The Last of Us Part I PC running well with the RTX 4090 at Max Settings Native 4K 60 FPS

CG writes: Some might have you believe the Iron Galaxy’s PC port of Naughty Dog’s aged The Last of Us Part I just doesn’t run well at all, high-end or low-end PC. Well, we would beg to differ as we showcase the game running max settings in native 4K, maintaining a steady 60fps throughout where it matters. We didn’t encounter any glitches either, but those could be reserved for later in the game past the 1 hour 20 minutes mark the video plays to. That said, we are using an RTX 4090 with an i5 13600K CPU running the game from an SSD. Shaders also totally compiled. No DLSS either to mask things, but we are recording using shadowplay at 130K bitrate (which inevitably sucks some performance). Aside from keeping the depth-of-field, we did remove CA, and the film grain to provide a relatively clean look.

According to metacritic and twitter, last of us isn’t running well on any pc hardware. The images have been hilarious tho.

thecodingart390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

Nah, it’s mostly not running well on mid and AMD hardware. I’d go as far to say that PC gamers who haven’t unkept their rigs in 5-10 years or saved money with cheaper AMD configurations are the ones complaining.

It’s more common for the equivalent argument of “why doesn’t this run well on my base ps4 model” to bubble up on PC.

Runs well on my AMD Apu in my ps5 :)

MadLad390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

My friend can run (the better looking) Resident Evil 4 remake cranked up, 1440p/60fps with no dips. He has a 2060ti and solid i7.
Last of Us? Fluctuating between 30-50fps, and dips into the 20s at times. Keep all of the glitches aside, I watched him actually turn down settings and watched the game run worse than on higher settings.

This is the definition of not even trying to optimize the game at all. It's like they dumped the code, checked to see if it booted up, and then called it a day.

I could probably power through it too, being I have a 3080 and a higher end i9, but that shouldn't be needed here.

Congratulations to them though. They are now standing shoulder to shoulder with the other absolute worst PC ports of all time. Arkham Knight, GTA4, Dark Souls, Saints Row 2, and now Last of Us.

Mmm its actually struggling a lot more on Nvidia cards due to the horrible memory management the game has, so anything with 8gbs is really struggling. Not sure where you are getting that AMD cards are struggling more

That said, the vast majority of cards are struggling. Even a 4090 with a 13900k has less performance than what you would expect, has some worse shadow quality than ps5 for some reason and, can get close to 14gb VRAM utilization for some reason and has some really high CPU utilization when practically nothing is happening

Yeah the people making the excuses either don't have a PC and are lying or are genuinely that big a fanboy they can't ever criticise Sony.

The reason why this port sucks is because ND didn't have a hand in it, they gave it to the company that was responsible for the PC port of Arkham Knight.

Great choice Sony, great choice.

repsahj390d ago

Here's the hard part about the PC port, you need a version of the game that works well with all PC builds, configurations, combinations of components, and brands. Not like the console version which has the same design.

MadLad390d ago

The vast majority of other releases don't seem to have much of a problem making that happen.

thecodingart390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

The last few months have been nothing but complaints on stutter, VRAM or SSD usage across various builds in the PC world. Dead Space, Returnal, Hogwarts, and TLoU we’re all criticized for pretty much the same things on different rigs and at different levels…

Hell, ANYTHING running on the unreal engine has been taking heat for shader stuff.

Crows90390d ago

Hard? It's only been done since the beginning of gaming on PC....quite a long time now.

Its running great on my 5900x , 4090.. Was expecting it to be bad but it has been running silky smooth for me.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast85d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs82d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast82d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs81d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast81d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer85d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6985d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs82d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6982d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger129d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2385d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid129d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast129d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
