Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC: 90 FPS at 1080p with RTX 4060 DLSS 4

After a lengthy wait, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has finally launched on PC. However, this release has been met with a lot of complaints regarding frame rate drops, crashes, and other glitches. On the bright side, the game has relatively low system requirements and performs reasonably well on older systems at lower settings. RandomGamingHD looked into how much DLSS 4 could improve the gameplay experience, and their findings are mostly encouraging.

Performance with DLSS 4

When DLSS 4 was set to “maximum performance” and the base resolution set to 360p, upscaled to 1080p, the Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU (currently priced at $305 on Amazon) paired with an Intel i7 12700F achieved impressive results, hitting over 90 FPS at maximum settings, excluding ray tracing, of course. However, enabling ray tracing caused the average FPS to drop into the low 50s, which is not ideal, yet not unplayable either. Nevertheless, the 1% low of 27 FPS raised some eyebrows and was a bit concerning.

Visual Quality Concerns

Now, let’s talk about the critical aspect—image quality. Generally, the visuals were mostly acceptable, but there were some minor artifacts and occasional graphical glitches that popped up now and then. Overall, the gaming experience with DLSS 4 was quite enjoyable given the 360p base resolution, or at least that’s what RandomGamingHD suggested. It’s worth mentioning that the RTX 4060 comes with just 8 GB of VRAM, and users with AMD GPUs that have similar VRAM may face a significantly worse experience due to the different ways AMD and Nvidia handle VRAM.

Implications for Future Consoles

Interestingly, as highlighted by Wccftech, this information paints a hopeful future for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This console is expected to be far from a powerhouse, but DLSS could significantly enhance the overall experience. Additionally, concerns about image quality should mostly vanish given the Switch 2’s smaller screen, although the experience when docked might be up for debate. The anticipated Tegra T239, which is set to power the Switch 2, features an Ampere GPU with a modest 3.1 TFLOPS of performance, so any assistance in upscaling will certainly be beneficial.
