4K duel to Ghost Recon Wildlands. Who has the edge in the graphics comparison: PC or PS4 Pro?
For a few days now, you can officially play the new tactical shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands. The fun of the game is not only due to a wide range of weapons and the co-op mode, but also to the graphic details of the characters, environments, weapons, and weather conditions. But which platform performs better in the direct 4K comparison: the PC or the PS4 Pro? Decide for yourself with the help of this comparison video.
PC and PS4 Pro in graphics comparison
The tested PC is set to maximum graphic details and runs at native 2160p. The PS4 Pro runs at a native resolution of 1440p, which is upscaled to 2160p. It’s noticeable in the video that the PC, despite good hardware (i7 6700K, 16 GB DDR4 Ram, and a GTX 1080), does not always achieve the targeted 30 FPS.
You also see that the lighting conditions in some scenes are not 100% the same. This is due to the dynamic weather system that is active in Ghost Recon Wildlands. However, the test by Candyland ensured similar weather conditions and in-game time.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is the first game to use Nvidia’s Turf Effects technology on PC. This technology is used to depict grass realistically.
“NVIDIA Turf Effects simulates and renders massive grasslands and their physically accurate interaction with the environment. The new technology allows for a complete geometric representation of grass. The individual blades consist of at least three or up to several hundred triangles, enabling seamless detail levels to be displayed.”
The visibility and details are significantly higher at Ultra graphics on the PC. The differences in the representation of distant objects are striking. As you can see in the video at around 58 seconds, the PC displays the power plant more clearly than the PlayStation 4 Pro. Check out the video here:
