Blade & Soul Game Performance

14/7/2015

 

Can I run Blade & Soul On My RIG?

It has come to my attention that there is a lot of misinformation going around the web concerning Blade & Soul system requirements and performance, thus I have decided to make a couple of videos of different scenarios to show the in game performance on my own PC which is a fairly high end system.

Blade & Soul was developed on modified version of Unreal Engine 3 which at the time of development was a powerful game engine. Though the game performance fall short when it comes to scaling with newer hardware for better game play performance. 
While MMORPGs have been known to be more CPU dependant, Blade & Soul barely use a full core on an Intel 4790K overclocked at 4.5GHz nor fully using the full performance of a NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti graphic card, thus being severely crippled by its own engine.

I have played in all official servers and I had similar performance in all of them. Although I was previously playing on a AMD R9 290x GPU, I have recently upgraded to a NVIDIA 980 Ti and there was no significant performance improvement when it comes to Blade & Soul, even when tweaking the settings from High to Low or disabling advanced settings. I have put "Other Players Effects" to the lowest setting for personal use rather than performance improvement. Hiding other players' characters will gain me from 5 to 15 fps depending on the area.

My System specs:
CPU: Intel i7 4790K OC 4.5GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti OC 1250/1427MHz
Resolution: 2560x1440
OS: Windows 8.1

The videos below were recorded with Shadowplay for less performance impact from 1440p downscale to 1080p60.
