A Plague Tale: Requiem is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment. It is the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence (2019), and follows siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune who must look for a cure to Hugo's blood disease in Southern France while fleeing from soldiers of the Inquisition and hordes of rats that are spreading the black plague. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 18 October 2022. (Wikipedia).

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

A Plague Tale: Requiem is next and this is one of the more demanding games we test. At 1440p the RTX 4070 Super is capable of 74FPS, which makes it 16% faster than the 4070, 9% slower than the 4070 Ti but 13% faster than the RX 7800 XT.

Up at 4K, the 4070 Super does drop off a touch relative to the 7800 XT, as it's now just 7% faster compared to its 13% lead at 1440p. We can put this down to the fact it still shares the same relatively narrow 192-bit memory interface as the 4070 and 4070 Ti, so performance does tend to tail off slightly at higher resolutions.
