It's also worth pointing out that those tessellated god rays are significantly neutered on consoles.

What is your graphics card? Also what drivers?

The difference between 16 and 13% in the same percentages depicting the impact of Gameworks on performance is 3%. You can't change the percentage base in the same row of numbers. I advise you to learn math a bit before calling people out on theirs.
Yeah, GCN 1.2's tessellation is improved but it's not like 380 - which is based on Tonga - is showing a better performance than Hawaii's 290/390 or even Tahiti's 280 here - which actually proves my point again about tessellation not impacting Radeons performance in FO4 much at all.

So this is Vpn unlocked already? Guess I'll do it when I get home then. 3470k 4.2ghz, 16gb ram, gtx 970ftw 4gb.
Good to know! It sounds like a YMMV thing typically seen with PC games. i.e. some crashes for people and others have no issue.

Looks like my 780 will be fine based on the benchmarks.
Gaming laptop people always the last to know. To be fair, we're sort of crazy people.
Glad to hear that. What's your audio h/w configuration if you don't mind my asking? I'll be using Nvidia HDMI audio.
Well the game's running a solid 60fps on ultra@1080p for me. My laptop is a MSI GT80 btw
Edit: Win10 and no issues so far.

Where is there a 13% and 16% difference to begin with? How do you even arrive there?
Turning off Gameworks results in a 28.2% / 36.9% average FPS increase between Nvidia / AMD. Turning it On results in a 22% / 26.9% loss.
I'm sure of my math, and will happily call you out.

I've seen someone saying they fixed this by updating their soundcard drivers. Windows device manager tells me mine is already running the latest driver, but I've just manually downloaded and installed the Windows 10 driver for it in case Windows is lying to me. Going to restart the PC and give this another go =)

Played on W10 this morning for an hour before work without any issues. I also didn't install the new Nvidia game ready driver.

Wow, so sli 980m's run the game just fine? Whodathunk...
I guess the game doesn't have proper SLI support but may be enabled through the Geforce console similar to The Evil Within.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

GTX 560 Ti, i5 2500k, 8gb ram. How will I run it?

Well, I would certainly hope that a $3,000 gaming laptop would hit 60 fps on ultra. That's a bad ass machine.

JFYI, it seems god rays have a huge impact on FPS. I am playing everything on ultra but was getting dips in some parts of the world from 60 to 30, I then put god rays on high and left everything on ultra and doesn't dip at all. PC version. I have above recommended specs.
I have it on a 970m, it's running almost at 60 with a mix of ultra/medium settings.

Check this out.
Bethesda released a beta update for the XAudio crash.
If you're on Windows 10 and get constant crashes, install this.

Thought id ask here. How much better is the 8gb rx 390 over a 2gb 770. I can get a rx 390 for £250

I already told you. You should count how many performance you're loosing by enabling Gameworks, not how much you gain by disabling it. The basis of this discussion is the loss of performance because of enabling Gameworks, not the gain of it via disabling it. What you count is the percentage of how better the game is running without Gameworks which is basically a pointless figure as we don't know what bottleneck it is hitting in this mode. The only proper way of measuring the impact is to count the percentage of performance loss from enabling a feature.
So, just finished the intro. I have a constant 60fps at 1080p with:
R9 290
i5-4690k
16gb of RAM
Windows 10
The game automatically set me on ultra graphics but I turned down godrays to medium and AF to 12x. No severe dips from what I can see but overall I'm pretty pleased. I was originally one that said the game didn't look all that great but in motion, the art style is very pleasing and enjoyable. A lot more colors than FO3, thats for sure.

Damn they reacted fast! Wow!
Another fun thing if you unlock the FPS, lock picking becomes impossible with mouse and keyboard.
I pretty much just tapped A here and it went from 0 to 100 right away.

I use Nvidia HDMI output, too.
Oh wow, nice! What's your processor and ram?
16gb ram and i7 4720hq.
Using your math, turning it On results in a 22% / 26.9% loss for NV/AMD. How do you arrive are 13% and 16%? Please, walk me through the steps.

Can't view the webm on my iPhone but is game speed seriously tied to FPS?!?!

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
You're using the vertical slider right. The difference seems to be higher, sharper rays on Ultra that makes a slightly less blurry effect which is a higher I.Q.
I'll stick to low since I have an R9 290 given what Ultra does to a 980ti; I can't hang with the big boys
I've disabled vsync via the .ini file but my game is still capped at 60. Any ideas? I've already checked nVidia Control Panel/Investigator/RivaTuner to make sure it wasn't being forced on by anything else and it's not.
The only time I was able to get the framerate to unlock was by disabling it via the .ini AND forcing it off via the nVidia Control Panel, but this caused my game to crash upon load every time.

Did you make it read only?

Opens thread, reads "No SLI support"
Dissapointed that AMD cards seem to lag behind Nvidia so much. I'm sure some tweaks can be made like disabling gameworks, but always sad to see a game favoring one GPU maker over the other.
i5 3570k, R9 390, 8GB ram. Expected this to run ultra at 1080p, but not looking like it right now. Hopefully AMD can update their drivers, but not expecting much.

Yeah a lot of shit breaks with unlocked fps. I couldn't exit consoles or get in the Power Armor until I locked my framerate to 90.
Wait, so no SLI? I think I'll need to switch to a sibgle 970 ASAP...
This is why I ate the price difference and sold my SLI 970's for a 980Ti. SLI is always a disappointment for me.
It's not so much a game as a use case (CPU-heavy DX11 titles).

Just tried that and it's still capped.

AWESOME, thanks! Was just reporting back to say manual driver updates didn't work =P
So I guess they lied about arbitrary framerates :/
Wow I'm extremely disappointed. Shame. No SLI support and now this.
Is 90 the max without shit breaking?
