Hoping for solid 60fps over 1440p/high/ultra on my 980 Ti + 6700K rig.

same except got a 1070 which is similar to a 980 ti.

hope i can get 1440p 60fps with high-ish settings. might even drop to 1080p 60fps if the AA is good enough and i can bump up the settings a little. not long now until we find out.

I see the Blizzard launcher doesn't support an in-game FPS counter (or I missed it). I also saw based on the link posted above that 3rd party apps can cause input lag with the beta, I hope I can run FRAPS at least.

Oh so only pre-orders via the Blizzard shop get early access to the Beta. So I get the installer and download on the 29th. I wonder when on the 29th?

You can't.

All 3rd party programs that do any kind injection (that includes RTSS and FRAPS) are hard blocked by Bungie.

Destiny 2 has build in FPS counter, according Bungie.

Pre-ordered from amazon two hours ago and still no beta code. :(

I cancelled my preorder and went to gamestop because amazon was playing this "the terms and conditions state we will send it to you within 2 days, so you must wait" game with me.

I pre-ordered through amazon, received e-mail for code. Input that code into bungie.net to redeem, got the code for blizzard and already preloaded.

duh... if so is there a fps limiter in the game also?
I always limit my fps with msi afterburner to make sure fps stay under maximum refresh rate. 144hz in my case

seriously? that's disappointing. i was hoping to monitor usage/temps. i could always just leave it running in the background and check it when i'm done, right?

Yes, in config file.

I'm not kidding.

⋙Will Destiny 2 on PC include a framerate target option?
Yes, Destiny 2 on PC will include the ability to specify a framerate upper-limit (via a config file).

Article has all kinds of info about how 3rd party software works or doesn't with Destiny 2 PC.

Ye, that is doable. It just won't hook overlay to the game.

For info - somebody at Bungie says they're putting the beta live for people with codes in one hour from this post.

Edit: I'm checking with them now in case they've misunderstood the date.

I'm seriously expecting max settings with a i5 3570k and a GTX 970.

With the required specs they gave.

Would like 60fps but we'll see.

Ill update you guys to see what I get if anyone is interested

Really curious to see impressions.

Won't be able to check it out til tonight, but 6700K/`1080FE so I'm hoping for at least rock solid 60 on ultra 1440p. Very interested to see what 4K performance is like.

Can't wait to read impressions from you all in an hour.
