God of War is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). It was released worldwide on April 20, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 with a Microsoft Windows version released on January 14, 2022. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Sony Santa Monica Proprietary. We test using the Ultra preset, DX11 API.

Being a DX11 title, an area of performance that we analyse in more detail later on, I was honestly pleasantly surprised to see the frame rates on offer here from the A770. It's only a couple of frames behind the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 XT at 1080p, and even edges out both of those GPUs as we step up the resolution to 1440p. As a major DX11 title released this year, I would imagine the Intel software team has optimised the driver for God of War, at least to a greater extent than some of the other examples that we will see later in the review.
