Denuvo does not affect game performance in any way

In an interesting twist of events, CI Games has completely removed Denuvo from its flagship video game Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. Now, as you may already know, many players still believe that Denuvo represents a negative impact on game performance that They implement, despite the fact that we have already seen several titles with Denuvo working very well, such as, for example, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Injustice 2, Mad Max or DOOM.

Without Denuvo, the performance of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is the same

Now that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 no longer has Denuvo protection, it is a very good opportunity to know if this anti-piracy protection affects performance or not. Let's see.

The performance tests were carried out by the people of DSOGaming, where a team with Intel i7 4930K running at 4.2 Ghz with 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 980 Ti from NVIDIA, Windows 10 64 bits and the latest version of GeForce drivers were used..

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 performance

With the game set to 'Very High' and at 1080p resolution, it achieves a minimum of 42 fps and an average of 64 fps. This result is exactly the same as when it was analyzed in May 2017 as we can see.

Of course, with or without Denuvo, there are still frame drops between 41-48 fps even in this latest version of the game.

What if they have been noticed in the tests, is that the video game takes less time to load, although we do not know if this is because Denuvo is no longer there or if there is an optimization work in the latest version of the CI Games game.
