Ah, well. That's a shame then.
For Reference my system specs are:
6700(k) OC'd at 4.4Ghz
Titan Xp OC'd to 1800Ghz (150Mhz core/300 mem)
32Gb DDR4 at 2800Mhz
with every setting at max, in 4K, I'm getting between 40-60fps. Without the frame counter visibly present, its mostly a smooth experience. I'm yet to play with the settings to see what can be tweaked to bump up those frames!

Yeah, I'm at that 20 FPS boss fight now
. I hope they fix this quickly but I doubt they'll be able to fix it before I've finished my playthrough, unfortunately. Oh well, good to know that I'll at least be able to end the game with a proper framerate .jim2point0

I'm having a weird issue. I have a 100hz gsync monitor. Vsync is off, Gsync is on. But when the game is in focus, the FPS caps at 60. BUT.... when I alt-tab (borderless windowed), the FPS shoots up to 90.
No idea what's going on there or how to fix it.
I don't have that issue in other games.
I haven't tried it yet, but the game scales to any window resolution. So at the very least, you could set your desktop res to whatever DSR resolution you want to play at, and then play the game in borderless windowed.

Same here. Had to lower the resolution down to 1080p to get a rock solid 60fps with max effects.

Are you OC'd? Whats your CPU? Ive only played the first 45 minutes and most of the time it was around 80 fps - it dropped down to 65 at one point but there was an insane amount of efx happening. 1080p on a 1070 should be very easy.
The game doesn't even let me select 1440p for some reason. I can select a couple resolutions between 1080p to 4K but not 2560x1440. =/

Running a full AMD system myself and not had any problems with the first hour of gameplay apart from the odd micro stutter,will see how it goes as I progress.
Did a vid showing I'm gpu bound if anything.

I guess it depends on how high your native res is, but I think 3440x1440 is fine. Going higher, the game looks insanely sharp.

Guys if you look at the gameusersettings ini it has a line mentioning HDR output does this support HDR?
Yeah, the problems didn't start until I reached a specific area a couple of hours into the game (and it looks like it was the same for tesqui). Will definitely be interesting to see whether it'll be the same for you.
It's the
beach
but not the one from the beginning, the one you get to after defeating the first two bosses

Tried my pc version on a 4k hdr tv and nothing popped up to show it was hdr.
If this can be enabled then its worth a look.
Technically, yes, but, like Tekken 7, the HDR implementation is just the UE4 default rather than one tailored by the developer for the particular output of the game. In short: Not really.

Ok well I'm playing it more in a couple of hours so will report back.
Here are some 970 benchmarks (Very High):
GameGPU: 49 min, 55 avg
PC Games Hardware: 65 min, 69.4 avg
Tech PowerUp: 55.2 avg
You may need to knock down a setting or two a peg to maintain 60fps, but the 1080p60 implementation on the Pro reportedly takes a noticeable amount of visual shortcuts, so I wouldn't think you'd be worse off. Additionally, if you'll be buying the game on Steam, then you can take advantage of the refund policy should you decide to opt for the PS4 version.

GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X
i7 6700k 4.8Ghz
16GB DDR4 3000MHz
Rock Solid 60fps in fullscreen at 3440x1440. However disgusting stuttering in Borderless or Windowed. Like unplayable.
Turned down post processing to dull the CA because it's awful.

Huh. I have a similar setup (7700K, 1080TI Asus Strix, same RAM).
60 fps at 3440x1440, no stuttering in Borderless windowed at all.

You can leave post processing on high and just turn off CA. Its on the previous page on how to do it.

I just got to the boss after the illusion gates and struggling to beat it(I suck at sword games)
Up to now 40-50fps constant but it sounds like the drops come later in the game.

Does anybody experience random crashes?
Game just stops and quits itself. Or a blue screen following a restart of the pc?
i5-6600k 4,4 GHz
ASUS STRIX 1080 TI OC
16GB DDR4 Ram 2666 MHz
//EDIT: just happened again. Game just closes. Never the same spot.
Neither the cpu nor the gpu is too hot.
CPU maximum 70°C per Core and the GPU is at an maximum of 75°C.

Couple of video comparisons:
- GTX 1060 Vs AMD RX 580 1080p
- AMD Vega Frontier Edition Vs GTX 1080 TI Vs GTX 1080 1440p
- GTX 1060 Vs AMD RX 580 1080p
- AMD Vega Frontier Edition Vs GTX 1080 TI Vs GTX 1080 1440p
Poor Vega.
Yup. It only starts shortly after you've beat the first two bosses IIRC.
I'm getting crashes/hangs. Though those seem directly related to the GPU (getting a crash message)
I was getting that on my overclocked 1080 (which seemed stable for all other games). So I fixed it by putting back the stock clocks.

I just realized there was a specific PC thread so I'll cross post my post from the OT.
I want to hold off on the PS4 version in hopes that Limited Run Games gets the chance to make a physical version, so I figured maybe I'll pick this up on PC. I use a late 2012 iMac on Bootcamp. It's a 3.2 i5 and a Nvidia GTX 680MX. Think that will be able to run it ok? the game looks technically impressive so it is giving me pause.

Mine sits at 45 pretty consistently (Titan X Pascal overclocked). Setting the postprocessing to low gets it to about 55-60, but it does hurt the look of it. It would have been nice to have that "postprocessing" setting split up into more detailed ones. I didn't mind the frame rate, but wanted to get rid of the chromatic aberration. Edit: just saw the note in the OP about how to do that. Will give that a shot.
I think it might be because of the way the camera tilts side to side while walking or running. Normally there's some head bob moving side to side or up and down, but not actually rotating. Hopefully there's a way to disable that.
Yeah, I had the same crash. Same thing with an overclocked GPU that's been fine for most other games. I actually had the same thing happen with Mass Effect Andromeda.
I'd go with the PS4 version. 2GB VRAM would be too limiting.

PS4 has 8GB GDDR5.
Well, 5GB of addressable memory (effectively 6GB on the Pro), but yes. I presume you misread my post; I didn't say the PS4 has 2GB VRAM.

PS4 is 30fps 1080p and has trophies.
PC for you approx 40-50fps high settings.
Buy on Steam,try it and refund if not happy or go the Gog route like I did knowing it will look better on pc.
One step lower than 4k is 1600p for me. How do you add 1800p?

Damn - any idea how you'd fix that?
Card is factory ocd by ASUS, so no option to "default" it.
Game can't seem to hold 60FPS for me even at 2x DSR. I've got a 1080 and i7 6700K.
The game seems to just default to whatever DSR resolution you select in the "manage resolution settings" tab. Even if you play in borderless window mode.
I have.

So still no solution for DSR working - is NT even aware of the problem? Setting the resolution before before playing is just tedious.
I also tried the FOV fix on pcgamingwikia - and its slightly better but because of the fish eye effect - it isn't as nice as it should be. You can tell the game wasn't designed at that FOV at all. The animation of Senua and the camera movement just feels janky.

DSR works fine if you play the game in borderless windowed. Just set your desktop resolution to whatever you want, set the game resolution, restart the game and it will be fine.

It runs alright with my i7 2600k and a 970. Some later levels really tank the framerate though. If you can put up with 45ish for long periods of time it's fine. If you're running anything higher than 1080p you're out of luck though. Dropping down to 1600x900 helps a lot but, again, that all depends on your personal preference. I quite like playing at 1920x810. Makes the game feel very cinematic, even more so than it already is, and the framerate is steadier. YMMV on everything.
