lol, IGN
Yup, as weak as the bone might be, it should be able to run this above 720p at least. Engine just seems to be a mess.

From what I've read it seems that if you have a big boy PC, you are fine at high settings. If your system is a little dated, though, and you don't want to play at lower settings, avoid.
This seems reasonable. I have a feeling we are going to hear a lot of complaining about "unoptimized ports" from people with 4 year old video cards who irrationally want to max out console ports at over 1080p 60fps from XB1 and PS4 that already ran at 30fps (and often sub 1080p) on those systems.

It could be argued that it's still a better port than Watch Dogs as it does not have stuttering. But some people have crashing issues, so I guess we can call it a wash...
Despite all this I am very excited to dig into the game tonight. Still happy that we got this port!
Nah, not even close. It would be awful if you got performance worse than the original console game. That's not the case. Even modest PCs will get similar perfomance to the Bone's 720p and sub 30FPS.
The crashing however is inexcusable so I'd definitely hold off until that's been fixed.

Copying my post from the other thread.
I'm on the 340.52 Nvidia drivers, not had a single crash, and load times are ok, not too long, but not exactly fast either. Installed on my HDD. Been playing for a bit more, performance isn't quite as terrible as I expected, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.

So I have an gtx860m in my laptop but steam says I need a gtx670 recommended. I went on CYRI and it said my comp couldn't run it. Is that accurate?
You could play it at 30FPS at 900p most likely on medium.
An 860m is similar to a 660 which is just below recommended. You certainly meet minimum specs though and then some.

With a 6GB 780 (almost the exact same thing as a Titan), I get dips as low as 30 FPS... but I'm playing at 2560x1440. No AA, motion blur disabled.
This is actually MUCH, MUCH worse than my performance in Battlefield 4, which in my opinion looks way better. Dead Rising 3 is actually one of the ugliest games I've played in recent memory, AND runs the worst.
This is partially due to the lack of SLI support. I have 2 of these cards in SLI, but with only 1 working, my performance is gutted. Still, with a game that looks like this, I would expect much better. I can't see anything that would justify the low frame rate. It happens even when there aren't a lot of zombies on screen.

They have had almost a full year since the xbone launch of this game and it's in this horrific state? What exactly have they been doing?
They have taken a game which ran pretty awfully on the xbone and made it run WORSE on superior hardware! How is that possible? The xbone is basically a small form factor PC, the console ports are supposed to be getting better, not worse.

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....
Let's remember TB has a high-end computer and always likes to play @60 fps, he is the type of guy who calls playing an action game at 30fps "unacceptable". Never mind that how most console gamers play lots of games, from start to end, and how lots of pc gamers play it (because most of them won't by a gpu that cost more than $250 nor they will be buying one each year).
You can still play at 60fps on mid-range machines, so as long as you're willing to tone down settings.
Citation needed.

Capcom Vancouver are not known for their optimization skills.
Let's not forget that Dead Rising 2 runs worse than the original Dead Rising and in some ways looks worse while doing it (though in others it does look better). On PC it runs terribly compared to other ports form the 360. When things were looking really bad for DR3 on Xbox One, I wasn't blaming the Xbox One, and I'm sure Microsoft did as much (if not more) for the optimization of the game on their system as Capcom Vancouver.
I love DR2... but yeah, if this is as poorly optimized as it sounds, then that'd be on Capcom Vancouver. I think they're good devs in other ways, but yeah... don't expect a Capcom Vancouver game to be well optimized on anything.

The Bone version doesn't run as bad as you seem to think. It definitely has dips but it's generally a steady 30 fps.
Prior to release, before they dropped it to 720p, it did run very very poorly.

You can cite myself. I played that way and with worse framerate for a lot of years (until, you know, I had a job and money to get something a bit better).
and let's not talk of laptop gamers...

Member
Any possible tips to maximize framerate? I usually play in windowed mode at a lower resolution but apparently this isn't possible in this case
anyone?
I disagree with your assertion that "many" PC gamers play at 30fps. Do you have anything substantial to back that up ?
I'm not even a 60fps ayatollah by the way. I'm fine with anything in between 40-60fps.
Not 30 though.

