Weird FPS problems
I'm unable to reach 60 fps regardless of settings. Both at highest settings and lowest (including turning down the resolution to 640p) I pretty much get the same framerate of around 50 fps. Is this some sort of bug?

Specs:
Intel i5 6600k
AMD RX 580 8GB
16 GB ddr3 RAM
Windows 10
running from a HDD

Seems like a badly optimized game sadly :/

Turn the AA off

Oddly enough, I get the same performance as you on 720p, and I have a significantly weaker system. On a g4560 and GTX 1050. Everything enabled on the Advanced video settings, SMAA enabled: resolutions 720p and below get 50-60fps, mostly hovering around 57.

Only time I start to dip below 50 fps is when Increase the resolution past 768p, which is understandable given that I'm below system requirements (I've refunded the game in the meantime, not because of the performance, but because I don't like the constant nagging upon startup that I don't meet the requirements.)

Use different fps monitoring tool... or your vsync on option thinks you are using a 50Hz screen.

i'm at 4k and getting mostly 100+ fps
with SMAA x2.. strange that you pef problems? What is your GPU % usage? maybe there is a bottleneck some place. That said, your 6600k should be more than enough.
(game yells at me each time i start up because my 7980xe is to slow :P.. It doesn't see the OC)

Is that 4k 100 fps on the titan or the 2080ti sli you have

im getting 100+fps with gtx1060 6gb which is in the same class as rx580. Must be amd driver.

if your constantly always getting 50fps no matter your settings, then you have v-sync on.

man, some people should not be allowed pc's if they cant trouble shoot such dumb things like this

come on, use your brain. no other option in games makes the frame rate cap at a fixed point other then vsync.

I heck even then... i just booted this game up to test it. ran perfectly fine, max graphics, 1440p res, 100+ FPS, smooth as heck. vysync on or off , i had no problems, and im using a 165hz monitor

Im on an RX 470 and had similar issues. Turning off SAOO and AA boosted my performance dramatically

anyone know how the performance compares to Monster Hunter World? that game ran not great on my PC
Somath Nov 17, 2018 @ 1:04am 
Compared to monster hunter world this should be peanuts.

Are u sure this is not a amd thing ?
I have a bad experience with their video drivers over the last year.

And since there are ppl playing this on ultra with a gtx 970 on a 4k screen....

No it's not a constant 50 fps, and I know about v-sync. Also even if I didn't, don't be such a dink about it

The game also runs really poorly for me, runs at about 50ish max, unless i stare at the sky it goes up to 70fps. Others are reporting good performance on a weaker GPU so im a little confused.

Using a GTX 1060, i5-6500, 16gb ddr4 ram, windows 10. Running it on a SSD/HDD doesn't change my performance either.

during game press alt + enter, open task manager, make it "always on top" put it into corner (so you won't see it, but leave a bit of its top bar) and press alt + enter again.
This worked on forza 3 and forza 4 and works here as well.
