Anyone discover any good tweaks to improve performance? I switched between 720, 900, and 1080p but it didn't seem to make much of a difference in performance. I've got a R9 290 for reference and I seem to be getting decent performance but sometimes there are a couple settings that really affect performance more than others.

That 720p - 1080p setting is the most decisive setting from what I've tested myself and read from others.
Either that, or the actual screen resolution, of course.

So I dodged a bullet by not getting this...

How is it possible that SMAA T2x has more temporal aliasing than SMAA 1x? Even FXAA has less. (Look at his arms, and then look at the box on the ground (yellow) then the intersection of the floor of the garbage can.
On the arms specifically, SMAA T2x is totally failing, and has basically the same amount of aliasing as noAA. And everything else that it supposedly AA's temporally, doesn't so much as have reduced temporal aliasing as it just has a slight wobble over time instead of being temporally stable. Downsampling+SMAA T2x looks better, but it's still missing the same aliasing so on some part's it's akin to downsampling with no AA at all.

Performance I think HAS to be a driver issue at this point..

That's kinda how I feel. I have the game on the Bone, so I know what's there, but I wanted to play it again at 1080@60 with a buddy. It's good, but not worth the double dip if the port doesn't perform at that on my 4770k/GTX780. So, this is relegated to a Steam Sale for me.

After make it to the garage and leave, I CTD any time I go near the first "Tragic Ending" or whatever it's called.
It's a game breaker for me.
Only thing I haven't tried is rolling back my drivers.

Wait you got it working ???
I'm afraid we'll be saying that a lot, this console generation.
The only games I'm buying day one are from Bioware. Everything else? Let others cliff dive.
Well, I wouldn't say working. I still crash on the loading screen. But it did eventually finish that update.
Well same "progress" I made then I should have known better then to buy a capcom pc port.

Most Capcom ports are good nowadays. They may have issues at first, but they eventually fix most of them.
This may not be QLOC, but I'm sure they'll send out some fixes soon. Hopefully. And if they don't, it'll be the first bad port in a long while.
Uhh, so I dialed back to Nvidia 335.23, put the game on 720p (ewww) and tried locking the framerate through Nvidia to 30fps,
And it stopped crashing and is sorta playable but IT TEARS ALL THE TIME. Like v-sync doesn't work at all. I tried turning off the Nvidia v-sync and using the in-game one and even with in-game v-sync option on it's constantly tearing. Even with D3D Overrider on it's constantly tearing.
And then cutscenes stutter and fall to like 1-2fps for a few seconds and run at like 15fps.
Metro/Crysis/ANY GAME IN THE UNIVERSE runs better than this. 720p + constant tearing = ugly ass game even though I am impressed with the amount of zombies on screen.
I hope one day they can fix this because I consider it unplayable and borderline illegal to be on sale as is.

Not like it hasn't been repeated ad nauseam, but Capcom has a history of GREAT PC ports.

Do you by chance have multiple monitors? I had the same issue with the tearing until I switched to only having my main active while playing.
Nah, I do have my TV hooked up but it isn't an active monitor, so it shouldn't effect it.

And all that won't matter anymore because of this one. And even though it is by Capcom Vancouver, it'll perpetuate the 'japanese bad pc ports' stereotype even though most capcom ports are great.

I had the same thing a TV hooked up alongside my monitor, I did have it set to duplicate though. Another thing I noticed that oddly enough fixed the tearing, was switching the resolution (not game quality) to 720p.

Sad, but true. BUT, to be fair, all their future ports should be met with cautious skepticism because of this one.

The game runs perfectly fine on my computer*, only issue is it's a shitty port, man. It's like the image is choppy at times... annoying.

Here is my experience: Capcom screwed the pooch on this port. I'm used to good ports from them so I pre-ordered but I'm kinda regretting double dipping on this.
So I have an FX-9590 @ 5.2Ghz (8core) 290 retail clock, 20GB RAM 1600mhz and I'm getting anywhere from 22-55FPS @1080p maxed non-vsync tons of tearing.
Now the FX isn't much compared to a higher-end i5+ but compared to the Jaguar junk in the Bone it should be fucking flying. I mean it is AMDs top chip at the moment. And the 290 is so far above what is in there it isn't even funny.
Game looks a tad better than my bone version but still pretty "meh" and the textures are still crap. Don't know what went wrong on this port but performance is pathetic.
I hope patches do some good on this front. No excuse for this and dipping below 30 is especially shocking.

I played about an hour of it (up until you get to the safehouse) on whatever the default settings are. Gameplay itself stayed at around 30 frames, while cutscenes tanked to around 20 frames, with a few seconds going as low as 15.
Game once again locked up when I tried to quit to desktop, requiring another task manager kill. A minor complaint, but how does this even happen?

Looks, like Capcom should throw the port a.....Xbone.
K, i'll show myself out.

I get about 45-60fps on my GTX Titan at 1080p with everything on max.
What resolution?
didn't you say you were going to show yourself out
The amazing MT Framework engine had a lot to do with the port quality. Capcom, for wahtever reason, has decided to stop using it.

I'm pretty locked at 30fps and happy with what I'm getting. No crashes, and frame rate only really dips during max carnage. Cut-scenes are usually 30fps, but some are 20fps for seemingly no reason.

Beastly pc, dude. I am in awe.
Jeez!
Man, SMAA is still really damn impressive for the performance impact it has.
But yeah looking at that SMAA T2x is totally borked unfortunately.

Sorry for the late answer.
On my PC the average framerate was...I don't know, maybe 15 fps max. I used the same graphics settings as I did on my laptop (see page 1 for that) except that I used a resolution of 1680x1050 and an internal rendering resolution of 900p.
Not only did the framerate stutter like Porky Pig tripping on acid, it also had various graphical glitches which probably resulted from strange things during loading. For example during the first in-game cutscene where Nick opens a trunk of a car, there was no car.
Yet when I got to play the first section where you gather food I couldn't pick up the bagel because a car mysteriously spawned on top of it as well as three zombies on that car whcih didn't do nothing except look at Nick.
I played it on my PC until I got to the Diner, then turned it off because I couldn't play the game at this framerate anymore.
20 fps is one thing for me but frequent dips to 10 or lower fps is absolutely unacceptable.
I also played the game on my laptop again after that (see page 1 in this thread for specs) and after turning off Subsurface Scattering it ran smooth as fuck. 30 fps everywhere (except cutscenes, these still bug out on the framerate). Really nice and smooth.

I can get solid performance at 1080p res with most stuff maxed, but now the game started crashing every 5-10 minutes. Always because of nvwgf2umx.dll too.
It's annoying because the game is damn fun.

I'm doing this as well. Whatever, good enough.
