With 2TB of storage available to it, it offers us more than enough storage for even the largest of PC games. PCIe 4.0 devices are an obvious choice for those who want SSDs with the most potential throughput, making Corsair's MP600 SSD a great option for us.

Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will make fast SSD storage a baseline feature of new gaming systems. SSD Storage - Corsair MP600 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSDĪs we mentioned previously, future games are going to require fast NVMe storage. With this speed in mind, we decided to opt for Corsair's Dominator Platinum RGB series of DDR4 modules, as it offers us a great aesthetic, has modules that offer our optimal memory speeds and has relatively tight timings given its clock speeds. Having chosen a Ryzen processor for our new test systems, we needed capable memory modules which offered clock speed that would allow us to get the most out of our Ryzen processor.ģ600MHz memory is the "sweet-spot" for Ryzen 3000 series processors, offering high levels of memory bandwidth while settings AMD's Infinity Fabric speeds to optimal levels.

With X570 we also know that we can upgrade to Zen 3/Ryzen 4000 should we ever need to. With ASUS' ROG X570 Crosshair VII Formula, we know that we have a motherboard that has capable VRMs to withstand the punishments that a hardware test system must face. Intel's current offerings do not offer PCIe 4.0 support, and we cannot build a new test system knowing that it will be outdated as soon as games start to utilise faster storage mediums. With the next-generation of consoles coming with Zen 2 processors and support for PCIe 4.0 storage, it was logical to choose a Ryzen-based test platform. Does this system contain the features that new games will require, and are we choosing the right CPU platform for the job? Will this system stand up to the test of time. There is a lot to consider when building a new games testing system. More information about this system is available here, where we have detailed why we have moved to Ryzen for our GPU and games testing.ĬPU & Motherboard - AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Formula

In our testing, we used the latest graphics drivers from both AMD and Nvidia. With Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, we will be using our new Games and Graphics Card test system, which is powered by AMD's Ryzen 9 3950X processor and PCIe 4.0 storage. Testing Methodology - Our New Test System TAA addresses this issue within the remaster, though this will make the game appear less sharp in some instances. Within the original PC version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, aliasing is visible within the game at all resolutions, even 4K. The addition on TAA removes the aliasing which is present within the game's original PC version though this form of AA does add a little blur to the game.
Now, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit features a huge number of new graphical options, which allows gamers to adjust the title in whatever way they like. That said, the technical limitations of the game's original PC version are likely what prevented high framerate support from becoming a reality. Sadly, the game's maximum framerate is 60FPS, which while smooth fails to take advantage of the performance that's offered by today's high-end PC hardware. Now, PC gamers can play the game with ultra-wide resolution and with graphical options which extend beyond the original game's Shadow options. The original PC version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has very few graphic options, and EA's remaster of the game changes that. Like many remasters, the game's remastered look often appear similar to our memories of the original game, removing the potential wow factor of the game's graphical improvements. The game's enhanced models and world-level graphics improvements are also welcome, though some gamers will find these changes hard to spot without side-by-side comparisons. The primary benefits of this new version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the game's enhanced draw distances, improved Anti-Aliasing and its wider variety of graphics options. For PC gamers, 60 FPS will remain a hard limit for the game, as higher refresh rates are not supported within the title, like the game's original PC version. With Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, gamers will be treated with cross-play support in multiplayer, enhanced visuals, additional content, and smooth 60 FPS gameplay. Remakes and Remasters have become increasingly popular over the past number of years, acting as a way to deliver classic titles to new audiences while also allowing older games to be re-experienced with higher framerates, enhanced visuals and higher resolutions.
