About time we get this party started. Post your PC specs, settings, and what you're getting for framerate.

RTX 4090 + 5800X3D. I'm getting between 60 - 65fps at 4K with DLAA and max settings. some occasional dips below 60. I'm glad they included Reflex and Frame Gen. With those turned on I get around 100fps.

Notice any stuttering?

 

[Diddy X]

It came out on PC already?

edit: a demo I see, might try it later.

The demo

 

[Bojji]

From the other thread:

Looks like a solid port, 60FPS in starting area (45 in castle) with everything maxed out and DLSS Q (1440p internal) in 4k. Lots of upscaling options, I like it.

After changing to dynamic res DLSS, locked 59FPS (reflex on in 60Hz output):

 

[Kazdane]

No stuttering here. Make sure you've updated drivers (if you haven't already). Playing on 1440p max settings and running at 50-60 fps (with a Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3070). With framegen (using the DLSS to FSR mods) it's always hovering over 100 fps. So far, so good

Yeah, the demo is up on Steam. It's identical to the one they released for PS5 (and without getting into spoilers for anyone coming to the game for the first time, the demo covers the prologue of the game). Oh, and progress from the demo does carry over to the game, just as they did on PS5.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Notice any stuttering?

Not really. Maybe once or twice.

I'm gonna to download it to my Steamdeck, I expect it to run well on low settings

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Ill add here as well, just for people wondering, ive played just after the fight with the commander when the town opens up.

7800xt and 5800x3d

- The initial intro scene is pretty bad with stutters (even though the first thing it did was compile shaders ) - Not sure whats going on there. I noticed GPU usage was lower than usual and fluctuating alot.
- The other sections of the game seem to run pretty decent - i only got to the commander part and im pushing 70-80 fps.
- VRAM usage seems pretty tamed (even though i have 16gb, i never noticed it going over 8.5GB)
- Didnt notice any stuttering or pop-in!

- Motion Blur and VRS disabled, Sharpness maxed: its still on the blurrier/softer side. Definitely other motion crap enabled somewhere. Its not bad, but noticeble. Works pretty well with FSR3 imo.
- No ultrawide ( tested 21:9 ) support
- Frame rate and upscaling options are quite solid. I think FSR3 works quite well with this game. 35-50% improvement without frame gen on 'quality'. Minimal image quality hit at 1440p

- No aspect ratio settings (for those who dont rely solely on resolution)
- Cutscenes are 30 fps - its jarring going from 100 fps+ in game to 30. Hopefully a mod fixes that/someone uses AI to upscale the videos.
- HDR needs to be toggled in Windows beforehand - Ehh. (Edit, Nope - seems only Fullscreen mode can enable/disable)

- AA is ok at 1440p native. Its noticeable if you focus hard enough but those who add more sharpening, will defintely notice jaggies faster. Upscaling tech made it less noticebale, cause its abit softer.
- Enabling/Disabling FSR 3 frame generation is giving me an error - then hard crashing my PC. It locks up, needing a hard reboot. Not good! Edit (Get around it by enabling the FSR 1 mode first )
- I noticed some weird blurriness around characters and assets(rocks) in the distance - and its not VRS either

It looks good but perf could be abit better. I bet later drivers will help.

AMD users, 24.8.1 is coming soon fyi

It runs pretty terrible on Steamdeck, tbh. It's a very demanding game even on low settings.

 

[Kazdane]

Reading some comments on Reddit, maybe the source of stutters is dynamic resolution scaling? I keep that off since I don't mind fps dips (as long as they aren't extreme) and I'd rather preserve visual quality. So that may be why my experience was mostly stutter free (there was just only minor stutter on one of the cutscenes).

Than I'll wait for when a Steamdeck 2 comes out

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Or the Switch 2

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Or the Switch 2

You know that's most likely a launch year window game if it comes to Switch 2 (Looking likely)

Maybe it is, in some other games dynamic res could cause that.

FSR3 FG + Reflex (I love combinations like that):

This is the first PC game I have seen with 40fps lock:

Good to know. Curious what I get with my 7600x/7900xt PC. Demo is downloading.

 

[Myths]

No 21:9 support? I have black bars

 

[Diddy X]

No 21:9 support? I have black bars

The trailer says nothing about upgrades for PC version so probably there are none.

 

[Little Chicken]

Even at higher resolutions this game looks so average.

