God of War 3 PC vs RPCS3 Performance

Introduction

God of War 3 is now available on PC via a fan-made port, but how does it compare to the RPCS3 PS3 emulator in terms of performance? We put the two methods to the test on a high-end gaming PC, equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card and an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor.

Performance Comparison

The native PC port of God of War 3 runs significantly faster than the RPCS3 emulator, with frame rates often exceeding 60fps on the PC port, while the emulator struggled to maintain a consistent 30fps. This is likely due to the fact that the PC port is optimized for the hardware, whereas the emulator has to translate the game’s code to run on the PC.

Hardware Requirements

To run God of War 3 on PC, you’ll need a powerful gaming rig, such as one equipped with an Intel Core i9-11900K processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card, and at least 16GB of RAM. You’ll also need a high-end gaming monitor, such as the Dell Alienware AW3420DW, to take full advantage of the game’s graphics capabilities.
