Anthem performance benchmarks reveal CPU bottlenecks, difficulty hitting 60 fps

Last week, Anthem's VIP test was full of issues. Many of those problems have been smoothed over in the currently running open beta (Feb. 1-3), but if you expected excellent framerates on your PC, that isn't likely to happen. I've benchmarked Anthem using a short outdoor (ie, free play) sequence on a collection of graphics cards and CPUs, and hitting 60 fps is proving difficult.

Top-tier hardware like an RTX 2080 Ti is playable, sure, but 60 fps at 4K ultra isn't guaranteed. Drop to a less extreme GPU and 1440p medium quality may be your best bet. It's not just the graphics cards getting pummeled, as an overclocked i7-8700K can still be a CPU bottleneck, averaging 140 fps at 1080p low with the RTX 2080 Ti. Mainstream hardware like a GTX 1060 6GB meanwhile can do 1080p low or medium quality at more than 60 fps, but not much more than that.
