They definitely aren't running the game at 60 locked.
Same specs as me. I run 900p everything maxed out, above 30fps and some narrow corridors i reach 60ish (didnt check fraps)

I tried downsampling on Alien and I must be blind but the game looked the same :/ I also tried on Batman Oranges benchmark and I lost like 20frames, and the game still looked the same, so I didnt bother trying to downsample other games
Again, Im sure the problem is on my end, sicne everyone seems to rave about downsampling
Nah. I can't really tell much of a difference either.

This game needs a FOV fix ASAP. I'm getting fairly nauseous trying to play it :/

Some people just don't notice fluctuations in framerate, I suppose they're lucky!
And downsampling in this game makes a massive difference. At 1080P there is shimmering on every damn thing but at 3200x1800 it's heavily reduced and the IQ is actually close to good. Plus it brings out more details on the character models.

Anyone fixed the FOV/camera if you remove the black bars? Also a Sli profile? I've had some gains using Metro redux, enough to usually keep it 60 and above, but this games frames seem all over the joint.

No SLI due to the engine. My poor second 780 TI is sitting looking very pretty.
Theres an ini config
Ah thanks for this.
It does make the game less unsettling for some reason.
What sorcery is this?!

Yeah I turned on the counter just now to make sure and I'm getting more around 47-60 FPS.

About average 55fps with everything maxed, SMAA, normal aspect ratio at 1440p with an R9 295x2 (crossfire disabled)

Any ideas what could be causing the FRAPs issue? I'm getting 60 FPS, but it stutters when the FRAPS overlay isn't there. When the overlay IS there, it's silky smooth.
Also, what kinds of things should I be looking at when I downsample to notice a difference? First time I'm downsampling and I can't tell a difference at all. I'd rather have it off to maintain 60 fps.

Yeah, it's fucking BIZARRE. No idea how something like that happens. Few others in this thread reported it, as well. Wondering if they might have found a fix.

For the new page, people with 21:9 monitors should test this.
Render at 2560x1440 with the above settings. It might get rid of all of the black bars in your specific case.
Anyone who has a 21:9 monitor, can you test this out? I don't have the game so can't try it myself, but might solve your black bars problem.
Set your scaling settings like this in the NVCP
Then set the in game resolution to 1920x1080 if you have a 1920x810 monitor, or 2560x1440 if you have a 2560x1080 monitor.
Report back if that gets you full screen monitor usage with no black bars?

Getting some frame drops, what really annoys me is how its clearly not pushing my system. Hope someone will find a way to improve performance.
Intro command doesn't work and neither did administration. Updated Steam didn't work, nvidea driver is up-to-date.
Though, it seems like it'll crash faster with no intro command and at one point foe 1 second, heard the Beth intro; with intro command, loads a few more seconds, then goes fullscreen all in black, only then to go back to desktop with that message with that driver message

Err, may be me, since I'm hopped up on sleeping pills but isn't the game DX11 for video card minimum, and the GTX260 seems to be listed at DX10 only?

The latest driver is 344.16. 344.16 specifically mentions The Evil Within in the release notes.

Is there any way to increase the time the blood/spatter decals stay in the world?
Said latest DirectX runtime version is 11.0.
My 260 doesn't have that update. 340.52 is the highest it can go.
I think the MLAA option is a tad better than SMAA. The straps on Sebastian's back were less jaggy with MLAA rather than SMAA. As for the grain, that's up to you

Its a Directx 11 only game. It wont work on your card whatever you try. Same with Shadow of Mordor. Time to get a new card.

SMAA is less destructive to texture detail AFAIK, but it's a little bit more intensive. So it depends on what you'd rather have... less jaggies or more texture detail.
Reminds me of when you had to have Firefox on to get decent performance Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I don't have that problem so I can't help ya.
yay

Just putting the vsync command in your startup options in Steam works for achievements too. So long as you don't activate the console or any cheats, the graphical options (and skip opening cutscenes) don't stop achievements.
I wasn't aware of that. I like having less jaggies so MLAA it is then lol

Can we ALL pretty much agree that the recent PC specifications put forth by Bethesda and Warner were greatly exaggerated?
ambar_hitman

Yup. The 4 GB VRAM required comment was totally baseless and might have detracted many potential buyers.
My card does have 11...is there like a difference between patched in and imbedded versions?
It might be saying your OS supports it, or you have it installed, but the GTX 260 is a DirectX10 card.
ambar_hitman
Member
Your OS will say it is DX 11. But your card or any GTX 2xx series card is not DX 11 supported. So none of the DX 11 only games will work. No mods can fix it. It is an entirely different development pipeline. My friend with GTX 285 wasn't even able to launch Shadow of Mordor.
I see now. Basically this means I'll have to upgrade now then before WItcher 3...crap. -____-

anyone able to find commands that allow further tweaking and modifying graphic settings? specific how to modify:
shadow resolution
texture resolution
model LOD detail
eg. r_lod etc. , i see many lod , texture commands.
thanks!

If you can snag a GTX 970 they're a really great value at the moment. Even if your card did support DirectX11 I can't imagine it would run The Witcher 3 very well though.
Oh that what I meant "Before Witcher 3" but I heard there was a rumored 8VRAM version in the work and might be released before Wild Hunt. I know the 350 price point but I can't spend that kind of money now. Thinking of just get the cheapest card in the city for now since surely it'll be DX11 and simply more powerful then what I got now.
I have a feeling this port will get broken wide open at one point.

Anybody found out who developed the port yet?

I love Pokken!
The Workshop, i think.
Yeah, sorry, false alarm. SteamDB was so slow at picking up on the ReleaseStateOverride flag that when I saw the list of depots, app config parameters, etc. I gathered its general release status had changed. I should have scrolled down further.

And here I am, as you requested.
A little update for anyone who wants to know what we're talking about:
PC Specs: i5 2500K @ 4.2
4GB RAM Gskill Pi Cas 7
1 GB 5770 Vapor X @ 900/1400
Long time since I last upgraded it, as you can see, but still I tried and my home's not burning!
-Everything high, enabled and FXAA.
-720p: Fraps shows 30 fps almost all the time and upper 20s during heavy lighting effects scenes. Those using sub 1080p monitors will be pleased.
-900p: 20+ fps most of the time. Noticeable drops, but still... "playable".
-1080p: Not so different from previous resolution.
I'll wait for DF and then think if I should get it for X1.
