Call of Duty Vanguard Beta runs with constant 60fps in 4K/Max Settings on an NVIDIA RTX3080

DSOGaming writes: "The Open Beta phase for Call of Duty Vanguard is a go and we went ahead and tested it to see how it runs. We also captured a number of screenshots in 4K/Max Settings. These screenshots will give you an idea of how the beta looks maxed out."

Only 60?

To be clear I have nothing against 60fps gaming but you'd expect a 3080 to get higher performance

john21381d ago

Most of the time it's above 70fps but there are some drops in some specific areas to 65fps.

phoenixwing1381d ago

I know it's a beta but cod betas are basically the final game minus some minor tweaking so I feel it should be doing better. If this is an indicator of things to come the 4000 series or even 5000 from nvidia might be more preferable than buying a card atm

NovusTerminus1381d ago

Maxed out includes ray tracing, which just hits performance hard no matter what, also consoles tend to use upscaling tricks to get into 4k.

Natural 4k with raytracing is hard, and I don't know if these tests used any DLSS to help the framerate (normally MAX settings excludes DLSS) so by using that you could get a big uplift in performance.

phoenixwing1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

This all goes back to ray tracing being too much of a performance hog for my taste. I think we are one gen too early with it. I own a 2070 super because it's a good card not really for the ray tracing per se though. Gonna hold onto my card for awhile. I game at 2k and that's enough for my small monitor. I think I'm starting to get too old all the stuff kids today want feel like marketing instead of real game changers to me. 4k is overrated and ray tracing destroys fps. The only thing I've actually liked was the hdr being added to games.

NovusTerminus1381d ago

@phoenixwing

I'm also in 2k as well, and while I think RTX is not fully worth the cost of performance yet, but all good things take time and the reflections and shadows of Ray Tracing are absolutely amazing. I think it's better to introduce it now to build up to when it will inevitably become the normal within a few more years because without using Ray Tracing these RTX cards are pumping out some serious performance.

Sarcasm1380d ago

This game doesn't have any Ray Tracing or DLSS, so tests are purely conventional

MecheSlays1380d ago

Raytracing isn't in the beta. So no not including ray tracing. its pretty unoptimized i feel like.

Well it is at native 4k and max visuals. Itd be 30fps with raytracing which I dont think the beta has. These kinds of visuals require tons of power. This is pretty much the norm for the 3080 for modern AAA gaming. High framerate gaming is usually played at 1080 or 1440. Im afraid 4k max visuals at 100+fps gaming is still too early unless you turned the visuals to completely low which in most games can look atrocious.

I myself game at 1440 at 60-144fps high to max which imo is the best if you want both visual and performance gaming. I have a 3070.

ProjectVulcan1380d ago

Then you realise to get 120Hz on Warzone PS5 runs the game best case scenario 1/3 the resolution of what you see here, native 4K.

CaptainHenry9161380d ago (Edited 1380d ago )

"Native" 4K 60 fps in max settings is actually impressive. Not dynamic 4K

I feel like the internet doesn’t realize how computationally demanding native 4k can be

onisama1380d ago

But the game is terrible including the graphics

Despite Negative Reception, Call Of Duty: Vanguard Has Sold Over 30 Million Copies

Call of Duty: Vanguard has sold over 30 million copies, a milestone confirmed by the game's former social media strategist.

DarXyde449d ago

That's the thing about Call of Duty: it gets panned online, but still sells gangbusters.

Begs the question: is the online community complaining truly a vocal minority, or are people just unprincipled? Both I'm sure, but to what extent?

VENOM OF SINS449d ago

It's all about the hive mind, and I'm no exception to it. We buy each installment pretty much every year, regardless of the next installment being an improvement or not. Sad to say, but it is what it is.

Lexreborn2449d ago

People know what they like, it’s really that simple. The people who play CoD love CoD and unlike the minority gamers they will support it regardless.

The vocal people online will make sure a game burns they don’t like without even trying it. But, the CoD crowd will buy the game PLAY it and give feedback that goes towards their games growth.

And as long as they can get online and shoot people they will continue to support it.

