GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this system, with its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus providing a massive 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is far beyond what Dave The Diver needs, but it ensures that the GPU never faces memory constraints. The GPU's base clock of 2235 MHz and boost clock of 2520 MHz, combined with its 16,384 shading units, deliver enormous raw compute power.

The benchmark data shows the GPU's performance scaling is consistent with its specifications. At 3840x2160, the average FPS goes from 227 on Low settings to 150 on Ultra settings. This 77 FPS difference demonstrates that the game's graphics load does scale with the GPU's capabilities, but the RTX 4090 handles it without breaking a sweat. The GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is clearly more than sufficient for this title.

The RTX 4090's 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores are not particularly stressed by this game, as Dave The Diver is not a ray-tracing heavy title. However, the GPU's overall architecture, built on the Ada Lovelace design at a 5 nm process node, provides excellent efficiency. The measured results show that even at the most demanding settings, the GPU maintains high average FPS, with the lowest recorded figure being 150 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings preset delivers the best experience. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 150 FPS, which is already well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many high-end monitors offer. The High preset at 4K pushes this to 170 FPS, providing additional headroom for those with 165 Hz or 240 Hz displays.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset at 2560x1440 appears to be the sweet spot. It delivers an average of 254 FPS, which is sufficient for even the fastest gaming monitors, while still providing excellent visual fidelity. The Medium preset at this resolution yields 284 FPS, but the visual difference between Medium and High is typically more noticeable than the 30 FPS performance difference.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset reaches 298 FPS, making it the best choice for competitive play if you are using a high-refresh-rate 1080p monitor. The Low preset at 373 FPS does not offer any practical advantage over Ultra unless you are chasing maximum frame rates for esports purposes, which is unlikely for an adventure game. The data suggests that High or Ultra settings at 1080p are the best options, as they provide an excellent visual experience without any performance concerns.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 resolution, the system delivers its most demanding results. The Low settings preset produces an average of 227 FPS, while Medium settings average 190 FPS with a minimum of 162 FPS and a maximum of 219 FPS. High settings average 170 FPS, and Ultra settings average 150 FPS. The progression shows a consistent reduction in frame rate as visual quality increases, with a total drop of 77 FPS from Low to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance improves significantly. Low settings average 339 FPS, Medium settings average 284 FPS with a minimum of 242 FPS and maximum of 327 FPS, High settings average 254 FPS, and Ultra settings average 224 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 115 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom even at Ultra settings.