Especially compared to graphics benchmarks like Microsoft's Hellblade 2. FFXVI looks like it was intended to be cross-gen.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

constant stuttering for me

Are the cutscenes rendered in real time? I could see them giving this a patch down the road pulling this all together for 21:9

 

[Life Diff]

Welp there goes my double dip, unless it gets modded in

 

[Mister Wolf]

Do you have dynamic resolution on?

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Someone will definitely mod in 21:9

I'm sure the folks at flawless widescreen will have a go at it too

 

[winjer]

AMD users, 24.8.1 is coming soon fyi

Those drivers only ad support for:

Black Myth: Wukong
Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 Open Beta
Concord™
Star Wars Outlaws™


Edit: Here is the driver for FF XVI

[Tarnpanzer]

Notice any stuttering?

Minor hitches, nothing dramatic, but I have a 7950X3D. But according to other boards you get a lot of stuttering with older CPUs.

 

[SlimySnake]

Good. Any next gen only game that runs well on a 1.6 tflops GPU is not a next gen game.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Majority of the cutscenes are but afew are prerendered videos. Those are bad. That sudden 30 fps drop is super obvious on PC.

It's abit better on TV's though.

 

[SlimySnake]

Those drivers only ad support for:

Black Myth: Wukong

whats a driver exactly? and why do we need updated drivers for each game? are these just optimized settings in the nvidia profile inspector? like the ones we were fucking around with when starfield came out?

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

Do you have dynamic resolution on?

everything is on default
yes its on, i will turn it off and see how it plays

 

[ManaByte]

RTX 4090 + 5800X3D.

 

[Perrott]

No additional graphics features beyond what the PS5 version offered? Like RT or greatly improved shadows or AO and such.

 

[Kenpachii]

Just finished the demo.

4080 laptop, FG on and DLSS DLAA 1080p, constant ~160 fps.

Game is weird looking tho, sometimes it looks this gen, sometimes it looks last gen. Gameplay is basically just a fighter game with endless cutscenes.

Didn't had stuttering.

Such a shame about AO, can't stand blurry cascades.

 

[Dundar]

Yoshi-p truly took the complaints about no ethnical differences very seriously, i'm impressed

 

[IAmRei]

Hmm, there is hope, i think... I will pray so...

 

[SlimySnake]

Game is weird looking tho, sometimes it looks this gen, sometimes it looks last gen. Gameplay is basically just a fighter game with endless cutscenes.

Game is super schizo. It damn near caused a civil war in the graphics thread. Some people were like this shit is a ps3 game and then others were like this looks straight up cg in realtime cutscenes and big Eukon setpieces. War. I was in both camps because at times this shit looked like shit and other times it looked cg even in some gameplay scenes.

Both screenshots are from the same game.

 

[Myths]

PS2 clouds ftw

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[Kaachan]

No stuttering here. Make sure you've updated drivers (if you haven't already). Playing on 1440p max settings and running at 50-60 fps

But 50-60 is literally stuttering

 

[Mister Wolf]

Not with VRR.

 

[SantaC]

Runs fantastic on my 7900XT. Maybe AMD is better for this title?

 

[Yoshichan]

Not with VRR.

i'm glad we've reached the point where we need VRR on PC to reach the sublime excellence of 1440p. Next gen truly is here

 

[Mister Wolf]

We've needed VRR ever since it was introduced with Gsync. Do you remember what PC gaming was like prior to VRR? Playing around with settings to create some additional overhead so you could attempt to lock your framerate. Truly awful times and wasted performance.

You speak as if this is some sort of revolution... a revolution I haven't been part of because I've played all my PC games on my NON-VRR OLED-monitor. I don't buy PC games with awful tech - and this is one of those examples.

PS5, however, I use my VRR CX and it sure helps.. But that's a console, I'm expecting games to run like shit on it.

 

[nikos]

I can't believe there's no fucking native ultrawide support. There's already a work in progress fix available but that's a massive disappointment. I don't understand how these devs are so disconnected from technology.

Anyway, not the place to rant. Going to boot it up with the community fix now.

 

[Kazdane]

But 50-60 is literally stuttering

What? The game runs just fine, fps simply fluctuates slightly depending on what's on the scene. Just like... any other game? There are no hiccups, no noticeable slowdowns, nothing. So, I'm sorry but no, I'm not experiencing stuttering.

 

[MikeM]

Played a bit. Frame Gen seems broken. Is a tear fest on my setup (7900xt, LG C1).
Do settings do anything? Seems changing them from low to high netted very little additional FPS. Only real FPS change came fron switching upscaling to FSR1.
