Want to play The Evil Within on PC at a locked 1080p60? No chance. (Eurogamer)

It doesn't even hold 30 fps on PS4...

Why would you prefer to play it at 20 FPS at 1080P instead of at a steady 30 at high resolutions? That makes no sense.
Is typing "yo" before "u" too hard? Or "you're"?
I was ready to pull the trigger for the PC version but I can't stand badly optimized ports. I'll buy it when its cheap.

My six core 5930K overclocked to 4.6 Ghz drops to 45 fps at 1080p relatively regularly on my GTX 980 (with 16 gigs of DDR4 system ram). I'm not really sure that two more cores is going to get you there when a two core haswell runs it about as well.

He's already got his hands full with FFXIII, give the man a break lol.
Not like he can do anything to sort this out anyway.
Something odd is going on with this game CPU-wise. It benefits significantly from Haswell, which is very odd. The 3770K, being Ivy Bridge, is likely to perform much more similarly to the 2600K than the 4770K in this game. Why Haswell is faring so much better, I'm not sure; might be an AVX thing or benefitting greatly from cache bandwidth (where Haswell has a real advantage).
Very weird, I wish some other site would confirm the data by running their own CPU benchmarks, including Ivy Bridge and Nehalem as well.

So not only did Sony and Microsoft pay Bethesda to gimp the PC version, but they gimped their own versions to deflect any kind of speculation that it was their doing!!!
These guys are smooth!

Not optimized for 60fps, no.
But 30fps seems to be fairly easily achievable, so not completely unoptimized.

The lack of a constant 60fps sucks but the game is still vastly improved over the console versions. It'll be the last Bethesda game I ever buy at launch though, I think. First and only.
That said, my framerate hovers between 45 and 60, mostly closer to 60.

I feel like this word gets thrown around far too often nowadays. It's not unoptimized, it runs easily at 30fps. It technically doesn't even support 60, which is a bullshit thing but a different story entirely.
Mine would probably be too, but I hate fluctuating framerate. I'm playing it caped at 40 (120Hz monitor).

The fact that Rage & Wolfenstein can run at 60FPS using the idTech5 engine and yet The Evil Within is capped at 30FPS is just baffling at this point.

Must have struck a truth nerve in there to go Nazi grammar
But the 30fps lock ruins the gameplay...
Intel told them to do it.

Every version sounds like a mess.
I think I'm going to pass all together.

LOL, how could you possibly know? The fact that it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Some people value performance as much. Even a good game can be a bad experience when the performance is atrocious.
This is a badly optimized game. It should be called out on it, no matter how many hissy fits you throw.
Asking someone why they are writing in text speak instead of English isn't really grammar Nazi territory. It's just the basics.

Maybe my SLI 980's will stand a chance.
My OC 5960k should be the biggest contender for this fight though
The engine doesn't support SLI.

I have a 5960x @ 4.6, still cant hold 60fps.
poopninjamvc3mk
I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I'm lost. So you're not playing it on pc because it's not 60fps optimized but you're going to wait till next year to buy a PS4 and the game even tho the PS4 game runs almost sub 20fps at times?
What?

idtech5 doesn't support sli lol.

I've played some janky Eastern European games. Still had a good time because the gameplay and story out weight the technical difficulty

Embarrassing. So glad I didn't buy this trainwreck.
And by then the game is probably going to be cheaper on PC than PS4.

Didn't realise you spoke for everyone on GAF.

I agree, which has nothing to do with the premise of the thread and I am not even sure if it applies to anything in the game.
I also can have a good time with janky games. Is it so wrong I want to have a better time?

Blame Bethesda.
Well my i7 4702MQ with HD4600 is gonna do the job until I build a new desktop
Yeah it seems a rather unoptimised (Really bad) port, however you could downsample from insane resolutions!
It's a shame for ID Tech 5, the idea it's based on is great. Tiled resources will do the same anyway...

How is it on PS4/XOne? Heard it's a stuttering mess on them as well, but only heard that from one person.

What if I turn down settings?
Prophet Steve

If it is caused by CPU problems, likely it won't make a difference.
That's true for many games, but it's the reason the framerate doesn't scale as it should/could here, and for the annoying stutter in Doom 3.

Just a spokeperson of a gamer enjoying Evil Within
I just went to the official thread of the game.
People r complaining about the performance but enjoying the game

If it were purely CPU limited, sure.
My framerate drops to between 25 and 35 FPS if I down sample from 4K. People's framerates drop when they switch off the black bars too... and that almost certainly isn't anything to do with CPU.
I'm sure based on things I've seen that there are situations where people are CPU limited, but there are definitely also situations in the game where people are GPU limited.
This thing was optimized pretty well for 30 FPS though. It really does hit that target on a wide slice of PCs.
