Well, those textures are certainly refreshing after playing RE6 for a few days lol

Benchmark results (1680x1050, UltraDX11_DDOF preset):
Specs: 8GB DDR3-1600, 2600K @ 4.6GHz, 2GB GTX 670 SLI (314.22 drivers).
Edit: A couple of people wanted 1080p benchmarks when the Tomb Raider thread went up, so here are my results at 1920x1200 with the same in-game settings as above:
Where does the benchmark save the files to? Can't seem to find them
edit: nvm found them
Don't man, save yourself. The console textures... It looks worse than RE5.

I wouldn't recommend it for your health experiencing RE6's textures. They almost gave me a heart attack!
Thanks for these. Dumb question, but where should the XUserOptions.ini be located? I tried finding it in steamapps -> common -> BioShock Infinite -> XGame with no luck.
edit: nevermind, found it. It's in My Documents -> My Games -> Bioshock Infinite
Dunno if you're able to just "setFOV= " again like in Bioshock.Baconsaurus Rex

Weird frame drops when approaching some of the NPC's scripted scenes. Drops back from 60 fps to 30 when I get close to
(tagged it just to be safe)
60 fps locked when I'm at a 5m distance but suddenly drops when I get nearer.

Can I just set FOV to my Valve standard of 90? I can't take these sliders!
High:
Ultra:
The maximum reported framerates always seems to vary wildly (see my benchmarks posted earlier), but the average framerate differences between the two settings are virtually non-existent.
Edit: I just compared VRAM usage between the two settings: 1522MB on High versus 1566MB on Ultra.

Isn't there a Very High option in between High and Ultra?

Is the PC version ~17gb?
Nope, although curiously there is a Very Low option.
Edit: I assume you're referring to the texture size option.
Yeah, 16.9GB.
No texture pack, just a misunderstanding.
Can you elaborate?
Sorry, I've removed myself from the OT so I probably missed something.
There's really not much to elaborate on.
The pre-load on Steam is all the game has to offer and the Ultra-level "HD" textures are included in the base PC game. It's about 17GB in size total, not close to 30GB as some were predicting.

The sliders are in the graphics menu in game. Doens't have numbers just a slider though
Also weird thing, the game runs great for me maxed out. 80 fps at times in busy carnival areas BUT every now and then it will freeze for a split second like it's loading something which cause this sort of laggy jerk in motion
Don't the HD texture packs usually come after the game is released? And seperately to avoid destroying peoples caps?
I thought you had a statement from Ken or something.
BTW, I know the game is out in other regions, doesn't mean its over yet.
You sure you aren't experiencing screen tearing because you don't have vsync on?

That's UE3's patented streaming engine™ alright. Those hitches, jerks and pauses happen as the game dynamically loads new areas into RAM from the HDD.
The solution for this problem in previous UE3 games was to increase the Poolsize number in the Game's Engine.ini file under the heading [TextureStreaming] to a larger number.
Also ensure OnlyStreamInTextures under the [SystemSettings] heading in the same ini file is set to FALSE.

we should do what we did for the witcher 2 performance thread, since we have benchmark tool just post specs and benchmark numbers in the OT.

Did you unlock the game yet? A lot of people here are using VPN's into other regions to unlock early..

Regarding High/Ultra textures: there's virtually no difference in average performance between the two and there's a mere ~40MB VRAM penalty associated with the latter. Coupling this with the 10GB difference between the minimum and recommended amount of free space would lead me to believe that higher-resolution textures are missing.
Edit: And as I mentioned earlier, the game is currently 16.9GB installed, which falls around the minimum spec.

ooohhhh
Quick. Someone tweet Ken, I think we need confirmation before we go up in arms.
I agree with Jase, seems suspicious.

As far as I know, the original source of the belief in a texture pack came from a misreading of an Irrational blog post about the PC version.
They said merely that "full resolution" textures would be included out of the box, and that it would ship on 3 DVDs. That is presumably the same 15gb of data that we pre-loaded on Steam.
The other piece of information we had was the recommended HD space, which was 30gb, so people concluded from that there must be 10-15 more gigs of data beyond the 15gb game install on Steam. It's possible that the 15gb file blows up to 20 or 30gb, so there's no need to posit an additional texture pack to explain the recommended HD requirements.
So, it's possible, based on all this, that there never was a higher res texture pack to begin with.
On the other hand, based on JaseC's posts, maybe there is and it's not released yet for some reason.

Hmm
Is it possible that depending on the amount of free space, the game will decompress itself to varying degrees? I don't know the technical details of Steam installers.
Ah, right. That is indeed reason to be suspicious.
Maybe the high res textures won't be available until it unlocks in North America. Because America deserves the best.
Oh God Ben, what have they done to you?!
Gabe, is that you?

Minimum framerate looks terrible.

Oh wow lol
That'd be due to caching issues, I assume. It's a pity there's no way to re-run the benchmark in-game, as I'm sure the minimum framerate would go up with most of the pertinent data being retained in RAM.

Looking at my Local Files Disc Usage it shows 17348MB, so its possible that the HD pack may not be released yet?

Any idea how to get SGSSAA working?
Also, my results from the benchmark with a slightly overclocked 670 and an i5 2500K (4.8Ghz) at 1080P on ultra

Hmm
Any chance the 30 gb space is recommended so you have space for DLC?
So such a low fps happens only at the beginning of the each benchmark? If yes, that its not a problem.
