Runs pretty poorly as widely covered. The old 5800X and 3080 does okay in the open world with RT off, 4K DLSS performance. Capped at 60fps with g-sync to smooth it out. I just reached the fabled stutter town and it is indeed a mess that not even VRR can do anything to help.

All the tech issues aside, I'm still really enjoying the game.

The 'old' 5800X and 3080... I have 5800 and 3080 and still consider this stuff top tier (to persuade myself not to upgrade ;))!

What kind of FPS would you get 1440p quality/balalnced DLSS? I assume similar to 4k performance? What was your FPS like in open world and town?

Debating whether i want to dive into this.

I saw the comment above on Janky AA game above. Basically describes DG1 and I see it as a compliment... many AAA games (not all) these days seem to be insistent on icons/hand holding and gameplay that is so 'smoothed out' it could play itself at times. I love the old school approach this game takes. Same with first one even though I didn't get far in it, but maybe I'll just dive back into that while waiting for this one to improve.

Though not keeping my hopes up if its CPU limited as unless they do some pretty big overhauls (particularly on NPCs in towns) then it won't really change much
 
I’m enjoying the gameplay and open world nature. I can overlook the average graphics and slightly janky combat. It just shows that many times for me games end up more than the sum of their parts.

I’m getting a very Gothic vibe from it.
 
Made it to the capital, performance wasn't too bad for me in all honesty, still hovered around 60 with slight momentary stutters into the 40s/50s. Though I only went around the main merchant area so perhaps I wasn't seeing the worst areas?
 
I'm 7 hours into it and enjoying it, wasn't sure if I'd like it so pleased that I do :)

I'm not sure what the fuss is about with micotransactions, most of it is misinformation, people crying that they have to pay to change their character which they don't - you can do it in th very first village if you have the coin and by the time you get to the main city you will certainly have more than enough coin. It's not pay to win either as some people seem to think, there's nothing you have to buy unless you want to.

I totally get the lack of fast travel, it adds so much to the game, I wondered off on a quest and got sidetracked, before I know it it's night there's ambushes, attacks by crazy flying things, it was pretty tense worrying if I'd actually make it back. None of that would have happened if I just fast travelled. Think of WOW before flying mount were introduced, the experience was much better before when you had to explore more or fight your way (on PvP servers) to locations.

I'm running a 4090 and 7800X3D and it runs fine, but in the main city I have now (just) seen drops to around 75/80 fps, before that I had not seen anything below 120+ with everything on high. At night the lighting and visuals actually look really good.

If I had to complain about anything it's the fact that it's not easy to start a new game, I put it on this morning just to try and skipped most stuff thinking I'd play it properly later with a fresh start... no option for that so had to manually delete save while toggling the cloud updates. Took 2 minutes but still a pain and should be in the options.

Looks like they're (probably?) adding an option to start with a new character:

Anyone know if you need to empty a hired pawns inventory before you dismiss them ? Or do the items get sent to storage at an inn ?

**Never mind they do get sent to storage**

In town it's all CPU limited so 1440p and 4k perform the same and hang in the 40s and 50s and can dip to the 30s when running around and moving the camera.

4k/perf and 1440p/quality are about the same in the open world and balanced adds a few frames. That usually being 50-60fps. I just cap it at 60 but if there's less going on like in a cavern it can reach the 80s. Max shadows gets rid of weird wiggly tree shadows but it's a bit much for the 3080 in some areas so I have it on high.

Hmm.. forgot I turned ray tracing on earlier in the day so those numbers are with it on. Whoops.

Most of WABs videos are drivel of an old man shouting at clouds

I still watch most cause watching him get angry is funny

But I know not to take anything he says seriously; he is not a good source of whether a game is good or not

Lol, I still remember that initial review of Elden Ring that he did where he never even made it past the tutorial bit and then gave it 0/10 :D
 
So is the current new story that fast travel is a paid for option false? I saw a thread on readdit about it and most people's response was "did you not play the last game" as if paying to fast travel was a series staple?

Yes, fast travel is not only a paid for option, if you cant be bothered to play the game and get stuff as you play then you can pay for them but you dont have to pay in order to fast travel, but that truth doesnt fit the Must Outrage narrative :D

Lol, I knew he wouldnt mention that the mtx stuff is available ingame (hell you get two wakestones in like the first 20mins), in fact he even says "these things should be available in the game" when talking about the mtx.

They are Mack ...they are.
