PC ADVANCED SETTINGS AND FEATURES

.

Uncapped Framerate

.

The developers at MachineGames are huge PC players, and all of id Software’s games have very strong PC DNA. So it’s important for them to make sure the PC version of the game is as solid as any console version. That’s why they built the game on idTech 6, which also allows for uncapped framerate – one of the features they’re most excited about.

.

Vulkan
When they started development of Wolfenstein II, the choice of graphics API for PC was a simple one. DOOM had already set the stage for what could be done with Vulkan and they wanted to take it to the next level.

Using Vulkan when developing has allowed them to utilize the power of AMD’s VEGA graphics chips in ways that were not possible before, giving them fine grained control over the performance and feature set of the GPU without having to sacrifice artistic intent. Combined with the flexibility of AMD’s hardware, Vulkan gives them the artistic freedom to deliver Wolfenstein without compromise.

  • Tritanopia
