Dark Souls III - PC Performance article
- Thread starter Bl@de
- Start date
not sure if this is the right topic to post this, but..
apparently a bunch of streamers got the pc version (english) and are allowed to stream for some time tomorrow (cohhcarnage just talked about it on his stream just now). Someone remind me why this is coming out in three weeks again?

Namco needs some advertisement by streamers first.
Probably bug clean up. Good enough for people who you have sign contracts saying "talk positively about the game, you can stream it early." Not good enough for the general populace.
That's my guess.

Why would you "advertise" your final product with some prerelease buggy version. This is not some written review, people will see it live.
Because hearing a bunch of popular people gushing "Wow this game is great!" would probably do great for sales, despite any smaller bugs they might encounter. Then by release, those smaller bugs are hopefully cleaned out.

Not to poop in your party, but that was essentially a last gen game.
DkS3 is more advanced technically.
Better than I expected. I thought you were gonna need a 970 or something to hit 60.
Originally I was just gonna lock my 760 to 30fps and be done with it. Now I might try to negotiate 60.
Any information on the file size of the game? We still don't know if the download is going to be 50GB. Actually, has anybody checked out the download size on Japanese PSN?

Sounds good to me. I shouldn't have any trouble running at 1440p 60fps.
Looking forward to release!

According to their official site: ハードディスク:20 GB以上の空き容量 , meaning "Hard disk: 20 GB or more of free space".

Somewhat advanced sure. But still no worries, the only thing I care for is my 1080/60, but I wouldn't be suprised if the 970 could do more than that easily.

Ah,
I thought you expected 4k with the 970 lol
In that case I'm sure the 970 is plenty capable of 1080p/60fps.

5% off if you already own the previous games on Steam.
I highly doubt that
You can order at Gamesplanet if you're looking for a deal. You'll get a steam key for the EU version, but nothing is different from the NA.
20% off the standard edition and deluxe edition.

Has anyone posted PC benchmarks, or is that information under the embargo?

When I saw PC performance article headline I nearly shit the bed,as I thought in my head that we'd got a stinker of a port.
How relieved was I,can't wait to try it and hear early impressions

Only FXAA? Eww. Think I'll just DSR.
No way to disable VSynch? Eww
Also lol the game prompts you to "Press Enter" upon boot but nothing happens since "Enter" isn't bound to any action when you boot the game. You need to klick on the "Press Enter" message
If a 770 can max out @60fps, you could down sample and wouldn't need any AA solution.
Just saying...

Hoping my 7870XT can run 60fps or at least close. A guy at work offered to let me borrow his 7970 maybe I should do it.

Maybe with lower settings/900p. The 7970 is quite a bit better.

I won't do 900p. If the 770(3218GFLOPS) can do 60fps at "highest" settings, the 7870XT Boost (2995GFLOPS) will be close. I will take 50-60fps at medium/high settings if need be.
A 7970 might be enough to see no dips at 60fps.
So am I ok to run this decently or am I fucked?
Yeah you're perfectly fine.
Awesome, can't wait.
Yeah I really hope SLI works on release but I'm sure it won't.

560Ti checkin' in... hope I can run it, even at 720p if I have to. No new card for me until near the end of the year. I can manage Witcher 3, I'm hopeful that I can manage with Ds3. Especially since I just bought it today
If you have SLI, you should be willing to play around with Nvidia inspector bits.

I'm hoping to get 60fps @ 1080p with a GTX780 DCU2 OC paired with a i5-3570k @ 4.2ghz and 8gb ram
Biggest disappointment for me is the lack of Steam Cloud support. As someone who jumps between a desktop and laptop pretty regularly constantly transferring save files is going to be a major pain
Wait seriously? Wtf DS1 has Steam Cloud support but this doesn't? -_-
Running a GTX 660 here. Hoping for 1080p30FPS high settings though it looks like this won't happen.

It baffles me how Steam cloud support isn't just default for every game on Steam.

While Xbox players are running to the japanese stores and half of the world already playing:
Here are some Benchmarks and impressions
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Dark-Souls-3-Spiel-55615/Specials/Technik-Vorschau-1190183/
Dark Souls 3 isn't the most demanding game out there, so it should be no problem to get 60fps.

Yeah, looks like I will just 4k downsample @ 60 fps (which looks wholly possible honestly).
Do we know if the game supports above 60hz though even if the framerate is capped @ 60? Because with 120+ hz monitors that means you would still hit refresh syncs @ 40 for example. Much more tolerable judder than 60 to 30 vsync drops.

Well if a 290X can do 57 average/52 min at 2560x1440 max settings, then most people shouldn't have anything to worry about.

It does? SotFS doesn't.Wait seriously? Wtf DS1 has Steam Cloud support but this doesn't? -_-

Slightly unrelated, does physical version come with a Steam key?

How does it perform in 4K with a 980ti and does using a controller have the same issues as using a mouse in 4k?

30 min. FPS - around 45-50 avg. FPS. Not bad for a single 980 ti in 4k.

That's what I get in 4k Witcher 3 (without hairworks) with a single Ti.
I was really hoping for 60fps, I suppose that's too optimistic for an aging engine.
