The Open Beta phase for Marvel’s Avengers has been launched and PC gamers can finally test this game before buying it. And although Nixxes Software has released a performance update for that, the game still suffers from major optimization issues.
Let’s start with the bad news. NVIDIA’s most powerful GPU, the NVIDIA RTX2080Ti, is unable to provide a 60fps experience in 4K … even at low settings. Yeap, you read that right. Even if you use low settings, you will see framerate drops below 45 fps. Below you can find some screenshots showing these underwhelming performance on the NVIDIA RTX2080Ti.
What’s really funny here is that the performance difference between settings for Ultra and High is only 6fps. We seriously do not know what is happening here. Theoretically, the game should run better. That yeah, Nixxes will have to further optimize this game via post-launch patches (because let’s face it, the team will not be able to fix these performance issues until the time the game launches next month).
From the outside, the game’s graphical settings are brushed off. That, if something else happens in the background that hampers the GPU performance. I mean, the NVIDIA RTX2080Ti can always maintain a constant 30fps experience in 4K / Ultra settings. So basically we are seeing an improvement of 15-30 fps when using the Low settings, which is as underwhelming as it can get. Bottom line is that you can not get 4K / 60fps experience in this game. We know some PC gamers are willing to sacrifice settings to reach that target 4K / 60fps. However, that may not really happen in this game, even if you use an RTX2080Ti.
On the other hand, our NVIDIA RTX2080Ti was able to run the game at 2560 × 1440 on Ultra settings with mostly 60fps. We noticed some drops up to 45 fps when there were chaotic field battles. However, the game is more than comfortable with these settings, and its AA solution is also great. So we strongly suggest using a 1440p resolution with your high-end GPUs.
It is also worth noting that we did not experience any major stuttering issues. There were a few minor bumps here and there, especially as the game loaded new areas. However, everything was smooth for the majority of the game.
Here are some screenshots of the game at 1440p on Ultra settings.
