System Shock Remake PC Performance Analysis

Prime Matter released System Shock Remake last month. And yes, I know we are late. But hey, better late than never, right? Powered by Unreal Engine 4, it’s time to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.

For this PC Performance Analysis, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580, RX Vega 64,  RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080 and RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 536.23 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 23.5.2 drivers. Moreover, we’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.

Nightdive Studios has added a few graphics settings to tweak. PC players can adjust the quality of Textures, Fog, Post-Process, Ambient Occlusion, Shaders, Shadows, Effects and Foliage. The game also supports NVIDIA’s DLSS 2 AI-upscaling tech.

System Shock Remake does not require a high-end CPU in order to be enjoyed. While testing the game, we saw it using mostly four CPU threads. Without SMT, our simulated dual-core system was unable to provide a smooth gaming experience due to severe stuttering issues. When we enabled SMT, we were able to get a constant 150fps experience at 1080p/Max Settings.
