PC Performance Review at 1080p Ultra Settings on Diablo 2 Resurrected

A PC build like this can expect to get an average of 88 FPS on High settings in Diablo 2 Resurrected at 1080p. There may be some lower frame rates in some parts of the game, but we have chosen the components to get some solid frame rates. Increasing the quality in the game to Ultra, will see us still getting an FPS of 63.

Having the option of larger screen resolutions in the future is a handy thing to consider. This gaming PC setup, running Diablo II Remake at 1440p would be pulling in about 67 FPS at High. We would expect that to drop again to 48 if you were playing it at 1440p Ultra.

How this build performs for other popular games

Forza Horizon 5 will get 63 on Ultra and 88 FPS on High graphics settings with the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB. Whereas on Battlefield 2042 we see a return of 63 FPS on Ultra and 88 FPS when lowered to High. Another popular game at the moment is Dying Light 2, which is 63 FPS run at Ultra and 88 on High.
