The big takeaway from all of this is that Mass Effect Legendary Edition runs fine on whatever modern hardware you have to hand. Here we'll look at what settings have the biggest impact on performance, and what turning them off does to the visual fidelity of the game. The one factor here is resolution though, so if you want to run at 4K, then you may have to tweak a couple of settings. And you shouldn't have too much issue running it at high framerates on older components either. For this reason my benchmark run avoids cutscenes so you're just getting pure in-engine game performance.īack to the point at hand though, Mass Effect Legendary Edition performs great on modern hardware. Again, there doesn't seem to be much you can do about this, and unlike in the original game where setting the bSmoothFrameRate entry to FALSE in the BIOEngine.cfg file would unlock framerates, here it doesn't seem to have any effect.
So it doesn't matter if you're hitting 240fps elsewhere, the moment you start a cutscene (of which there are many), you're performance will drop. It's worth noting that the cutscenes in Mass Effect are locked at 60fps. Not that it matters too much, as this isn't a competitive FPS that really benefits from such high framerates anyway. We bumped up against this cap on the mid-range and high-end builds all too easily, and despite rummaging around the config files, couldn't seem to push this harder. The new interface offers a handful of effect toggles alongside a Framerate Cap, which maxes out 240fps.
