cant get a consistent 60fps at all. sits around 50 most the time.

using mostly very high with 2xmsaa

Odd, I'm mostly getting 90+ fps with the same setup. Try turning ultra grass to very high, same with reflections (dunno if necessary for reflections, but ultra grass is a known GPU hog). Also, try turning shadows down to high, but then go into advanced options and turn high resolution shadows on.

When I tried most things maxed out, even then it was typically above 60 fps. Do you have all the advanced options turned on, I haven't tried any of them except for high resolution shadows.

well considering it's much more powerful than a 660 which is the recommended gpu for 1080p 60fps high...i was expecting a bit better than that.

I will say this game maxes out my i5 3570k at stock. It was maxing out a safe temp with the stock cooler. Having a cooler overnighted but this game clearly is cpu dependant.

Damn I had a feeling CPU would be the bottleneck for me but now I'm pretty sure my i5-3450 is going to have a hard time with this game.

We'll see. I'm 2 minutes from launching the game. Finally.
I really hope there are sliders to decrease vehicule density to ease the CPU like in IV or something.

EDIT : now it says 15 hours left. "Busy writing to disk". And it takes forever. With a 0 to 1% load for the Steam process. I need to be patient.I need to be patient.I need to be patient

I really don't see the benefit of Nvidia shadows or whatever it's called. Also I don't a see difference with Depth of field on or off or post FX. Framerate also goes to shit in the countryside.

The game is very well optimized. Something sounds mighty wrong there. On a clean install of the latest Catalyst drivers? Did you download the game off Steam or RSC?

Also check to make sure all the advanced settings are set to off/lowest before tweaking anything else.

yep, completely uninstalled everything AMD. downloaded the beta driver released yesterday and installed that. downloaded from steam and everything under advanced settings is off

Single OCed 970 + 3570K @ 4.2

1440P, 70-90 fps. Most settings are at default. FXAA. I believe it still sits solid around 60 with 2x MSAA + TXAA.

I can't wait for Andy's Nvidia breakdown of all the settings. It was a HUGE help when I was tweaking my system for Farcry 4.

Slackbladder · Apr 14, 2015

Well, what the fuck just happend? Just had a crash. Driver crash by the looks of it. No picture but sound was on and the application was running. So I close it and decide to install the new driver (which, by the way, finally goes in WITHOUT needing the Intel HD4000 to be installed at the same time which every other driver since March last year fucking required). Start the game and says it didn't close do I want Safe or normal. I choose Normal not knowing what "safe" entailed.
Anyway, game starts up and I can no longer choose a resolution above 1080p which I could before. It's like DSR is borked or missing. And there's me saying it was one of the best performing PC games I've ever played!
To be fair the game is virtually at MAX in everything and still looks great do it's not so bad. But why is DRS no longer working? A setting in the control panel?

Edit: Huh. Yeah, DSR was off. Guess the Driver update set it to default (off). Let's see how the game performs now. Hopefully no more crashes!

BigMastadon · Apr 14, 2015

Fired it up for a little bit last night and was impressed with how smooth everything felt. Put everything on the highest settings to see how it'd fair with my 970 and i7 4790k and it worked well. I have to order a long Ethernet cable as my wifi keeps dropping so that'll cause me to not play for a bit.

So far I'm impressed.

I thought adaptive vsync lets it run at any fps below 60, but syncs when the fps = 60. Which is the same thing as what I'm seeing, I'll see if running it through the driver helps getting it back to 60 faster like you say.

That is the correct understanding, just that performance is way better with adaptive when framerate is below the limit. Check it out and let me know. The difference was quite significant for me. Same with Crysis 3 as well. Also, do not turn triple buffering on for GTA V. Even though it improves performance in most games, it made it worse with GTA V. First game that I've come across where that happened.

From my understanding, DX11 is a more efficient API, so you'd be better off finding out what those features are and just disabling them in dx11 instead.

