Well, I had to lower my OC so my 980 Ti didn't lock up trying to render Afghanistan.
Still, in 4K with every setting turned up as high as it can go, I'm managing easily 40+ fps and usually in the 45-50 range. This game is optimized really well and looks and runs great.

1440p all settings maxed except shadows at high and motion blur at medium running almost entirely locked 60fps. Had 2 or 3 drops to the low 50s in like 3.5 hours of play.

Super happy with it so far. Amazing game and amazing performance. Bravo kojima and team on an a job well done.

Nope. It's just custom soundtrack volume and that's it.
Also, this game gives me a mix of keyboard and controller prompts, I don't know how to do half the stuff the game tells me since the options menu isn't much help either. Game runs amazing, but these options are laughable

A low resolution filtered shadow is not soft, it is actually very jaggy.
I hope they patch in the SSR... the official konami comparison had it...
Fck yes, exactly what i wanted to see! Props to KJ and his team. Il play my PS4 copy once ive topped the PC version lol

Well that's stupid.
With GZ I had to make a virtual desktop using windows 10, then swap desktops with the game open, then change its windows volume from there and swap back.
So obtuse and so so dumb, just add some volume options for christs sake

Just played through the intro.
Native 4K
All in game settings maxed.
Riding around now, framerate seems rock solid but I wouldn't venture to say what it is without a framerate counter. If I had to guess I would say 40's but I could be way off.

Will update with FPS count later.
Game is way better looking than I anticipated.

The game minimum requirements says:
i5-4460 CPU ( btw released Q2'14)
Instruction set extensions- SSE4.1/4.2, AVX 2.0
So, in my opinion, if a user's cpu does not meet these criteria, there should not be any questions why something is not working. (quite demanding requirements!

I've just read that on the Geforce page.....
What a strange oversight.

How do you enable HBAO+ with a 970?
Is this a sign that my Phenom II is getting old?
As someone wrote in a steamcommunity thread it's simply checking an unchecked box and recompiling the game files, so we all hope it'll roll out soon.
However, seems kind of lazy to me that Konami does not test their biggest release ever on different systems...
Well it is below the minimum specs which is an indication that they didn't test on it.
For those with crashing to desktop on launch do you have MSI afterburner running? I just discovered that if i enable RTSS i also get the crash on launch, the error says RTSS hook something failed. When i turn off RTSSand close MSI AB it boots and runs fine. So im guessing there is an issue there maybe..?
I remember i could not get the OSD to show with Batman Arkham Knight and resorted to a hack where I had to copy a file into the profiles folder for RTSS for it to shows the fps, i wonder if something here is also needed.

So it seems from the nvidia article that ideal settings for a 970 would be:
-effects on high (extra high destroying performance as it's some future hardware setting)
-post effects on low (as high enables that shitty blurry FXAA and is otherwise only used for the ingame AO which you don't wana use anyways)
-AO turned off
-HBAO+ forced in control panel
-DOF off
-everything else maxed (very little performance impact)
-1440p with DSR
I wish there was a seperate setting for bloom (so I could turn it off) and that they 'd patch SSR back in.
EDIT: I get the crash to desktop too with MSI afterburner, you have to disable it to get the game to start.
edit 2: wow the use of DOF in the intro bit is amazing, first time I've seen it used in a game where it actually adds something meaningful that couldn't be done without it.
I play everything at 1440p on a 970, sometimes I have to lower a few things but it's totally worth for image quality.

Why?

I don't think excluding as in rendering impossible even starting the is the right way to implement minimum requirements.
Backwards compatibility is one of the biggest pluses of PC gaming. Implementing artificial barriers is just nonsense.
but nvm, they're working on it.

It is dramatically better if you look at the NV graphics comparison.
here you go http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/gu...e-phantom-pain-graphics-and-performance-guide it's alone woth it for removing the halos around the characters imo
I'm trying to, but Steam apparently hung up last night and only downloaded 5.8 Gb. Fuck.
I hate when they don't allow preloads.
(Also, ignore me. I forgot I have a 970.)
So, I have everything on max and just played through the prologue.
There were three moments where the game kicked my ass: The very first scene you see on boot up(I think it's just literally a shot of a mirror),
and the close up of a reflection on a soldier's helmet.
Otherwise it's been rock solid 60 for gameplay with the (very) rare dips during cutscenes. The last three stuck out to me though because they were particularly extreme dips, anywhere from 30s to, I think I straight up saw the number 9 at one point. The reflections I can understand, although I don't really know what the hell was going on to cause a drop during the Ishmael moment. If it keeps popping up in cutscenes, I guess I'll try to lower post processing or something.
Otherwise, GZ levels of performance with even crazier visuals. Great port, at least as far as performance is concerned.

This isn't causing any issues is it? Because that would be the icing on the cake with this damn game.

Yeah, I'm going to stop playing now and wait for confirmation on whether they'll be patching it in.
Do I have to turn AO off to enable HBAO+? I thought it just gets overwritten no matter what setting you use.

Same here, pretty good performance through the prologue with some extreme drops. I saw it go as low as 13 fps but it was only during those moments you mentioned. There must be some combination of effects that absolutely cripples performance in those spots.
My specs for reference:

16GB RAM

so far nope.

Any idea how this will run with a locked i5 (4590) and an R9 290 4GB? looking to play at 1080p 60fps.

Exact same here with those three spots. Other than that, locked 60. Max everything, HBAO+ 1440p->1080p

The nvidia article said that once shit hits the fan (explosions, smoke grenades -with the smoke casting shadows etc which is probably really expensive , rain , storms etc) that the extra high effects will tank performance.
Let me know if you get any drops once you hit the open world and shit hits the fan, I'ma stay on high for now just because drops ruin the experience for me but I wouldn't mind the higher setting if it's fine.
@ andyBNV I really appreciate those performance overviews and especially the graphs showing the framerate impact of each setting that you do for new releases, it's really helpful to find a good starting point to tweak from (which can be pretty difficult these days with so many settings having an unpredictable impact on performance during different parts of a game, it used to be so simple with just shadow/texture res and LOD)

Really? I mean. I'm a bigger graphics whore than most, but not enough to stop playing a 100+ hour game until a single graphical effect is patched back in. And SSR are one of my favorite effects of this generation.
pretty big difference with HBAO+ enabled...looks a lot crisper compared to SSAO...with no GameWorks features in Phantom Pain the addition of HBAO+ via the CP is Nvidia's way of adding some exclusive features to the game

I can confirm that TPP still has the controller deadzone like in GZ, PS4 feels much more responsive (I'm playing side-by-side).
But it seems like it can be fixed with a "negative deadzone", I've yet to try it though.
