While characters are on par with other triple-A open-world games, it’s post apocalyptic desert environments feel a bit empty. Graphics wise, Mad Max is not that impressive. Not only that, but we were GPU-limited (our GTX690 was used at 98%) even on our simulated tri-core system, suggesting that those with a weak CPU and a really powerful GPU will be able to crank up all graphics settings without encountering any performance issues at all. Our GTX690 was able to run this game with constant 90-100fps at 1080p with all its bells and whistles enabled. Regarding its GPU requirements, Mad Max can be almost maxed out by a single GTX680. What’s really amazing here is that even on our simulated tri-core system, there was minimal to none stuttering while driving across the desert. On the contrary, Mad Max was fully playable with a simulated tri-core CPU and a simulated dual-core CPU (with Hyper Threading enabled of course). The fact that the game scales well on six CPU cores (showcased by our graph) does not mean that the game is CPU bound. Mad Max is powered by the Avalanche Engine and scales incredibly well on multiple CPU cores. NVIDIA has included an SLI profile for the game (that comes with incredible scaling) so you won’t have to mess with third-party programs in order to enable it. As always, we used an Intel i7 4930K (turbo boosted at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX690, Windows 8.1 64-bit and the latest WHQL version of the GeForce drivers. Warner Bros was kind enough to provide us with a Review code for Mad Max. Well, we are happy to report today that Mad Max is one of the most optimized PC games of 2015. Despite the fact that Avalanche was clear enough in our Interview, stating that “ the Windows version has been continuously developed as one of our main platforms and is being given just as much attention“, PC gamers were still not convinced about it. After what happened with Batman: Arkham Knight, a lot of PC gamers worried about the “technical” state of Mad Max.
