Ok, that Wiki fix helped alot. Here is a question with people changing the config file. If they decide to patch the game, will the patch overide our changed settings?
probably but that patch would hopefully be to fix this anyway
if more people report better results with that last memorypool min/max fps thing I might try it. Im still getting some stutter
So when people say they get stuttering, do they mean when they look at certain areas you see a framerate drop? If I run native res and even if I downsample a bit, looking around or at certain places makes my frames noticeably drop and I am not sure why when my fps are 60 otherwise. Kind of weird.
no, that's probably the game just being too demanding, if those specific areas are graphically intensive
what I mean by stuttering is the game getting slideshow-y while entering a new area/doing certain things that seem to take some sort of in-game loading.
It's never been a case of looking at a certain thing or anything like that
I could be fighting 5 handymen and the framerate wouldnt drop one damn frame, but then I walk to a new landmark and the game halves the framerate for a couple seconds
care to share?
My custom config
It's a mix of high end visuals but great performance. I disabled AO.
I just find that weird on SLI GTX 580s. I have dynamic shadows and AO on one setting from below ultra and the rest on ultra. Is the game really that demanding?

Edit: wrong thread.
might be another thing then
then again it could have specific SLI issues or something. When testing that sort of thing a newer single card is bound to get less issues
im on a 680 btw
Well for instance in the garden area, if I walk around a bit and look at the two people sitting down on the fountain towards the second area, I can noticeably see my framerate drop at native res. Then I bump the resolution from 1920x1200 to 2560x1600 to downsample, and I get 60fps everywhere but the same drops. Doesn't make sense. Ugh.
are you using the in-game vsync?
I had that. Drops to 30 as soon as I got close to people and stuff like that
disabled the in-game "lock framerate" thing and forced d3doverrider, problem solved
But I can't do that with sweetfx can I?
nope
im just downsampling + in-game AA. Tolerable small jaggies, looks wonderful 99 percent of the time

Camera movement while using a mouse is extremely jittery for me... way too bothersome. I messed around with sensitivity and edited the xUserOptions.ini to mess around with the slider but it's still there no matter the settings. Camera movement is working perfectly fine with a controller. D3doverrider is controlling v-sync but that didn't do much.
Any known fixes for this? I'm on a 6870 and it performs really well, besides this mouse issue.

I don't think downsampling will work for me, I get a little bit of slowdown for some reason.
What is a good resolution for just a bit of downsampling with 16:10? 2560x1600 is too much. I don't really know downsampling well enough to mess with it without it making the game blurry.
Thanks for the help here btw.

This profile is amazing, but I miss D3D Overrider, not sure what I like more, im probably gonna go with the SweetFX profile, game looks blurry without it.

The stuttering or frame rate drops I get are what looks like areas loading in the backround. For example, in the beginning I was at a point where it would stutter, I would take a few steps back and some npcs and far off building would disappear. Stepping forward and it would stutter briefly as those npc's and backround graphics would reappear. It is like LOD or a setting to allow a farther draw distance.
Is this what some of you are experieince this odd stutter?

Ok, my game wont load now that I used the Wiki settings. Can someone tell me what the default settings were?

Ok, I changed to 1024 and it wouldnt load. I think it was at 512 so I went with 768 and now it works again. Seems 1024 was too much for me.
That's the exact resolution I'm downsampling from. Was using 2880x1800 for a bit but went down for some extra frames as well as to make the UI stuff a bit larger. I think 2560x1600 is a nice middle-ground that gives you good results while still keep things large enough for the most part.

Walkthrough part 1 for those who are interested. I also discussing a couple of the smaller tweaks.
Bioshock Infinite Walkthrough part 1
For me the main reducing of stuttering occured with the memory pool change and background loading change.

For people using the Wiki changes to the memory pool to smoothen framerate and stuttering: Does this also get rid of tearing or do I still have to run D3DOverrider on top of that?

When Fink Proper first loaded for me, the framerate was at an unplayable level for no apparent reason. Loading checkpoint didn't fix it, so I had to reboot. Opened the game again and the framerate was buttery smooth in the exact same area. Wat.
I encountered a Washington a bit later on and it was still running great. Then I turned around and there were four guards in my face and the framerate shit itself again. I killed them all. Still a mess. I tried dying. Nope. Had to close the game again.

dude.... don't look in the high res thread. some truly scary destruction of this game's art going on there.

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove text from the skyhook (I don't mean the control panel option on gameplay) The text that says you can "attach" or the text that shows up when you want to "dismount" and jump off to the ground. Don't really need it. It shows a green glowy thing already.

I'm not sure what the problem is? Downsampling creates custom resolutions available to the whole system but you don't have to apply them to your desktop. Just choose the higher resolution from the game menu, and they'll only be used for that game.
The stupidest thing is that you can disable it for the controller, but not the mouse. Wat
Yeah, you can. I think it's in gameplay options. I can't remember what the toggle is called, but it's definitely there.

I have a GT540M, i5-2430M @ 2.4 ghz, 6GB. I feel like that should be getting around 30fps on medium, but my laptop never seems to perform as I'd hope it would. Sometimes I get really smooth FPS, other times it's probably around 25 or less and does not feel nice. Really wish I could see this game on my desktop, but this is running just barely adequately enough that it's too tempting to not play.

Anyone getting weird audio issues?
I find that sources of audio are only loud when I look at them, if I start to turn away they fade until they disappear completely.
It's hard to describe, I might try getting a video of it.

It's explained in the game lore. Booker's ears are on the front of his face.
Do we know for a fact that the auto-aim actually affects the mouse? I've had it disabled through the ini from the start so I can't tell. A lot of PC ports have an auto-aim option in case you plug in a controller, but that shouldn't affect the mouse unless something is wonky.
I wonder if this is fucking people up when they try to go for headshots, lol. I assume the auto-aim focuses on the chest area.

For those of you who want to restore the default config files, just delete the files in your XGame>Config folder. Launch Infinite and the default config files will be loaded.

I'm only like an hour and a half into the game and I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not because it sounds weird enough that it could be true.
You can disable the color enhancement stuff so SweetFX doesn't affect it. I only use SMAA and Lumasharpen myself.
Same.
Nvidia or AMD?

What's this Sweet FX business everyone is talking about? Can someone link me some shots so I know how it looks?
