I bet you could hold 60 with a few sacrifices to your settings. Maybe a couple things to high as opposed to max?

Unlocking. Slowwwwwwwwly....
Not exactly a looker is it? Not a single decent looking texture in that shot.

They told me my 2500K would be fine for next gen. :/

Cool sceenshots but It looks like this game could do with some sweetfx

I don't think that's going to save it.
Needs much higher resolution textures from what I've seen. And... some kind of color.

SweetFX doesn't perform miracles but it helps make up for texture work that lacks high frequency detail.

I think the opening is actually the game at its worst. Looks a lot better in the city and all of the indoor areas have decent to good textures. Lots of nice lighting effects in the game as well, shiny floors/clothes that reflect light, weapons light up the environment, etc.
IQ is still pretty bad at 1080P/SMAA though. Tempted to just lock it back at 30 again and downsample as much as I can
Have run into an annoying bug where the tutorial message for the map doesn't disappear, meaning I can't change the mission tracker or zoom in at all.
I heard about cutscenes driving 780ti's/Titans pretty hard in this game. 99% GPU utilization at 1080p with dips in the low 30s, or high 20s in the case of vanilla 780s. Can't wait to test it myself in a couple days.
Come to think of it, it reminds me of Lara's full head of TressFX hair in Tomb Raider, and how it tanks the frame rate during some of the cutscenes. What do you reckon is the cause in Dead Rising 3, subsurface scattering perhaps? I guess there's also the "self-shadowing" they've been talking about during streams.

Man, the thing I really dislike about preload in general is that the game doesn't open at midnight. :/

Is there no windowed mode?
Chance Hale

Alt+enter works but there doesn't seem to be a borderless window mode
There's definitely some weirdness with the framerate at 60 FPS. It's just dancing around like crazy for no reason. Dropped shadows down and it seemed like it improved.....and then it was back to near the same.
If there's a windowed mode you can use your choice of about 50 trivial tools to make it borderless fullscreen

I don't think I've ever purposely set a game to windowed mode so I wouldn't know! Just know it's a setting I see sometimes these days, lol.
Really wishing I had a g-sync'd monitor, outside of the starting area the framerate is just all over the 50s. Didn't seem to be a single setting that got the framerate stable, and I don't really want to drop too much. Will mess it with more later, although I might just lock it to 30 for better IQ until I get a Swift. Probably going to hook it up to the TV because the black bars are a bit distracting. Don't have a massive monitor so it's not ideal, and the game obviously isn't designed for it aesthetically.

Unfortunately it's DX11, so no GeDoSaTo support. Doesn't seem like the HUD can be disabled. Sigh

I'm getting a lot of crashes... three in the past half an hour.
What settings are you running at? About to attempt to play this at 1440p as well and would like to try to avoid the 15 fps cutscenes if possible.

Nope, and it's pretty distracting. Connected the game to my tv, tempted to fire up the Xbox One version and compare. I remember doing the same with Dark Souls II PC/PS3 and being horrified. "How did I spend 80 hours with this"

I can increase FOV
This is 100, lol.
Default is 47. Seemed kinda low.

47? Seriously? Is that what we've come to?

But isn't it visceral and in your face? You can just feel the depth!
What is the performance like people?

Motion blur hides the aliasing!
Chance Hale

Definitely hope someone finds a way to turn off some of the UI elements. Can't decide if I like the motion blur or not, think it looks better in motion.
Strangely terrible in the in engine cinematics for whatever reason. Mostly reasonable outside of it. Still a pretty big upgrade of the Xbox One version even with the issues.
What the game internally renders at. If you set it to 720p and your actual resolution is 1080p, it renders at 720p and upscales it to 1080p. Full renders it at whatever resolution you have set I believe.

Internal resolution of the game. First three are self explanatory but full just means it will render at the resolution of your monitor. Ie, if I was playing on an asus 4K monitor and had set resolution to 3840 x 2160 it would render the game at 4K. Or not because my videocard would probably explode given how hot it gets at 1080P.

I can't unlock it via Private Tunnel can I?

If you're happy with 30 FPS you're probably fine. I'm running it at max while others are using 1440P resolution.

I ran it at 5120x2880. Big mistake....
It'd make sense if you could set the internal rendering resolution to a value greater than "full" as this would allow for downsampling without any external tools/trickery.
Edit: ricochetguro raises a valid point.
Chance Hale

It's for UI scaling. You'll notice that if you drop the internal resolution the UI stays at the resolution of your choice. If someone with a lower end graphics card can't handle 1080P they can change the rendering resolution to 720P and continue to have the UI look sharp. The Xbox One version did this.
I usually like downsampling games from absurd resolutions for a minute or two just for fun but I'm too scared to do so with this game, lol.
That's actually a pretty interesting point. It's cool that they have such an indepth feature, but pretty weird for a PC game to think like that. I guess under the hood all this was taken into account when they made the original version, since it was sub-1080p iirc?
Doesn't look PS2 quality but I'm not that big of a graphics person. I prefer the enjoyment of slicing through waves and waves of zombies, which is what Dead Rising 3 is in the end. If you enjoy an endless horde action game this is for you.
