4090 already run the game with ease at high fps at max settings 4K

DLSS Performance is far from being max settings. It's 1080p and ugly AF.

DLSS Quality is the bare minimum on my 42".

Can it run @80/90 fps on DLSS Quality + max settings with 4090 ? Legit question.

So about the FrameGen not working, it seems you need to restart the game after enabling it for the first time, at least that's what worked for me.
If not, try turning it off and on again.
Frametime graph is smooth for me now, no big hitches like at first.
FPS in the intro is above 100 outside and alot higher in the cave for me.
4090 FE, 5800X3D, 1440P/144Hz display with DLSS Quality and FG on.
Without FG the FPS are around 70-75ish in the jungle.

I am running at 80+ FPS on DLSS Quality Ultra settings. Now are you wanting path tracing as well. I don't think you will hit that without framegen.

Have you guys noticed that even if using DLAA there is still aliasing in some areas? It's pretty weird, never seen a game with DLSS that has this amount of shimmering. Thankfully it's only in some places and not the whole game

I'm 1440p. So it will be less at 4k. Ill be hooking up my 48" ultragear OLED tonight so I'll capture some images.

Yeah that's what i thought.

Will wait for 5090 definitely before playing. The game must be either extremely beautiful or shit optimization as all AAA nowadays games.

There is no way i'm playing at 4K DLSS Performance (lmao 1080 real resolution) with a 4090 to achieve good framerate.

This is with pathtracing on. If you didnt have pathtracing on it is very well optimised. You are aware of how demanding path tracing is, right?

Its an incredibly well optimised game

Interesting. I can’t tell which one is pt here.
So the other picture with hand was cherry picked and everyone was praising pt too soon ?

PT, like always, is best for indirect light. In bright noon sunlight there’s no point to compare.

There’s a massive difference. DF video will be something else.

Yes i'm aware of PT incredible requirements. I completely turned it off in Cyberpunk to achieve 90/100fps with DLSS Quality so i know it's not viable for now.

Since PT was newly added with the update i didn't think of it when talking about "ultra settings". It meant RT not PT for me lol.
 
How's the PC version? Any stuttering issues?
For me it's unplayable on gamepass.

Stutters every 5-10 seconds on the gamepass version. FPS drops from 120+ to 0 and immediately back up again.

Upgraded to game ready driver for this game. Tried with DLSS on and off. Read someone fixed it by swapping to windowed and back to windowed borderless (there is no full screen option lol). Even put resolution to 1080p from my normal 1440p but it makes no difference. Seems something is borked.

Just looked it up and your 4080 Laptop should be equal to a Desktop 4070 almost Ti.
Good Card.

Yeah.....I'm pretty happy with it. Lower wattage than the desktop version, of course, and I'm still hitting thermal limits, but I have it hooked up to my 4K TV in my office and I can hit 60+ fps with just about any game with the right combination of DLSS and other settings. That's really all I care about. Anything above 60 is gravy to me.

I posted earlier than with some settings I had to apply them more than once for them to take. It's weird. I was changing DLSS from quality to balanced to performance. I had single digit frames with quality and balanced and then jumped to 90fps with performance. I think I was actually running native when I had it set to quality and balanced. The settings part of the app is just screwed up, imo.

Yes Baws.

I've put a couple of hours into the game and just how much of an immersive sim-like game it is has caught me by surprise very pleasantly. After the linear prologue and Marshal College chapter, the Vatican area opening up is like a breath of fresh air and other posters like ManaByte ManaByte have said the later areas are even better, so can't wait to get to them.

Outside of one instance where the game makes you fight someone face to face to teach you charge mechanics, I have not had the need to do open combat with any enemy so far, the stealth etc is effective.

I have not touched upon the first story objective in the Vatican chapter and have been exploring Vatican city doing mysteries, discoveries etc for the last couple of hours, finding books, rewards, side quests etc. Exploration itself is very fun and rewarding.

It also helps that the game is incredibly well polished and 'issue-free' unlike most major releases in their first couple of days / weeks these days, so playing the game itself is a fun experience.



I asked already but nobody responded, what are the rewards for exploration?

Do you find new loot, weapons, unlock new abilities, is there any character progression? Ot it's just collectibles and stuff to read?

Because i read comparisons with dishonored but a lot of what you find in that game actively make you strong or let you buy upgrades for your weapons, is there anything like this in indy?

It's a mix. You find random people that need help with either small things, or proper 'side quests', you get rewards like skill books, reward points that let you use said skill books, and a lot of world building like diaries, notes, maps, treasure puzzles etc.

Comparing with Dishonored is pretty apt in this case.

After Egypt there are two smaller areas you go to that don't have the open world style exploration. They're very linear, but they each lead into amazing set pieces before you get to another area that's an open exploration area like Vatican and Egypt.

I wouldn't call them Uncharted set pieces. They're Indiana Jones set pieces if Spielberg were to have an infinite budget and unlimited scale.
 
You realise they don’t start with the bright lights right? Yes you can ruin images with bad lighting, like looking at the sun, or bloom if you’re old enough to remember the UE3 days.

