I feel as though that's a rule of thumb to settings that applies across the board to all PC games. If you're having framerate issues, lowering shadows seems to always give a huge performance boost...
Gotcha. I was hoping to set up a profile for this game, but after looking at it, it's not possible. It's system level
I guess i'll go nuts on a second playthrough
then again im getting 1.9gb vrm usage on some areas so I figure that if I go even bigger it might get unplayable
So not sure if this is a performance issue or not...but when I click left mouse button with the first gun I got sometimes it won't shoot. I click it several times and then suddenly there's a burst of successful shots. Is this just characteristic of 1910 handguns or is this a performance issue?

Same boat as you, I shoot it over to my 60inch plasma. I use a wired 360 gamepad though

That's a sexy setup, sir. Nice TV.
That depends on how picky you are. The thing about downsampling is that games just look better and better the higher you go. And when you have a decent view distance, objects further away benefit from higher downsampling even more.
Also, I post in that thread regularly. I play with all the settings I take my screenshots at. Some people just have that hardware
Thanks for the tips, I will play around with the settings once I have cleared my current playlist, hopefully the game will be even further optimized by then.
Also, my mistake, I thought the bullshot thread was all about pushing your hardware to ridiculous degrees and sacrifice playability over looks, but it is certainly nice to hear that the games are playable with those settings. I haven't really played any newer titles, so I haven't really been pushing my hardware all that much (I am going through my backlog in a somewhat chronological order), but it is great to see that I am in for a treat once I get that far in my library.

Gotta love Plasma, I'm playing on an older 8G 50" Pioneer Kuro via HDMI w/ wireless 360 controller and I'm still impressed by it's PQ every time I fire up a game.

Runs perfectly well on High on my laptop which has an 2.2ghz i7, GT635m and 6gig of ram.
Some stutters here and there but its much more playable than the PS3 version which I saw this afternoon

This game has sooooo many movies on start-up. Which ones do I get rid of again?
This game is god damn gorgeous!
The way the city moves, and how the people move. Yes there are some noticable low-rez textures, but nothing thats more than background stuff with no interaction on it, but it doesnt break the immersion for me.
I got some pretty bad screen tearing playing on windows borderless, but thats the only issue i've had so far.
Playing with everything on max, turned on 8x supersampling in Nvidia Inspector but it doesnt seem to be working (I haven't read this thread for information on this stuff yet).
I'm also playing at 3200x1800 resolution downsampled to 1080p, and I think its dropped under 60fps one time during combat so far.
comp specs
i5 2500K OC'ed to 4.5ghz.
16gb 1866mhz ram
2 x 680 oc'ed 10% each

I ran the benchmark, my PC is an AMD Phenom X4 3.2 GHz, 6GB DDR3 RAM and an AMD 5770 1GB.
Doing the benchmark at 1080p on Ultra (no diffusion) gave me averages from between 40-65 and the lowest minimum was 14, although I didn't notice it.
The only side was the horrible tearing.

Whut? No problem here with mouse stuttering. Turn of vsync and mouse acceleration if you haven't.
upped the textures to high and i'm still getting minimal stuttering (i7 2600k/sc 580)
this game is fucking amazing jesus christ it looks good
also combat on hard is thrilling, at first i was getting annoyed that i lost money when i died but i'm in a good place now, handling fights capably, but you still fucking die in about two seconds out in the open, shield lasts for one second and the health goes in another. but like i said, doing well now and it feels great to triumph in combat

I already have. Stuttering might not be the right word, but it's most certainly not as smooth as you'd expect from any fps game (I'm running it at 60fps so that's not the problem), it's noticeably less smooth than the 360 pad.

Crappy mouse or crappy mouse drivers
Nope, works fine in 99.9% of games, there's a few fps/3rd person games that are just obviously made with the 360 pad in mind as the main control input, and this is one of them (Bioshock 1 was another). It's not that bad, as I'm still playing with a mouse simply because the hotkeys make up for the less smooth mouse look, but it's noticeable.
Also the game is brilliant so far. Would have been amazing if the pc version was pitch perfect, there are just a few niggles which should be easily fixable in a patch. I hope they do.

I had to kill Fraps and MSI Afterburner before it worked for me.
Or manually back up the save file, which should be possible.
I have both EVGA Precision X and Fraps open, that might just have something to do with it...
EDIT: This has worked. Thanks.
I haven't noticed any issues with the mouse other than fixing the ridiculous sensitivity in the ini file. Turned off mouse accel and kept vsync on and it's great.
The save system sucks. Period. I'd dock a point in a review just for that. PC doesn't deserve a single game checkpointed system.

Missing Titan on the benchmark chart. I have a Titan and will see how it performs tonight!

So did anyone who is messing with the ini's come across an option for corpse duration? One of the things that bothers me about action games is how quickly they disappear. So many different ones, wouldn't know where to look
I noticed that, too. I wanted to see how it compared to the 690. They're both $1000.

LETS DO THIS
Which GPUs are you two using? My PC is still in progress but I am planning on hooking it up to my 60" Pioneer Kuro whenever I get finished with it. I know that means I am going no higher than 1080p but I would like to get a card that won't be outdated in just a few months. How well does a 7950 or 670 seem to be running this game?
I had a 4GB 670 but had to sell it a couple weeks ago
I have a 660ti and I'm running at 1080p ultra with shadows/ssao at normal. I get 60 fps for the most part but it seems like my fps periodically drops to 30 or will lock up for a second and go back to 60.
Is this the type of stuttering the ini tweak fixes? Also which line in the ini do you tweak? I searched poolsize and nothing was found.
