Despite upscaling the game, rather than offering true native 4K and missing key graphical settings such as high-quality tessellation, the Pro offers a sizable upgrade to the PS4 and Xbox One versions. The PS4 Pro offers a more cost-effective way to play Mass Effect at 4K. Although the 4K version looks great, even the most powerful PCs will be forced to play Mass Effect at a 30fps cap in 4K with the settings maxed and HDR (high dynamic range) on. Jumping to 1440p and 4K and the differences become even more pronounced, but it will lead to some compromises.
Mass effect 3 release date 1080p#
I managed to get the game running at 45fps at 1080p on the GTX 1060-powered Razer Blade gaming laptop on its highest settings – although I did have to reduce them to “high” to hit 60fps. The game also works fairly well on lower-end hardware running at 1080p. They include additional plants and foliage and feel significantly more atmospheric thanks to improved geometry complexity, higher resolution shadows, and better quality horizon-based ambient occlusion. Not only did the PC model (tested on the Corsair One, GTX 1080, Intel Core i7 configuration) leap past console versions’ 30fps cap to 60fps, creating a much smoother playing experience, it also looked jaw-dropping.Īlthough the facial animations still leave a lot to be desired, character modelling is more refined and the cast’s skin and clothing has more texture detail in close-ups a character’s pores and skin blemishes are visible.Īlien worlds are busier and more detailed. The Xbox One and PS4 versions of Andromeda are pretty, but jumping from playing the game on console to PC is palpable.Ĭomparing the Xbox One and PC versions with max settings at 1080p, there’s no competition. PC is the platform on which you should play Mass Effect Andromeda – as long as you have the hardware to play it at 1080p or above.
With the launch of Mass Effect Andromeda, for the first time in a good while I think the PC has a killer argument for potential buyers ignoring consoles and exploring space using a proper gaming rig. Mass Effect Andromeda on PC by Alastair Stevenson
