Metal Gear Solid V PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
The game offers an option to lock 30fps if you don't have the performance. Your pc should be able to manage that on close to max settings.

As expected from the OP, maxed settings on my 970 and 4690k (both stock) worked wonderfully. There was a moment when the game lagged up badly for a few seconds but that was most likely due to some background stuff. I found GeForce waiting for me when I ended the game. HEY, WE FOUND SOME SETTINGS FOR YOU

i5 4670k (no oc)
450 GTS
8GB ram
Win 8.1
Mix of medium and high settings("out of the box"-settings) at 1080p - runs around 30-40fps.
Pleasantly surprised- Didn't expect my old budget gpu to run it at anything other than low.

You could really go for everything on Extra High. I have the same card (the 2GB version) and I get 60 fps on 1080p with everything at Extra High..
Personally I DSR from 2560 x 1440 to 1080p and cap my framerate at 40 with everything still set to Extra High, but that's personal preference.

why are you dropping down to 50fps with a 980? That's pretty weird. Is that bad when you're not recording? I only have a 970 and it never goes that low.

he should try disabling if the steam overly while running fraps, I think it fucks up with the performance somehow. it helped with mine when I was getting constant drops to 55fps.
No idea, I'm overclocked with temps under 70c. Everything else runs fine too.
wut. High settings are equivalent to the PS4 game.
It's mostly a mixture of high and medium, and even lowest PC settings offer a higher LoD distance than PS4.
Going by the OP, no. Your CPU is going to hold you back.

I would run 3DMark Fire Strike and compare your scores to the global score for 980's. See if you're in the same ball park as the rest of the world.

Sounds like it might be your Overclock, typically if you see a decrease in performance instead of better performance it means it is unstable and you should back it off now to stock clocks.
Maybe it's the boost which isn't fully active? Happens sometimes when your card isn't at 100%.
Mostly equivalent then, jeez.

Figured out what was causing my game to plummet in FPS and GPU usage, my R9 280X was throttling due to not getting enough powerdraw.
As i was running a an OC profile and I'd forgot to adjust the power level amount (only switched to AMD about 3 days ago) the game was maxing out the amount of power the card was allowed to use, as such it was dropping the boost clock down to compensate and this was giving me very sporadic FPS and GPU usage. As soon as i made the power level +20% this went away and my boost clock stays normal now and my FPS is much better, basically with my power level at 0% and in game settings at a mix of extreme and high in the landing area i was dropping to 30fps a lot and my GPU usage and boost clock was going up and down, with the power level at +20% the boost clock and GPU usage stay normal and my FPS is only dropping to 50fps now.
Much happier now, the game is running loads better and i was able to increase the settings to make it look even better.

I was mistaken, well, mostly. From DF's Face-Off
"The upgrade from console is often tangible, with PS4 and Xbox One's settings a match for PC at its default settings (high across the board, but with shadows and texture filtering at medium). An exception to this rule is in model detail, where the PC's lowest preset still aces both consoles in terms of tree and object draw distances, plus LODs across buildings. This is easily the most vivid upgrade for PC users, gifting higher-end machines a richer, denser looking scene as standard."
I made my earlier statement based on Nvidia's performance guide. Their PS4 screenshots don't hold up compared to the PC's low settings screenshots. This is probably because the model detail setting is the most important visual upgrade for the PC and that setting alone is better than the consoles on low.
Everything works excellently, i have rock-solid 60fps all the time, with very rare drops to 59, no stuttering, not anything, but i have this awful screen tearing that appears always in the lower part of the screen.
I've tried everything, VSync is always on ofc, i tried forcing it with external tools, i even lowered some options and/or dropped to 30fps. Nothing. The screen tearing remains.
Anyone encountered the same and/or found a solution?

Use borderless fullscreen option.

Funny you mentioned it. I had tried that too. With Borderless the screen tearing appeared every 2-4 seconds. I use Fullscreen and i have minimized the screen tearing a lot, but it's still there.
Thanks for your answer anyway.

How? I have a 680, 8GB, i5 3.33 and its 50-60fps on everything max, can't get a constant 60fps - which I'm looking for.
Which option(s) can't I turn down a notch without losing too much beauty but that'll give me 60fps? Screen filtering?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Ouch... That's almost exactly the game play performance I get completely maxed at 1440p with a 970. (but without Shadow Play) The dips are all to the same lows at the same places.
I pick up about 10fps changing Screen Filtering from Extra High to High at 1440p. (No idea how much at 1080p because I'm already hitting the frame rate cap on max settings.) Helps that I don't like the Extra High effect much.
Visually, Extra High SSAO and Shadows over Extra High Screen Filtering is a no-brainer for me.

Wow in the day light missions, my 290x performance TANKS!
Everything on Extra High except SSAO on High.
Night missions i get 60fps with 50fps on load enemy encounters
Day missions i get 40fps with 30fps on load enemy encounters.
AMD need to patch this shit. Heck PS4/One are AMD gpus ffs!

Mr. Bonkers trying to find some HBAO profiles yet? That would be brutal if we could start injecting that instead.

This makes me want PT on PC more than ever.
Ah thanks for that! Looks much better.
Restarted the game, I did not really notice a difference.
Same here... and it looks like crossfire isn't working either I:
Performance should be similar to Ryse son of Rome since the consoles have AMD GPU's, and thus perform well on AMD GPU's.

Well I played it last night on my laptop (gtx 765m). Nvidia experience suggests 1080p most high done very high...... I think ooookkkkkk... I'll give it ago.
On main menu I get 10 fps lol. OK I'll put it on lowest settings... 15 fps.....
Ohhhh... Download beta drivers... Stick it in nvidia experience settings again and I get 50-60 fps on menu. Wow.
In game it hovers between 40-60.
Just dropped it all to high, shodows to medium and then res to 900p and I get almost solid 60.
Looks great, runs great. Awesome job.
90 mins later I complete it (lol but yeah there is still tons of side missions to do).

The game runs very well on my desktop. Getting 55-60 fps with everything on extra high.
Desktop Specs:
-AMD FX 8350
-770 4gb
-8gb DDR3
-Installed on SSD
The game runs terribly on my MSI GE60. 10-13 fps with everything on high and low. No idea why.
Laptop Specs:
-i7-4700HQ
-860m 2gb
-8gb RAM
Guess I found out my answer. I'll give it a try.
Edit: It worked! Set everything to high and I'm getting 60fps on my laptop.

Around 2,2GB at 1080p with extra high I believe.
If anyones interested I made two videos in shadowplay running on a GeForce 660ti and an AMD FX 8350. One video was all high settings @ 1080p. I got pretty much smooth 60 on that. The other was all max settings with varying fps from 38 to 60. Sometimes dipping way below that. But was still super playable.

Has anyone had their PC just abruptly restart while playing?
My PC used to do that, but I had a loose connection to my PSU.
I have those same specs.
GTX 860m
i7-4710MQ
8GB RAM
1080p and all settings on High, with screen filtering set to Extra High for better sharpness, fetches ~45-50 fps. I'm very impressed with the results considering the image quality.
I give it my recommendation if you're on the fence about getting it or not.

Just to be clear, performance on Ground Zeroes is pretty much indicative of how The Phantom Pain is going to run, right?

Should be close, though TPP will likely be more demanding because of the larger maps, along with any other graphical improvements.
