Secret Mode has launched its new Star Wars racing recreation, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, on PC. Powered by Unreal Engine 5.7.4.0, it’s time to benchmark it and look at its efficiency on PC.
For our benchmarks, I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, RX 9070XT, in addition to NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. I additionally used Home windows 10 64-bit, in addition to the GeForce 617.14 and the Radeon Adrenalin Version 26.9.2 drivers.
Fuse Video games has added just a few graphics settings to tweak. PC avid gamers can alter the standard of Reflections, Foliage, Shadows, Textures, View Distance, and extra. The sport additionally helps NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2.1.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer doesn’t have a built-in benchmark instrument. It does have a “Benchmark” setting, however this solely adjustments your in-game settings. It doesn’t take a look at how properly the sport runs with totally different settings. So, for our checks, I used this space. This seemed to be extra demanding than the race tracks. So, it ought to give us a good suggestion of how the remainder of the sport runs.
Nearly all of our GPUs had been capable of run the sport at over 60FPS at 1080p/Epic Settings. Even our dated NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti was capable of push a mean of 64FPS. There have been some drops to 56FPS, so for a very easy expertise you will have a G-Sync monitor.
Our prime 5 GPUs had no bother in any respect pushing over 60FPS at 1440p/Epic Settings. As for Native 4K/Epic Settings, the one GPU that was capable of supply a relentless 60FPS expertise was the NVIDIA RTX 5090. The NVIDIA RTX 4090 was additionally capable of push a mean of 69FPS. Nonetheless, there have been some drops to 54FPS. A G-Sync monitor will supply a easy expertise, even with these drops. Or you should utilize DLSS to spice up your efficiency.
Graphics-wise, Star Wars: Galactic Racer appears to be like nice. It makes use of each Lumen and Nanite, and also you received’t be getting a number of pop-ins throughout your races. There may be actually nothing to complain about right here. All autos are extremely detailed, and the environments look wonderful.
All in all, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a superb showcase for Unreal Engine 5. The sport can run easily on a variety of GPUs, and it doesn’t require a high-end CPU. It doesn’t undergo from any stuttering points, and it has correct KB&M on-screen prompts. Sure, this can be a racing recreation, so it isn’t as demanding as an open-world motion recreation. However who cares? What issues is that it appears to be like and runs nice!
