Increase fps GTX 960?
I have GTX 960 2GB, and the game runs at ~30fps 1080p on both medium and low presets (there is literally no difference in fps, no kidding). Reducing resolution doesn't help much (I win like 3-4 frames). What is going on? Am I missing something?

Please, if you are one of those elitists, who thinks only the latest gen should run games at stable 60 fps, don't reply. I know my GPU is not very powerful, but it is not ~36fps @ 720p weak, and it is WAY above minimum requirements (I honestly wonder what do they get, if this is what medium PC gets).

The game isn't optimised very well yet. GPU usage is barely going over 80% or something. I got a GTX960 with 4GB and I am experiencing similiar. However I can play the game at least at almost 60FPS (~42-55 and even 60 FPS in dark interors) @1680*1050.

I think it's going to be better with the next performance patch. And there wasn't a day 1 patch yet, was it? I was just preloading 2 days ago and then it was unpacking (for ages) at release day.

Yeah, I noticed that the usage was kinda low. Okay, thanks. Hope they will address this.
Minimum requirements means that the game is barely playable. Your specs might be higher but still, you might want to grab a 1070 or something.

Oh, look, these c*nts aren't able to read. Can't say I am surprised.

And in no universe minimum = barely playable.

Also, I guess you are implying that 1070 is for medium settings @ 1080p? You do realize that it is retarded? So that means 1060 is low @ 1080p? Then 1080 is for high settings @ 1080p. I guess 1050 Ti owners can go f*ck themselves then, because elitist thinks that $hitty optimization is acceptable.

Well, I would want to grab a 1070, but I am not gonna buy one right now, because the prices are crazy atm, , because of this cryptomining insanity. A 1080 is only a few bucks expensier for example. And nah, it looks like the game needs some performance patches first to experience the true performance of it all together.

People with 1080ti's are struggling to play this at 60 fps, some even at 1080p. The games an obvious console port, more designed to play at 30fps. I do not understand how such a bad port can be getting such high reviews.

I was hoping a cancerous comment is going to be here and I am not disappointed.

Well, the reviews were all made with beta versions. The testers probably expect the performance to get improved with time and put that into their conclusions. And I think EW2 is not that technically bad. If you compare it to the technical standpoint of the PC version of EW1 on it's release for example, then EW2 is really much, much better.
I'd even say it rather looks like an early PC version to me, than a horrible console port. I can play and enjoy it, even if it doesn't use my hardware to it's max right now. And I am expecting it to change witht he patches soon™. ;-)

I'm on a 960 SSC 4GB myself and after seeing the same issues tried to max the settings out at 1440p just for kicks and it's literally still around 30 fps (with a few more small dips than 1080 medium) despite the increased workload.

It's around 30-38 on low/medium 1080p and 28-32 on 1440p ultra? Yeah...this thing needs a bit of work.

At least if I'm going to play it at 30 fps I can play it at a nice res for now :\
