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

Ghost of Tsushima does fare better and at 1440p the RTX 5090 manages to average 164fps, giving it a 25% lead over the RTX 4090, and a 48% advantage over the 7900 XTX.

Stepping up to 4K gives the RTX 5090 more breathing room, its average of 111fps works out as a 31% gain over the 4090, and it's now 60% ahead of AMD's fastest consumer graphics card.
