If you have been carefully avoiding extra textures and shadows it should run well, I don't know what else would be necessary.
I have, and it does run well, keeping between 55-60 most of the time. But so many hard lockups!
Guess I'll try raising the voltage on my gpu, and maybe cpu, see if it helps.
It's just weird because I only very recently played so much witcher non stop (which stressed my card and cpu extensively) with not a crash in sight.

Hmm maybe a ram problem? How much do you have?
I have switched from fullscreen to borderless window mode, and have just played 2 hours straight with no freezes or machine hard lockups. Could be coincidence... too early to say.
Last night I had 3 hard lockups within 3 hours, and another 2 this morning, before I switched to borderless window.
Will play some more tonight and see what happens.

It does the same here and I havé 16gb of ram. It is most likely an issue with the game itself.

Here is a video from Steve from gamers nexus about fixing the mouse issues. I haven't purchased the game myself yet but maybe these tips will help.

switched monitor to 1080p, 144hz, gsync, single/multi/zombies all run flawless now no stutter, no crashes, no noticeable mouse lag? , interestingly cpu usage goes up at 1080p so does system ram usage, was 8.8gb system, 8.8gb vram, max settings 1080p multi and zombies never drop below 100fps, single player does but rarely
I wish BO3 was like that. If I put game to Extra settings, like Nvidia suggests me to, game uses over 6GB of VRAM on my 6GB GPU which turns game into stuttery shitshow. And how game looks it isn't really justified usage of resources and stuttering.

Okay, I've got a pretty technical question I'm hoping someone here can answer.
I have a 144hz monitor. However I have the monitor set to 120hz at all times for even frame compatibility with 30 and 60 fps games. Even though it's set to 120, in many games (black ops III, Darksiders: DE, etc) the games seem to think the refresh rate is 144 regardless. For example, in BO3 if I enable vsync my frame rate goes down to 72, half of 144 (suggesting this is the max it thinks I'm not reaching) even though my frame and refresh rate caps are at 120. In Darksiders 2 the top frame rate it will go up to is 144, not 120, because it seems to think 144 is my max.
Why is this? Is there any way to prevent it? I'd prefer all my games recognize 120 as my refresh rate, not 144, if I have my monitor set to 120.

Seems to run fine on my i5 [4.2ghz 3570k]. CPU load on all 4 cores is at 80% max. Getting 'stable' 60fps on High settings and smaa x1. (stable=95% of time,w/o cutscenes which have the fps all over the place). So far I had the most fps dips during the first mission to be honest (large fields with a lot of fire). Later mission very rarely went below 60 (but I am not that far in to be honest), but I noticed a strange, and very short stutter from time to time (like once every 7-8 minutes).
VRAM is at around 3,7gb out of 3.5gb+0.5gb (970)
RAM at around 7,8gb out of 16gb (Win10)

Some people are saying 750ti runs it well on high/1080, others are saying it barely runs on low/1080 - can someone give me an idea of what I will be dealing with later when I pick it up or is it really just that glitched right now?

Its rock solid 60fps no dips / no stutters very smooth. This 7950 + my old 2x 7970s mining + selling 7970s paid for entire rig, all my games, my ps4 and lil extra in the bank. Kudos to AMD for making only parts I have bought PC since my 386 dx33mhz that paid me.

No idea what could be causing that, the culprit could be the driver but that's just a guess.
In my case I've not played much (3 hours SP) but framerate is excellent, very nearly locked 60fps, minor dips in cutscenes.
High textures, high shadows, rest maxed.

I get this really strange slow down looking at and being in certain parts of the multiplayer maps and the campaign. Similar to getting hit with a concussion grenade in the game. Ran the beta with everything maxed out with no problems.

Has something gone horribly wrong with the hit reg today? I just had to stop playing because everyone was soaking and I was dying instantly, it was like the lag comp was turned up to 11, and not in my favour. Yesterday it was fine.

Hi everyone, I've published my Graphics & Performance Guide: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/call-of-duty-black-ops-3-graphics-and-performance-guide
Could have gone out at launch, but wanted to re-test stuff after seeing the issues people were having. Ultimately, all results were in line with the pre-release tests, and didn't experience any of the noted issues, which seems to be in-line with what I'm seeing online. For some everything works AOK, for others there are issues galore.

Installed the new

Why?
Because it seems like it's poorly optimized for pc, not even the same game on last gen, and runs at a gimped resolution on xbone.
Balls, some code and stuff got fixed and/or reverted somehow. Always some issues with those blasted files

So i was getting some pretty terrible stuttering last night, decided to install the game on my ssd, and upgraded my ram from 8 gigs to 16.
Now it runs like butter.
2600k core I7, GTX 970, and now 2x8 gig sticks of ram. getting around 60 - 80 now @ 2560x1080 res.
If anyone wants to party up btw, name is berzerk880 on steam

Please leave.
Ok, I'm not a PS4 homer, I have 2 gaming rigs and an xbone, but I do feel like devs should maybe reconsider the practice of releasing ports with a bunch of problems (see arkham knight).
But I'll leave the thread if the idea of a PS4 exclusive is so offensive.

It's running perfectly for me and many others, at least the MP portion, I can't comment on SP.

You're saying possibly the largest franchise in the world that has been multiplat for nearly 7 years should suddenly be a ps4 exclusive because reasons.
Yeah that makes sense

The game is randomly p2p and dedicated servers. Its like 2 different games depending on what server you get.
This is pretty fucking dumb. There's 0 consistency because of this. I top frag on dedicated and bottom frag on p2p. Its instantly noticeable what kind of server you're on.
I wish there was a way to opt in for only dedicated. Even if you have to wait longer for matchmaking. Fuck p2p that shit is garbage.

If you Ctrl+F5 everything should be fixed.
