Dead Rising 3 PC Performance Thread

I'm bothered mostly by the specific issue I posted.. otherwise it seems fine really
it's not perfect but given my expectations after the reports..
I played through the opening sequence, lots of zombies on sreen, max settings and it's totally playable
not monitoring framerate atm, but it was good.

My FPS counter wasn't showing up, but I was definitely getting some lock-ups in the beginning, then it was okay, then after I got to the garage and started exploring, it got pretty bad. Every other second it would jitter/lock up briefly.

I'm playing it at 720p at 60Hz with everything at medium (except sky). I won't even bother with 60 FPS.

Almost same specs except GPU is 6850 here. Game runs like shit. First game I am playing at 1080p all low settings at 30 fps since I got my PC 4 years ago.
Game is really fun, but the technical issues are killing it.
NOT A SINGLE CRASH SO FAR though.

What was your average fps? I'm getting a similar GPU to yours.

1080p is so last gen. 720p is back bitches!
Oh, and turn off subsurface scattering to minimize frame drops in cutscenes. I don't see much of a difference and the performance impact is huge.

AO made a huge difference but then you are dropping one of the things that actually adds a good deal of overall touch to the games look. Also dropping it down to 720p. If you can handle it. Also Subsurface scattering.
Are you kidding? The visual impact is absolutely massive. It looks dramatically better with it enabled.

It runs fine for me. 1200p, All maxed except motion blur and dof, 60fps most of the time, 40fps as minimum fps in streets full of zombies and you in a vehicle trying to advance.
Of course, I have a Amd 290X which seems the best case scenario for this game in particular, and a OC'ed 4770K.

I honestly wouldn't bother with it in its current state. I'm using a 7870 / i5 4570 3,2GHz and it's what I'd call "barely playble" with framedrops below 30fps all over the place.

the xbone version does not run at 20 fps. are you really this dense?
I just can't run it at 1440p on my 660 TI & i5 3570k @ 4.2GHZ, which I'm not entirely surprised by. Only Motion Blur and Depth of Field seemed to make any noticable FPS difference(which didn't push my frame rate up to 30FPS) apart from internal resolution. Which is annoying, resolution is the last thing I want to drop in a game for performance sake. At 1080p I managed to get it to run at 30fps outside of cutscenes. However, even running it at 1080p the cut scenes run like total crap. Was getting 15fps on the one I got just before I shut the game. Not sure I even get why cutscenes are running worse than the game itself despite having less to process on the screen.
Edit: Oh and I did have one random crash during a cutscene on getting to the garage. :I
Edit2: Hmm I'll have to try turning subsurface scattering off again. I turned it back on since it didn't have a performance hit during normal playing. Hopefully that'll fix the cutscenes.

Soooooo, is the game still crashing every 15-20 minutes or will I have to rollback my Nvidia driver when I get home?
Game is still locked to a 4x3 resolution for me with black bars on the screen. Displays at 1280x1024 with gigantic black bars on the screen. No way to change it, as the visuals menu only alternates between 1280x1024 at 60 or 75hz. Don't have the best monitor (1440x900 resolution), but I'd like to be able to actually run the game at native res.

It kept crashing every 10-15 minutes having everything maxed out at 1080p with 30fps lock. I dropped everything to low and I haven't experienced crashes....yet. I highly advise people to either play everything at low or wait for a patch or driver update.

EDIT: Nevermind. It even crashes on low *Sigh*

You have the exact GPU as me so I'll try that when I get home. This game is the most fun I've had in a while and the crashes just derail the shit out of my happy mood.
Alright so I put about an hour and half into it.
Rocking a GTX680, i7 3770K, and 8GB VRAM.
I set the resolution to 1080p, kept everything at High, only turned off Depth of Field and Motion Blur.
Solidly 30FPS throughout, though during cutscenes it dips to the lower 20s. I'm happy with it, although it runs so hot.

A LOT of FPS drops. Playing on medium to max, 1080p quality, synced to 30 fps yet still getting a lot of fps drops and like 3 second game pauses.
Happens in cutscenes and while playing.
So sad, except from the performance issues it really is a great game, loving it and one of the games were the DLC with it is actually great.
I like the changes made so far with 3.
REALLY hope they get it sorted.

