They don't, no. For what it's worth though, both Valhalla and Legion look great and play pretty well at 30 fps.

I don't believe it unlocks for another 5 hours. Could be wrong, though.
No but PC folks are using the VPN trick to play now in the US
Everything seems too dark. Even when the sun is out walking over a snowfield everything seems like half the brightness it should be.
Also, there are some really suspect "dark areas" like in the woman's hut in the beginning quest. Everything has a really dirty reddish look that almost feels like it is rendering in 8 bit color.
Seems to only happen if you VPN and then go offline while you play.
Made a quick video to display 3440x1440. Medium settings work pretty well I think. Video is still processing the HD
For some reason HDR looks better if you enable it in windows and do not enable it ingame. Use the adjustments for luminance and exposure but do not enable HDR in the game.
It seems broken. Whereas you could turn HDR on in Odyssey and it would flip and turn on in the game as well, that doesn't happen here. HDR on just changes the color space or something.
It is borked.
Ugh it is so frustrating. Why are devs constantly screwing up PC HDR when the can get it right on the same game on a console.
Anyway to turn off antialiasing through an initial file?
The game is blurry as fuck even native 4k and sharpen up to 100 in Nvidia control panel.

Anyone have any luck unlocking this early through Epic Games store yet? been trying since yesterday to no avail.
Made sure that game actually renders at 100% of the resolution?
For me it defaulted to 80% @ 3440 x 1440.
Should I have listened to the benchmarks when it said I could get 60fps on very high/ultra settings on my 1080? Screen tearing aside (don't know why it didn't have vsync on by default), the benchmark jumped from 45-60 for the duration before it ended and said 118 was my high and 60 was my minimum. Playing at 1080p.
It looks correct actually. I've seen blown out fake SDR before. It actually looks like the correct HDR, especially with light through the leaves, like in Odyssey.
With HDR enabled in both windows and in-game, the HDR is way too dark. With HDr no enabled in windows and turned on ingame, it doesn't toggle HDR to actually turn on.
Yea it is 100% alright and looks so blurry.
Compared to Horizon Zero Dawn this game looks so much worse and runs like an asshole.
It looks super dark when enabled in windows and in-game.
Subjective things and all, but for me that is very hard disagree.
When it comes to blurriness not sure what is going on. Little I played yesterday at lower res (3440 x 1440) game was sharp.
Horizon has much better HDR implememtation and more impressive graphics, and it is almost 4 years old. It runs at 90+ fps on my 3090.
This runs at 45 to 65 with settings turned down.
I'm not impressed.
Quite frankly, both Origins and Odyssey look and run better. I just don't see where the performance hogging is coming from in this game.
Volumetric clouds and shadows, drop those to around High.
AMD paid for this game so no NV goodies (DLSS) here.
Still in Norway but actually completely pleased with the performance with a 2080 Ti. Getting a locked 60 at 4K (80% resolution), Very HIgh settings, with dynamic resolution enabled. With 100% resolution enabled instead I was averaging 55 fps but was seeing some heavier dips here and there.
Beginning of the game left a horrible first impression though- a huge chunk of the opening sequence is a somewhat seamlessly inserted video file and I was getting massive stuttering while playing the video. I didn't realize it was a video at first and thought that was going to be indicative of performance.

Man with next gen console versions offering a 60fps mode really makes me wonder if I should even bother with ubisoft games on pc even more even after I just got my 3080.
Bummer no dlss. Is 4k 60 feasible in anyway with a 3080 and 8700k?

PC specs:
i7 9700K @ stock
EVGA 2070 XC Gaming (non super) @ stock. Running 457.30 drivers that came out today.
27" 1440p LG 27GL850, game is running in borderless windowed mode - not fullscreen. When I tried fullscreen and re-ran the benchmark, it didn't really change the results that much.
Everything is at max settings aside from depth of field (which I disable not out of perf concern but due to personal preference) and volumetric clouds set to Very High instead of Ultra High, 100% resolution ratio.
Benchmark average FPS is 53. Min 31, max 105. Lowest 1% is 41. Seeing some hitching but the CPU latency suggests it's CPU hitching and seems to have gone away after I've ran the benchmark a few times.
I could probably crank up the power % target on my card and net a few more frames. Hoping the game runs as smooth as the benchmark does. I'm not too concerned about needing perfect 60fps all the time, though. Bummed at no DLSS. Thanks AMD.

Turn off hybrid in control settings. Do note that this will disable keyboard input while using controller though.
You'll play most games fine at 1440p well over 60hz. Ubisoft games, especially the Asscreed/Watch Dogs-games, are notorious for running badly.
Not even getting close to that performance on my 2080 TI around settlements. Out in the wild yes, but in settlements my FPS can drop into the 40's when I switch to 1440P. (shadows and vol clouds set down to high)

Something is wrong with the engine, it doesn't like running unlocked. I get smooth sailing when I lock the game with RTSS to sixty.
But when I unlock it again to let G-Sync do its thing I get terrible micro stutters (not everywhere but too often for a good experience).
I've also tried out 4k, ultra on my system in combination with the adaptive AA setting. 50-60fps, without stutters! It's actually quiet playable and I don't notice the drops in resolution... That wouldn't be too bad of an experience.

struggling to get 60 fps it's dipping between 50-80, also what's with my cpu utilization?
Do you think next gen versions look and play better. Anyone had a chance in comparing them? Sorry if this is off topic.
Just maxed everything at 4K and locked it to 30fps. It looks great! Really love the snow, can't wait to dive in for 200 hours.
Than the PC version? I doubt it. Probably better HDR, but even on Series X it'll be a dynamic res and some of the visual suite probably won't be utilized as high as PC. I think most of those preview builds were all the PC version?