Somehow I had hoped that going from 1440p to 720p would net me more than a 8fps difference.

How will GTX660 1.5GB perform?
I do think a stable 30 fps with a game pad can be acceptable (and allows for downsampling from very high resolutions). Mouse aiming is horrendous at 30 fps, however. Also, sitting in close proximity to a monitor makes a lower frame- rate seem even worse.
I still prefer it IFF I can't reach a rock solid 60 fps. Can't stand dips in my PC games.

Probably dips below 30@1080p. Also the 1.5GB could be an issue, game uses a lot of VRAM.

5 minutes till unlock. hope it runs good for me
It's good to have the option to lock it at 30fps, but thank God I'm absolutely not bothered by varying framerates.
I have a GTX660 and was expecting performance similar to the X1, and that's what I got (actually a little better).
Are you changing the resolution in the advanced settings? Because that totally killed the framerate for me. From 40-60FPS to 10-20.

uh, I missed your post. Thank's.
mmh, I waiting an better experience, I have a R9 270x 2 gb, not much different to 7870

I'm going to try it on a Core 2 Extreme quad core clocked at 3.0 Ghz. I'm thinking it's going to run like ASSSSS.
Fortunately I have an i7 5930K processor, new mobo, ram, etc just waiting for a house free of toddlers (visiting family depart tomorrow late afternoon) to be put together.
But tonight, for at least shits and giggles, I run this on my Core 2 Extreme.

I'm currently unpacking this game. I have the current config:
Intel I5 4690K
8GB RAM
Geforce GTX 770 4GB (Latest Drivers)
7200rpm hard drive
I'm not going to bother with unlocking the framerate. It is not worth the hassle seeing all of the performance issues that are occurring. It's sad that this game wasn't optimized for 60fps. I would have had them delay the game or make it early access and sell at a steep discount in order to fix this game. It is a miracle this game even runs on Xbox One to be honest

I ran a benchmark and got an average of 53 FPS at max settings 1920x1080 with my CPU overclocked to 4.2GHz.
At 3.8GHz I got 48 FPS.
It uses my GPU pretty much fully, but I don't think it uses it efficiently.
CPU wise it seems to use all 8 threads but not as well as some games like Crysis 3.
My advice is to set the game to render at 900p and output at 1080p if you don't have a bleeding edge machine. If you are really struggling, shadows seem to be one of the most demanding options. Try lowering those.

According to this benchmark the game is reasonably well multithreaded.

Interesting. I wonder if this thing will average 60 on the new haswell-e's even. I'm presuming not to avoid disappointment.

I'd agree with 'reasonably' well I think. I'm not too clued up or experienced with multithreading because I rarely even check it.
Okay conflicting opinions, my system is starting to age. My specs:
Core i7@3.4GHz
10GB RAM
GTX 660
7200RPM HD
I don't mind turning off AA or SSAO and DoF but I do want a minimum of 30 FPS@1080. At the very least.
I think it may not be possible unless some other settings are run at medium. It uses 2.5gb VRAM at 1080p max settings.
And at 30fps it dips to 28 with really bad judder, similar to GTA V.

I'm more than willing to slog through 30fps, but it won't even hit a solid 30@900p on my setup.
I really can't deal with how laughably shoddy AAA PC ports are at this point.

On a gaming laptop:
Intel Core i5 processor at 2.5 ghz (3.0 ghz turbo boost)
Radeon 7670m
8 gb ram
All settings set to low or off at 720p
15-20 fps in periods of no action.
5-13 in taxing moments.
Game is, for all intents and purposes, unplayable. It's sad, but I'm not buying an Xbox One for one game. Here's hoping the performance is patched, even slightly, in the future. Yes, I know laptops aren't the best for gaming, but I can play just about everything else fine (for my extremely low standards). By the time word was coming out of horrible performance, it was far too late to cancel my preorder. Disappointing all round.

The game runs pretty much fine for me with a 2500k @ 4,2GHz and a stock 770, however I haven't checked out the FPS-count to be honest. The problem is the crashes though. I'm gonna try rolling back my drivers to 337.88 and see if that solves it.
EDIT: Using high settings at 1080p. Gonna check my fps with the old drivers.
