Never mind on this -- looks like my config got reset at some point, so it might not have actually been set at the time.
Anyone else getting this issue where the Steam overlay doesn't work if D3DOverrider is active? It seems like it's interfering with achievements too.

I just tried this, there's definitely a difference going from 140 -> 400 -> 1200. But I don't really notice a difference from 1200 vs. default (not using the -ReadTexturePoolFromIni flag).
This video couldn't be done without neoenigmas no-clip. Thanks again!

Okay with
set at 400, I get a lot of notieable texture pop in. Set at 1200 makes it stutter worse than before.
I decided to put at 800. I guess that's the sweet spot. Runs great (or just how it was before).
EDIT
I decided to remove the launch option from Steam. Result. No stutter at all and great IQ.
So yeah, at least for me, this either made everything look better and run worse or run better and have awful pop-in.
I don'r recommend doing this. Let the game self calculate. Forcing it could result in undesired results.

Looks like one of the rug textures I saw in Soldier's Field was that bad earlier in the game...guess I just didn't notice it before. LOL
At some point the game set my texture detail to low. Must've been right just now when I was messing with settings because I would have noticed it. I'm going to stop tweaking so much and just play the damn thing. LOL

The OP has directions on how to increase the FOV
No I saw that, but I meant what are you guys using? I don't think I'd want wider than the default slider maximum allows.

Is there any reason to install the 13.3 Catalyst beta for this game? It's my understanding that installing it disables to your existing downsample resolutions and which you are unable to recreate.

I'm having issues with my mouse on this game. The movement when I look around looks stuttery almost as if when I move diagonally it shakes a little. Anyone know how to fix this?
Ahh, I don't have a specific number to tell you. I wish the game let you choose a specific angle. But mine is about half way between the default and max. I just played around with it until I found what I liked best.

Max on the slider and MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=28.571428 (Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\XUserOptions.ini) = 90 degree horizontal fov.

The game is running flawlessly for me, so the VRAM scaling makes sense. Cheers.
I also don't remember any important texture like that looking that bad.

does anyone have a fix for this autosave fail, read/write error EVERY time the game tries to save? steam running in admin, loads of free space on my HDD.
I mean, despite the warning that the save failed, the game still actually saves, but i get minimised and have to click a fuckng window's prompt before i can continue playing. It's really breaking the flow of the game for me.

Just had a fiddle with the ReadTexturePoolFromIni fix, and setting it to 1200 seemed to smooth things out on Ultra settings in the same manner that dropping down to "normal" texture resolution does on my 2GB 660ti.
However, switching between normal and ultra texture resolution with that fix seems to yield no discernible difference, the texture resolution seems to stay the same.
Am I right in assuming that setting that it to 1200 is basically just hard limiting the amount of VRAM to assign for texture data, so it'll only scale to a certain point, i.e. normal texture resolution?

7870 running at 1920 x 1200. Managed to get a solid 60 fps when things are quiet but it creaks down to 40 when things liven up or while loading in a new area.
Any suggestions on what to drop? Going to try some of these texture pool things, it's a real shame Unreal Engine has these consistent smeary texture load in issues. It's fantastic that it smoothly loads in the high resolution one on the fly but.. it shouldn't have to on a fairly high end system.

I'm on 13.3 Betas and have no trouble using existing downsampling resolutions created with the GUI. I think it just prevents new ones from being created.
Change MaxResolutionUpScale=0.00 to 1.00 in XUI.ini if you want the UI to scale. If you leave it at 0.00, the UI becomes too small at higher resolutions

Ok, I ran the benchmark on Ultra 1920x1080 and these are my results:
I forced triple buffered vsync through RandeonPro and config the game to run in Windowed Fullscreen and set everything to Ultra except the DOF setting and reran the benchmark and it ran very smooth, virtually locked at 60 fps. How indicative is the benchmark to actual game performance?
Thanks.

After enabling ReadTexturePoolFromIni I got a BSOD when moving into a new area. Not sure if it is related, but it is something I haven't seen in a while. That said, my stuttering seems to have greatly reduced with all these various tweaks.
In Inspector I have changed the SLI Compatibility bits to 0x0C1902F5 (Far Cry 3), I have enabled Ambient Occlusion Usage and set it to High Quality. I have set Max Pre-rendered frames to 1, I have enabled V-Sync Smooth AFR behaviors and Adapative V-Sync tear Control. In game, I have disabled Ambient Occlusion, and turned Lock Framerate on, everything else on Max.
In the ini, I have changed the values in the MemoryPools section to 1024 (this made the biggest difference I feel). I have also changed bSmoothFrameRate to false. And the PoolSize to 2048 and enabled it through the launch option ReadTexturePoolFromIni, but I'll monitor that for more BSODs.

