I ran the new Dune Awakening benchmark on a $399 GPU, and it looks amazing

If you’re a budding Muad d'ib who can’t wait to sweep across the sands in an ornithopter, or see an enormous sandworm, then you’ll want to download the new Dune Awakening benchmark. You can now give your PC hardware a workout to see how it will handle the new game, and the good news is that the game not only looks good, but it will also run at a decent frame rate at maximum settings.

With the Dune Awakening release date approaching, now is a great time to download the benchmark for yourself and see how your rig copes with its demands. I’ve had a play with the benchmark myself over the last day and night, and I’m pleased to report that you won’t need the best graphics card ever in order to run Dune Awakening at a decent frame rate. It also supports the key Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling and frame-gen technologies.
