The game looks fantastic, however, it suffers from performance issues even on the beastliest of rigs. I went through the advanced graphics options and messed around for a while to see which option(s) caused the most severe impact on performance, and here are my findings.
Test Rig Specs:
4770K @ 4.6GHz
16GB DDR3 @ 2600 MHz
GTX 1080 @ 2050/11000 MHz
Resolution: 2560 x 1440
I set all of the advanced graphics options to Ultra High and maxed out all of the LOD sliders but turned Motion Blur off. My PoV was set to 70. I found a spot in a tavern that caused my FPS to drop to 32, in front of a fire place with lots of effects and shadows. I then started dropping the settings one by one and recorded the results:
Lighting, Shader quality, and Shadows account for the highest percentage of performance loss, so by tweaking those, you can probably get your game running at an optimal level. By simply dropping Lighting and Shadows to Very high (Instead of Ultra High), I managed to get my FPS from 32, to 50 -An increase of 56%-. A small price to pay in graphics quality for such a huge gain in performance.
I hope you guys find this helpful.
