All graphics cards from Nvidia end up around the same frame rate, regardless of whether it is a Geforce RTX 3090 or GTX 1080 Ti. With the performance figures in hand, it is clear. For today’s modern games it gets a little tricky when games are often limited by the processor instead of graphics card, which can often mean lower frame rates than normal. The game that started the entire series is based on Unreal Engine 3, which in turn was launched in 2004 and had a few years on its neck already when Mass Effect came to Xbox 360. The drivers used are Geforce Game Ready Driver WHQL 466.47 and Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.4.1 WHQL, both of which have added optimizations for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. The frame rate is intercepted by CapframeX over a period of 55 seconds. For the graphics cards, the undersigned has selected the latest generation from both AMD and Nvidia, but also looked in stores for older models to see how old graphics cards stand in a hot trilogy. As usual, the editors’ usual system is used for graphics card reviews with an overclocked Core i9-10900K in the center.
