I'll be playing on Win 7 (64-bit) with a GTX 670 @ 1080p

A few questions for ye guys:

What OS are ye playing on??? Win 7 vs Win 8
What GFX's are ye using???
Resolution and FPS???

Cheers guys.

I believe Win 8.1 gives 20% boost to fps.

Im using W7 ultimate (64bit)

i52500K @ 4.4ghz
MSI 660Ti Twin FrozR
Game installed to Crucial M4 SSD

All ultra gfx apart from AA @ 1920X1200 60-90 fps

dreamers75

W7 I5 7870 SSD

60-90 FPS everything on Ultra 1080

Massive lag spikes tho 200MB UPC

NTMK

2560x1400
Win 8
i5 gtx780
playing at 60-70fps all ultra except for post AA which is off

sink

Anywhere I can get Windows 8 upgrade cheap?

Playing at 2560x1080 high-ultra, Fx6300 is a massive let down in this game though and drags the whole system down.

Anyone using the AMD Gaming Evolved App from Raptr ? , it came down witht he latest Beta drivers from ati .

Win 7 Ultimate
AMD 8350
ATI 7870
8 Gigs Ram
Samsung SSD

And I will have to report back on how it is looking and playing because just before the beta ended I was able to play nice and smooth all Ultra , then I upgraded my mobo chip and HD and now it seems to Auto to medium and seems a bit stuttery at times .

dreamers75

Yeah its an annoying program. I finding lag the main issue no issues running the game on Ultra.

jumbobreakfast

Win8 users were getting +20% during first release of the beta but after a few patches to the beta win7 was performing almost the same. Wait for some benchmarks of the finished game to be released before taking the plunge

for the love of all that is holy do not switch to windows 8

it's like windows 7 and some early ****ed version of android had an illegitimate child and turned your gaming PC into some godawful tablet menu thing for designed for hyper 14 year olds

just got your tank back after some wanker stole it from you while you were repairing? don't worry win8 will cut you back to desktop and force you to restart for another "update", piece of ****e

Bit melodramatic?

With 8.1, we can boot straight to the desktop. I never even see Metro.

There must be something wrong here.

I have a 4670k, 16GB RAM 2*7950s in Crossfire, and at 1080P and Ultra, and I'm only getting 30-60 FPS and gigantic lag spikes.

Looks interesting!

jonski

obviously complete stupidity on my behalf but where am I going wrong with this command 'perfoverlay.drawfps 1' ? it says command not recognized .

Dcully

Fraps is always handier imo.
Just like the beta the console commands can be buggy,sometimes working sometimes not.

So I had the right command then ? .. I must have entered it about 20 times going " you must have typed it wrong " and " get your glasses old man " .

Reporting back , took Cully's suggestion and downloaded and ran fraps , I was making the mistake of believing the Test Results ingame which was saying that @ Auto which had the settings at medium at best I would have bad FPS . I ran Fraps and it was @ 90 and above , Jaysus I'm 47 and lucky I can see the screen at all how did they make that out to be bad . I put the settings back up to Ultra and it was running @ 40 to 60 @1080p .

I may have been mistaking the stuttering ingame for having the settings to high as opposed to what I hear alot of ppl saying is server lag or < enter something technical here > that I am gone to old to understand .

Can anyone come over and set my video up to record the Diagnosis Murder

dreamers75

Its not stuttering for me it was lag, seems to affect some maps more than others.

Btw did you not see the jet that tried to ram us and hit the telephone pole?

Anyone using the Geforce Experience for their settings?

Getting just over 60fps drops to 40 the odd time and goes to 75 at times too.
Settings are mostly ultra, mesh + terrain: medium. Anti def: off. Anti post: high. Ambient off

Looks like I need 4gb of ram? ? like the bottleneck as its very stuttery on low everything. Doesn't look great either

TerrorFirmer

If thats 4gb of ram, it's enough to play. Few people around the place playing on ultra on 4gb.

As for the stuttering, low performance...welcome to my world of frustration. I'm installing Win8 now in a minute to see.

cherryghost

Did anyone try running the game in x64 yet? You can choose which launcher to use in origin settings

Try turning off anti-aliasing. Radeons don't like that option.

Similar to my spec apart from 1920X1200 and i5 2500K OC to 4.4Ghz
Im running all ultra at that native res ,bottom 3 gfx options on list to off ie AA and HBAO mainly because i dislike what they do to games - makes them blurry.
60-90 fps.

I read somewhere yesterday that isnt true at all, apparently the difference was only in the beta before it was patched.
Dont know how true that is.

No fecking way 8.1 gives 20 extra fps.

Whats the best way to log your fps?
I'm now dual booting with win 7 and 8 so want to compare them.

Latest drivers? I had a similar setup last week and was getting 50-60 on high with SSAO off with little stutter/lag

5uspect

Yeah, tho I believe the stuttering got worse when I ran the dirextX installer from the installation folder, of course that could be just a coincidence.
