What's your In-game settings and performance?

[Doyefeellucky]

My fps varies greatly depending on the course: 30-50 on courses with many trees and/or lots of water, and 60-90 in the desert.
I have Depth of Field on, AA on, Object detail at 5, HQ Tree Count 300, and HQ Tree Distance at 500. I'm getting approx 35 fps (mainly from tee-off) with the above settings playing Black Brook golf course.

Playing around with the settings I reduced the Object detail whilst playing to see the increases in fps. Reducing the Object level to 4, then all the way to 2; each time I gained approx 2-3fps. Object detail level 2 overall gained 8 fps/23%). BTW I didn't detect a significant image quality difference between levels 4 and 3.

Tree Count varies with the course(obviously). With this course, increasing the tree count to 1000, reduced it by 7 fps, a loss of 20%! On Great Tottington golf club it was only 2-3fps. For me, even the low setting of 300 seems to cover the hole your playing. I don't care to much about the trees a mile away.

Increased the Tree Distance to 1000 on several courses and there was barely any fps difference.

Asus P6T SE X58

i don't know of the settings you set, haven't seen anything that detailed anywhere.
i got mine set on high, i have a 7-ish year old pc (quad core amd 2.4 gh, 8 ram, nVidia 560 ti 2 gig video card, runs GREAT so far.
only thing i did to play gta4 was upgrade to nVidia9500 1 gig card, then to the nVidia 560ti to handle Elder Scrolls V.
went from almost being a dust collector, to a real gaming machine.. again...
prolly gonna have to do another video card upgrade for GTA V.
i don't even know how you see your fps.

Just scroll down on the Display settings for all the other graphic settings.

Download the free FRAPS: http://www.fraps.com/download.php You can choose to display your fps during gameplay as well as record

Been looking for over 10 mins now to adjust settings. Exactly where are they?

Hey guys - Object Detail is a setting that we did not implement well and intend to change. As it is it is a multiplyer of all the settings in the game and almost no machine could run it at max well. So if you have the game's graphics set at high in the Launch Settings (Right-click on the game in your Steam library to set them) and have the Object Detail set to 2 - you will be running that game at 200% of the High settings. At an bject detail of 3 - it will be 3 times the high settings. So there is really no reason to set that above two or 3.

Thanks for the info.

My game is set to high in the launcher. Now checking the Object detail in-game, I can't really see any difference if I'm honest- for instance, there's high resolution shadows on Object detail 1, and I don't see any improvement on level 5!

My question is therefore: what is the difference with the in-game Object detail levels, because there is a substantial drop in fps when set to level 3,4 or 5. What's causing the hit on fps?

[76561198136027797]

Hey Doy - as I described above, it cranks up all of the settings, essentially. AA, DOF, Water, shadows, draw distance, etc...

[BullGod]

Thanks to this thread, I realized there WAS detail setting. I did not see them prior to this.
Awesome! Wondered why there were no settings for a game of this caliber :-)
Silly rabbit....

[DEATH]

i7 4790k @ 4.9ghz
GTX 970 @ 1629Mhz

and i get 30-50 fps

1440p everything enabled basically.

pretty dissapointed in the performance to be honest.

everything low 50-60fps.

i get better fps in metro last light ultra including SSAA @ 1440p.

kinda weird.

Not sure wat your object detail is set at, but try it at 2. That is the equivalent of Ultra. We made that setting go too high and each step is an additional 100% modifier of all the settings in the game (so having it at 5 is a 500% modifier of the High Settings)..

I have another golf game, custom golf, played very badly when I first got it, game dropping to desktop...looked bad..had to have the settings way down, then they patched it one day and it works great, really smooth on highest settings etc. Now I'm certainly not trying to compare the 2 games directly, they are much different.
This one for me plays like a dog atm dispite numerous changes to settings. Atm it looks like I'm playing underwater almost, with juddering and other graphical problems. And it just doesn't feel right to me, you know when a game looks and feels right and this one doesn't. For me I'm hoping a patch will come along that will fix it one day like custom golf. If not..well you can't win em all I guess.
ps this certainly is not a complaint, the developers clearly care about this game.
pps...I'm not putting in pc stats...someone always comes along with a ruler measuring things :)

The developer can't argue that the game is well optimized- and they can't defend the graphical glitches on a new game.

However, HB Lorin has recommended turning down Object detail to improve fps. On High setting, I played it on level 5 and the fps were poor(although it did run smoothly). After turning Object detail down to 3, I don't really see any graphical difference, but I do get a huge fps increase. I also keep the HQ tree count to 300.

On my old gpu, the start of each hole during the flyover is shockingly slow and stuttering compared to after you have taken your first shot.

The developers admit their graphic settings are not well implemented yet, but, apart from the occasional annoying glitches on the screen(mainly the sky), I find the graphics excellent.

I have my game set to high, but cannot see Object Detail as a settable item when right clicking on The golf Club in my library. In fact I cannot find ANY visuals settings other than being able to set resolution to low medium or high, and the Rez themselves.

It's in the display settings in-game. Just scroll down on the Display settings for Oblect detail, tree count/quality etc.

Thx.

Have the settings for graphics been improved yet? I've tried the suggestions, but had no luck. I have over 100 games and this is the only one that runs like a dog.
