Recently, the new 3A masterpiece "Hogwarts: heritage" has been launched, and has caused a sensation in the game circle and the original circle. The game plot is set in the 19th century, where players will play a Hogwarts student who has mastered "Ancient Magic" and experience school life in the game. Make allies, fight with dark wizards, prepare potions, tame magical creatures to enhance their magical strength, determine the fate of the wizarding world and leave legends.

The biggest selling point of "the Legacy of Hogwarts" is to restore the magic academy in the novel with exquisite game pictures, and the fine light, shadow and water have great visual impact. Let the player quite have a kind of immersive feeling, also calculate to realize a childhood magic dream.

Three days before the official release of Hogwarts, Intel's 4123 Beta version of the graphics driver has already added support for the game. Let's take a look at how the new driver performs in the game. Because the Legacy of Hogwarts requires a lot of configuration, in this paper, we will use Intel's high-performance graphics card Ruixuan A750 for performance testing.

The following is a list of configurations:

The excellent frame count is 1080p high quality + quality file XeSS. First of all, in the following complex scene, the 4123 driver can reach 181frames.

In the following scenario, in the 4123 Beta version driver, 1080p HD + quality file XeSS can achieve an average of 178frame. You can feel the rapid support and optimization of the new game by the Intel software team.

Overall, the Ruixuan A750 graphics card can satisfy 100 frames of 1080p high-definition play "Hogwarts relics". It seems that Intel has been actively supporting and optimizing new games quickly. As DX12 gradually becomes mainstream, Ruixuan A750 will become more and more popular.

2K resolution frame number test since 1080p is no problem, what about 2K? Let's keep the image quality the same, XeSS is still in quality, but increase the resolution to 2560 to 1440, let's take a look at the number of frames.

↑ 2K Resolution 132Fram

↑ 1080p Resolution 181Fram

↑ 2K Resolution 131Fram

↑ 1080p Resolution 147Fram

↑ 1080p Resolution 113F

From the comparison of the number of frames between 1080p and 2K in the same scene above, we can see that the A750 can still meet the smooth play of 2K high-definition 100 frames with 2K resolution. It can be said that the A750 is a graphics card that is fully qualified for the Legacy of Hogwarts. Thanks to the special architecture of the sharp graphics card, the higher the resolution, the greater the advantage. In practical use, it is easy to stabilize 60 frames at 4K.

It is worth mentioning that the Legacy of Hogwarts provides the support of XeSS technology, so let's take a look at the number of frames before and after using XeSS technology in the Legacy of Hogwarts. XeSS is a new magnification technology that uses deep learning to synthesize images that are very close to the quality of native high-resolution rendering. It works by rebuilding the details of sub-pixels from adjacent pixels, as well as previous motion compensation frames. This reconstruction is performed by a trained neural network to provide high performance and excellent quality, which can improve performance by up to 2x. It is worth mentioning that because this technology is completely open, even graphics cards of other brands can be used. When playing call of Duty 19:00, the author found that XeSS is even better than DLSS in this game. If the game you want to play supports XeSS technology, you might as well try it.

For example, in the following scenario, when XeSS is turned off by default, it can reach an average of about 94 frames, which makes it possible to play smoothly.

After opening the XeSS of the quality file, the average frame can be increased to 116frame without affecting the picture quality, and the game experience can be smoother.

↑ XeSS quality 116frame

The same is true in the following scenario, where the increase in the number of frames is even more obvious, and the number of frames easily soars by 30 frames after opening the XeSS quality file.

↑ XeSS closes 103Fram

↑ XeSS quality 136 Fram

Finally, the author also tests the performance of the number of frames in the battle scene, and the result is that the number of frames can be increased by about 15%. XeSS technology may be of greater significance to 2K or 4K games, making it possible to play frames that could not be played smoothly, while high resolution makes up for the loss of picture quality.

↑ XeSS closes 125Fram

In the test, the author found that the driver update speed of Intel Ruixuan series graphics card is very fast. Take "Legacy of Hogwarts" as an example, the game was launched on February 10, their driver was updated on February 7, and most of the new games can be supported by 0Day. And judging from our frame count test today, the game experience is also quite smooth. At present, the Ruixuan A750 graphics card has been reduced to a thousand yuan price, but its performance is not inferior to the RTX 3060, and the follow-up is still being optimized. For players who want to buy a new thousand-yuan card, the i5 + Ruixuan A750 will be a good choice to meet the needs of most mainstream 3A masterpieces such as 1080p high-frame games or smooth 2K60 frames.
