Quality settings to High to
avoid exceeding 8GB of
VRAM usage, as many cards—
including the RTX 2060—fall
under that capacity.
Shadow of War reacts well
to hardware that supports
asynchronous compute
capabilities, which finally debuted
in the RTX series. As a result, the
RTX 2060 opens up a much more
commanding lead over even the
GTX 1070 Ti in this game.F1 2018
The latest in a long line of
successful games, F1 2018 ($60
on Humble at go.pcworld.com/
f118) is a benchmarking gem,
supplying a wide array of both
graphical and benchmarking
options—making it a much more
reliable option than the Forza
series. It’s built on the fourth
version of Codemasters’ buttery-
smooth Ego game engine. We
test two laps on the Australia
course, with clear skies.Ashes of the Singularity:
