Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s review embargo has been released by EA, and it appears that PC sales for this title are expected to soar. According to sources, the game’s PC optimization for CPU and VRAM is currently very problematic.
The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC review code features the following gameplay video, which GameStar has shared. GameStar used an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 for their evaluation. Additionally, the Ryzen 9 5900X is unable to keep up with 50 frames per second at 1440p.
The NVIDIA RTX4090 is visibly underutilized in the video. NVIDIA’s graphics hardware is typically utilized at a rate of 35 to 60%.
It’s a good thing that GameStar included an MSI Afterburner overlay to the footage. I’m not really sure what is creating this CPU limitation because, as we can see, the game’s PC review build can primarily utilise 4 CPU threads. The Callisto Protocol and Gotham Knights both relied on a single CPU core/thread, however it appears that this game does not.
The game requires a lot of VRAM, according to PCMRace. Due to VRAM restrictions, an NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti cannot run the game in 4K. Yes, this is another PC game that is VRAM-hungry.
In actuality, the game uses up to 18GB of VRAM at 1440p, as shown in GameStar’s video. What on earth is happening here?
EA has not given us a review code, as we’ve repeatedly stated. In case you were wondering, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 both seem to have performance concerns. In other words, the game runs slowly on every platform.
