Anyone else feel the FoV is too narrow even for 90? Can I increase it more?

It does indeed, wonder if fix is possible. It's a shame when indie like Virginia fully supports it ant this doesn't.

Oooh. Good. Was worried my performance was ok due to less than 1080p.

running this on a win10, 5960x @ 4.5ghz, (2x) Titan X-Pascal's in SLI (though the game doesn't seem to use SLI as of current), at 4k (3840x2160).
Performance is fine until I switch to SMAA, then it runs like ass in certain areas.
Textures in game look very low-res, especially outdoors and on certain things indoor. If I up the resolution scale any higher than 1, it murders framerate, but does increase texture quality.
However, I note that at a resolution scale of 1, and even though my resolution is set to 3840x2160, it doesn't at all seem like the game engine is actually running at that res. It appears to do the same as, say, Quantum Break does for PC (or as it initially did), where it's still rendering at a far lower native resolution internally and only upscaling that to my native desktop resolution.
I say this because aliasing and texture quality is far lower than it should be for a in-game 4k resolution setting. It's as if the engine is actually running internally at 720p and upscaling to 3840x2160 (like Quantum Break).
thus implying its a shoddy console port.
Game looks fun though, just ruins the immersion when it looks rather lackluster from low-res textures.

Is there a memory leak in this game or something? I can play it for about 30-45 mins before it starts stuttering like crazy and becomes basically unplayable. Area independent, I can load the same area after an autosave after alt-f4'ing and it's fine.
Also, to the dude asking about the FOV: there's an ini in the game directory that has two different FOV settings (FOV and playerFOV). I bet you can play around with that and make it as wide as you want.

Can someone give me the definitive settings for HDR. Is it ok to use 422 or does it have to be 420? Is it ok to use 12 bit or does it have to be 10 bit? I'm referring to my settings in NVidia control panel
Are you playing with interlaced rendering? Set it to normal.
3840x2160. Tried with vsync on and off, 30, 60 and variable fps.Hmm... When selecting a resolution in game are there multiple selections for 3840x2160? Sometimes there will be more than one, 3840x2160 @30 and 3840x2160 @60 for example.
It's hard to trouble shoot this from work and not sitting in front of my rig.
Yes, HDR is working.
If I set the resolution to 1920x1080 I can set 59.97Hz.
Strange.

It's all over guys. Sell your 1080s and convert to last gen AMD technology.

I have a 980, what would it be comparable to on that graph?

I have one of those fake ass HDR TVs, problem is this game likes to activate the fake HDR of my TV. So my TV settings change but that's not really the issue, it's when this game is in HDR mode it looked horrible, like everything became weird bright brown and crushed blacks. So I of course turned off HDR and then it went super bright, changing the brightness in game all the way low I don't get anywhere close to making the coin be not visable. So I had to manually lower the brightness of the TV.
It seems to look ok now but I really don't have a basis as to what this game is supposed to look like. I don't know if I am still too bright or is the lighting off.

Tried both, interlaced looks a tadbit worse than normal, but provides a seemingly higher framerate if I up the resolution multiplier. But for now, running it at normal, 1x res scale, all other settings maxed.
My guess would be between R9 470 and 1070, but I'm an amateur

Found out why they left it out
That's discouraging. In the demo I got drops from 60 right down to 20something for no reason when turning in certain areas. Just assumed it was a bug.
I also have a 980 but didn't try the demo yet. Hoping for the best though.
Are you connected to a television? I actually had this problem once with an LG 4k. I got around it by creating a custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel.

480 > 1060 so the game is definitely favoring Radeons - or maybe it's just Polarises?
1060. But this benchmark have very questionable results.

480 and 1060 tend to go back and forth. What surprises me on this one is how much the 480 wins by (at least in the Guru3D graph). Also that shows the 480>1070 which is very surprising (not to mention the 390x near a 1080).

This game has problems on a 970. I get huge fps drops and almost like full area loads when moving around. Spinning around in a circle drops a ton of frames. The card fans kick up pretty fast.

GTX970
i5-4690K
16gb RAM
Windows 10
Newest drivers that came out today.
Everything running 60fps steady without any hitching with all settings up except textures were on High instead of Very High.
There's lots of shimmering though (looks like it was way too sharp, for example
and shadows were somewhat screendoor patterned but that seemed to disappear after fiddling with the settings some more.
What is the recommended AA and Ambient Occlusion settings? I think I have FXAA and HBOA+ at the moment.

Yup this is exactly what I saw in the demo on my 980. Turning quickly drops the framerate in half.
Have you tried turning off blur?
My game won't launch when I edit those lol. Am I doing something wrong? You also have to set FovHackEnable=false to FovHackEnable=true, correct? Not working. Game crashes on start.
edit: yeah, people on Steam forums are saying the game crashes on startup when editing the FOV values.
Yes a Samsung TV (JS8005).
I don't have this issue with other games.

Are you using VSync with 60 FPS lock?
HBAO+ implementation is a bit buggy on some objects. The shadows are moving when your camera moves. It's a bit distracting sometimes, so i'm back to SSAO.

I've tried with Vsync/No Vsync + Variable, and 60, all the same result.

480>1070...
what?
what?
Had this same issue. After changing game settings that caused about 15 crashes and 4 complete system lock ups that caused me to reboot, I launched the game and 5.1 just worked.
I have no idea.

Can't even play. It just freezes at the create a new save screen. I looked around and it seems like a common issue with no workaround. Great.
Damn. Well, try a custom res anyway. I game on a KS8000 and before one firmware updates, the television wouldn't properly report all supported resolutions properly. So try a firmware update as well? Running out of ideas here.
I haven't had a chance to really dive into the RE7 setting yet either but maybe there is something that is set that is locking you at 30fps?
PetriP-TNT

That combination dips the frames per second to 30fps if your FPS dips under 60 (say 59.something) even for fraction of a second and then takes time to recover back. The ways to avoid this is to (approx.):
1) Use vsync with variable framerate with caps it to 60 without dropping
2) Use variable framerate and force vsync via Nvidia control panel
3) Use 60 frames locked but this might lead to screen tearing (or worse).
The TV has the latest firmware. I have gone through the game settings.
Thanks for your suggestions! I'm going to test a custom res tomorrow.

I had this same issue on a 1080 running at 3840x2160 with VSYNC and a capped 60 FPS in HDR mode.
I capped it at 30 and that fixed the dialog issues, and it honestly seems to play perfectly fine at 30 FPS to me since it's not a real twitch game, but I may mess with using an external frame limiter and running it uncapped.
I also haven't updated to new drivers today, so I have no idea what impact that would have.

Deactivate shadow cache.

What do I have to do to make this game not look awful on PC in video tape sections? I don't remember it looking like this on PS4 back then. Help?

Yeah, PCGH.de results are more in line with what you'd expect: Resident Evil 7: Technik-Test mit Grafikkarten-Benchmarks - gruselig mit weniger als 4 GiB Grafikspeicher
Still, 480 is considerably ahead of 1060 which is surprising.
