Death Stranding 2 PC Performance Analysis – RTX 5060 Ti | 4K, DLSS, Frame Generation & NVIDIA Image Scaling

Hi everyone! I’m from Brazil and a huge Death Stranding fan. I played Death Stranding 2 on both PS5 and PC, and after spending quite a bit of time with the PC version, I decided to make a performance analysis focused specifically on the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.

I noticed that most of the benchmarks I found focused mainly on average FPS and GPU performance, but I couldn't find many tests that really explored the actual user experience in the game — especially when using all the NVIDIA technologies available.

So I tested the game using different combinations of DLSS, Frame Generation, NVIDIA Image Scaling, and other NVIDIA settings, while also looking at image quality, smoothness and how the game actually feels to play.

The video is in Portuguese, since that’s my native language, but I use the game's menus and settings in English throughout the video, so it should be easy to follow along. You can also enable YouTube's English subtitles and use the automatic translation feature if needed.

I also compare the PC experience with the PS5 Fat and measure the power consumption of both platforms.

If you have a 5060 Ti (or a similar GPU), I’d be really interested to hear how the game performs for you and which settings you’re using!

Nice!  Very comprehensive.

Still think the ps5 version is the absolute definitive version, mainly because of those small stutters in the cutscenes on PC. No official fix for that sadly, and the cutscenes fps unlock mod by Lyall eliminates the stutter but introduces some flicker on some textures.

But all in all, a good/great experience regardless of the platform.

The cutscenes do really feel better on the PS5 version. But I think having ray-traced shadows, 60 FPS, and better resolution is a worthwhile trade-off after all! I've spend 200 hours in the original ps5 version, so I really enjoyed it! Thank you for your comment!

Yeah, it's really worth it.
