Why not use DSR instead?

Running quite nicely on my quickly aging 660. Had to cut some of the obvious pretties, but like GZ, I've got quite clean IQ and a steady 60.
KBAM control however, seems just as much of an afterthought as it was in GZ. Half the button prompts are in Xbox 360 buttons, the controls section brings up a controller and not a keyboard (I don't have a controller, so it's not detecting one), freelook during cutscenes causes extremely jittery movement, aim sensitivity still seems off even after tweaking, and the bug I had in GZ where Snake would randomly get stuck running to the left or right is back in TPP. It appears to be happening with greater frequency, too.
I don't hold much hope of most of that getting fixed, so I'm hoping it won't cause too much frustration.

The fact that I find that to be the biggest problem with PC gaming should be taken as a compliment to PC gaming as a whole. I'm new to this though so it's going to take some time for me to get used to the mild annoyance of the DS4 not being supported properly (and I know it is partly Sony's fault).
It's just feels a bit lazy that games like TW3 or MGS5 who have released these games on the PS4 couldn't be bothered to add a DS4 prompt texture and DS4 compatibility from the beginning.

I used it once before (when it came out) and I recall the results not being as good as if you downsample a game through the custom resolution options.

Can anyone comment on the game's 4k performance on a 980 ti?
I see why it could seem that way, but really, when a controller is not even officially supported by a platform you would need to jump through quite a lot of hoops to support it. Basically, you'd have to use the (antiquated and annoying) Direct Input API, and then figure out whether it's actually a DS4 or some other direct-input-compatible gamepad. And finally, especially in a larger company with lawyers, once you've done that, you need to determine if it's actually allowed to ship those button mappings with your PC game! (The PS button shapes are trademarked AFAIK)
I'm quick to call out developers (or rather, publishers) when they really are lazy in their PC efforts, but as long as the DS controllers are not officially supported on Windows I'm willing to cut them some slack in that regard.

Yep, sounds like a Metal Gear Solid game.

I found that you can use a "Naked" version of all your camo, so I decided to go hunting as Nature Snake.
I am loving this game.

Who needs Hot Ryu when you can have Hot Snake?

Anyone max out most of it with a GTX 670?

I get that they didn't provide support for 5 button mice (stupid), but can you rebind controls?

Ugh, they don't support 5 button mice? The little things... MGS always has you pressing many buttons at the same time. It would be nice to have access to the buttons easiest to press.
You could bind your mouse buttons to keyboard keys, eh?
Same here through HDMI. It's been like this for me since Nvidia driver 353.62. I didn't have this issue on 353.30 and under.
Simple: the Gaussian filter DSR uses for scaling. It's more expensive than traditional bilinear or bicubic scaling methods, and a heck of a lot blurrier, even at 0% smoothness.

I can, but I've gotten away with not installing the Mouse software this long. It's just not ideal but I can deal with it.
Anyone else notice deadzone/input lag playing with a controller? Using the x360 controller here. Compared to the PS4 version of the game, atleast when i use the x360 controller on pc, it is a lot harder to aim. Talking like easy headshots vs missing them. Damn shame too... Im going to buy BT dongle to try the ps4 controller on pc, but noticed some already mentioned there being a deadzone on those too. Really wanted to play this on PC first too. Oh well

Is there a way to remove the 60 fps cap?

I5-3450 @ 3.5 GHz
R9 290x
16GB Ram
Everything on max except for 3 things. One is shadows and the other is terrain textures. Can´t remember the other one. Had one little drop in the Prologue to 50 during an explosion otherwise it runs perfectly at 60fps.

On a single Titan X at the moment.
On my EVGA SSC 960 2GB and i5 2500k @ 4.1, 8gb I can get solid 60fps at 1080p with high across the board. I can turn up most stuff to extra high and had negligible performance hit. Play with it and see if you can find a happy medium.
Swivel camera to where you want to turn and tap aim?

Yup.
i5 3470 Ivy Bridge

8GB RAM
The game actually runs better than Ground Zeroes. I have most options up to Extra High and few on High, most importatnly Effects @ 1080p.
I have done only the prologue and first mission in the actual open world Afghanistan. I have not noticed a single drop below 60, it runs VERY smooth, I was really surprised.
I have not tested it, but I would expect 30/4K with mixing up some options totally achievable.
EDIT: I should clarify: I can go higher and still be at mostly 60, but I want to have no drops whatsoever. Also on 15.8 Beta drivers

Is there a slower sneak button, or are you expected to go prone when stealthily approaching a guy from the back (...)? They hear footsteps with the default crouch speed. Not too happy with the PC controls TBH, but I did get it free, so I can't bitch too much. There are some finger gymnastics going on with the default layout, though.

Hold Ctrl to walk, crouch walk and crawl slower.

Ahh, Ctrl. Makes sense, thanks.
Thanks, that's fairly similar to my owns setup so I'll definitely be messing around with different settings.
Same card as you, everything maxed with HBAO+ @4k can only get around 45-52 fps FYI
Game looks absolutely gorgeous. I run this at constant 60 fps during gameplay with 1080p and everything set to highest except DoF and Motion Blur being off. GPU is 670 and 3570K CPU.
Anyone else having issues with Steam overlay though? Can't take pictures (I've already missed too many scenic views) nor open the overlay.

I prefer it, others prefer controller. Try and see!

They were able to fix 2 of 4 issues I had with the KB+M controls that were present in GZ, the finger gymnastics required to interrogate dudes and not changing mouse sensitivity to reflect zoom distance. No mouse cursor in menus is dumb, but bearable. The other unfixed issue (only 3 mouse buttons bindable) I worked around with mapping software anyway. I bound my side mouse buttons to sneak and binocs/scope, it heavily reduces the amount of awkward finger movement required for advanced maneuvers. Great PC port yet again! Sad that this is probably the last time we're going to see a FOX engine game...

I have a (4gb) 770. I have everything maxed except for lighting, shadows, and AA (which are all on high). It runs great. I imagine you can probably get pretty close to that. Will prolly have to dial a few other things down to high.
I have similar settings with a 760 + i3 4330 and I'm getting locked 60fps at 1080p, Ive not had a single drop in frame rate at all.

Don't know why, but there's tearing EVERYWHERE.
I've tried to activate Vsync on both the game and force it through NVidia control panel, but it's useless. It's getting on ny nerves.

Not bothered by it at all. Using ds4windows I can turn off the light bar, and there will be mods shortly for the ps4 icons in game.

That's actually dissapointing to here. I maxed GZ with a setup fairly similar to yours (slightly better cpu), so I had hoped to do the same here. Are you running at 1080p?
?Like another member answered, a 960 with i5.2500 and 8gb ram (my same specs) will run it incredibly. For me, everything except "post" is set to extra high and I didn't go below 59 fps throughout the entire prologue. These graphics are blowing my mind. Haven't seen it on PS4 yet (heard it's incredible too) but there's no way it keeps up with this.

I want some modding, does anyone know who may be working on it so I can assist?
