Here's the lowdown on NVIDIA Multi-Res Shading for desktops and laptops: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/shadow-warrior-2-nvidia-multi-res-shading

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Seems like it runs well out of the gate. Glad I've got something new to throw at the 1080.
That's incredibly neat, and an inspired idea to apply it to fast-paced non-VR games.

Yeah it is definitely cool idea. Interesting to note how it affects the aesthetics or post processed things (SSAO and bloom) in the screen corners.

excellent idea do apply this to non VR games. specially on the conservative setting, it's not that noticeable, so this could really help people with lesser cards.

That's really fucking cool, especially for people with ageing hardware or people looking to push 4K with HFRs on demanding games.

View the game for its moment to moment combat vs. its overarching structure, and maybe you will come to like it. I know you, like I do, prefer a more tailored SP experience rather. But, surprise ourselfves I say!

Thanks for this. I definitely using this with my GTX970. I hope to see this option in more games.
Connect it to a tv with HDR
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
80fps on minimum is nice to see on i5 2500k ;p
Ps. I need to install that freaking 6800k already though ;p
Oooh, minimum of 63 FPS on max with the FX6300 makes me a very happy man, should have no issue finding the sweetspot for my 280X then when I eventually get this. Shit I think the original might dip below 60 in some parts so that's some fantastic optimization work done on their part. Granted I might be misremembering the performance of the first one, since they did release a patch later on that improved things a lot.
Boy this game sure is a looker, some really nice resolution textures for the most part as well!

Seems to be keeping at 95/100+ FPS at 1440p Ultra during the prologue areas, with the Multi-Res Shading off. Conservative seems to add about 10%, aggresive 20%, about in line with the article. Very impressively looking and runs like a dream.
Edit: Also I'm usually pretty neutral about CA, but I can see why a lot of people hate it. If anything though in SW2 it actually adds a lot to the scene, complimenting the hazy, mystical, twisted-Earth kind of setting.

This game is amazing, and it looks and runs better than any console game that has come out this year.
Get new gpu, oc that cpu to 4ghz+ and that pc will be monster for long time.

Yes, that's what i planned to do...maybe get a 1070 or 1080 and then be content with it^^ i built the pc back in the day, but honestly i have no idea how to overclock...i don't have that much pc experience

I'm glad that you can disable the damage counter. I really love this game so far. I love melee, but I also don't mind using guns as well. This game makes you feel like a badass.
This is super cool.

This runs really well on my machine so far. Sadly cannot keep playing it atm as I got work to do!

Nice. It's so rare these days that a game can use my 3x 980Ti setup properly. Love that 4k. Can't wait to see it in HDR@4k.
Just ran some early benchmark tests, smooth as butter

No hdr monitors yet.
Some comparison pics I posted in another thread. These are off-screen with ambient light in the room, but it shows added color and dynamic range (whites clipped with HDR off have detail with it on, etc.)

Oh good grief, another game I didn't consider getting that I'm now getting. Hope the HDR will shine on my 55" 4K TV!
What's your setup? Does nvidia have any strict requirement on hdr output? Eg. it has to be 4k 444 10bit.
I'm using a Vizio P50-C1 (HDMI directly from my GTX 1080), and I have it set to 4:4:4 chroma (at 4K, I believe it's only 8-bit) at all times. HDR worked at various resolutions from 1080p to 1800p all the way to 4K.
Sweet, my pj maxes out 4k60 420 8 bit. Hopefully hdr will work.
Could you test 1080p at 12 bit colour?
You should be able to select that when you drop the resolution in the Nvidia control panel.
Try setting RTSS to 60fps?
Its easy, just google few guides from google.
V-sync enabled, shouldn't that fix it?
In theory but a lot of games have poor frame pacing. I leave RTSS running in the background constantly with a 60fps cap, ensures all games run with proper pacing.
... Specs? You can't just post that and expect us to guess what you have. Although from your history it seems you have a 2500K.

Have yet to try co-op. But the lowest FPS I saw so far was around 80 I think, and it was definitely CPU bottleneck on my rig.

This is really awesome. It could end up being a real game changer if it's widely available and the IQ hit isn't bad for big performance gains. I haven't tried it myself but the comparison shots are pretty encouraging.
This could be one of those features that makes older hardware last longer as far as running newer games at good framerates and settings, similar to G-Sync. It deserves it's own thread!

multi res was certainly doing it's thing in single player last night but i didn't test that much but as soon as i enabled it in co-op my fps went to shit, drops to 30 everywhere, went back to native 4k and was much better again
had one driver crash (in 4 hours) and the frame pacing went a bit weird a when a friend de-synced (fixed by restarting game) other than that it runs extremely well
