60fps+ on 1440p Native (RTX 4070 Ti Super), but no fuck DRM and Denuvo, I my purchase saved the company from bankrupt, it would go bankrupt.

Let's be real, if PC piracy and sales numbers were flipped this platform would eclipse everything. But they aren't, so I'm not surprised they're wanting to protect their investment.
 
I'm surprised to see my 4070Ti Super can do cinematic at 1440p and maintain 60fps+ natively; which is what I aim for at a minimum. Unless the visuals are a massively different I'll probably drop some settings and/or use DLSS to push the framerate to 90+ (my preference).
 
Interesting data. I might pick this up.. especially with the new revelation that Denuvo is about to be cracked wide open.
It's also seemingly The New Graphical Showcase for PC.
 
Performance seems pretty good for a modern PC game. Throw in upscaling and you should be just fine if you have even a middle of the road GPU.

Best takeaway from that video, imo, is that the game doesn't suffer from stutters.
Thankfully this isn't a UE game.

Edit: Cinematic doesn't seem to be necessary. I bet you can get 99% of the visuals with high/ultra (whatever it's called).

Again, why is this running no problem on 8GB GPUs even at cinematic settings? Optimization? If you call aggressive pop-in where grass draws 1 feet away from the camera "optimization, sure.

Voted NO not coz of bad fps numbers, those will be fine when using dlss balance or hell even performance, just im not satisfied with that freaking pop-in/not taking advantage of bigger vram pool.
I know its probably wishfull thinking but hoping either that pop-in is reduced in a future patch(with adequate vram burden added obviously) or some modder fixes it for us.
 
well, of course not. it didn't have the warning sign after all:

always look for this stutter warning sign when buying games!
They should put it on outside of the physical box like they do when shipping devices with batteries!

"Caution, Stutters may negatively affect your mental health!"

We should talk to California lawmakers, they love this shit. Any CA bros here? 😂
 
Good, so on my 4090, at 1440p, 'Cinematic' settings, with DLSS & Framegen on, i should get a consistent 120 fps while keeping temperature and wattage under control.
