Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is a 2018 action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A remastered version of Marvel's Spider-Man, featuring all previously released downloadable content, was released for the PlayStation 5 in November 2020 and for Microsoft Windows in August 2022. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Insomniac Games Proprietary. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

Next we come to a new addition to our test suite, Spider-Man Remastered. This one is quite CPU-heavy, though at 1440p we can see a 44% performance uplift over the 3090 Ti in terms of the average frame rates, though –  again –  the uplift for the 1% lows is much smaller.

At 4K however, we really see the 4090 stretch its legs. Hitting over 150FPS on average, it storms to a 73% performance advantage over the RTX 3090 Ti, and get this – it's now 98% faster than the RTX 3090, almost twice as fast!
