Hard time recording. Fraps kills performance. Can only record with ShadowPlay if I start the recording on the desktop first and alt tab back. Crashes ShadowPlay after about 2 minutes and the video that is captured has stuttered audio.

I'm playing the game on Ultra settings. 1080p. i7 4970k and gtx 980. 16gb ram. Flawless 60 frames per second. Runs magnificently.
Awesome, hopefully it's sooner rather than later. 4K/60+ fps here we come!

i7 2600 @ 3.4 (3.8 w/ Turbo Boost)
GTX 760 2GB
8 GB RAM @ 1600MHz
720p at low settings... still comes with constant framedrops. Prior to this, I've ran Garden Warfare 2 and Fallout 4 at 1080p 60fps on a mix of medium to high settings. Is it weird for me to feel like this game isn't optimized to its fullest? I'm not trying to max out visuals or anything, and I don't feel like this card should be falling behind like this, especially not this soon, and especially if the PS4 is handling it fine. Yeah, a console can push out a bit more performance than a PC can for obvious reasons, but even then, my parts aren't exactly weaker compared to the hardware there.
The strange part is, the performance squeezed out of running it at 720p on low is insignificant. Yeah, the framerate is a bit more stable, but I still get hits to around 30fps, which is basically the lowest I was getting at 1080p medium. Honestly, I can deal with a lower resolution granted the frames are better, but being unable to hit a consistent 60fps at 720p low settings? I just feel like they didn't even try optimizing for older cards. I feel I should be able to hit that, at least.
I'm pretty disappointed. This card has been able to handle recent stuff like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Dark Souls 3 just fine based on other's accounts, so it definitely doesn't feel like it's time for an upgrade. I'm regretting my purchase, but not much I can do now. I might wait for the inevitable Vulkan support and hope that it helps out before I play again, but I'm doubting it'll do more than make 720p playable. That can only do so much, right?

That's surprising! Will purchase once SLI support is implemented.

He is saying you need to reduce the virtual page texturing to low, which will still not be enough, hence you ALSO need to reduce the internal game resolution to reduce the framebuffer size (i.e. the thing having trouble fitting into your VRAM, causing the game to chug when it pulls from system memory over to VRAM).

looks like it's only my CPU that falls short of the recommended specs. is that for 1080p 60fps? it recommends an i7-3770 but i only have an i5-4590. as far as i know the i5-4590 should be more powerful but lacking hyperthreading. will this be an issue? what will my specs get me roughly?
i5-4590, 16GB, R9 290 4GB (w/~11% OC)

Most probably not an issue (or not a huge one).

I don't like the way glowing items pop out when you kill enemies, makes them feel like piñatas lol.
Can you turn that off, or make atleast them less visible? (I don't have the game yet)

Anyone got a 770 4GB / i7-4790k by chance? How's your performance in this game?

it does not happen with every kill and has a avariable amount when using gory kills / chainsaw. BUt sadly, now way to darken them atm for you.
I have found myself saying "you must have big guts" when I chainsaw something. lol
There's no firm date just yet.

I have the following:
Geforce 970GTX
i5 Haswell, 4670k, overclocked at 3.9ghz
16gb RAM
how well will it run on my PC? I'm the kind of guy that does everything at max, while using FXAA. Would I be able to do that with 60fps?
EDIT. Any optimization guides yet? Can't find it. Those are incredibly helpful for me.

You dont need any guides, just smash that ultra button and you are good to go into the silky smooth demon slaying.
4K is a mistake
install the latest nvida driver, it fixes this
Tiago has some merit with research he did in the past: (i'm not sure its the right presentation, i cant access games related pages at work
)http://www.crytek.com/download/Sousa_Graphics_Gems_CryENGINE3.pdf
Some effects scale good enough from lower resolutions to 4k that visual quality difference is not noticeable. Not all of course.

i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz
16GB 1600 DDR3 RAM
EVGA 750 Ti 2GB
Playing the game at 900p since that's my monitor native resolution.
Game plays alright on the high preset with shadows on medium and DOF AA turned off. Motion blur and chromatic aberration turned off also with AA options at TSSAA(8TX). Lots of screen tearing with adaptive v-sync on, but it manages to stay at 60fps most of the time.
Frames will drop during heavy moments and putting the dynamic resolution to 80 does seem to help keeping the FPS at 60. Putting the on option on v-sync will make make the fps drop to 30 at random points and during battles especially when doing a glory kill. If you care for multiplayer then it plays about the same just with less screen tearing going on.
This is with the new Nvidia drivers btw. The game with older drivers ran crappier.

Grabbed the new drivers and I'm incredibly relieved. Didn't expect them to make so much of a difference! 1080p on medium settings gets me 50-60fps for the most part, with drops to 40fps when things get busy. Going to mess around a bit more with settings tomorrow, it's late over here.
It could probably be a tad better, but I'm just relieved that it's playable now, honestly. That's all I wanted.

Vulkan will be amazing with this game, considering it already runs amazingly.

I added this to the Steam launch option for the game during the beta because of the intro movies playing up:

I am still downloading the game so haven't been able to test what the full release does.

ASUS Strix GTX 970 @ stock / 1438 MHz core, 7822 MHz mem.
16 Gb DRR3 1866 MHz
Samsung 850 Evo 250 Gb
I was initially running with vertical sync set to on, however I would seem to get the occasional stutter / hitch. Given that the frame-rate was so smooth I found it kind of annoying, so I decided to disable v-sync. Doing so removed the occasional stuttering / hitching while the game now runs around 78-85 FPS with no dips below 60 FPS at the 970's stock clocks.
I have every setting on Ultra at 1080p and am honestly blown away by how fast and smooth the game is. I can't tell if the game is just very basic visually or incredibly well optimized relative to its peers. Getting ~60 FPS in other modern games like Rise of the Tomb Raider required turning some settings down and over-clocking, while attempting to get around 85 FPS average would require changing most settings to medium or low. I don't know of a single AAA game that has run this well out of the box... ever!

Man that rig is crying out for a CPU upgrade :-(
I upgraded from a rig with that CPU about 6 months ago. But I'm impressed that you can still achieve such great performance using it. The less CPU-bound nature of so many games makes it possible, thankfully.
holy shit, is this for real? i just bought a new 144hz G sync monitor so I can't tell you how excited I am to play something over 60fps for the first time ever (I've never even seen it before). Hopefully my 980 can get me some good frame rates at 1440p.

Yup, i've seen posts from people with a similar PC (670GTX, I52500k), and they had to play on 720p for a solid 60fps.
... Can't wait for my 1070.

I feel like VRAM is gonna kill me here. I know titanfall had a hard time on my desktop cuz of vram issues, but my 580 obviously has more ommpf to it aside from that.
Only ran beta on my laptop since desktop is in another city atm. Ran about 30fps. dont know what settings.
Was waiting for HBM2 to upgrade since I wanna be super VR ready, but looks like I gotta wait.

Wait, how do you unlock the framerate for the game ? Don't see any options or am i just blind lol?
