Vulkan = higher average performance
DX 12 = stable frame-times
Choose your poison.
Turned HDR on once the game loaded and it looks broken. Peak brightness works but the rest of the screen is very dark.
I have it off epic, no problem playing the game . It makes me launch from rockstar so I'm not sure if there would be a difference.
My problem is the fn mouse curser keeps popping up in the middle of the screen. I'd hate to refund a game over something so minute, but I can't take it.
Have you tried whitelisting the game in your antivirus? I had the same crashing during the opening logo videos and this fixed it for me
Ultra under advanced settings destroys fps. Slide them suckers left to high. Also 1080p is the new King.
I'm generally happy with the performance. On a GTX 1070/8700k at 1080p and hovering around 55-65 fps with a mix of high/medium. Game still looks pretty good too at those settings IMO. I will also say that I haven't run into any stuttering/pauses or game launch issues like some other people so far.
Running a mix of High and Ultra at 2560x1080, Vulkan gives me 57fps and DX12 56fps but Vulkan has terrible frame pacing that makes it look sub-30fps. DX12 has really long loads inbetween the benchmark scenes (10+ seconds) for some reason though, whereas Vulkan is a brief black screen (1-2 seconds) and then loads right up.
Is Vulkan only viable on certain setups, cause I'm getting like 50 - 60% of the performance I get on DX12 when I switch over. It's especially noticeable in the swamp section of the benchmark. The performance in that scene is literally halved on Vulkan.
Got a link? I'm not terribly impressed and I'm saddened by the state of the game.
Looking now, this https://support.rockstargames.com/a...or-purchases-from-the-Rockstar-Games-Launcher takes you to the store for clothing and I cant see where I can refund the game
I'm reading some impressions from Polish players and I'm astounded. Game looks horrible.
High settings / 1080P / 4790K + RTX 2060
I'm glad I didn't preorder it.
that's rdr online, of course it cant be as high fidelity as the single player ... seriously
Don't think we can
" No Digital Game or bundle purchases will be refunded if (a) the transaction included physical goods, virtual Currency, virtual goods or any other non-refundable item or (b) there is more than two hours of playtime collectively associated with the games in the transaction (including free or bonus games). "
Wouldn't the pre-order bonuses count as this?
medium most likely. keep in mind its not even a 30 fps lock everywhere on ps4 pro, might be different on the 1X
X1X is locked 30 fps at 4k and it's basically a RX 570/580, this sounds extremely bad in comparison

there is no way that is actually high preset. Maybe it's not applied properly or bugged. The X version looks miles above that, and yes I mean the online portion as well.
We don't know yet at what settings the X1X version runs at.
I7 4790K
GTX 1080
16GB RAM
Im running @1080p and game is real purdy. All settings on high, except for lighting here and there ive chosen ultra. Benchmark gives me 55fps avg. That is good enough for me. No one is gona run this 4K60 all settings maxed. Wait for next gen cards! Though as ive said high settings look great :)
i5 8500 here, gtx 1060, decrypting, will return with feedback, im shitless scared its gonna run like crap
As did I. I really hope they don't deny this, the game is unplayable for me and that's crap. Between the crashing, the issues trying to set the options and the game refuses to run. If they refuse, I'll have the bank deal with it.
This is why I don't pre order games and tbh until patched it sounds like the X version will do.
Try logging fully out of the rockstar launcher and then back in. Worked for me.
Okay, I'll leave the game be for today. I hope it'll fix itself I guess.
I can't see how that would apply; if you pre-ordered the game there was no option to NOT get that stuff.
I'm shooting this in for a refund as well. I'm only rocking a 1060 3GB with an i5-8440 and 16GB ram and not really seeing much of a difference between this and the PS4 version, at 1080P.
I just put in a refund request to epic. I really can't deal with it.
That's really something lol
Could you take some pics? I want to know how the graphics are when everything is low.
I don't have anything to compare this with as I don't know how RDR2/RDO looks on consoles
but this is everything on Ultra
but this is everything on Ultra
Sorry for your misery, but you are making me feel better about holding off to the December Steam launch. I hope they patch some of these issues.

When I saw that I first thought "Goddam how'd you get to blackwater so fast...?"
That's Red Dead Online, although I'm surprised because RD Online has had very good visual quality, at least way closer to the single player, when compared to GTA V and GTA Online. GTA Online was a serious downgrade from GTA V, but I've thought Red Dead Online has been pretty close.
But yeah, I suspect this is going to be one of the best looking games of all time (as it is on consoles) so I think it'd be tough judging by a handful of very early screenshots from Red Dead Online.
