LEGO Games released LEGO Builder’s Journey on PC yesterday. The PC version of LEGO Builder’s Journey comes with dlss support as well as numerous Ray Tracing effects. Therefore, it is time to compare these Ray Tracing effects and see how the game performs on the PC platform.
For these tests, an Intel i9 9900K computer with 3600Mhz 16GB DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics card, Windows 10 64-bit and GeForce 471.11 driver was used.
LEGO Builder’s Journey supports Ambient Occlusion, Global Illumination, Reflections and Shadows. Since there is no built-in benchmark tool in the game, the second level was used in the comparisons. This level contains all ray tracing effects.
Without DLSS, the game on the RTX 3080 graphics card worked at 60 fps at 1080p. It averaged 41 fps at 1440p/High settings. In 4K, performance was as low as 19 fps.
Fortunately the game uses DLSS 2.2, so it is highly recommended to use it. As mentioned earlier, DLSS 2.2 is the latest version of DLSS and brings some improvements compared to DLSS 2.0.
LEGO Builder’s Journey does not support DLSS Ultra Performance Mode. Instead, it’s based on Performance, Balanced, Quality, and Auto.
DLSS Quality Mode offers the best image quality, so it’s recommended to use it. Using this mode, you can run the game at 1440p/High Settings at 60 fps. In 4K/High settings, 37 fps were taken with this mode.
LEGO Builder’s Journey delivers a great look with Ray Tracing effects. Those who want to play at 60 fps need to enable DLSS 2.2. Otherwise it will not be possible to reach 60 fps at 1440p/High settings.
