Best performing games of the past 5 years

[rusty_shackleford]

Nearly all games that release run like absolute **** now. Therefore,
What are the games — available on PC — that have the best performance(as in frame-rate) made in the last 5 years? The games must be visually impressive from a technical standpoint: high graphical fidelity, not art style.
I have a feeling one of those late-era PS4 PlayStation ports PC has received is probably going to win this, as they tend to be incredibly well optimized.

the system shock 1 remake is really well optimized although that's probably because it's set in a space station - thus being basically a corridor imsim

The DOOM (2016 and Eternal) are very well optimized, as far as I know. I also thought the 2017 Prey looked very well.

Death Stranding?

MGSV looks better and plays smoother than half the games that come out now and can run on a toaster.

You expect me to be able to fully read titles without an AI voice reading it back and subway surfers on the side I'm ********

the benefits of an empty open world

I heard Atomic Heart had a good optimization, though the devs had to cancel RTX implementation shortly before releasing the game.

The last few Resident Evil games could've been listed, except they all had Denuvo. Personally I didn't notice any issues, but I read a lot of complaints about random stutters that disappeared completely once Capcom removed DRM with a patch.

wew, coming in at just under 5 years old... Gears of War 5.

Looks phenomenal and runs like a dream. Also runs on a potato as well while still looking good. ***** studio and ***** game series now (RIP Gears) but no one can fault their mastery of the Unreal Engine. Bar none the best running UE games are Gears 4 and 5 on PC. They look amazing and run perfect.

EDIT: Days Gone PC port also looks and runs phenomenal, also an UE game, coincidentally. I thought for a sec it was a propietary engine but no, it's UE4. Days Gone looks great and runs fantastic, zero hiccups or stuters or weird frame drops of any kind, it just works.

Days Gone was a bad Sony port on release but they fixed it and I only had one visual artifact in my full playthrough.