How is the combat? 1st person games typically have abysmal combat. this is good?

And, how puzzle heavy is this?
It's only a little better than a typical melee attack in any FPS.

You have left/right triggers for each hand attack/punch. Left bumper is a block. "A" plus move is a sort of dodge. You have health and stamina to conserve. So there is a bit of resource management where blocking slows damage but prevents stamina recovery, if you can dodge you can slip in a few hits, other wise its basically ambushing fools or waiting for them to drop their block so you can whoop 'em. Through the Vatican at least, most go down in 2-3 good hits and with some space to move around you can lay out 2-3, maybe even 4 guys.

But there can be some heavy hitters that move fast and hit hard, so you gotta be careful pulling in mobs. There are no real "blue for parry/red for dodge" indicators or stuff like that so its a lot more looking for animations than hit timing based on color flashes.

You upgrade the combat through the course of the game by finding books. I just got the perfect dodge book.

First 10 times.

But I'm happy that you like it. I don't.
Nah, they got that meaty "twack" sound effect from the movies in there, real tomahawk steak slapping up against a slab of ribs. Soooo good.

The one time I got a submachine gun though.......wooooooow you really feel powerful for those 20 rounds or so :p

You guys are crazy. This game is fucking phenomenal. Reached the 4th area and I have no words.

Edit: I hope the quality remains as the game progresses.

Just a tip: You guys should not get the locations spoiled so I recommend you avoid the thread and guides till you finish the game.

Yeah standard ultra settings, you will be more than fine I think.

Represent. Represent. Dude i don't think this is a game for you, puzzles seems to be the best thing about it and the game is full of them and the combat is purposely kinda goofy looking to replicate the movie tone, don't expect tlou2 level of violence or "realism".
Another Xbox failure.

Kidding, thanks, i figured - Im out lol. I just have no interest in heavy puzzle games these days

Oh yeah, I'm smacking fascists up their heads with shovels, wrenches (even fly swatters) and no blood or gore. This is not that type of game in terms of portrayal of violence at all. The level of 'violence' is analogous to the movies.

After getting the achievement for using a guitar to bash a guy, my kid insists I use every ludicrous weapon possible looking for more achievements.

Not getting a "ring the bell" or "deck the hall" one for using the hand bell was VERY disappointing :p

Thank god they didn't go for uncharted



I mean, good for Uncharted being its own thing and Indiana Jones being its own thing, I just couldn't ever imagine Indiana jones going on a genocide like Drake always does.

The game is totally amazing and so the collector's edition is so nice too, love the way you have to open the globe

These your pics? How study is that globe? My kid is asking about it but I'm reluctant to drop $200 on a flimsy globe. But if its robust I wonder if I could fab up an insert for a bottle of scotch and some glasses kinda like this.

I need to find a guitar lol, the swatter achievement was a 'wtf' out of nowhere, now I'm also trying to use every random item in the world at least once.

Just started this and i'd thought this would be shit but no, this is just like the films, yeah the original and the two sequels, what do you mean they made 5 ? No, for me this like The Terminator game and Robocop from last year, they know their shit, they really got Indy, and since i'm playing it with the French dub they even got the French actor who's been dubing Ford since Last Crusade so yeah really great 👍

It's of all top quality (for a games collectors item) and I love the way you need to use the plane to open up the Globe

Movies have some "disturbing" scene in them tho, but yeah most of the fights were pretty tame.

The amount of care put into just the college is pretty impressive. Really nailing the nostalgic 1930s archeologist vibe perfectly. Very impressed already. Troy Baker is killing it.

Give how often Indy is looking at stuff up close I think a third person game would have as much "zoom in to see whats in front of you" as this game has "zoom out to see Indy moving around". I'm starting to see why they went with first person.

Not sure I agree, but I can see the choice thye made.
We've had third-person games where you are picking up objects and inspecting/looking at them so I dunno if first-person is justified for that reason. After playing the game, I still wish at times that it was third-person but it's fine. I am enjoying it still.

Also seeing how awkward Indy's movements are when in third person.......I'm starting to understand as well why they decided to stick to what they know. I guess there is just a lot more to making a characters movement look fluid in third person when having to do so many different interactions.
Yeah, that's likely the reason they went with first-person view. Still, I think if they had tried to make a third-person game, they could have done it.

Seems my 4070 super can't do path tracing in this due to the 12gb vram. 😭
I would think even the 4080 might struggle even with 16gb ram unless you go lower than 4K. Nvidia has severely underpowered all of there cards compared to the 4090. It seems anyone who wants to enjoy a full path tracing experience are stuck paying the exorbitant prices for a 4090, or the upcoming 5090, or perhaps the 5080. Nvidia, are ridiculously stingy with their ram in recent cards. I saw a good video about this the other day where a streamer was demonstrating that a 3060 at 1080P and high settings with 12gb of RAM was outperforming the 4060 with a piddly 8gb ram. I have a 5700 XT with no ray tracing capabilities whatsoever so I am either going to buy an RDNA 4 RX 8800, or perhaps a mid tier Nvidia card like yours. I doubt I would be lucky enough to find a used 4080 for a good price otherwise I might go that route.
