 While running the newly built in benchmark you can clearly see that the Nvidia HBAO+ Gameworks tech affects 11.63% of my overall Fury X performance. Noticed that when I use the built in “AO” that Crystal Dynamics provided my score increases. Could this be why several benchmarking sites didn’t disable HBAO+? Who knows and I understand that it takes a while to benchmark and get all of the data ready for readers like you. However, this is a built in benchmarking tool and it takes less than 15 seconds to change the settings. I think this explains why we need to see more than one blanket “graphical” setting that the developers give us.

  Moving on to the DX11 4K benchmarks, the same issues are experienced here as well. HBAO+ causes issues with AMD GPUs and perhaps some Nvidia GPUs as well. With HBAO+ disabled my fps @ 4K increased 20%. My fps for each benchmark level increased 5-7fps during the test.

So if you are running an AMD Radeon GPU you should DISABLE HBAO+no matter which settings you decide to use. With that being said let’s see how well the game performs in-game.
