it's cool I have MFAA set for every game

Why can't I select 1440p (native resolution) from the options? I get nothing higher than 1080.

I didn't check, but ill do that in a bit.
You have to have MSAA enabled to use MFAA though don't you?

I set everything on max, except shadows (High) and AA (FXAA) at 1080p. Getting around 40-45 fps, which is way better than what I expected. Hopefully I won't jinx it and start getting frame drops after the tutorial level.
Hmm. I will be using a 2GB GTX 860m. I guess I will be able to do 1080p medium settings with no AA without too much of a problem.

In case anyone runs into the problem but my game was stuttering like a boss. I turned on framerate smoothing and it seems fine now.
What does setting actually do?

Anyone not getting the ability to use resolutions higher 1080p, it's a DPI scaling issue. Disable DPI scaling for the game and everything works properly. I don't know why Firaxis' games still have issues with DPI scaling after all these years.
80FPS on a Titan X with everything maxed and FXAA and no Bokeh DoF.
This game has some taxing graphics options when messing with the the Maximum settings and a few of those checkbox options at the bottom. Enabling Bokeh DOF alone drops me down 10FPS, while moving most options back and forth will give or take 2-3FPS.

The game defaulted to max with my 980. I dropped it to high, and averaged 80-90 during the first tutorial mission, with it dropping to the 60s during an explosion. I get 65fps while viewing my complete base.
EDIT: While viewing my base, if I turn on MSAA 2x, it drops it down to 50fps. Fuck that!

I think I'm in a similar boat, I've got AMD FX-8370E @ 3.3GHz, 8GB RAM and GTX 560 Ti. I'll let you know how it runs on 900p (if not tonight, then sometime tomorrow).

Getting around 50 FPS on the first mission in Iron Man mode. 980ti. tried lowering a bunch of settings but to no great effect.

My 21:9 XCOM 2 gameplay
All settings to max, except AA turned off until SLI works
Utilization also sucks

Well it's usually the people with high end setups who are more likely to post in performance threads.

On a quad core Intel CPU and a GTX 860M with all Medium settings and FXAA, performance is decent in the tactical view but kinda sucks everywhere else. Patches should fix it up, 'cause I don't see what's so damn demanding.

Messed around with settings a little. For some reason the base view is now 52-60 fps, rather than the 40-something I was getting. I didn't change anything, but whatever.
GTX970
I have everything set to the highest settings @1080p, but with FXAA selected. Most settings have very little effect on the FPS.
GPU utilization is in the mid 80's and the CPU is around 40-60% (i-5 3570k @4.2ghz). I'm actually going to try some missions now to see how it holds up.

Well If I had two 980tis I would be more inclined to mention it than if I had two 970s

Runs decently on my 970 and i7 4770K. 1080p, maxed settings, except no MSAA, AO and shadows at medium, generally maintains 60fps during missions, with some drops from time to time (though it gets more severe occasionally, coinciding with drops in GPU usage). Get a lot of drops to 50-55fps on the avenger. Game seems most demanding there and also when looking at the soldiers in the customization menu. Holding out hope for a performance patch/drivers.

I just set it on high and it seems to be hovering around 60.

Hmm I can roll with this. Thanks for the heads up.

So I have a r9 390 with 8 gig of ram and a i5 3.4....I'm assuming I'll be playing at around medium settings?
Kaffeemann

The R9 390 outperforms the GTX 970 in this game, you should be fine at high settings.

Bummer to see so many people having a hard time getting a consistent 60 fps. Guess I'll wait for a few patches.
Just tried it on mine as well, runs pretty shittily even on lowest settings.
Wonder why they bothered to support Mac.

It's strange because I get drops even when my GPU utilization isn't even maxed out. CPU usage stays fairly low like most games.

Seems like the germans were right.
WTF. I'd expect this from an open world game.

Yeah after reading these posts I deleted the pre load off my HDD and Im now downloading it to my SSD.
Lots of loading?
Why is that? I'm debating moving it to my SSD due to the hitches between player/enemy turns, etc. What else are you noticing that needs an SSD?

So 1440p with a 980Ti is going to be a struggle for 60fps? Jesus.
Nah, just max everything but lower AA to FXAA and you'll be golden. I honestly don't notice a huge downgrade in image quality when dropping it down anyways.
