Support NeoGAF

[CyberPunked]

First of all, it's fantastic that they are supporting real AA.

Secondly, I already foresee people running the game with 8xMSAA and complaining about the performance.

But there's no form of temperol AA, and the game uses PBR, so won't this cause specular aliasing,

 

[Salsa]

huh. havent unpacked yet but im already surprised at how demanding it seems to be

 

[Corpekata]

While the first few posts have a point in that people will probably mistakenly think they should max out MSAA, it's still not great performance wise in general. I can kinda see why it's not hitting consoles right away, just for performance reasons (obviously outside of the context of sales, mods, controls, etc). With a 980Ti at 1440p it defaulted me to High settings (no MSAA) and performance would vary quite a bit.

However the game looks better than I expected. Character models are pretty great and a huge upgrade over the UE3 typical grunts in EU.

how much AA can my GTX 970 deal with? someone tell me!

I'd stick with post processing AA probably.

 

[Rizzi]

My 970 kind of screamed when I turned on MSAA.

 

[LiK]

guess I might go with whatever it auto recommends then. unles it looks bad then i'll slowly increase the quality.

It recommended FXAA. It still looks good.

Score! Got it running on my gtx650m which is way below minimum requirements. Managed to get 30fps on minimal and 24-27fps on low in the first fire fight on the first mission

Same question but with a 980 Ti? I usually just max everything out, but I don't really understand the differences between all the AAs.

Edit: 1440p

 

[AlanOC91]

Should the 980ti be alright with this at 4k? I'll most likely have AA completely off. I tend to turn it off for every game I play at 4k.

What resolution are you at?

No, maybe at 30 FPS. Perhaps with a few other settings besides AA turned down.

Oh sweet, what resolution?

 

[Decado]

Is there that much going on under the hood or just mediocre optimization?

Sorry, forgot to include that. 1440p.

 

[Corpekata]

Sorry, forgot to include that. 1440p.

High general settings (Which it should default you to, it did for me) I'd probably try 4x MSAA if you have Gsync, 2x MSAA if you don't, though 4x will still be rough in some scenarios. If you want to crank up things like Textures and Shadows you'll want to stay at 2x and maybe just FXAA in general.

 

[BossDarkseid]

5820k/980Ti/1440p...

get about 45-50fps on the Tutorial mission with everything maxed but MSAAx4.

Also have lovely audio bugs with some dialogue being repeated twice and that intro cut scene was craaaaazily out of sync. Going to FXAA gets me almost 70fps. I'd be interested in the comparison shots because 99% of the time I can hardly tell the difference myself unless I turn AA off completely.

 

[Rhaknar]

Corp, just 1080p with 2 x 970 sli (which probably isnt suppported as usual) and i5 4690k, and 16gb ram. Go!

 

[KKRT00]

Annoys me greatly that i currently dont have time and desire to play this game ;/
I'm hyped for it, but its just not my time to play singleplayer games.

Maybe try a bit of downsampling with FXAA instead?

This is reassuring. I have a very similar laptop to yours

 

[Karak]

Pretty good performance so far with a bit of odd stuttery bits.
Audio issues though. Its weirdly mistimed and sometimes cracks fairly loudly. Like a really bad filter is occurring.

 

[kottila]

No idea, forgot to check, whatever it defaulted to. I've exceeded my vpn limits for the day, so I'm locked out
Just wanted to see if I could get it going before I left for the weekend.

 

[King Gilga]

Thought this was appropriate.

But AA is my favorite setting ... Can't stand em jaggies.

 

[Soi-Fong]

If anyone here has something similar to a 780 Ti @ 1080p, would appreciate it to see what you guys are running at.

 

[RandomSeed]

quote from another thread taken out of context

Cute and all, but I wasn't complaining about MSAA. The game auto selected MSAAx8 and the highest settings for everything from the start and in turn it was 20fps. I tweak my pc games for performance.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Hmm to be honest I can wait for some patches and the like, maybe a driver update, to help with performance a bit. In game I can lower AA to FXAA (I might try DSR at some point) but - whether its my eyesight or whatever - I can't really see that many jaggies in the game, it seems more scenario dependent.

The 970 and the 780 Ti are comparable in most cases.
The High preset seems to be the way to go here.

High preset:
AA: FXAA
Ambient Occlusion: SSAO (highest setting btw)
Decals: All Decals (highest setting)
Shadows: All shadows (highest setting)
Shadow quality: High (2nd highest setting)
Texture detail: High (2nd highest setting)
Texture Filtering: 8x (for whatever reason...)
High Res translucency: ON
Bloom: ON
Dirty Lens: ON
Subsurface scattering: ON
Screen Space Reflections: ON

The maximum preset suffers a lot from 8xMSAA

 

[LiK]

so avoid MSAA as usual. alrighty

 

[robotrock]

How big is the install directory?

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, MSAA is a resource hog in more modern, deferred-based renderers since it's applied multiple times, which is why it's generally excluded as a selectable option.

How big is the install directory?

30.9GB.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I thought I read somewhere HBAO+ would be possible. Maybe I'm getting mixed up.

 

[TouchMyBox]

I love me some 1440p jaggies, come at me, GAF.

btw, are you fools VPN-unlocking or something? Is this something I should do?

 

[robotrock]

30.9GB.

Solid. SSD it is!

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Hi guys, I have a 980ti and an i7 4770, what would be the ideal settings for 60fps?

 

[MDSLKTR]

Someone with a 760 pls comment

The matter of unlocking the game early is covered in the OP. It's the very first "tip/trick".

 

[FaintDeftone]

Waiting for some good 970 impressions before I bite on a purchase.

 

[Mupod]

those minimum reqs are almost exactly my friend's PC, heh. Hopefully he can run it.

 

[Symphonic]

Anyone tried it on OS X yet?

 

[Akronis]

All right getting further into the game, and one of the scenes had lots of fire and debris and framerates were kind of all over the place. Now getting drops down to 30.

 

[Oppo]

I've updated the system requirements image. I didn't think they'd change so close to release (literally a matter of hours).

the current specs on Steam are what I saw 2 weeks ago when I pre ordered, fwiw

Turned off AA and Dirty Lens, everything else maxed at 1080p and no hiccups. Think as others have said, AA is the killer.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hmmmm wonder how stable the fps is on a 970 on max.

Yeah, but I keep on getting distracted by Saoirse staring into my soul.

Ah, yeah, I copied the layout from the JC3 thread but must have forgotten to change the sys reqs image, haha. Oops!

Yeah, but I keep on getting distracted by Saoirse staring into my soul.

...and educating you on how to make tea.

55-60 fps with minimal tweaking (FXAA and lowered shadows) in the first tutorial mission, but then in the 40s when first introduced to the base before I had to stop. I'll have to mess around more in an hour or two and post an update when/if I can get a steady 60fps with the zoomed out base view.

Damn it.