CPTN MITCHELL449d ago

Cod is not the same anymore, I didn't buy this one or mw3 and I no longer care about the franchise... People complain about Spider-Man 2 as being a copy paste but cod is the same game every single year and they're ok with that.

Lexreborn2449d ago

@cptn you further validate the point, people who enjoy it keep playing, and people like you who don’t stop. But 30 million is greater than your displeasure of the game.

And if they like it, they’ll keep playing and paying.

anast449d ago

Most of them are young people that look up to characters like Dr. Disrespect.

Tacoboto449d ago

"are people just unprincipled?"

I mean... You're on this site. You've seen the discourse over COD, how awful it is, yet how aful Microsoft was for taking COD away from PS gamers, despite not once saying they wanted to do that.

Another similar one - fans of BG3 since day one refusing to buy Alan Wake 2 because it doesn't have a physical edition. Or anyone calling 30fps unacceptable but is enjoying DD2. Or anyone complaining about bloated open world games yet is complaining about shorter, focused narratives.

Neonridr448d ago

they haven't taken CoD away from PS Gamers.

WiiU-Dude449d ago

I've said something like this many times. When something is huge...it could be music, video games etc, it is fashionable to start the hate. I have loved every iteration of COD. Each has it's own merits. I have enjoyed them all and have never had a problem proclaiming it even when people heckled me. Oh well. People gonna hate.

RhinoGamer88449d ago

Just like Madden and Fifa (FC), the audience is conditioned to buy every year by EA and ATVI.

VersusDMC449d ago

Why talk about Vanguard? It was still the best selling game of that year. And at a 70+ metacritic.

Modern Warfare 3 last year was the 2nd best selling game of the year(been awhile since it wasn't 1st) and at a 50+ metacritic.

It would be cool to see the sales for all the call of duties to see if there's a trend and to compare.

jznrpg449d ago

I have only bought 2-3 CoD’s ever and the last time I bought one was at least a decade ago. The only reason I bought it back then was to play with my Son who was still in high school. I got some copies for free here and there from friends but I would only play the campaign. I’ve been burned out on PVP since Battlefield Vietnam on PC , Planetside stuff like that. I do enjoy PVE if done well but I doubt I’ll ever play a PVP game again unless they do something totally different than what’s been done before and I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

I have friends that buy every CoD and I ask them why do they still play after 20 years of the same game? Most of them say because of their online friends or real life friends that play it. Not because the game is good or it’s better than the last.

TheColbertinator449d ago

Battlefield Vietnam was so much fun

ocelot07449d ago

Maybe because people pre ordered it. I have pre ordered every COD since COD MW 2019. I enjoyed mw and cold war. Didn't play beta to vanguard I just pre ordered it like 2 days before release and regretted it a few days after release as it was bad.

I'd only thumb this up if it meant SBMM was being entirely removed from unranked. Otherwise the only difference between ranked and unranked is the visibility of where the game deems your skill level.

gamer9969d ago

Exactly, we're already playing ranked play in quickplay, cod has zero clue what they're doing on quickplay vs ranked. All they need to do is copy other popular games but they can't figure it out

REDGUM970d ago

Don't laugh but I don't understand as I'm a casual gamer but what's the difference between the MW2 multiplayer that I'm playing online now compared to this ranked play etc? What is ranked play. I thought I was playing with a rank that increases at certain point stages.

TheEnigma313970d ago

Ranked means they will match you with similar skilled players. Like a level 50 will match with level 55 and a level 10 will match with a level 5ish.

Welshy970d ago (Edited 970d ago )

It's not account level that will be matched, but skill level via some MMR/ELO system. There are level 2 smurfs out there who will stomp lvl 55's.

I'm not entirely sure on how they'll grade it, whether it will be bronze/silver/gold etc like Rocket League or an ELO number like Siege. I suppose functionally it's the same thing so it doesn't matter.

gamer9969d ago

Is it going to be crap like all their previous ranked play? Timed events that place you in a ladder and you move up and down in that ladder? Just give us a normal ranked play like every other comp game please, let us move up and down between the ranks based on ELO, for the whole season
