Mafia 3 PC performance thread

It's called Gysnc. That is why he doesn't notice the fluctuating framerate.
If you want to stop the fluctuating framerate, for now you have to put Reflections on Low, hopefully they optimize Reflections more for us poor folks without Gsync.
So this is annoying. This is how my menu screen looks like. 3440x1440
Wait - - I have never seen that menu
All I get is a continue game or new game

Yeah, that and Volumetric Effects are the two major FPS killers it seems. Oddly enough, the other settings seem to have almost no impact at all.
Same here. WTF?
Oh, and is anyone else getting constant crashes when fiddling with the graphics settings? I think I've crashed at least 3-4 times now. It's just an instant CTD, no error messages or anything.
Did quick and dirty test.
Dropped reflections to low, kept AA at medium and everything else to medium @ 1080p
Game still caps out my i5 6600K @ 4.2GHz, hitting that 99-100% usage, but game now keep 59 FPS without obvious stutters. Game looks kinda awful with these settings and hogs all HW so not sure that 60FPS is worth it in this cae.

The consoles versions don't seem much better.
The seems to have a good story and good characters but is a technical mess.
Shame, I'll pick it up when it's under £4 on a sale.
I've seen the Xbox One version and it appears much worse.

Just added that reshade too and it looks much better without all that blur.
Interiors are really dark though (Saw he's working on it)

Well, we can certainly agree that it wasn't the leading platform.

Probably, a lot of big games coming in October. I'm guessing it was rushed out to come before them.

I7 5820k 4.3ghz, 16gb ram, 980ti G1 overclocked and game runs like a dream at 1440p maxed out (AA set to low) on my gsync monitor. Couldn't care less if you think it's bullshit. I'd rather have a solid smooth game than high fps with stuttering like most games nowadays.
Really? This is what I get when I press options on the right:
After that I'm stuck. Escape doesn't work and nothing takes me back to the main menu.

Not even close. Arkham Knight is still a terrible mess, even with all the updates. You simply can't brute force that game, it is coded horribly.
People may not like it, but Mafia 3 is perfectly playable at 30 FPS. It seems to be playable at 60 FPS if you have top tier hardware. The game needs optimization, that's apparent.

When you play at 21:9 the main menu is borked when you start the game, there's nothing you can do about it right now. Just get into the game, and everything is fine menu wise after that.

i want to see what settings are equivalent to consoles and if consoles hold a solid 30
PHOENIXZERO

What would be the equivalent console settings on the PC version? Doesn't seem like people with i7s and GPUs that are 2-4+ times faster should be having that much trouble hitting 60FPS if the game wasn't a sloppy port.
Feels so much better unlocked.
Is going to be hard to get 60 locked for most people. Seems like a game made for Gsync, even with a lot of tweaking there's going to be dips into the 50s on a 1080 at 1440p.
Game uses CPU like crazy. All 8 threads are like pinging in the 70% usage, haven't seen that sort of behavior in games often.

is there a cpu yet that can keep fps from dropping below 60 when driving/flying?

This game looks like mud - runs fine, but my god why are all of the textures from a launch PS3 game.
There's some nice FX in there. I see subsurface scattering, and the beginnings of some PBR, but it is all buried under really blurry shit.
I actually think Mafia 2 might have had superior texture work at this stage. It might just be that they somehow left out the higher res textures for some reason?

Why does he wear the mask!?
I honestly cant tell a difference
I have 980ti and i76700k@4.5 and never had any problems with the framerate. Steady 60+ while driving, flying, heavy action scenes. But I understand lots of people had/have performance issues with it.
Moff
Member
barely? can someone point out any differences to me, please?
the ear seems to be a bit sharper on low, that's all I see
I am very tempted to buy and download now, I just love the setting
but maybe I should just way until the opimzite it and buy it on a sale
what are the chances they manage to do that?

Running pretty well here at 4K:

It drops below when using the batmobile, but he also has all the gameworks effects on.

Yeah, I was really hoping they'd fix that since it seems like it'd be a quick and easy fix.

You're wrong. You can't drive around or fly around the city without constant hitching/stuttering. There is no GPU and CPU combination that can brute force through the horribly coded LOD. It's better than at launch, but by no means is it good.

Lol indeed. Indoors, the differences are pretty minimum but it looks more apparent outside. For example, lighting is a bit different and the sun is kinda missing at low settings in this video. PC is clearly an afterthought.

Same, No Mans Sky was the straw that broke the camels back. Never pre-ordering a game again, which tbf is pretty easy since I don't play much nowadays anyway.

I don't have these issues with gsync.
Erm, I can get good framerates - it is the reflections that take a massive chunk of the frame rate. At least for me
All cores are 100% i5 6600K 4.0ghz

Game is definitely running much better on my 970 after the patch. I'm getting a constant 55 to 58fps with no stuttering. I have everything set to high except reflections (low) and volumetric effects (medium). I played a fair bit before the patch and had to turn v-sync to adaptive just to avoid hitching at 30 and most of my settings were at medium.

Anybody with a 390x have impressions with this new patch? Still on the fence if it's not performing all that well.

nvm. checking right now. Have the same CPU but at stock.

i7 3930k @ 4.5ghz with 16gb and a Titan X here.
Game's a hideously unoptimised POS, but I've managed to get it to a relatively stable 55+.
Volumetric = Low
Reflections = Low
AA = Low
Geometry = High
Shadows = High
AC = High
Vsync = On
It looks reasonably good, but I'm getting the sense that for some reason, this thing is capped to 58fps rather than 60. Anyone experiencing anything similar?
Minimum drops while driving, or in weather effects such as rain.
The game's reasonably fun, I guess. The shooting seems quite cool. Maybe further optimisation will improve it, but it's already leagues above the console versions.

I can, atleast when on foot and flying. In the batmobile there might be the occasional stutter. But it's certainly not constant. And I'm usually sensitive to stuttering, so it's not like I have a high tolerance.
Either the game varies a lot depending on the system, or it might just be a diffrent part of the city that stutters, admittedly I haven't played that far in the game.

Get around 45-60fps with a i5-2500k @4.2Ghz and a 1070 with the new patch, it's real inconsistent though, I'll probably just keep it at 30fps honestly.
Kenzodielocke
Banned
Nope, an i5 6600k isn't going to cut it. First time the CPU is at 100 %. Huge bummer, don't know if I should just cap it at 30 and call it a day, since I have no gsync monitor.

I've had it crash on the saving screen ie not even any actual gameplay occuring.
So thats a first...

Even with the reshade stuff, it just reeks of sharpening, and there are few graphical band-aids that I hate more than sharpening.. I'll just wait for them to hopefully release a real patch.

You can use this preset if you hate the other customizations of many presets. It's only for removing the blur, nothing else.

Getting a 40ish fps average at High 1440p on 6700k, SLI 970.
Also nice that the launcher stays open forever so I am already 19 hours in.