My game just crashed and my save file's been corrupted because of that launch option. Turn it off.
EDIT: Turning it off let me load my save again.
I noticed this a couple times. It doesn't make any sense when (I assume) the majority of players are using a stereo audio configuration.

Just wanted to say that this fixed what little studdering I had left. Thank you.

I'm using 120 I think but I'm getting no fisheye or anything... the gun models are still to big.
Lovely video, I can't wait to play it.
I wanted to use d3doverrider but it's not playing nice right now. Aside from it not cooperating with MSI Afterburner or Precision X, it won't even launch correctly.
Some here have recommended instead forcing Adaptive V-sync and triple buffer through Nvidia Inspector. Does that yield the same result? Well, I'm going to give it a try right now.

Ok so my .ini is back to default now the only change Ive tried is enabling Adaptive Vsync in nvidia control panel and the stuttering is very minimal so far, much less than before and ive only noticed screen tearing very briefly in the last hour.
Worth a try at least.
(GTX 480 w/ 314.22 driver).

Thanks. The texture detail got set to low. Not sure how. At least I figured it out. Lol

This is EXACTLY what is happening to me. Gtx 680, 3570k...
I really want to play this game but it's just too annoying.
Beautiful work. I'm a fair way into Infinite at the moment, but that just makes me want to go back and start all over again!
This is fantastic. Thanks. Works great with downsampling.
Why not use Adaptive vsync in Nvidia Control panel? It works well for me.
I've been playing it just fine with my OC'd 7950. Maybe your card is overheating?

You can run it in 3d alright but it will make your eyes bleed. Jesus Christ, I haven't seen this bad of a 3d in any game so far.Would anybody know if there's a way I can run this game in 3D?

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
So I basically eliminated all the stuttering. Yes, virtually all of it. No noticeable stuttering or frame drops. I got this shit locked down at a smooth 60 fps.
My config:
PXG's Bioshock Infinite XEngine
I've made a lot of changes to this (too many to list), including setting bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming to FALSE. It's known that changing that line can cause major issues to scripting. So keep it as is at your own risk. In the event you do run into a problem, just exit it the game, set the value to True and reload your game. You should be fine. I only had one issue early in the game. Since then I've had smooth sailing. Once in a while, a few shadows will pop in, but I think those are just bugs in the game that aren't necessarily caused by changes to the config.
I'm downsampling the game from 2560 x 1440 to 1080p.
I'm using mrhandi's SMAA injectors. You can find them here. Follow the included instructions. Mine are set to Ultra. I've heard that FXAA interferes with SMAA, so I turned it off. For some reason, AA is seems to be disabled in screens, but it most definitely looks much better in real-time.
Anyway, Mostly everything is set to Ultra. Dynamic shadows are on High. Very high doesn't yield much a difference and Ultra is too blurry for my liking. Alternate Post Processing doesn't seem to do much besides lower performance a bit, so I turned that off. AO....yuck. I hate how it looks. I turned it off completely. It's a lame effect that has takes a big hit to your performance. It's not worth it.
I did not add any launch options through Steam. Adding -ReadTexturePoolFromIni gave me a lot of issues. I don't recommend using it. I suggest letting the game calculate texture pool size on it's own. Forcing the wrong number can lead to odd things, such as pop in or even worse performance. Leave it alone. Even if you mess with the value in XEngine, nothing will happen unless you add -ReadTexturePoolFromIni in Steam.
In the XEngine find
Default = 400
1024 MB of VRAM = 600
2048 MB of VRAM = 1200
ect....You get the point
Basically, every 512 MB of VRAM is 300.

Thanks to maldo, I changed the SLI compatibility bit from the one included with the latest driver. This helped performance. Most people set their pre-rendered frames to 1. I set it to 3. Why not?
I'm on NVIDIA 314.22 beta drivers.

I mistakenly left mine on 1024. You can change it.

Touch wood I've had hardly any stuttering so far after a couple hours of play. It stutters only momentarily when loading another area (less a stutter more a loading pause), otherwise it's been smooth sailing.
i7 @3.8ghz, GTX 570, SSD, 12gb DDR3 and disk copy of the game (installed straight to C drive). getting 60fps most of the time except in heavy fire fights, where tbh the drops are fine. I have frame rate lock on, near enough max everything bar AO (Normal) and Shadows (High). Using latest Official drivers.
