With the shadow of The Tomb Raider (Sottr) for a somewhat long time, this appears to be the case for ENIX and Crystal Dynamics square out of the bed with Denuvo. As Bit-Tech previously mentioned, Denuvo Anti-Tamper technology It comes at a priceAnd although it may be attractive at the time of the launch of the game, the barter between the income of game sales and the leadership of anti -technology technology should now be at a pivotal point.
the The dark side of the games Denuvo removed from Sottr last week, and at the weekend I decided to test the difference in performance between the Denuvo version and the recently released version while strengthening anti -technology technology. Many users complain that their central processing unit courses are soaked by the such as Denuvo, although publishers usually deny any major effect, so it is good that such versions to find “truth”.
Please note that the unpopular version of the Sottr has been “retracted” on Steam, but it is still available in the Beta Build department in the store. DSOG tested both versions of the game on the following computer system specifications:
- Intel i9 9900K processor,
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU,
- 16 GB of DDR4 RAM in 3600 MHz,
- Windows 10 64 -bit, using GeForce 496.13 driver.
SOTTR tests were performed in each of 1080p/highest settings (without ray tracking or DLSS), and 1080 pixels/lowest settings and the integrated standard in the search for importance. DLSS was not used as in the correction notes, it has been observed that it was improved between the game versions with and without Denuvo Tech. No other improvements to the Sans-Anti-Tamper version were noticed.
DSOG noticed that the biggest changes in tire rates between game versions were when using the lower settings. In this case, the average rate rates are observed on average of 17 frames per second. Moreover, with HT disabled, a difference of 30 frames per second is observed.
What is mentioned above indicates that, yes, Denuvo will accommodate your CPU courses, which affects the performance of the game, and those who can less than such a strike (for example a older processor with fewer basic number, without HT) will be launched in the worse. I have seen similar reports that the GeForce driver has public expenditures, which affects low -power systems. Nafidia, public expenditures driver It can be a contributing factor here with HT Off as well.
