Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden – A Deep Dive into its PC Performance

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, the latest action RPG from DON’T NOD and Focus Entertainment, has recently been released to the public. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this game has generated quite a buzz in the gaming community due to its impressive performance on high-end graphics cards. In this article, we will delve deep into the PC performance of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, exploring its system requirements, frame rates, and graphical fidelity.

First, let us discuss the system requirements for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. The game recommends an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D or an Intel Core i9-12900K processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card. These requirements are quite high, but they are necessary to run the game at its maximum settings and maintain a smooth frame rate.

Now, let us move on to the frame rates. According to DSOGaming’s early tests, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden runs with over 100fps at Native 4K/Max Settings on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. This is an impressive feat, especially considering the game’s high system requirements. Furthermore, the game supports both AMD FSR 2.2 and DLSS 3, which can help improve performance on less powerful graphics cards.

However, it is important to note that Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden does not support Unreal Engine 5’s Lumen or Nanite technologies. This was a bit disappointing, as these technologies have the potential to significantly enhance the game’s visuals. Nevertheless, the game’s graphics are still quite impressive, with well-detailed characters and environments.

One area where Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden could use improvement is its lighting. While the main characters look great, the lighting appears quite dated. Additionally, some torches do not cast shadows, which can detract from the overall visual experience. However, pop-ins are kept to a minimum, which is a positive aspect.

In terms of performance issues, there are some traversal stutters when loading new areas. These stutters are present on both PC and consoles, and they can be quite annoying. However, they do not significantly impact the overall gameplay experience.

Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
