Looks like no HDR on PC it seems.

Runs like a dream so far
Ultra 1440p on a 1080ti / G-Sync
I get about 70-80 fps in the office but GPU usage is sitting at 70%max. CPU at about 30%
So I guess there is still some room for optimization.
Some textures look a bit rough but overall I like the visuals
What is your CPU?
THat GPU utilisation is a bit concerning.

Not bad. Hopefully, performance on more modest specs seems okay for more people. I'm on a i5-3570k/970. I remember being able to tolerate the first game at launch.

Can anyone get SLI working? I wonder if there is a compatible profile out there.
Such a damn shame about HDR. This game would have looked amazing with HDR support...

Man I sure hope so. Running SLI 1080's and I don't think 1 could handle 4k/60FPS

VPN worked for me. Are you logging onto the VPN before starting Steam?
I signed in a Hong Kong VPN, and the game began unpacking right away.

What time does it normally unlock?

My Titan X Pascal card is getting 40-45 fps at 4K with settings dialed up or down. Thank GOD there are no frame skips like TEW1. Port seems really nice so far.
I just wish I could get it to 60fps. Game isn't that much of a looker for it to not hit 60 fps on one 1080ti or Titan xp, but it seems to be struggling.

Hard pass. 60fps on lowest settings looking at a wall? That's awful. I'm guessing it hits around 40fps in combat?
yes, every other game has unlocked early via expressvpn but not this

Low GPU utilisation again. Hrmmm while looking at a non-descriptive wall... and with rather low CPU thread utilisation...

On noooo :'( :'(
Thanks for your impressions FlibbertiGibbet. Maybe it's worth waiting until an SLI profile is found to work...
That exact scene there drops by 1 fps maxed out for me. Vsyc at 60.
edit: if I disable vsyc it stays at 64. wtf
Why does Lowest use more CPU than Ultra?

Is 8gb of Ram an issue or no? Is the framerate capped at 60fps or unlocked?
GavinUK86

Ram should be fine, no framerate cap.

nope runs like butter (G-Sync). I am very sensitive to microstuttering.
Are u playing uncapped?
Dictator93
Member
CPU utilisation is higher probably because the game is pushing more frames to the GPU.
Although if the game scaled properly across threads with settings (as in they were proportional), they would be more or less 1:1.
So looking at the screens, the game can process the base game logic more efficiently (gameplay code) than it can process code related to the graphical options in the menu.
Skyr
Member
Yes, G-Sync is doing a great job of not making me notice any framerate fluctuation.

Are you on the game ready driver 387.92?
Did you follow the Steam-related instructions in post #2 to the letter?
BadAss2961

Yes, i checked it before. I notice the framerate fluctuation very strong with uncapped Fps.
It unlocks in AU, NZ and Asia in:
In unlocks in Europe in:
It unlocks in the rest of the world in:

even though its not running great, something a patch might sort out, its still pretty enjoyable so far. im actually playing it at 21:9 on a 16:9 screen because i enjoyed having the bars in the first game. its way more... cinematic?... this time around. less resident evil more stylish silent hill.
Translucent materials (the glass) are actually one of the most expensive things in a deferred renderer.
Dictator93
Member
The thing most concering to me is the fact there the GPU is not at 99% there and it is the lowest settings possible whilst not cresting 60fps.... on a 4.6Ghz i7....
But yeah, translucent materials can be pretty expensive....
I've read guesses that it may be an unlock after beating the game. Whixh is weird because I kept the letterboxing on in the original and planned to play it in classic TEW fashion this time around by having them on.
So for now I don't think it's an option.

This runs MUCH better than TEW1 did. Even if it isn't hitting 60 fps it still feels very, very smooth to play without any hiccups or frame pacing issues. This is without a GSYNC monitor, too.
I think Dishonored 2 ran much, much worse than this at launch.
This is playable for sure and even pleasant, though it could be better optimized to hit 60fps.

Oh man, I was under the impression the game ran well on a 970. Now I'm kinda regretting buying this. I guess we'll see how it goes when I load it up tonight.

What? My GTX 970 can run TEW1 in 1440p/60 FPS with a couple of graphical details dialed down. Apparently, TEW2 is nowhere near as forgiving unless I'm missing something? How is that "MUCH better" performance?
Skyr
Member
Despite not seeming to utilize the GPU tu the fullest, it really runs totally fine.
its easy to compare turd to turd, but with this kind of graphics there is no excuses; especially when Doom 2016 looks and runs better.

Why such config for recommended? The first game didn't ask for something similar.
