LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight May Be the First PC Game to Require FrameGen Just for 30 FPS
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, launching in two weeks, has revealed its official PC system requirements, which include a controversial requirement for Frame Generation to be enabled at minimum specs.
- The game is expected to run at around 30 FPS with Frame Generation enabled, implying a base framerate as low as 15-20 FPS that is boosted using this technology, which is not the intended use of Frame Generation.
- Industry recommendations from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel advise using Frame Generation only on stable base framerates of 60 FPS or higher, as lower framerates can cause latency, input lag, and visual artifacts.
- The game’s use of Unreal Engine 5, a first for the LEGO series, raises additional concerns about performance, especially in its open-world segments.
- Final judgment on the game’s performance will be possible after launch, but current specs suggest potential issues for players on lower-end PCs.