I only found those two features greyed out. I guess im gonna try disabling them using DirectX 11 and see what the difference is with 10.1 on the same settings. Thanks!

the game doesn't feel optimised at all. even tried capping it at 30fps but it still dips to 15-20fps. updating to the catalyst beta drivers helped but still not great. i've been playing about with settings for the last 8 hours or so. need to take a break. will go back to it tomorrow.

specs are i5-4590/8GB/290. seriously considering getting a refund (if i can). so disappointed as i built my pc for this game.

The game feels very optimized at my end. No problem with 60fps@1080p at somewhat-near-ultra with a 970. Perhaps Nvidia cars are more optimized for this game (I have no idea..)?

Windom Earle · Apr 14, 2015

Uh from what I saw the difference between high and very high shadows is dynamic shadows. Which is a HUGE difference.

Getting 60fps with these settings. Doesn't drop at all.

Intel Core i7-4770K
EVGA GeForce GTX 780ti
16GB Ram

It seems turning on MSAA kills my fps the most. Still quite impressed with how optimized it is overall. Haven't played a recent game that runs as smooth as this right off the bat.

I'm running close to the same settings except at 1080p with 4x TXAA, with a slightly slower CPU (3570k). Pretty solid 60 fps, but I may tweak it to get it rock solid. I want to tweak the advanced settings some more, but I'm running up against that memory limit hard.

Another BIG performance hit comes from running PostFX at Ultra. That seems to increase the lighting quality to provide better overall lighting. If you can at all swing it, try Post FX on Ultra!

Windom Earle · Apr 14, 2015

Performance difference between high/very high is not that high. The OP is a bit misleading in that regard. Shadow options in the advanced graphics options are demanding though, especially high shadow res.

viveks86 · Apr 14, 2015

I must say, the FPS mode is actually viable right now. I don't know if they've tweaked the lag or it's just the high performance, but driving as well as free-aiming actually feels satisfying now in first person.

wbEMX · Apr 14, 2015

Am I the only one having major problems with the download process of this game? Up until the 55GB mark everything went fine with my max download speed (about 1,3MB/s). Now, it just drops to low download rates (about 5-30kB/s) and then completely stops until I restart the download, which happens every 30 seconds. After I restart the DL it goes up to my max DL speed for a few seconds, then it dies again.

This is seriously fucked up. Wish Nuuvem had the Steam version up for sale.

Fullscreen seems to give me like 5 - 10fps more over borderless fullscreen. Never knew there was a difference between the 2 because I always used borderless whenever I could.

Any benchmarks for a 780 at 1440p?

I'm really hoping I can play this at decent settings, it certainly will influence how soon I but it.

780 user here but I haven't tried 1440p yet. I only played for a bit after the prologue but you could pretty much hit 60 and above with a good mix of max and high settings at 1080p.

To get ReShade+SweetFx working:

Copy SweetFx folder and SweetFx.fx to game folder
Copy ReShade64.dll to game folder and rename it to d3d11.dll
Start game. That gives you SMAA and sharpening filter, edit SweetFx_settings.txt to change.

The intro movie stutters like mad when ReShade is enabled but once you get into the game it works like a charm. Now the game looks so much clearer and runs snappy.

Shahadan · Apr 14, 2015

I get stuttering at random and it's annoying the hell out of me. I can't find the cause either, as I have lowered almost everything in the settings and it's still there.

Yea, I'll be doing this tonight.

Along with using driver vsync rather than in-game.

Hopefully that gets me the last of the way towards my ideal setup.

He has a 4GB 290, he should be getting better performance at 1080p than dips to 15-20fps on Normal settings. Something is up, either with his config or the AMD drivers.

blly I'm assuming you aren't running an overclock on the CPU right? Also what temperatures are you getting on your GPU while in game?

I would hazard a guess that you should be able to do at least High/Very High at 1080p with FXAA instead of MSAA at or near 60fps. If not its probably drivers.

Are you using MFAA? You could increase image quality or drop MSAA samples accordingly with it on (save more performance)
