Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a 2021 third-person shooter platform game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5. It is the ninth main installment in the Ratchet & Clank series and a sequel to Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus. Rift Apart was announced in June 2020 and was released on June 11, 2021. A Windows port by Nixxes Software was released on July 26, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Insomniac Games in-house engine. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart continues to cause issues for Nvidia GPUs and the 1% lows – the 7900 GRE is 11% slower than the 4070 Super when looking at average FPS for instance, but 6% faster in terms of the 1% lows.

That evens out at 4K though, and now the 7900 GRE is about level with the original 4070, while it's 10% faster than the 7800 XT.
