This is fantastic advice! Can I add it to the readme?

As my my monitor is 2560 x 1600, I tried doubling it to 5120 x 3200. And it was a little choppy, with slight frame rate dips. But at 2560 x 1600 with v.2 and fxaa and some AA forced on in Nvidia Cp, constant smooth 30fps. The games looks bloody great.
I have another two 580's but this game doesn't like Sli at all. Unless someone knows a working profile?
Really? Because people who've posted SS shots (Sethos comes to mind) make it look real good to me. Obviously it won't look as good in motion (since high fps makes graphics pop), but I think it looks very good in screens (so long as you're not trying to isolate single textures and deliberately being picky).
I just tried and it seems to work fine for now! I'll keep updated if I get any crashes.

Yes, with the Master Key you're there in a minute.
It definitely runs way smoother than the console version, but in some instances still limits you to 15 fps which sucks.

Are you on an ATI card? Friend was messing there on a GTX 470 @ 2560x1440 and says its constant 30 for him.

I have a GTX 460 that's factory overclocked to almost a GTX 470. It gets chuggy once you get all the way to the back and attract some enemies.
I can try to take a vid of it.

yeah... upon further inspection, time to give my new credit card a try...
I'm at work so I can't test this: Does this include the pixelated depth of field effect or is that still an issue?
not fixed

This game is REDEEMED! I need to start possibly sampling a bit. If I'm using 1600x900, what resolution should I set it to, to sample down from?

I'm kinda in the same situation, except I have a quad core i5 750 @ 2.66ghz. I know this game is really CPU dependent, and what I have doesn't match the speed of the requirements, and I'm not so sure it utilizes all 4 cores...
An hour or so into the game with an ATI 6970 at 1080p and it's been smooth sailing so far, solid 30. I actually tried the game for a bit without the fix and it was playable but obviously with the fix it actually looks good. You are selling a ton of copies with that fix so hopefully the donations are trickling in.
I've no idea what I'm doing in the game but I'm enjoying it a lot. I prepared myself for dying a lot and have managed to die couple of times already so that's good.

holy shit the contrast between the foreground and background (in terms of resolution)... lol
Does afterburner use rivatuner SS for the OSD? If it does I guess this will work with EVGA precision OSD as well.

I'm sure they already knew. I suspect it wasn't a lack of ability that saw them take this path.

Yeah, it can get kinda blurry. Is it a DOF issue with the new resolution fix, or is it just me?
It's the same as before.
The problem isn't that the DoF resolution gets worse with the fix, it's that it stays the same. And all "easy" attempts to fix it cause artifacts. I'm still working on it though, but first I'll release 0.3 which makes AF optional (for those with performance issues) and a few other tweaks.
I would know if I was at home. I'm at work right now, so I can't test.

Steam doing a good job of informing people about the fix lol.
Yup, if you have that option in evga I think it will work too.
Oh, and another thing. Make sure your power option is set to high performance in windows before playing dark souls.
I have mine on balanced and my fps drops in some places, high performance and I get almost consistent 30fps.
I've only seen this behavior in one other game that I play, Sonic Adventure DX (lol)
My specs are pretty low:
Phenom II X4 945 3GHz
4GB DDR 2
AMD HD 6850
Playing at 2560x1600 downsampled to 1680x1050 xD
I am playing on a dual core e6700 @2.6 and 560ti, Dark Souls resolution 1080p.
It reaches 30fps most of the time and does dip but is very playable.

Since this is basically the Dark Souls technical thread, I'll post this video I made here.
Anyone else experiencing weird sound? Things like footsteps that sound like they are right next to you and other environmental weirdness like in my video?
I played the hell out of Dark Souls on the PS3 months ago but don't remember if the sound was like that on the consoles or not.
Also, the 0.2 version has worked almost flawlessly for me. Still a few kinda random drops here and there but it works fantastically for the most part. Thanks again!

I am. (5870 @1080). the frame rate is up and down but it's still playable.

Tried out .02 this morning. Works perfectly on my 560ti.
Do you have surround sound turned on in your windows sound settings / realtek audio drivers or something similar.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow!

0.2 messed with my Blighttown performance hard. Barely hit 30 fps anywhere. 0.1 gives me a constant 30 fps except for back here:
There it just goes down to 15 fps and stays that way.

I'm using stereo headphones and they are set to stereo in the settings.
That's a GFWL thing, I think. Plenty of other GFWL games do this. It is very stupid, but not surprising, especially for games ported from the 360. It's essentially the same infrastructure, so "lazy" ports without in-game language settings fall back to the OS's regional setting, as they would by default on the 360. So if you ever come across the same problem with a GFWL game, you'll know what to do

GAF -> internet -> GAF
5 bucks is my buy price aswell. I already clocked the game on PS3 and I see no reason to reward lazy, ignorant, disrespectfull developers and publishers with anymore than $5 on PC.
