Get in the game: Even though you can’t buy an HDR monitor today, you can get your hands on Mass Effect: Andromeda immediately. Powering a no-compromises 4K experience like the one teased above likely requires a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or a pair of lesser-powered graphics cards, though. Fingers crossed BioWare’s playing it a bit safe, since EA’s Frostbite engine is renowned for scaling well across myriad hardware configurations.
#MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA PC GAMER 1080P#
Mass Effect: Andromeda’s recommended PC specs suggest using a Core i7 processor and either a 3GB GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 480-and that’s just to hit 30 frames per second at High settings on 1080p resolution. Such potent visuals require a fairly beefy PC, however. I’m hooked, personally.Ĭapturing and editing a Mass Effect: Andromeda screenshot using Nvidia’s Ansel tool. Ansel’s seemed to have found its niche in open world games since launching alongside the GeForce GTX 10-series graphics cards last year, appearing in games like Witcher 3, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, The Witness, ARK: Survival Evolved, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands. To show off Mass Effect: Andromeda’s eye candy even more, the game includes Nvidia’s awesome Ansel screenshot technology, as the Nvidia-made video makes sure to point out. Major engines like Unreal Engine 4 and Unity also support HDR, and Condominas told me that console developers are all over the technology thanks to the Xbox One S and PlayStation 4 Pro’s arrival. He expects PC games with high dynamic range to start appearing quickly now that we finally- finally-have HDR PC monitors on the way.
Integrating HDR into Bioware’s game was a fast process as EA’s Frostbite engine already supported it, Condominas said. But you’ll be able to very, very soon-the G-Sync HDR monitors should release by the end of June-and it’s thrilling to see developers like BioWare blazing a path to prepare for that arrival.Ī conversation I had with Mass Effect: Andromeda producer Fabrice Condominas at CES hopefully suggests that HDR adoption by PC developers should happen sooner than later. So no, you can’t watch this Mass Effect: Andromeda 4K HDR trailer on a PC display right now. I’ve seen Mass Effect: Andromeda in HDR, and it was amazing. Not to be outdone, AMD revealed its own HDR-focused FreeSync 2 technology at CES, while LG and Dell teased standalone HDR monitors of their own. In fact, Nvidia announced a pair of 144HZ, 4K G-Sync HDR monitors that are basically the holy grail of PC monitors, teasing the duo with images from (you guessed it) Mass Effect Andromeda.
