How do I run the benchmark test everyone seems to be running?
Go to extras.
How do I run the benchmark test everyone seems to be running?
Better than a 7hrs gameplay review without completing the game
4GB RX470 here - I'm getting mostly 60fps with a mixture of High and Very High. No Ultra settings, TAA (no MSAA), and all of the setting with "On" and "Ultra" choices just set to On. Looks fairly nice. Not incredible, but good.
I get weird performance dips around certain alpha effects - the Icarus dive and some of the whips of sand/debris in the first mission really did a number on my framerate for some reason.
There's like no DoF in-game but in cutscenes so if you're judging from the benchmark it's very misleading.
MFAA seems to be doing its thing if you turn it on to modify the MSAA. At least it yields the same artifacts in stills that I remember seeing (sawtooth pattern).

MFAA on:
MFAA off:
Should MSAA be turned on in the game for MFAA?
MFAA is basically an aug of MSAA so you need to have at least 2x on for it to work.Should MSAA be turned on in the game for MFAA?
It has to be, yes. It automatically activates provided you set it in the CP.
I just got home and I wondering whether if it is faster to unencrypt the pre-load or delete it and redownload it. It would take a little more than an hour to download it on 50Mb connection. Steam is not giving me an ETA which is frustrating : /
Is there an issue with steam downloading the rest of the game? Stuck at 88%.
Took me around 45 minutes to decrypt.
Hm weird.Nope. Thought it was at first as the opening scene in the benchmark ran at 30 but then as the camera neared the stairs it went up to 60. Really strange. I've never experienced gaining as many fps as that whilst tweaking any game.
It got stuck around that for me as well (I had it preloaded). I think it's just the way it decrypts because it moved on and completed after a few minutes.

im assuming that checkerboxing is an nvidia issue and not how they are suppose to look. shadowing in general looks very wrong there to begin with tho
heres 1440p gtx1080 gameplay with perf metrics

Wut?
So should I leave DoF maxed out then?
LOL not even TotalBiscuit, who pretends to be the embodiment of "PC Master Race", mentioned the mouse acceleration.
If PC gaming media and PCMR folks all failed to report it, it means:
A) They simply can't notice mouse acceleration.
B) They play with a controller when nobody's looking.
I hope it's B, because A means most of them, specially the people writing "port reviews", are frauds.
The game is well optimized, I'm really certain that MSAA is the real culprit of everyone's problems here.
What checkerboxing? I don't see any issues with game's rendering, just the performance.
You should see how it runs in game, not in the benchmark at least.
Try spamming esc and back right before that moment, keep doing it till the cutscene happens. Worked for some people.
These are the settings I'm running at
55-80 fps
980 Ti
3570K OC 4.2 Ghz
8GB RAM

Got past the intro level. Have to go to work then a housewarming party. Turned contact shadows to the middle setting and msaa to 2x, rolling with mostly maxed settings otherwise at 1080p on 980ti.
Running fine so far but I'm not actually checking framerates.
They need to fix the mouse acceleration asap.
Anybody elses tutorial sentences (those in yellow) cut off? Is this a problem with german text and fine with english text?
