Graphics wise, Outlast 2 looks good but does not come close to Resident Evil VII. And as you may have suspected, there were no performance differences between our simulated quad-core and our six-core systems. This may explain the performance differences between our simulated dual-core system with and without Hyper Threading. Two of them appear to be doing most of the work, while the third one is being used periodically. The game appears to be using three CPU threads. As soon as we enabled Hyper Threading, our overall performance increased (63fps minimum and 110fps average) and all the frame pacing issues were resolved. Now while our simulated dual-core CPU was able to run it with a minimum of 57fps and an average of 100fps – with Hyper Threading disabled – we noticed major frame pacing issues. In order to find out how the game performs on a variety of CPUs, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. Outlast 2 does not require a high-end CPU in order to be enjoyed. While we never dropped below 60fps, it’s really puzzling as to what is actually causing this odd behaviour. As we can see, in this particular scene both or GPU and CPU are underused for no apparent reason, resulting in underwhelming performance. However, we were unable to get a constant 120fps experience as the game suffers from some optimization issues.

On the other hand, our GTX980Ti had no trouble offering a stable 60fps experience at 1080p and on High settings. While SLI scaling wasn’t ideal, we were able to get a minimum of 64fps and an average of 95fps. With SLI enabled, our GTX690 was able to offer a constant 60fps experience at 1080p on High settings. By dropping a number of settings, we were able to get a stable 60fps experience. In Single-GPU mode, our GTX690 was able to run the game with a minimum of 50fps and an average of 65fps. Well, that is true, however owners of such GPUs won’t be able to run the game at High settings. Red Barrels claimed that an NVIDIA GTX660 should be enough for gaming at 1080p with 60fps. And as if that wasn’t enough, there is no option to disable that annoying Chromatic Aberration effect. Unfortunately the game comes with two blurry AA solutions FXAA and TAA. In addition, you can enable or disable Motion Blur, V-Sync, Fullscreen and Triple Buffering.

PC gamers can adjust the game’s resolution, the quality of Textures, Texture Filtering, Shadows, Geometry, Fog, Effects and Anti-Aliasing. Outlast 2 comes with very limited graphics settings to tweak. While NVIDIA has not included yet an official SLI profile for this title in its latest driver, NVIDIA owners can enable it by creating a new profile and using this SLI compatibility bit: “0x002121F5”.

The game has just been released on the PC, so it’s time to see how it runs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (turbo boosted at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest WHQL version of the GeForce drivers. This is a game that a lot of horror fans have been waiting for and, to be honest, we were really surprised by its relatively low official PC requirements. Outlast 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game Outlast that is set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting.
