I'm getting slight stutter at max settings with 2x Film AA(whatever its called) @ 1080P,very inconsistent frames.
I7 5820K@ 4.3GHZ
GTX 980 TI G1
16GB DDR4@ 2133MHZ
Windows 10 64-Bit
Driver: 358.87
Yet sometimes it is smooth as hell, similar thing was happening with Advanced Warfare however that was on a GTX 970 SLI set-up.

What is your VRAM usage?

Hmm I haven't checked,I'll make sure to do so next time I play,nothing is running in the background besides Steam/Game and MSI Afterburner.
Memory usage is kind of ridiculous. After a while the game starts to become very stuttery.
This is with 8GB ram, a 980 and a 4670k. Nothing weird is running in the background; I just did a reboot.
So game is still insane memory hog for no good reason? My friend will be so happy... At least I can bruteforce it, again, thanks to having 16GB of RAM.

BO2 is my favorite COD. Only reason I'm afraid to buy this is the low player count on PC. I'm from Asia and Titanfall died fast even though it has dedicated servers.
The Blops 2 player count has always been really good all things considered. It sits at a pretty stable 8-12k. Its not CSGO or Dota 2 numbers, but its good enough that you can find a game in pretty much all the modes.
Yes. Turning textures and shadow map quality to high seems to help, but still... It doesn't look like a game that needs more than 8gb to run well.
I can get a solid 120fps with those two options turned down. If I set them to extra, it stutters like crazy.

Are you using vsync when you get the stuttering?

The highest settings in the beta cached a lot of stuff into VRAM and system RAM. I have a screenshot somewhere of 1080p using like 8.5 gigs of VRAM at the highest settings.

When I tried the BO3 Beta I had stuttering with Extra High Textures as well...dialing them down a notch seemed to fix the issue more or less...looks like there still may be an issue with them
No. It really seems to be caused by a lack of memory. It works fine until it reaches 90-99% and I can get a solid 120fps if I turn down some memory consuming settings.
Yeah. Even just in the main menu the game uses 4gb ram.
So do I. For a franchise which has lost a lot of ground on PC they still try to present things nicely.
I really loved Advanced Warfare on PC, superb tech and performance from my experience (780, 970 then 980). Ghosts did not run very well at launch for me, and still does not even today.

Hopefully we will see some optimization patches on this? I remember Black ops 2 getting some for PC when that launched.
Seems some of the issues I had in the beta are still present.

Tweeted PCDev about the high memory usage, hopefully he replies.
He ignored the issue during beta by using "We are optimising" angle, but apparently they didn't optimise shit. I guess I put game to low - medium again with my 980Ti so it doesn't stutter and drop frames like motherfucker

Ehh the game is eating 2GB? that's kinda low. Most games goes beyond that, heck my Dota 2 usally eats up to 3GB
I'm running
i5 6600K
16GB DDR4
980Ti
BO3's Beta put my rig to its knees, and provided me with very unstable framerate and unhealthy amount of stuttering. Memory usage, RAM and VRAM, was off the hook for no good reason, even after I lowered settings to gain more stable framerate. This initial info about retail version also eating up memory like candy doesn't create confidence in me :/

Because it's not needed unless the game is poorly optimised (Batman is a good example). I did just nearly order another 8GB though, but stopped myself. That £40 could be better spent elsewhere right now.
My system doesn't even come close to using 5-6 gb without the game running.
Few games "need" 16gb but it can be beneficial in some cases.
Battlefront :
8gb

I suppose the 12GB TX handles it like a champ? I'm thinking about purchasing to play the campaign over the weekend before FO4 hits.
I was seeing 7+ GB of RAM usage through out of whole beta. Best part was it kept creeping up and up longer I played. If it was because of mem leak and they patched I wonder how late into betas life cycle they did patch it then, last day?

Okay, Dictator here are my usage stats:
RAM: 5000-7800 MB usage
VRAM: 5GB or so average,Afterburner does say my max was 6121
Sliding is still achieved by tapping crouch while running, yes. I don't know if you can go prone as I didn't think to try, but I'm sure someone else can provide an answer.

There should be no reason it should take up this much. Is this going to be an easy fix for them or would it need a full revamp?

I think my 2GB 760 just starting weeping.

YOu have the 980Ti right? If the highest amount used in Afterburner is right, then it could be using more than it should at times. I wonder if the highest (extra) settings caches as much as it can, or literally just does not stop caching...
Hah. I probably will not end up buying the game...but I am momentarily interested in it on a technical level. Their engine seems pretty awesome and this looks like a solid pc version from what I can see so far.
2gb is not cutting it anymore for AAA games unless you play at 720p.

Considering the work they've put into this version, we can assume they'll be patching these issues out relatively soon
I think the game is just aggressive with its caching. I have a 4GB GPU and played through the first mission without stutter issues at 1080p with max settings (albeit with AA set to SMAA 1x).

The fact a GTX 970 can probably run most other things at max and look better than this game is really fucking sad by Treyarch.
They recommend 60GB of free space and I'm currently, slowly, downloading 44.5GB worth of installation files.

Some conflicting views so far. I wouldn't start shit throwing just yet.

Is this even an easy fix?

Sensitivity issue that they said they fixed in the BETA is still there. That being the Sensitivity being linked to the frame rate. I like getting high frame rates. So I have everything on low bar textures and I cant even get a stable 120 FPS.

No issue getting over 150 on Battlefield 4. Poorly optimised trash.

Don't put Textures and Shadow Maps on EXTRA = Problem Solved.
Runs buttery smooth with all stuff on High.
