God of War only allows you to run in a window if you're not running at the Windows default resolution-you can't set it to 1080p fullscreen on a 1440p display in-game, although you set Windows to that resolution and then launch it. While there aren't too many settings to play around with, the core engine has come across well, and that means smooth framerates are within the grasp of anyone that has a fairly up-to-date machine.Īs ever, if you're struggling with low framerates, then dropping the resolution is a good idea. You can finally turn off the vomit-inducing motion blur, as well as kill the 'film grain' while you're at it. The fact that the PS4's graphical settings have been labelled 'Original' means that you know you're enjoying a better visual experience just by selecting 'High' or 'Ultra'-something I suggest every PC gamer does. God of War has enjoyed a great port to the PC. This isn't exactly hard, as there are only seven settings, and some of those do very little, but it's unusual not to be able to use a preset as a starting point. No, instead you need to configure it from scratch using the 'Custom' preset.
One thing that is a little odd with this port of God of War is that you can't switch to a preset and then modify it yourself, so as to hit the perfect balance between speed and quality. And you really don't want to go over your graphics card's memory budget for this, as that can mean hobbling your graphics card's performance due to not having enough. At 4K, for example, you're looking at just over 4GB for the lowest settings up to 7GB for the Ultra settings. One thing of note is that the four presets do require different amounts of graphics card VRAM.
It's a pretty good looking game across the board though, so don't be put off dropping down from High to Original for example so as to enjoy a smoother experience. These configure the seven graphics quality settings to make for a smoother experience at the cost of an overall tradeoff in the visuals. The minimum level graphics required to play the game include either the Nvidia GTX 960 or the AMD R9 290X, both of which come with 4GB of VRAM.If you're looking for a quick and easy fix to your frame rate woes, then the presets, as ever, provide a crude but essential answer. It requires 70GB of storage space along with DirectX version 11.
God of War PC minimum requirements includes 8GB of RAM paired with an Intel i5-2500k or with an AMD Ryzen 3 1200.
