That's a whole lot of horsepower, bearing in mind we have four Intel cores running flat-out at 4.5GHz. Lowering GPU quality presets reduces load significantly, but we're still looking at CPU load in the 60 to 65 per cent range. Lowering resolution to 900p and 720p sees GPU utilisation drop to 90 per cent and 75 per cent respectively, while CPU usage remains unchanged.īy and large, the top-end 'high' preset is a match for Xbox One visual quality, albeit with improved anti-aliasing options in the form of SMAA, which is a stunning state of affairs bearing in mind how potent the GTX 780 should be in this situation. Players not only get health boosters, keys, or new weapons but also earn tons of Prestige Points (PP). CPU utilisation averages at 70 per cent with the occasional 100 per cent spike, while the GPU hits 95 to 100 per cent load throughout. Dead Rising 3 Leveling Completing these tasks rewards players in many different ways. We tested Dead Rising 3 on a PC running a Core i5 3570K quad-core processor overclocked to 4.5GHz, running in concert with a high-end GeForce GTX 780, and found that the game could not sustain 60fps.

Based on our initial testing, if you're looking to lock performance at 1080p and 60fps on max settings then you are going to require some serious PC horsepower anyway.
