The PC version, with maximized settings, consistently loads in 3-4 seconds from my traditional 7200 RPM HDD, and presumably installing the game to an SSD could further lower these times.' Even medium-range systems should easily maintain a solid framerate, particularly at the more common 1920x1080 resolution.Īnother relevant aspect of game performance which is independent of framerates is the length of loading times, which is particularly relevant for Dark Souls 2 in light of their distracting duration in the console versions. In fact, the GPU was generally below 60% loaded in order to maintain that framerate. 'With all in-game settings maximized and rendering at 2560x1440, I never noticed a single drop below 60 FPS on my PC (equipped with a Core i7 920 CPU and Geforce GTX770 GPU).

It renders at any resolution a given system supports, its framerate varies smoothly up to 60 FPS, it performs well even on modest systems. ' Dark Souls 2 on PC is a massively improved effort compared to its predecessor.
