Running on Unreal Engine 5, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has some of the best graphics of any PC game I've ever seen. The engine, and the visuals come with a cost, and that is the need for pretty capable hardware.

But what if you're willing to completely decimate the graphics in the name of playability? Well let's see...

0:00 Intro and Initial Performance Impressions
1:40 The Potato PC Tries It's Best (G7400, 8GB RAM, RX 6300)
3:00 Swapping Out The GPU and RAM (GTX 1630, 16GB RAM)
3:29 Upgrading CPU, Downgrading GPU (i3 12300, 16GB RAM, RX 6300)
5:32 Upgrading The GPU Again... (i3 12300, 16GB RAM, GTX 1630)
6:54 A GPU That Will Actually Run It Well... (i3 12300, 16GB RAM, RTX 3050)
7:46 Final Thoughts

Thanks for watching :)

    Almost thought LowSpecGamer went back to his old-style videos

    "Vaseline Mode" should be a graphical preset in all videogames.

    That RX 6300 is performing worse in this game than Steam Deck, a 15W TDP APU. That's a true potato GPU.
  • Loving the graphics on RX 6300, feels like a PS1 game, so nostalgic
  • @keech100
    we back to needing to change InI files rather than have it in settings

    Watching this video at 144p is an experience...

    Never thought I would be happy to see rtx 3050 gameplay.
  • @HunterTracks
    Say what you will about upscalers, especially FSR, but the fact it's even able to reconstruct a visually parsable image from an internal resolution of 240p is still insanely impressive.
  • Developers: "system requirements are fine." Also, Developers and publishers: "Just adjust the settings, it'll run fine" The results of the settings:

    "I hadn't seen the 'Compiling Shaders' screen before, but I'd have plenty of time to look at it now." 🤣

    Watching that end sequence, I wonder, (in an unrelated way), how much of the history of man has been dedicated to moving rocks from one place to another for aesthetic purposes.
  • Here in brazil there is a pc gamer popular saying that is: "If it opens, it runs"
  • @nikname2697
    i love how the low resolution + fsr combination looks like a claude monet paiting
  • @3vReanimated
    That quality is like cutting my eyes with razor blades. Nail on a chalk board.

    You always make me crack a laugh, “At this point I had square eyeballs”🤣

    This is fantastic! I'd love to see a series on optimizing games, like lowering graphics settings.
