Gothic 1 Remake runs at 60+ FPS on a wide range of GPUs at 1080p Very High settings. At 4K, RTX 5090 delivers 65- 74 FPS native, while DLSS 4.5 MFG pushes over 100 FPS.

GAME PERFORMANCE

Gothic 1 Remake runs smoothly on a wide range of graphics cards at 1080p resolution. The game maintains 60+ frames per second on Very High settings, making it accessible to most PC gamers.

DLSS 4.5 and MFG boost 4K framerates over 100 FPS

THQ Nordic released the remake earlier this month on PC. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and uses Lumen for global illumination and reflections. It supports 4.5, 3.1, and 1.3 upscaling technologies.

  • Engine: Unreal Engine 5
  • Graphics API: DirectX 12 (implied)
  • Upscalers: NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 1.3

At 1440p with Very High settings, top NVIDIA GPUs still achieve 60+ FPS. The AMD RX 9070XT averages 70 FPS, while the RX 7900XTX averages 68 FPS, though both can drop to 49 and 47 FPS respectively. Native 4K at Very High settings requires an RTX 5090 to hit 60+ FPS, with a minimum of 65 FPS and an average of 74 FPS.

Using DLSS 4.5 at Quality mode on the RTX 5090 at 4K Overdose settings boosts performance from 37/42 FPS to 55/64 FPS. Enabling MFG X2 pushes framerates over 100 FPS. The reviewer recommends using MFG to improve smoothness. Traversal stutters are minor and infrequent.
