Dishonored 2

Seems even at low running at 1080p on a 1080 GTX, the issue is still present. Which is a huge red flag.

I'm moving to San Francisco early next year. I've been wondering what to do with the PC... I think I'm almost certain about selling all of the parts and buying a PS4 along with some other cool tech bits.

Since when has anyone stated it's terrible performance with a 1080?

ZZZZZZZZ
 
Steam forums are brilliant

Sometimes 16gb is not enough anymore for newer game in this year because they need more optimization.So if you want 60 fps on newer game day one you should go for 32gb instead


Hahah proper *****..
 
Hmm, the plot thickens - in the tutorial area at least it runs absolutely rock solid 60fps for me at 1080p Ultra settings - plenty of time for that all to go to **** but not the total disaster I was expecting so far. Looks amazing btw. Running a i5 3570k oc to 4.4, 16gb ddr3 and a 1070
 
Might be some help to some.


Low FPS Fix for Nvidia:

According to a report from Dishonored 2 early players, Arkane Studios failed to optimize the game properly and a result FPS performance is not up to the mark. Thankfully, a small trick has been discovered which drastically improves Dishonored 2 FPS performance on Nvidia cards. Reddit user Snundae reports:

"After using the Nvidia control panel to change the program-specific settings for Dishonored 2, and changing the maximum pre-rendered frames to 1, my FPS is now a constant 60-150FPS"

Many of you might not be aware of the steps to access this "maximum pre-rendered frames" setting. Follow the steps provided below:

Step 1: Go to Nvidia Control Panel
Step 2: Then to Manage 3D Settings
Step 3: Then to Program Settings
Step 4: Select Dishonored 2
Step 5: Select Maximum Pre-rendered Frames

This trick makes the game run smooth even on the roof top parts of Dunwall at a high graphics setting. I used the term "TRICK" to describe this workaround because this was applicable in the Battlefield 1 and Arma 2. This trick reduces CPU load.

Additional setting changes (try these additional changes also along with pre-rendered frames if above thing does not work):

Set Power management mode to prefer maximum power. If you are using Vsync then use Adaptive Vsync and switch off the in-game Vsync. Also, make sure Dishonored 2 is running in the fullscreen mode for this to work. Also, We recommend you to switch off HBAO+ in game setting.
 
Very helpful, thank you. Thankfully I've set these as global settings previously as it's caused issues with other games. I'd suggest everyone to do the same.

As for those without issues, just because you're not having issues, doesn't mean there isn't an issue... Children, honestly.
