2560x1440 Gtx 980 ti

How would I perform?

[Harry101UK]

With everything maxed out (but Nvidia stuff off) I get 35-55fps.

980 Ti
i7 6700K
32gb RAM
2560x1440, 100% render scale

I was used to the PS4 Pro 30fps though, so this looks gorgeous and still outperforms the console version.

I'm running with a i7 4790k and a 980ti at 1440p. I have everything up to max except shadows which I have on High. I also have all Nvidia stuff off except the grass which I like too much.

I don't use the FPS counter but so far gameplay is very smooth. I did get occasional stuttering but since moving the game to a SSD this seems to have gone.

All in all it's running great.

It'd do fine, don't max the settings though. Sit there and adjust them with the FPS counter on until you reach a stable decent fps (60?). Take into account that most of the settings make little difference and the game looks largely the same on average for many settings, some of the higher settings can even make the game look worse through blur or poor implementation.

So you should sit there and fiddle with settings until you find the right compromise of FPS and visuals, if you stick it on maximum to make you feel good about your PC running max you're probably getting a suboptimal experience in both FPS and visual clarity.

you can all set lighting to average. Digital foundry could not tell the difference other than a 20% gain in FPS.

I've just read the Article. What they actually say is lighting and filtering have little difference average to high. Other settings however do.

With a 980ti the only setting you'll need on average is TRAM. This basically adjusts the texture resolution so I believe. Highest needs 12gb Vram, High needs 8gb and average 6gb.

This is not true at all, the TRAM setting adjusts itself based on your current hardware, my 1070 has 8gb and the max that TRAM will use on highest setting is around 7900, which is a self imposed cap with the setting, this can be easily seen when you turn the "FPS" counter on which shows memory usage etc.

I did my whole playthrough with TRAM set to highest and no issues. Having played with the settings the biggest issue with TRAM is that it increases loading times considerably, I can load a game in under 10 seconds with the TRAM set to low.

If you want 2K resolution with that GPU, I'd go for locked 30FPS.

That's nonesense. Game runs at 60fps at 1440p with a 980ti. Even maxed out you can keep it at 45-60. Average/High is 60fps.

I'm only repeating what Digital Foundry stated. They said at "Highest" the game requires 12gb Vram otherwise it starts to use Ram to load textures which causes stuttering. Your 1070 will never use more than 8gb because it doesn't have more than 8gb. It will simply start using the slower ram (DDr3 or 4) instead.

This isn't me making this up, go read the article.

I saw the Digital Foundry video, it's wrong. They said that because they were using a 12gb card, and it used 12gb. But if you use an 8gb it will cap at just under 8gb usage, it adjusts to the card, so you can use it fine on an 8gb card. And when I say cap I mean it sets a cap which is shown to the right, and to the left the current usage is shown (which is typically way below the cap)

And infact in terms of fps there is only about 2-3 fps difference between low and highest.

Here is a screenshot to show what I am describing. Maybe at 4K resolution with assets there is a difference, not the case otherwise.

I'm using the high TRAM option with my 980 TI, VRAM sits around 93% full, I've never seen it any higher.

It's your typical DF video. Lots of talk and analyze. zero clue what is really going on.

How people still take that site seriously is beyond me.

High t-ram will even work perfectly fine on a 3,5gb of v-ram card.

You'll get good pretty good fps. I have a 980ti running the game at 3440x1440 with most settings on high, geomapping on, tram on high, but all the nvidia options off. Just tweak it as you go and find a happy medium.

full HD meaning you are using the 4k textures? hmm i wonder why the demo (lacking 4k textures) performed better. hmmmm.
