FPS Bad? Turn off Screen Space Reflections and turn ON VT Compression!

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Like the title says, adjusting those things will be a god-send. Turn shadow resolution down as well, to 2048 at the most, because most modern games don't even have shadow resolutions half that.

EDIT: This will mean Jack if you are running on an AMD GPU, or if you have a weak pre-haswell CPU. However, if your specs are similar to these, it should help:

Intel Core i5 4670k, 3.4ghz.
NVidia GeForce GTX 560, 1gb
8gb RAM

I have some other tips here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/201810/discussions/0/540742399385274591/

tried both, didn't resolve anything. to hell with this game. i work full-time and i don't have the time or patience to spend hours on the internet looking for fixes and ♥♥♥♥. waste of $60.

[Francis_Mallman]

Yup, Screen Space Reflections makes the game unplayable for me.

Everything else is maxed out, and I'm at 60 FPS, at 2560x1080 on a single GPU.

ID Tech 5 is astonishing. Any other engine, with this amount of detail, and I'd have to have SLI running perfectly.

Running on AMD Hardware, perhance?

[KillStealKing82]

Seriously AMD are shocking with there opengl support, i suggested elsewhere that all there users should go straight to there forums and demand they fix em. Guess there to busy tring to divide the industy with there mantel api.

i don't know what kind of mickey m ouse cpu's you have but this game plays perfectly for me , grow up and do some research before u bash a game for playing bad on a crap cpu

And BTW for me i turned off VT compression and it played 100 x smoother

You need to have at least a 2 GB Video card and a good CPU with 8 GB of ram or more

i wouldn't even want to try to play this game with a 1 GB video card

I personally have no issues, I'm just trying to help others. The only issue I have is that turning VT Compression off actually causes issues, because of the fact that if you turn it off, all information is uncompressed. Aside from that, the game runs perfect for me on a 1gb card. (GTX 560.)

Anyother engine cannot produce this amount of detail because it cannot do megatexture aka virtual texturing. Compare a room in BF4 and a Room in Wolf and you will know how rich the environment looks with MT

It runs perfect for you on 560? I have a 560 ti 2gb twin fronz ii oc(factory overclocked). It is more powerful than your gtx 560 . So all i will need to do to run it fine is to turn of VT Compresion? And evrything else maxed will run ok? But by turning off VT Compressision then this means that the game will not run maxed. Maxed out means when a game runs with all graphic options enabled to the highest. Guessi will try to overclck the gpu core from 870 mhz to 920 to get some perfomance boost. i have 2500k 3,3ghz and 12 gb ram.

nope, still 1fps.

Doesnt work

Did for me, check the additions to my first post, and the link, and try those things as well.

Yeah, it runs pretty much perfect. And no, turn ON VT Compression, *DO NOT TURN IT OFF* Most top-of-the-line PCs will not handle having compression turned off, because that's potentially several GB of texture information at a time. The gain in visual fidelity isn't even large enough to justify it, and the texture pop-in made many times worse.

The screen space reflections aren't even worth much either, I couldn't notice any difference aside from FPS rape. Same deal with Shadow Resolutions above 4096... not much difference unless you have a monitor that's Ultra-HD and you're pressed point-blank against something.

The game is not *quite* maxxed, but I'm not so sure any reasonable PC under $4000 actually could from a technical standpoint. Turn your game to the prefixed HIGH setting, and turn the "Addtional Quality Settings" to Ultra.

in what resolution are you playing? I play at 1280x1024. Ok so turn On VT Compresion and live evrthing else maxed??? That what i need to run well on my 560 ti? Also is your 560 overclocked or is it at stock speed? and what ypur cpu? Mine is core i5 2500k 3,3ghz.

[your evil twin]

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83ghz, which I think was one of the first quad core processors, 8GB of RAM, and a few years ago I replaced the graphics card with a 2GB version of the Nvidia GTX 560TI. And I'm still using Vista 64.

I'm able to play 1080p with a framerate that varies between 35 and 60fps, on a mixture of low and medium settings, with screen reflections and flare haze turned off, and VT Compression turned off.

Actually performs better than having it turned on - though my graphics card is not very powerful, its 2gb of memory can handle those uncompressed textures. With VT Compression turned on, the processor would have to work to compress them.

At least, that's what it seems like to me.

[your evil twin]

Actually, I just turned on VT Compression and it seemed to give a small boost. I swear the reverse happened yesterday though. Weird.
