Probably similar to a 960 or a little bit worse. I'd assume it could pull 60fps at 1080p if a 670 can, just with lowered settings.

I just played an hour on PS4 and boy does that look fantastic!

980m is stronger than 960 I believe. 970m is similar to 960.
i5 4670
GTX 970
16GB RAM
W10
Running on MAX (on 1080P)...the starting area is ok, 55-60 fps mostly. However, after some hours of gameplay, I found myself in a place where the fps stays between 40-47. Changing the graphics to LOW did little to improve this. The game clearly needs more optimization if its to run at 60fps all the time.

Not got round to playing it yet,but going on people's responses looks like not the best optimised port.Shall reserve full judgement until I give it a go

980m should be somewhere between a 960 and 970. It'll do for 1080p/60 I'd imagine.

Wonder how my r7 265 will do...
That's the minimum GPU spec since it trades with 750Ti.
You mean version? Since ita coming out simultaneous and all. Or do you call the console versions ports also?
And you have durante of all people saying its runs great and from that you somehow get that its not optimised.

Some videos demonstrate it having framerate drops into the 40s and 50s even on high end hardware and it seems the game barely uses more than one core.
Yes (to streamers and members of the press).

Depends whether you're too relaxed or not.

That's good to hear, in fact, that's fucking great to hear.
Hopefully this old trusty 670 will be able to chug along this year until the new cards arrive.
Thanks
Antialiasing on/off makes no difference?
Does the game look good enough to merit 40 - 50 fps on a GTX 970?

Ahh reminds me of Dark Souls 1 on PC. Runs in 60fps in 4K and suddenly you enter an area where FPS tank down to 20 -.- With no reason... Turn settings down -> Nothing changes.
I really hope they do something about it in the next two weeks. But I doubt it. It seems like this is an engine problem.

Just upgraded from a Radeon 7970 to a 980 ti.
Gimme that 60fps.

This is..depressing, So no downscaling on my GTX 970, if even in 1080p there is fps dips from 60..
Why it should make difference? Its just shader AA.

Hah, same here, but I'm guessing it will be. Copy should be coming soon, can't wait to start
I find statements like this dubious, because they somehow blame the "port" (I'd call it "version" in a simultaneous release case such as this) specifically if a game doesn't match some arbitrary performance standard.
For example, yes, the game does not appear to be particularly well parallelized, but given the console performance that hardly seems to be an issue unique to the PC version. The difference being that instead of dropping into the low 20s or high 10s from 30 FPS on console it might drop into the low 50s or high 40s from 60 FPS on a decent gaming PC.
I actually had one BSOD in the beginning. Now, anyone who knows anything about computers knows that a BSOD can never be the fault of a game but rather has to be the fault of the system software stack. I subsequently updated my driver and I've had no stability issues with the game since then.

I was actually gonna make a thread about it, but since you're here, I might as well address you directly.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for this series on PC. I mean, I was a huge DS fan and would have bought the PC port regardless..but I know lots of people who would not have given Dark Souls 1 a shot on PC if it hadn't been for your mod and subsequent 60fps and texture mods from other users. Those same people would not have bought the game... but ended up doing so because of your work. Without your mod, DS2 may not have even happened... and even if it had, it may have been just another no frills barebones port job. However, DS2 was definitely best on PC, with most expectations of a PC gamer met.
Now with Dark Souls 3... again.. we may have never gotten this game on PC if DS1 hadn't sold tons on PC, which I attribute largely to your mod and other community members who worked to make it the best it absolutely could be.
I think I speak for most everyone when I say THANK YOU.
Thats good to know. Still, more outlets then GB reported having stability issues (like Jim Sterling) while others had no problems at all. I hope they manage to fix that before launch, it would suck if some people couldn't immediately play the game because of it being very unstable on their systems for some reason.
Goddamn it, From. I want to love you but you keep doing this.
Doubt my 3570k will do any better, then. Maybe it's time to start thinking about overclocking.
Yeah, obviously specific incompatibilities can never be entirely ruled out. The only thing I can say is that I haven't had a single stability issue so far after the driver update (and I do a lot of things with the game that could be kind of strenuous, like changing graphical settings all the time and purposefully rapidly warping all over the place to measure load times)
We haven't really talked about that yet. My goal would be to do it before release so that people can get the information they want before making a purchasing decision.

No probs.
Remember that there are some unoptimized areas that hammer a single cpu core, which causes the dips. The 970 has no fault in this.
Thanks for the reply and for the awesome intent behind doing the report.
One thing I noticed -- and I haven't seen any videos or read anything about the game due to spoilers, so it might well have been mentioned by others before -- is that while some graphics settings apply immediately, others only do so after reloading (even though you can always change them).
So if you saw someone changing a particular setting (but not reloading) and seeing no difference, it might actually make a difference but only upon reloading.

If a 770 can beast it, why is the PS4 capped at 30?

Hoping I can pull 1440p and 60fps on my R9 390 and i7 4790k.
Pretty sure you could but you are gonna have to fiddle with some settings obv.
Cause a 770 is like twice as fast? Unlocked frame rate on consoles is a terrible idea.
Thanks

How about AMD cards? A-anyone? ;_;
i5-2550k, not OC'd yet, but I got a water cooling block on the thing, so I shouldn't have any problem getting it to 4.2, 4.3 safely.
Radeon 7950, also bumped up clock speed, aftermarket cooling on it.
8GB RAM
AS long as I can get a consistent 30fps, I'll be happy. Was waiting for pascal to drop before getting a new card.

Good because i want that 1440p/60fps. Even if i have to lower one of the max settings to high.
Are you allowed to be more specific?
Some of the settings in the Candyland comparison video seemed to do very little if anything, and I was wondering if it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Do all the settings work as of now, is I guess what I'm actually asking.
I have not determined yet what, if anything, a few of the settings do. However, e.g. the texture setting seems to do nothing if you just change it from the menu, but makes a pretty stark difference if you change it and reload.
Obviously, testing all the settings that way (ideally in multiple scenarios) is quite a lot of work.
