I'd like in the coming weeks for DF or another outlet to list the equivalent settings to match that of PS4, I'll set it to that except with hopefully native 4k and higher than 30fps and be pretty happy. It blew me away on PS4

I got it in the end, cheaper fortunately, I will try to match decent settings to get around 60fps at 1440p (if it even runs). If I get that, I'm selling my PS4 copy or exchanging for Death Stranding.

PS4 Pro was mind-blowing for the hardware.

Worst comes to worst, I'll be in for an overdue GPU upgrade

Does HDR need to be on in windows ?
Because allowed me to adjust in game without it being switched on

No does not need to be on in windows, the game turns it on. It is broken though, dark and washed out.

Should be able to match the ps4 easily, I own all 3 versions and the PS4 was the worst looking version.

Sorry for stupid question but what exactly does resolution scaling setting do

I use it to game in 1440p on my 4K monitor

keeps everything native whilst lowering the workload.

I use it to game around 1440p on my 4K monitor

70% scaling in wildlands and Assetto Corsa Competizione is near enough to 1440 and looks a lot better than fixed 1440

keeps everything native whilst lowering the workload.

Ah that would be useful, does it make the game blurry like when you don't use your monitors native resolution ?

Nope, IMO the image quality is better because I can raise more settings and still get better performance.

What would you set this to if you wanted 1080p on a 4k screen? Better still if running at 1440p what did you set yours to? Cheers

Just got the white Arabian horse, pressed the wrong button trying to get the saddle off other horse and it made camp, now white Arabian is gone! Hate auto save, might have to restart game to get it back!

How to get the FPS counter in game? Cant see an option in the settings.

There's going to be a lot of angry gamers right now, RS are supposedly refusing refunds if you bought direct with them as you got digital currency as part of a pre order

For me, day two is too early for me to refund anyway, I always give it a little more time than that, hell I even gave No Mans Sky and Battlefront 2 more time than that and those were two of the worst I had played on day one.

Tombstone · 6 Nov 2019 at 16:49

Its a shame there isnt a chat window when playing the poker in the saloons, would be nice to be able to chat to the other players (I'm assuming these other players are human rather than AI)

Can't disagree but my interest in the game has completely died, I own the game on 1X already and played all the way through so if I get desperate to play ill just fire it up over there. This has left a real sour taste in my mouth as far as Rockstar receiving more money off me is concerned.

Principal of it more than anything, a PP dispute has gone in and I'll be getting my money back, gold bars or not.

something daft already!! · 6 Nov 2019 at 16:52

I'm tempted by this but the price is very silly. I might wait a bit.

Ahh, well yes in that case , as you've already played it before anyway, it makes sense.

Don't need chat windows when you can just get up and shoot them

Glad I didn't buy the game looking at the performance related posts. I'll stick to my PS4 Pro and maybe do a purchase in future when I rebuild my rig.

EVGA 2080 ti XC Ultra - OC'd core to 2,100 mhz, memory at 8,000 mhz
Asus Zonar STX ii Sound Card
1TB Samsung 970 Evo m.2 SSD (I've other normal SSD's, no mechanicals, but the game is installed on the m.2)

Here are my options and results:
