I'm considering building a new PC aiming for 4k gaming with 60 fps in mind for D2. Out of curiosity what ballpark total cost should I expect? (I don't have a 4k monitor). I'm assuming something around $1.5k - 2.5k?

Destiny 2 PC performance thread
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
Vega 56 is the cheapest GPU that will handle Destiny 2 at 4K 60fps (just turn down DOF to high and Ambient Occlusion to HBAO). That and a 6 core Ryzen ought to do it.
Vega 56 - $400
Ryzen 1600 - $200
Mobo - $100
16GB of DDR4 - $125
500GB SSD - $150
4-5TB HDD - $100
PSU - $50
Case - $75
KB & M - $100
So you're looking at ~$1300 plus the monitor.

Isnt this game cpu light? Is be surprised if a core i3 wouldnt suffice for 60 fps. He could cut down the price by a couple hundred between that and a cheaper MB. Can also get a basic kb+m for like 30$. Ssd isnt needed that saves another $150
Destiny 2 uses up to 8 cores. Also, buying a 4 core CPU, you're really limiting the long term potential as more and more games are using more than 4. 6 is minimum in 2017 IMO, 8 is ideal. And I would never build a computer without an SSD as of 2015 or so. The difference in response on everything is huge. Lastly, he could save some on the KB & M but why spend $1000+ on a PC and then cheap out on the part you touch every time you use it? Just spend a lil bit more and get something that feels nice.
The build is already coming out in the lower range of what he expected, I wouldn't cheap out more personally.

Thanks that's a pretty helpful place to start! I honestly will probably stick to Nvidia for now even though I hear great things about the Vega. Does anyone have a good 4k monitor guide I can take a look at? I'm capable of doing my own research but am working right now and if anyone has any good references that'd be helpful.

I dunno though, my 4-core i7 6700K handles this game beautifully and it's not even overclocked.
edit: would it be worth my time to learn how to overclock? would I see better performance?
you have nothing to worry about with that processor...i have mine running at 4.5 or 4.6 GHz right now. my motherboard Asus Hero VIII had the built in software for the Overclock...cant say I've seen a huge difference but any gain we ca get for free, may as well take it. she will hold you down for a long time my man no need to think she really needs the extra juice

After the latest patch the 3D Ambient Occlusion takes up 15fps MORE than HDAO. Is this the same for other 970 users?

Damn. I have a 980 Ti but I'm going to test this, as I prefer the look of 3D over HDAO.

For some reason v-sync randomly stopped working for me. It turns off automatically every time I start the game

Can't believe I just bought this.
Can I play this at 1080p/high settings over 144fps?

I was hoping the inconsistency of my framerates would have been fixed in a patch or with the latest drivers but nope, still getting anywhere from 120 fps to as low as 49fps @ 1080p which is quite disappointing.

Bought this a couple of days ago after playing both console versions a lot.
Im running it mostly very high and some of the blur/dof stuff turned down.
2560×1080 Freesync at 75hz
Fps goes up to 200 and down to 42 if not locked.
Still rocking FX8350 @ 4.2 with cpu usage at around 60%
R9-290X with a very high fan profile...
Currently building Ryzen 1600x with a GTX1060 6GB and hoping for a more stable fps without locking it.

I get weird mouse stutter on the menu, doesn't seem based on drivers as I downgraded and it's still happening. Recent game updates?

Update.
FX8350 now with ROG 1060 6gb is a 60fps lock on max settings 2560x1080.

I am using a Ryzen 5 1600 OC @ 3,95GHz with a 1080Ti on 1440p and I get constant 100fps+. I am not reaching constant 165fps though even if I turn down all settings. It seems that Ryzen is just not fast enough. A friend using a i7-8700k OC @ 5GHz is reaching constant 165fps with the same setup.
Overall I am quite happy with the performance though. 100fps+ feels great @ 1440p.
