At last, Jedi Survivor receives an update with a somewhat substantial increase in actual performance, when using Ray Tracing that is, but I’m afraid to say it’s still not enough to make the game feel like it’s been fully polished, so long after release too.

While we can observe some pretty decent average FPS gains with Ray Tracing enabled, the game still presets obvious CPU bottleneck issues and still quite uneven frametimes when RT is used.

There has been a decent improvement, but one cannot but think that this type of update should’ve been released like a couple months after the actual game release, at best, and not one and a half year later, because the game still feels like it’s lacking one final patch that pushes all the roughness out at last.

In any case, I personally feel like this is the final patch for the game on PC, so it is what it is.

Hopefully, this can be useful to any of you, and I’ll see you next time : )
