Ace Combat 8 Benchmarks Show Only Top Two GPUs Hit 100 FPS At 1080p
With official minimum and recommended specs both assuming upscaling, the benchmark numbers make the game's PC performance profile a GPU-bound one where upscaling stops being optional above 1080p.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Benchmark results for ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, published by tech outlet GameGPU ahead of the game's October 2 release, put only the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 above 100 FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings and TSR upscaling at native resolution, at 128 FPS and 115 FPS on average. At 1440p only the RTX 5090 clears 100 FPS, at 102 FPS, and it averages 60 FPS at 4K.
GameGPU tested the game at the highest Ultra setting with TSR upscaling set to native resolution. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX came in sixth at 1080p with an average of 92 FPS, and fell to 64 FPS at 1440p and 37 FPS at 4K. VRAM use runs about 7GB to just under 9GB at 1080p and around 10GB to 12GB at 4K, which leaves little headroom on 8GB cards. System memory sits near 30GB at any resolution, close to the 32GB the official specs recommend. Tests per CPU show the processor has little impact on frame rate, so GPU performance drives the result. The game launches October 2 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows via Steam.