Switched to the 30 FPS cap to avoid the crashing for now. Wouldn't bother me that much if I wasn't playing on Nightmare where a crash means losing 30 minutes of progress.
Does it feel kind of juddery though? Perhaps it's just a placebo but I play a lot of console games locked at 30 and this feels......worse

99% is 99%. It is telling the full story of temperatures. 99% in one game is going to pretty much have the same thermal consequences as 99% in another game. Doesn't matter how it's using the GPU. Obviously the other components in your system can contribute more or less to the case temp (and thus GPU temp) from game to game, but it's generally going to be very similar.

you need to force 30 fps from your driver settings. The ingame 30 fps lock creates frame pacing issues, causing judder and stuttering. read here for more details.

I booted the game up while on lunch break to see how my computer would handle just the menu. At first it maxed out my CPU usage (2500k), but it mellowed out a bit while I was checking the settings. However, it locked up when I quit to desktop, prompting me to CAD so I could kill it manually.
Weird.

Adaptive half refresh rate?
mugurumakensei
Member
I feel like I must be the exception. I haven't crashed once. I've also had a stable frame. I5 2500k and 670 with 16 GB ram.
I've put on vsync and let the frame rate stay capped at 30 fps. Res is 1080P. No antialiasing. Motion Blur and DoF disabled since they annoy me. It's been stable in both running and frame rate.

How do you force 30fps through driver settings on an Nvidia board?
I usually use DXTory, but the game crashes on start if I have it running...

Don't bother. I am playing at 720p at Low settings and still game drops frames when action is hectic. And my PC is better than you in every way:
AMD Phenom II 1055T
MSI Cyclone 6850 PE/OC 1 GB DDR5
Corsair 8 GB 1600 Mhz

Well i guess that explains why 30fps PC games feel like shit, even when played with a controller, while console games that are locked at that framerate generally feel fine.
Set it through the Nvidia Control Panel. Under "Manage 3D Settings," you'll be able to find deadrising3.exe in the drop-down list and set up vsync (along with a lot of other stuff).

LOL that's what I'm expecting.
I'm using Nvidia's 1/2 refresh vsync coupled with maximum pre-rendered frames set to 1. It's smooth as butter, with virtually no input lag (on a Xbox One pad), and just infinitely better than the last two 30fps locked games I've played on PS4. Namely Destiny Beta and TLOU Remastered.

Make sure you save the file as user.ini within the text file itself. It should just say "User" and register as a configuration file.
This causes lots of tearing for me :/ Are you'll choosing adaptive half refresh? I feel there used to be a straight "Half refresh vsync" but I no longer see that optionI'm using Nvidia's 1/2 refresh vsync coupled with maximum pre-rendered frames set to 1. It's smooth as butter, with virtually no input lag (on a Xbox One pad), and just infinitely better than the last two 30fps locked games I've played on PS4. Namely Destiny Beta and TLOU Remastered.
I see no option in there to limit the framerate to a set number...

Lol, tried to run the game at 2880xwhatever to see if I can get rid of the tearing by pushing the game harder and it crashed the game, came up with a low memory warning, and froze my computer for 30 seconds. Then had to restart windows explorer.
Half refresh rate. I just set it for regular vsync it's holding at 30 aside from cutscenes and tons of stuff going on, though. Not using in-game vsync.
I'm using Nvidia Inspector to be honest. There you'll find the standalone option and tons of other stuff. You're right, adaptive 1/2 refresh did cause lots of tearing for me too.
EDIT: Nvidia users who haven't already downloaded Nvidia Inspector, please do give it a try. You'll be able to cap your frame rates, etc., etc.

ok firstly
I am going to put this out there, having this port run like this to the 'untrained' eye makes the Xbox One look very next gen...
as Total biscuit said at present you need a $2000 dollar machine just to get it to run 'ok'..
I appreciate it could just be a cock up, but you know....
It is just a cock up.

I forget you can use Nvidia Inspector for things other than SGSSAA
Edit: worked perfectly though, thanks.
