Could well be, it's very often so it's bugging me. I'm using an SSD as well.

Ahh, yeah, then it would be 4k I guess. I wonder what is capping my FPS. I have no SLI, but almost double the performance seems intense. What CPU do you use? It is possible that my overclocked 3570k isn't cutting it anymore, I guess.
The answer is always, Gsync my friend viveks.
If only they had Gsync 4KTVs...
Anyway RTSS seems to do the job here
I have a 5930K. But I doubt it's the CPU. Given that your horizontal resolution is much wider, your numbers sound about right. I also have a 200/400 OC on the cards.
The game uses DX11 and that's a DX9 profile, I get no scaling what so ever (0% on my second 980Ti). I went on and used the same profile as DX11 SLI bits and I got 70% usage on both of my GPUs but the framerate was cut down to half basically, so I'm not sure what's really going on.
Ha... Yeah I meant just the SLI bits, not the profile. Not sure what the deal is with your framerate. Have you disabled in-game vsync? It tanks performance.

For one thing, Epic charges 5% royalty which Unity doesn't.
Yeah, it's just not working for me.

Yeah I'm getting brief stutter too - seems more related to when a new area is loaded into memory, as I'm playing from a decent SSD and have 16GB of RAM.
Game is good fun.

Any chance you could export your Firewatch profile from NVidia inspector?
I'd like to try this when I get home!
This is a unity-side thing, but we're looking into it to see if there's anything we can do.
Are you on Windows 10? It seems there are two versions of the xbone controller driver for Win 10. I'm pretty sure the newer driver doesn't exhibit this behavior... That's our finding in the office, at least. Any other info you can provide to help us out would be appreciated.
On an i5-6600K + Nvidia 960, I'm getting a solid 60FPS with SSAO, "world detail", and shadows down one notch at 1080p. At 1440p, a locked 30FPS on Ultra.
I don't see any problems with that, and the game looks incredible on even the lowest setting. If you actually end up playing the game, you'll see that money/time was spent quite wisely (VO work, animation).
Also: most of us are on pretty recent multi-core CPU's and discrete cards. We don't get to complain about "optimization". It will be far more interesting and helpful to see how this runs on integrated/low-end/older GPU's.

Yeah, maybe.
UE4 doesn't scale down as well as Unity, and custom engines take awhile. Gone Home stuttered on Nvidia 680s, but was playable on 2010 MacBooks.
Ah, nice. Cheers.
I have the same issue. I'm not my PC any more (it's ~4am, after all
), but later on I'll ensure the driver is up-to-date and report back.I guess I could use a patch that fixes my map.
Edit: fixed itself after looking at a map in a box. Next problem!
I read a note, pressed B quickly because I thought it would close it. It didn't and now I'm stuck with this on my screen because pressing Y does nothing anymore.
Edit: Now I fixed that too. I pressed start, was then able to scroll in that note (saw the bar at the side but the text didn't move). When I had scrolled to the top I could close the note by pressing Y.

I'm playing on 3440x1440, however I have to drop it to high, on Ultra the frame rate takes too much of a hit (I'm on a 6600k oc'd to 4.5ghz, 32GB DDR4 xmp 2667 mhz and R9 390). It runs fairly smoothly on Ulta at 2560 x 1080.
Overall, I'd say the 21:9 support is excellent, everything so far stays in 21:9 unlike other recent games (e.g. XCom 2); where cuts cenes and certain menus drop back to 16:9.
Getting pretty solid 1080/60 with my 970 on ultra, but I get some random drops to like 58 or something like that every now and then.
I'm still early into the game, so I guess this can all change.
edit: oh and my DS4 is not working properly with this game, not sure what's going on with that.

Just got a 230mb update, wonder what it was?
If you're using DS4Windows, make sure you have 'Hide DS4 Controller" checked in settings.
hmm doesn't the game have native ds4 support?

I have a 980FTW, I wonder what I'll have to turn down to get 60@1440p
Nope. It even says in-game that you will need third party software to use the DS4 properly. It does show in-game PS buttons though.
oh I see, figured it did cause of the in game buttons
This worked, thanks a lot!
my xbone controller does the same thing if i set the control method to gamepad in settings.
strangely enough gamepad works flawless if i set the controls to keyboard from the menu.
(then i get keyboard/mouse icons-prompts in game)
win10 - controller used with wireless adapter - driver version 21.50.58.120

The input menu on Unity is a nightmare. It is really disjointed from the rest of the engine and I think different operating systems assign buttons differently so that complicates things further. For something so integral to games it shocked me how rough it was.

Is there any way to downsample? I tried changing my desktop res, but it still defaults back to 1080p.
And it's DX11 so GDST doesn't work.

Windows 7, I updated my PC with the latest xbone controller driver this morning too.
Game running @ 1080p on High settings and Vsync off - 2500k @ 4.4Ghz / 16GB DDR3 / GTX 970 / BenQ XL2420G in Gsync mode.
Game seems to run fairly well and Gsync is smoothing out any hiccups.

You can do a few things I did and fix it completely. First if you are using Windows 10 or have an Xbox One make sure the controller is on the latest firmware. On Windows 10 download the Xbox Accessories App from the Windows Store to do the update.
Next in the game using a keyboard go into the settings and hit E or Q to get to the Controls section and select Gamepad.
If you don't select Gamepad even after doing everything above you might still get the issues I had with my Xbox One controller.

people have said changing the desktop res works
try another method maybe or something slightly different?
Make sure you tell folks to select Gamepad in the Settings > Controller page. Mine defaults to Keyboard even though I'm using my Xbox One controller and I had the same issue with LEFT being held down in any selection screen until I changed my controls to "Gamepad" then it went away.

I'm not sure about the black map (its being looked at still), but the b-for-back on the notes screen getting into that weird dual-menu state is fixed, and going up in a patch we're pushing in the next hour or two.

To you and others: I wrote "most" for a reason.
I'm not saying it is over 60 fps 100% of the time. It frequently dips into the 50s or even high 40s (never seen it go into the 30s outside of the chug when the game first boots up). But it also just as frequently goes up into the 70s or 80s.
Luckily, I'm running with a G-Sync monitor, so the perceived experience is very smooth.
I have had FRAPS running the majority of the time I've played it, so I'm not just pulling numbers out of my ass here.
I still get the black map when I zoom in on it now. Zoomed out it seems to be doing its job.

Seems a solid 60FPS.
Game is stunning.

Did they actually work with the controller to make it native? or you made a preset? I am curious as i would like to use my controller more often. Xcom2 is wonderful with this controller.
