No issues using fullscreen with 2560x1440 here. Definitely renders in it too.

Hmm you should definitely be able to hit 2GHz on that card easily, im personally running a ASUS Strix at 2088MHz Core and 5508MHz Memory

Ggeneral PC performance question.
Many games for me (Including NieR) never seem to quite lock to 60 when I have Vsync on. I get little dips to 59 seemingly no matter what (Even at 1080p) w/ my 1080.
I imagine it could have something to do with my monitor refresh rate? but I've got it set to 60Hz refresh.

Oh I'm certain I could push it, I just really don't know in general how to balance voltage, memory speed, and GPU clock and whatnot, and I've never seen a guide good enough for me to feel confident in really experimenting.
Lol we have the exact same card. Brother!
I don't want to say too much since I'm not an expert, but I generally just up the clock as much as I can without touching voltage. You can usually get a free "safe" overclock pretty easily.

Damn if a Titan XP can't hit 60 my 1080 has no chance haha

Check out Jayztwocentz guide on how to overclock pascal cards. Its a little different because they utilize GPU boost 3.0

yea my game crashes at the cutscene after the boss of the demo shows up. Rip 480x. Guess ill try the 16.11.5 drivers

Yea its pretty beastly and sexy as fuck lol
I'm running on a Titan XP and this game is not optimized at all. Something that looks like this should be able to run 120fps at 4K on a 1080Ti and Titan. But instead you struggle to run 60fps at 1440p with max "AA."
The AA in the game is non-existent by the way. I don't know why people even turn it on. It uses resources for no reason. AO also doesn't exist.

The engine doesn't run that well for the visuals that it puts out, imo. I played through the game on ps4 pro and it had dips from 60.. noticeable particularly in areas w/ foliage.. not to the point that it affected gameplay to a significant degree, but they did happen.
It's nice to be able to brute force this thing to a constant 60.

Neo Member
I personally set my AA to 4X at 1440p, and i agree the graphics dont justify how absolutely demanding this game is. I mean i get 80-100FPS constantly on Witcher 3 at 1440p lol

You sure its not unpacking the game? Mines took awhile to unpack
The AO option turns on post-processing AA (other than maybe a very subtle shadow on her neck?).

I agree that the graphics are not impressive (other than the incredible detail put into 2B) and that the game should have better performance for what it's rendering. As some others have mentioned, it does seem like the engine just isn't that good.

This can't be discussed in general as it's completely title related. Nier seems to have some issue with its framerate limiter which actively prevents it from running at a constant 60 even when there's power to spare. Other games may have other issues.
There's also the question of how you're seeing these 59 and 60 as some software may actually report 59.9 as 59.

running at 1080p locked 60 in every area on an i5 3570k, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM
every setting cranked up to max. buttery smooth for the 9 hours straight I played it.
Somewhat considering trying to downsample from 1440p to see if there's much of a difference.

Fair point, I'm just using the FPS counter built into steam.
Frame limiter in the game is jacked up as well.
It never hits 60FPS no matter what resolution I use. With Afterburner it show 59.3-59.8 and constantly fluctuates. Someone on Kaldaien could probably fix this without too much work. Hopefully the Nier community attracts someone with his talents.

I've never played a Nier game before and I've already sunken 7 hours straight into it. Its one of the better games I've played
So I've been tinkering.
FULL SIZE COMPARISON HERE.
Here's the base game maxed out
Here's the base game with turning off AO and AA while implementing my own AA and MXAO.
I'm still trying to find a better AA solution.

Holy shit, the entire first battle was hovering on the 50 FPS mark on a 1080 at 1440p.

im using 980ti 1500Mhz and it can only run fine with 1400p. i try 4k since im using 4k tv but fps drop to 30-40fps with gpu usage mostly 100%.

Welp... I'll wait a bit and watch for a patch. Otherwise I'll PS4 it
Sounds about right for a 980ti at 4k. Goodnight sweet prince...

Game runs beautifully at 1080p with everything maxed. Happy I double-dipped.
EDIT: for me it's a solid 60 at 1080 so far (just got to the first possible save point)

It's running at 49-53fps during combat. That's dreadful for the visuals in this game.

Thanks for sharing your impressions. I can't seem to get full screen to render at above 900p on either a 1440p monitor connected via displayport, or a 4K TV using HDMI. What version of Nvidia drivers are you using if you don't mind my asking?

I'm getting a completely stable 60fps with everything on the highest settings except MSAA, which I have off (the game seems to have its own post-process AA that does the job well enough for now) at 1080p with an AMD RX470 and an i7 4770. Hope that helps anyone on the fence with similar specs.
If you're on a RX 480 you're probably going to need to roll back to 16.11.5 drivers. I've tried all the latter ones from there up to 17.3.2, and all of the newer ones would crash out at some point. Hopefully either AMD can get a driver update out soon, or Platinum can get a patch out for Nier. MAYBE they can fix the janky fps in the cut scenes too... Other then that I must say I am enjoying the game (now that it's not crashing)

How do I reactivate my controller? This is the first time I've used a controller (in this case, the XB1 Elite) on PC, and every time I tab out or accidentally move the mouse, my controller stops registering inputs; the only fix I've found is closing and reopening the game.
It's essentially this. If a game with vsync drops to say 47 FPS you'll see crazy stutter and input lag.
With gsync you won't see the stutter. For me, a framerate of 48-60 looks the same to me so I'm not worried about minor dips. If it goes below 45 or so you do notice the game isn't as snappy and responsive.

I haven't looked around enough to see if there are any graphical glitches, but those bits are giving pretty good SLI scaling for me.

Lol RX480 user here and at the first combat section the screen whited out but the game is clearly going in the background with sound. I take it we having some issues here?
So I should try to rollback to 16.11.5?

To save you a read, yes.Seems like an issue even with updated drivers.

Here's another before and after comparison of AO forced into the game.
Adds WAY more depth to the character models and environments.
Unfortunately it's glitchy in some areas. But it's a "what could have been"
