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 in-house engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX11 API.

God of War is very performant on AMD GPUs and at 1080p we can see the 4060 trailing the RX 6650 XT by 7%, while it's 14% slower than the RX 7600. We're also only looking at a 14% uplift versus the RTX 3060, which isn't overly impressive.

1440p is still very playable though, with an average of 57FPS, and the 4060 has also caught up to the RX 7600, with a 7% difference between the two cards now, compared to the 14% deficit we saw at 1080p. The gap between the 4060 and 3060 has shrunk to just 12%, however.
