Just a gut feeling, but 1440p working fine for you might have something to do with that top-of-the-line i7 and Titan X in your sig:p

True but I get around the same frames in this and the Witcher3. If you don't have the power to run the game well that's one thing but I thought you guys were talking like there was something wrong with the game @1440
 
Well I think its finally time to upgrade the PC...

Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4130 Black Edition 3.80GHz
XFX 7850
16 gig Ram

After putting latest beta drivers on, disabling steam overlay and playing on offline mode its almost playable, low settings, pretty much everything turned off, even with the setting on higher its almost playable but still get same problems, massive drops in FPS at random points :(

Would a half decent graphics card get this slightly more playable?

I've been playing Stuff like Fallout 4 on medium to high settings with no issues, was surprised just how much this game needs!! does look beautiful though!

would i see much of a upgrade from something like this?

Between being on a budget and having no idea what is up-to-date and whats out of date these days.... (Silly decision to have children)

The Gtx 750 isn't any quicker than your current card, so not worth it.

Your best bet might be a 2nd hand 7970 from the members market, but there seems to be an issue with random stutter & AMD cards in this game so it might not solve your problem in JC3 but it should improve anything else you play.

Only thing is your CPU might bottleneck the 7970 a bit.

I'd ask in the graphics card forum to get a better idea.

Well, that's what I've been wondering about because games like Witcher 3, AC Syndicate and GTA V are easily playable for me at 1440p using very decent settings (GTA pushed almost to the max and with .ini tweaks, W3 using a combination of ultra/very high and shadows on low since it doesn't make a difference + SweetFX). In this game, vsync is going crazy and I get frequent drops with not much happening on the screen and I'm not even maxing the game. Sometimes it works good and frames hover around 55-60, and 45-50 during explosions but it feels smooth. Most of the time, though, the game just decides that it prefers to drop into 30s.

All that on a 4790k + GTX 970@1500mhz, so a pretty decent rig. Not immensely powerful but should be well enough for reasonable fps, given that the game's main visual strenghts lie in its artstyle/setting/colours and not technical prowess.
 
Anyone know how you can you start this game in offline mode from steam? Do you have to just go offline fully with steam or is there a way of launching the game only in offline mode?

Yeah, I don't get any drops like that. Maybe it's a VRAM thing

I'm at 1200p and with a 3GB 780 hitting 2.9GB usage I don't see any negative effects, I posted my results in a previous page but I regularly sit at 80-90FPS with drops to the low 60s when the whole screen is blowing up!

I think Amatsubu has another issue somewhere, 1440p can't be THAT much more taxing than 1200p surely?
 
Got all 6 tethers and one tether strength upgrade, not impressed though. It still pulls vehicles slowly, does maxing the tether strength improve that at all..?

Yup, vram has nothing to do with it. Klunt doesn't experience any drops because his card is twice as powerful as mine.

1440p can be REALLY demanding, that depends on a number of factors. I just thought my oc'd 970 will be able to cope decently judging by its performance in other very good looking games, so it's either that:

a)the game is simply that demanding
b)there's an issue on my end
c)the game has bugs or optimisation problems, doesn't play well with my hardware or has a massive memory leak (I only have 8gb of ram)

Nothing else springs to mind.:confused:

I can max it no problem at 1080p, though. The thing is, it looks like **** at that res:p

BTW, what are your settings?
 
Yay! I'm getting used to 30fps:p Half-refresh rate vsync + motion blur & everything maxed:D Console-like experience with no dips and better graphics:D Sucks but I guess it's better than dropping from 60 to 30-45 all the time or running at non-native res.
