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 installment 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, DX12 API.

As for Ratchet and Clank, Nvidia GPUs still struggle with the 1% lows in this game, which we had previously heard was due to the game's DirectStorage implementation. A workaround is possible but we test without modifying any game files. At 1440p for instance, the 4070 Super is 21% faster than the RX 7800 XT on average, but barely any faster in terms of the 1% lows.

This does improve at 4K however, where the 4070 Super is 22% faster than the 7800 XT on average but now 15% ahead in terms of the 1% lows. We're again looking at a boost in the 12% region relative to the vanilla 4070.
