaming atmosphere. However, this can result in reduced performance, especially on less powerful systems, resulting in lower frames per second (FPS) and possible lag.

Certain settings, such as resolution, vertical synchronization (VSync), resolution scaling method (such as NVIDIA DLSS), and field of view, can also play a key role in balancing performance and visual quality. For example, disabling VSync and using NVIDIA DLSS technology can help increase FPS without significantly degrading visual quality ⁵ ​.

Overall, the choice between minimum and maximum quality settings will depend on the player's personal preferences and the capabilities of his system. Some players may prefer high performance at the expense of graphical quality, while others may be willing to sacrifice some performance for higher-quality graphics.

 Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080 , 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings.

GPU TEST

In the video card test, 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 powerful 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 2060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of  the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 solutions .
