Mafia 3 Notebook and Desktop Benchmarks

Interesting scenario with technical issues. One thing right away: You will be disappointed if you expect triple-A graphics from “Mafia 3”. The visual quality of the open-world game is average at best. Our benchmark test will show whether this is at least good news for users of low-end and mainstream PCs.

Graphics

“Are you serious?” This was our first question in terms of the graphics after we had launched the ambitious gangster game. A second look at the settings confirmed that “Mafia 3” looks quite outdated even at the highest details.

While the cutscenes actually have a high-quality and convince with very detailed character models, atmospheric environments and good lighting, the real gaming graphics are far behind what is currently possible. Many textures look muddy even on High settings, which is particularly noticeable when you walk around.

The rest of the graphics also remind us of a game from 2010. Weak effects here, clipping errors and pop-ups or flickering objects there: The PC version of “Mafia 3” does not leave a very sophisticated impression.

The developers also deserve criticism for the distance presentation. The drawing distance is okay, but distant objects lack details and there is a strong soft focus. That surface shaders are loaded and removed based on the camera angle, which is also annoying. However, the biggest issue was the initial 30 FPS limit, but it can be deactivated with the patch.

Speaking of settings: There are currently exactly 16 settings in the graphics menu, which can be changed without a restart. Besides the usual suspects such as the resolution, brightness, picture mode and VSync (avoids line shifting), you will also find three presets, which adjust various detail features. You can also adjust everything manually by setting the quality to  “Custom”. Inexperienced users can also let “Mafia 3” decide for itself via  “Optimal”.

But you should be careful: We would not use the video menu outside of the game. Some options are missing here, and the changes are not always applied reliably, so you still have to use the in-game settings. The PC version would require a few weeks or even months of fine tuning in general. The game often crashes or freezes during loading and when you adjust settings. In short: Compared to the predecessor, “Mafia 3” does not have a good start.

So what about the gameplay of the GTA V competitor? After we played the game for a few hours and finished several story missions, the verdict is mainly positive. Even though the gameplay is not the best and the missions are supposed to be repetitive after a while, the game is quite enjoyable except for the technical issues. The shootings with the somewhat usable AI work pretty well, thanks to the decent controls.

It is also possible to finish many missions almost non-violently. Even though the sneaking mechanics are not quite as comprehensive and pretty rudimentary compared to  “real” stealth games such as “Thief” or “Splinter Cell”, we did like the slightly pacifistic action (you are still a gangster after all).

The driving scenes are pretty good as well. If you ignore the slightly awkward collision model, there is not much to criticize. Driving physics are on par with other open-world games (“Watch Dogs” or “Mad Max”, for example).

We think the biggest highlight is the scenario in the late 60s, which has not been used very often before. “Mafia 3” is great when it comes to speakers, character building, soundtrack and the stylistic implementation in general. The cut scenes in particular feature perfectly adjusted music. We already know from this genre that there are radio stations for almost every taste. We can only hope that “Mafia 3” will be able to keep up the dense narrative structure of the first couple of hours, where you are confronted with a lot of story and cleverly implemented time jumps.

Benchmark

The fact that there is just one save-game and that the game does not support cloud storage (you need a Steam account to activate the game) is not so clever. We therefore use the initial car drive for our benchmark sequence. The main figure is driving to a heist after a short indoor sequence. The full drive would take too long, so we stop the measurements with the tool Fraps after the distance marker has reached the value 1500 (see video). The benchmark takes about 60 seconds and shows the truck driving in rural as well as metropolitan areas, so a certain performance range is covered.

Since the sequence always takes place at night due to the staging and the logic and we also closely follow the instructions of the navigation system, the results are pretty steady, even though there can be some variations from one run to another (traffic etc.). “Mafia 3” does deliver pretty steady FPS numbers and even though we could not determine any serious FPS drops during our testing, you should manage more than the default FPS limit at 30 for smooth gameplay. The game really starts to be fun at 35 to 40 FPS, so we used these numbers for our hardware recommendations as well.

Results

The hardware requirements are absurdly high when you consider the mediocre graphics quality. Notebooks with iGPUs (such as the HD Graphics 4600/5600) are not even powerful enough for the lowest settings; even dedicated entry-level and mainstream models from Nvidia and AMD are insufficient for “Mafia 3”. Neither a GeForce 940M (X) nor a GTX 950M managed more than 35 FPS in our benchmark. Decent frame rates are only possible with a high-end chip. 1280x720 pixels in combination with the Low preset require at least a GeForce GTX 960M or GTX 870M, 1366x768 pixels and Normal details at least a GeForce GTX 970M or GTX 880M. Only top models are powerful enough for Full HD. The GeForce GTX 980M is okay for the Medium preset, High will require a GeForce GTX 1060 or GTX 980.

You should not really think about 3840x2160 pixels. Not even modern high-end chips such as the GeForce GTX 1080 can manage decent results in this case, and another problem is that the HUD is not scaled when you exceed Full HD and it is therefore way too small. A test with the MSI GT83VR (GTX 1070 SLI), which is currently under review, also shows missing dual-GPU support, which would enable more headroom for settings on powerful systems. Strange: “Mafia 3” sometimes looks better with low settings compared to the Medium or High presets. This could be a result of the post-processing, which creates a rather blurry image.

If you are considering purchasing “Mafia 3”, you will also need a lot of storage space as well as a fast GPU. “Mafia 3” requires more than 40 GB, so the download will take forever without a decent Internet connection. The retail version on the other hand consists of five DVDs.

Finally a word about the loading times: They are pretty short on a Solid-State Drive, but you will need more patience with an HDD. Overall, the developers from Hangar 13 should still optimize their first “Mafia 3” game. The good open-world feeling is currently affected by technical issues.

5Stutters – This game is very likely to stutter and have poor frame rates. Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, average frame rates are expected to fall below 25fps
May Stutter – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, stutters and poor frame rates are expected.
30Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 25fps
40Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 35fps
60Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 58fps
May Run Fluently – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, fluent frame rates are expected.
?Uncertain – This graphics card experienced unexpected performance issues during testing for this game. A slower card may be able to achieve better and more consistent frame rates than this particular GPU running the same benchmark scene.
Uncertain – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game and no reliable interpolation can be made based on the performances of surrounding cards of the same class or family.
The value in the fields displays the average frame rate of all values in the database. Move your cursor over the value to see individual results.
