Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan.Ghost of Tsushima was released for the PlayStation 4 in July 2020, and an expanded version for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, subtitled Director's Cut and featuring the Iki Island expansion, was released in August 2021. A Windows version of Director's Cut, developed by Nixxes Software, was released in May 2024. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Sucker Punch in-house engine. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

Ghost of Tsushima continues to be a strong title for AMD GPUs – or more accurately, it's a nightmare game for Nvidia hardware for some reason. The 9060 XT 16GB is 14% faster than both 5060 Ti models at 1080p for instance, hitting 77fps on average.

1440p shows a similar trend, although shoutout to the Intel B580 for also hugely over-performing in this game!
