That's perhaps too subjective, but at low and medium settings, shadows and textures are dithered in a way that's very obvious and distracting.
It can also look pretty awful when you turn down certain settings. That was a long time ago, and the short demo was obviously very early, but 16 months later there's still no ray tracing for the initial launch.Ī Piranha representative told me that a ray tracing patch is planned for January, so we'll see how that goes, but even without ray tracing effects MechWarrior 5 can be quite demanding.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries was also one of a select few games that Nvidia trotted onto the stage at Gamescom 2018 to demonstrate what ray tracing can do to enhance the look and feel of a game.
As our performance analysis partner, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries on a variety of AMD and Nvidia GPUs, as well as AMD and Intel CPUs.
