To get that out of the way, we've seen a few other reviewers benchmark this game showing reasonable minimum or 1% low performance for 8GB graphics cards when using the ultra preset at 1080p, and even 1440p. VRAM usage is high here, we wouldn't say it was notably higher than other sections of the game though, which makes our results a little strange when compared to other reviews. That's because we've wasted around 10 hours watching the game build shaders, and that ate quite heavily into our benchmark time.įor testing we're using The Woods section of the game, as this appeared to be one of the more graphically demanding areas with a lot of foliage. Granted, it's only about half as detailed as we'd like with 26 graphics cards rather than 50+. Rather they provide ultra preset recommendations at 4K, though they do recommend 8GB graphics cards for 1080p high.Īnyway, it's not super clear, so that's why we're here to provide you with a detailed GPU benchmark. We can understand the confusion around this issue though as the developers' own recommended PC specs don't say you can use an 8GB graphics card at 1080p using the ultra preset. The Last of Us Part I will happily consume over 12 GB of VRAM at 1080p using the Ultra quality preset, and this isn't just allocation, rather the game appears to actually use that much memory, and this means trouble for those of you with 8GB graphics cards trying to play using the ultra quality settings.
Those running a GeForce RTX 3070, for example, are probably accustomed to maxing out games at 1080p and still receiving a smooth high refresh experience, but that won't be the case here. Most gamers like to dial up the quality settings and when doing so in The Last of Us Part I, you'll quickly run out of VRAM on graphics cards with just 8GB, even at 1080p. In The Last of Us Part I, you'll quickly run out of VRAM on graphics cards with just 8GB, even at 1080p. The primary complaints from gamers have been horrible stuttering and constant crashing, and having now run 26 different graphics cards through the game, we think the reason for this is quite obvious: it appears to be a VRAM issue. Today we're taking a look at the game's GPU performance even though controversy centers around poor performance, with many gamers taking the time to express their disappointment in the form of a negative Steam review (over 10k negative reviews as of writing), and this is unusual because us gamers are normally a really positive bunch. Game developer Naughty Dog celebrated the release of The Last of Us Part 1 on PC less than a week ago, but based on early feedback, perhaps they should have spent more time fine-tuning the port than planning their victory laps.
