I'm barely getting any texture pop-in at all. It was much worse in Rage for me. You who have it in this game, are you using AMD cards?

Ah man, Child of Light is buggy with these drivers for me, guess I have to finish it before I play Wolf.

Any fix for the texture pop-in on Nvidia cards?

4xMSAA made quite a difference in IQ for me, and I still get the same performance. Obviously, there are still jaggies, but it's much better than before.

How exactly do you change the MSAA levels?
Also is there a reason that the Nvidia recommended SLI rendering mode is set to Single-GPU?
I'm having a weird problem. I'm about 2-3 hours in now and have just gotten past the
sequence. When this new level started it was stuttering at maybe 1-2fps (sound as well). A bit later on I fucked up and had to reload and now it's the same again but this time it just keep going. It's been stuttering for almost 3 minutes now.
I tried reloading and it just does the same thing. I get dialogue from the area before this checkpoint as well.
It's like the game is trying to load the entire map into memory or something, but incredibly slow.
Edit: Well this is just fucked. I turned around and everything went up to 60fps. When I turned around again to where I was supposed to go I got 1FPS again.

launch with "+com_allowConsole 1" and then "Ctrl and ~" for the console in game then use "r_multisamples 16". (16 being 16x so you can altar to your liking 2,4,8 etc).
You can also use "+r_multisamples 16" to launch with it but that didn't work for me. This did. Not that I can use it, my framerate halfs even with 2x.

Wait, you have to use console commands for MSAA? No built in options?
For the morbidly curious, I was able to get the game to run on my outdated rig. A friend actually gifted me this game w/o realizing how sad my PC was:
E8400
4Gb
HD6850
Game is unplayable for the most part, but I am surprised it even loaded.
Does not run anywhere near as well as Rage ran on this same rig.

The performance in this game is all over the place. Sometimes it will drop down to 3 fps for no reason whatsoever, and it stays like that for 10-15 secs.
EDIT: Great, now it's stuck at 2-3 fps for no reason. Guess I'll restart the game.

no, theres no in game aa at all.
when that happens to me i switch it all to low and the framerate catches up then i switch it back to what i had it on. it's a weird little bug.

what kind of performance could I expect out of an ivy bridge I5 clocked at 3.2 ghz? My GPU is a 770 and I have 8 gigs of RAM, so Im really just concerned about the processer.
Alright so, here there is a Benchmark:

I had zero issues in Rage on either Nvidia or AMD cards. Patch games and update drivers instead of complaining about the engine.

I'm getting terrible performance and major texture pop-in. I get 20fps at 4K, but that's no excuse as I get 40fps in Crysis 3 @ Ultra, and 60fps + on BF4 on ultra. Even when I turn the game to 'low' it doesn't reach 60fps.

the built in vsync is adaptive and tears under 60fps so disable it and enable it in your control panel, depending on if you're using nvidia or amd.
I think it's adaptive like on consoles, meaning it tears when it drops below 60fps. Use Inspector or RadeonPro and force triple buffering with drivers. It's OpenGL so it'll work fine.

extremely important question. Does the game support 120hz 120fps?
Rage does not.
If it does not, then my extremely negative opinion of idtech5 is solidifying

Locked to 60fps as far as I know...

At least it looks to scale across multiple cores quite well. Nice to see the FX 6300 outperform the more expensive i3 chips even at stock speeds.
Sweet! I'll be getting my new LG 21:9 monitor within the next few days, I'm glad it supports it quite nicely.

None of the benchmark results showed anything higher than 60, I don't think so
Automatic multi-GPU rendering (that is, without a game being specifically written for it) is a hack. It's surprising it works in any game at all
Ah fair play, well it's not running too badly on my i7 950 and gtx580 so that's something. Definitely not maxing it.

Oh god, not texture pop-in again
No ingame option?

haha, true to that point. But the fact taht idtech 5 has existed in some form since about 2005... and it still does not support mGPU.... Couldn't they have looked into it in this near decade time?
All idTech versions that use hardware acceleration before that have the ability for mGPU (you can even force it in open GL ports of Doomengine). there are so many things about the engine which make it seem like PC was barely considered during its dev.
120hz support is non-existent, an entire texture loading system (not the authoring part) designed around 5400 RPM harddrives and extremely small ram pools, a lighting and shadowing system which is reminiscent of quake II rather than the still ever impressive unified lighting put forth in idTech4....
Just so disappointing on a tech level... what is the point of getting a game that has so many technical problems running at 60 fps? It should be running at 240 for how it looks... yet it does not evn support the higher modes of low latency which apparently influenced its entire design...

How you fuck up so bad a 7870 and 270 outperform a 770?

Any console command to remove the FPS cap?
While in work earlier today, I took a peek in this thread, and was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones when I got home. Yeah.....not the case. Getting literally 1-2 fps, even cranking everything down. It chugs along, with the audio only working every other second. I've tried playing with both SLI enabled and disabled and i've tried both older drivers and up to date ones.
Specs: 2500k, 670SLI, 8GB Ram
What a fucking disaster.

Try this to improve performance, it improved for me A LOT:
http://in2gpu.com/2014/05/20/wolfenstein-the-new-order-performance-issues/
Also I think r_multisamples is not MSAA samples, because playing in console it says r_multisamples is "8" by default and looks terrible. Tried to force in Catalyst with no luck, anyone got it on AMD cards?
PD: console is CTRL+ ~ (key below ESC) and you have to enable it in command line with "WolfNewOrder_x64.exe" +com_allowConsole 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1

Will you report back and say? I'm geniunely interested. I have a similar processor and graphics card laying around and have been curious for a while as to whether it's worth building it up as another machine.. Obviously I'm not expecting miracles, but if games coming out now are still playable then why the hell not!
