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 High preset, RT High Reflections only. DX12 API.

Ratchet and Clank is next and even with just RT Reflections, we're down to just 45FPS for the A580, and 36FPS for the 1% lows. It's considerably faster than the RTX 2060 and RTX 3050, but the fact the RTX 3060 12GB is actually faster than the RTX 4060 shows us that VRAM is the main limiting factor here, even at these settings.
