The Last of Us Part I is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A remake of the 2013 game The Last of Us, it features revised gameplay, including enhanced combat and exploration, and expanded accessibility options. It was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Naughty Dog in-house engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX12 API.

Next up is The Last of Us Part 1, and we've tested the latest 1.1 patch here. Performance seems absolutely fine with 8GB GPUs at 1080p now, with the RTX 4060 delivering 55FPS, making it level with the RX 7600. The RX 6700 XT does very well here though, with the 4060 coming in 30% slower, despite just a 12% price difference between the two.

At 1440p the RTX 4060 does suffer from a hitch or two, which brings down the 1% lows, and on average it's just 5% faster than the RTX 3060. That is a very weak result and could well be an example of the 3060's 12GB framebuffer giving it increased longevity.
