It takes almost 5gb of VRAM at 1080p, and textures still look like shit. Arkane outdone themselves this time.

Clearly, id Tech 5 is simply not suited for such large and complex levels. I hope this is the last game ever using this engine.

Fallout 5 is already listed for the Void. But, idtech should go under vast improvements if they'll gonna use it next time.
Really bad choice for the Arkane to use it.
I hope they'll implement Vulkan in future releases. I thought this would come as standard for idtech.

Good to hear it's already unlocked here in DownUnderLand...I'll give it a whirl tonight after the kids are in bed. Looks like a good thing I just upgraded to a 6GIG video card.
Would be nice if Tyranny were unlocked too when I get home - a true "Tyranny of Choice" dilemma.

Game is good so far (3 hours in)
... and surprisingly harder than first one

Was the day one patch released? Supposedly that fixes most of the issues occurring with the pc port.
Was already baked into the pre-load. Only console peasants needed the Day 1 patch.

So to get 60 fps you need a GTX 1070 or 1080, nothing less? I'm a fan of Arkane and their games, but this one will have to wait until I upgrade. Like others, I'm also not happy about the DRM.
Now I'm just waiting what "progressive messages" they incorporated after hiring that RPS writer, her other credentials being interactive fiction about "raw exploration of female sexuality that also includes some astute observations about male desire" and writing for Kotaku and The Guardian.

The game is great but it is hindered by performance. Wait for Vulkan update.

It is anything but a good fit for any sort of open world game.
I suspect that this will be the last game using it.

I doubt it has anything to do with the engine's unsuitability. At the end of the day they got the game running on the primary platform, Playstation, at 30FPS. There's no reason that you couldn't get it running on far better video cards with the same settings at 60FPS, but obviously they haven't put the work in like DICE did with BF1.
I'd imagine it's more to do with a lack of overall time to fix these issues. Arkane is a much, much, much smaller team than DICE is and this is the first time they've worked with and released a game running on Id Tech/Void Engine.
One of the reasons the game doesn't run as well on pcs as it does on consoles is that on console you have a lot more tricks you can pull to get extra frames that developers cannot do on pc. You can code down to the metal on consoles, you can't on pc you have to go through a layer of software abstraction which is why console games run on lesser hardware and manage to look better over time. Plus, Arkane would've had the assistance of sony's ICE team who whenever a AAA studio has an issue with developing on the PS4 come into the studio and work on the issue for a solution. You can't get that with PC development sadly.
Based on Id Tech 5
Anyway game looks pretty good if you have a Nasa rig:
It's a DX11 game. Or rather, an OpenGL game using a DX11 wrapper.
Usual performance-enhancing magick you can try without harming visuals:
-Disable Gayrays and Volumetric Lighting (It's Nvidia GW gimmick that's even hurting NV performance)
-Disable TXAA (makes stuff only blurry)
-Disable HBAO+
-Notch everything down from Ultra to Very High. Use perhaps High for Shadows, then creep your way up.
-Disable mouse smoothing and mouse friction
If you use Geforce, make sure to
-Use latest 375.70 driver
-Go into NV panel Manage 3D settings, set "Maximum Pre-rendered Frames" to 1.
Now of course the Karnaca outside areas might still slump into stuttering, regardless what kind of settings or GFX raw-power you throw at it. That's because the level designers bit off a too large chunk of art complexity that the shitty engine can't handle. We'll probably have to wait for a game patch.
Huh? What does that mean? I mean, Id Tech is usually OpenGL but I don't understand how or why what you said would work.
No.

Looks like we discovered why they're not sending review codes then. Fallout 4 sized disappointment incoming
Worse performance than the new Battlefield. Wtf.
