Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Review

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a 2021 third-person shooter platform game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5. It is the ninth main instalment in the Ratchet & Clank series and a sequel to Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus. Rift Apart was announced in June 2020 and was released on June 11, 2021. A Windows port by Nixxes Software was released on July 26, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Insomniac Games in-house engine. We test using the Very High preset, Very High ray tracing, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Unfortunately, Ratchet and Clank is yet another game where I encountered game-breaking issues. As shown in the video, every time I loaded into my save game to run a benchmark, the game slowed to a crawl and stuttered along for about 10 seconds, before it jolted into life and ran at seemingly normal frame rates. I have no idea why this was happening but it of course wrecks the benchmark numbers, and goes down as another issue that needs fixing.
