Dead Rising 3 PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
Another thing: people on the steam forums are reporting that, similar to Dark Souls 1 PC, forcing crazy amounts of AA in your GPU control panel is increasing performance. Given that most people are reporting 40% gpu usage across the board. This actually makes sense in a weird sort of way, because for Dark Souls 1 PC forcing the AA actually made people's GPU's work harder than the game would normally, which increased performance for people. Or at least that's how people over in the PTDE OT explained it to me IIRC 
Worth a shot I guess if you're having problems getting it to acceptable framerates.

If that's the reason it's performing better, then instead people should go to
- 3D settings
- Manage 3D settings
- Program Settings
- Add (select the Dead Rising 3 executable)
- Set "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance"
That should give full GPU utilization without being forced to use that performance on AA.
SSAO totally affects the visuals in a noticeable way.

I thought he was talking about performance. Not sure though.

I haven't noticed any differences. Stability is better and bugs have been squashed, but performance is probably the same.

Thinking of buying for $30 on GMG
worth it or still broken

The game doesn't support SLI. The latest Nvidia driver said:
*Dead Rising 3 SLI-Single profile added
It looks like the driver just force the game to use single card. At this point I've given up on any optimization. It's been almost two months.
Honestly, you should have expected it with SLI.
SLI users represent what, less than 1% of PC gamers? I'm sorry, but you have unrealistic expectations if you expect developers to overhaul their engines to fit your overly expensive set up when they could be using that money to better uses like quashing bugs.
This is why I would never go SLI, and it's what SLi users should expect when buying that second card. Same thing with multimon users.
Proper PC games should support reasonably basic PC features.
But is it really reasonably basic? I have a rift, but I don't expect nor anticipate people supporting it because it's not a widely available product. If it has support, great. If not I'm not going to avoid a game simply because they reasonably used their resources in a sound way that maximized the efficiency of their budget.
What are the precise statistics of SLI users anyways? If it were a good minority, I might be able to concede to your argument. Otherwise, it's kind of on you for jumping onto a train that you should have researched enough about before diving in to know that support for it was going to be based on a "if we can do it" type of relationship.

I tried it about a week ago and had about 50 fps or so outdoors. Still couldn't get a solid 60 @ 1080p

*sigh* let alone 1440p. What AA options? I really wanna buy this game but if they haven't improved it from initial release I'm not interested.

So I, huh, bought this game. It was not my fault, it was on sale a few days ago, I swear !
Of course I knew the PC port was abysmal, in fact I even posted in this very thread a year ago but I could not imagine how bad it was until I played it.
I mean I'm not used to say this but DR3 is an unoptimized mess. This game genuinely does not care about your hardware.

Performance, specs, settings?
980, 4770k stock and 16gb of ram.
Nothing that can be done apparently, performance remains subpar no matter what's on screen.
Max settings at 1080p, with the fps unlocked.
