Benchmarks for Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor indicate that achieving 60 FPS at native 4K resolution remains elusive for current graphics cards. The tests were conducted using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and the Unreal Engine 5 with Nanite and Lumen technologies.123
The GeForce RTX 5090 emerged as the top performer, reaching an average of 59 FPS and a minimum of 52 FPS. However, it still fell short of the 60 FPS benchmark. In comparison, the RTX 4090 managed only 44 FPS on average, while the RTX 5080 lagged further behind at 36 FPS.
AMD's offerings also struggled, with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX achieving an average of 34 FPS and a minimum of 31 FPS. The Radeon RX 9070 XT performed even worse, with 32 FPS average and 27 FPS minimum. Most other modern graphics cards fell below 25 FPS, underscoring the necessity for upscalers in 4K gaming.78
These results highlight the ongoing challenges in high-resolution gaming, as developers and hardware manufacturers strive to meet the demands of gamers seeking immersive experiences at 4K resolution.
“The RTX 5090 32 GB achieved 52 minimum and 59 average FPS, just short of the target, while the RTX 4090 and RTX 5080 fell further behind. All other cards dropped below 25 FPS, confirming the mandatory need for upscalers for 4K gaming.”
