A successor to Planet Coaster, although sadly not linked from a gameplay standpoint, Planet Zoo offers players the chance to oversee there very own zoo paradise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Gawp at wonder at a spider in a tank. Laugh at the fat seals. Hope it&#8217;s feeding time down at the lion enclosure. Planet Zoo provides the toolkit and then it&#8217;s down to you to build the zoo of your dreams. It&#8217;s impressive stuff, in truth, although it also happens to be a bit of a performance hog as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We&#8217;ve already extensively covered Planet Zoo&#8217;s\u00a0Most Important Graphics Options\u00a0and now it&#8217;s time to take a look at overall performance with our GPU benchmark tests.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Planet Zoo Graphics Settings<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h1>\n<h3><strong>Planet Zoo Graphics Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Temporal Antialiasing Materials Textures Resolution Shadows Water Reflections Post Processing Atmospherics Screen Space Reflections Ambient Occlusion Chromatic Aberration Geometry Detail Grass Density Terrain Geometry Weather Effects <\/p>\n<h3>Planet Zoo Most Important Graphics Options &#8211; Every Setting Benchmarked<\/h3>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Planet Zoo Benchmarks<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>We&#8217;ve tested Planet Zoo with both a AMD Radeon R7 370, which comes in slightly below the minimum spec Radeon R9 270X, as well as further test with a mid to high-end GeForce RTX 2060.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>These benchmark tests were run in a medium-sized zoo, zooming in and out, panning the camera around, and generally trying to stress the performance as much as possible.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Planet Zoo benchmarks and frames per second analysis performed on XFX Radeon R7 370 2GB | Intel i7-5820K @ 4.2GHz | 16GB DDR4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Planet Zoo XFX Radeon R7 370 2GB Benchmarks @ 720p &amp; 1080p<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><em>(Click to expand)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-expandable-img\" src=\"https:\/\/game-debate.com\/blog\/images\/_id1573562998_343178.png\" title=\"Planet Zoo XFX Radeon R7 370 2GB Benchmarks @ 720p &amp; 1080p\"><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" border=\"3\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u00a0Preset<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"720p\"}'><strong>720p<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"1080p\"}'><strong>1080p<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Lowest\"}'><strong>Lowest<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":52}'>52<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":50}'>50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Low\"}'><strong>Low<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":50}'>50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":44}'>44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Medium\"}'><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":34}'>34<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":27}'>27<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"High\"}'><strong>High<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":29}'>29<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":24}'>24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Ultra\"}'><strong>Ultra<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":22}'>22<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":18}'>18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>While the Radeon R7 370 2GB does understandably struggle a little to run Planet Zoo, it&#8217;s nevertheless still perfectly capable of playable frame rates if you&#8217;re happy dial some settings down.

This isn&#8217;t a GPU issue, it&#8217;s a CPU one. The GeForce RTX 2060 hits 47 FPS on Ultra\/1080p, rising to just 53 FPS on Lowest\/1080p. It&#8217;s being held back, plain and simple, which means we can&#8217;t actually hit 60 frames per second in Planet Zoo with this particular configuration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As we shift up the resolutions, so too does the bottleneck shift from the CPU to the GPU, and the GeForce RTX 2060 really begins to be put to the test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The bottom line, though, is that Planet Zoo will gladly guzzle down your processor&#8217;s resources. Our tests were performed with a 6-core Intel Core i7-5820K 6-Core 3.3GHz overclocked to 4.2GHz. It nudges up close to 100% usage across all 12 threads with alarming regularity. This is cramping the frame rates we&#8217;d hope to see from the GeForce RTX 2060. You&#8217;ll have to excuse the slightly fuzzy picture, it&#8217;s been a mangled along the way for some reason.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-expandable-img\" src=\"https:\/\/game-debate.com\/blog\/images\/_id1573574769_343178.png\" title=\"Planet Zoo CPU Usage\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Fortunately, being a fairy slow-paced management game, Planet Zoo is still absolutely playable at 1080p\/Ultra with an average of 47 FPS. There aren&#8217;t any noticeable dips or stutters and the sedate nature of managing a zoo means a sub-60 frame rate doesn&#8217;t feel detrimental to the experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Planet Zoo Performance Breakdown And Most Important Graphics Options<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planet Zoo Can I Run It?
