For playing in 4K, the High settings work the best, with a 980 Ti. You can actually use Ultra settings for everything except Textures, and the game would be "playable" to a fair amount of people, but the High settings is a smoother experience.

Recorded with Nvidia's DSR. Performance is 4K, but the video will play in 1080p for you. An interesting note on that... This game really does not like DSR. It "works," but the game is loathe to "admit" it's in 4K, and you have to know what to look for to realize it's actually playing in 4K. That's why at the end of the video, when I show the settings, the game doesn't explicitly say it's in 4K. One way to know it's in 4K, however, is to see how many graphics options fit on the screen at once. In 1080p, very few graphics settings fit on the screen, and you have to keep scrolling to see them. In 4K, almost all of the graphics settings are shown at the same time, negating the need to scroll down, through them.

I plan to do more videos, showing the game in 4K, but I've been saving up "cooler" moments in the game to do so. I can't seem to find a way to replay missions, in this game, and there is only one save file that I've been able to find, so it's a process to pick and record the "cooler" moments.

A note on the quality of game play: Some games are harder to control, in DSR, than they are on a Native monitor. This seems to be one of those games. Playing this game at native resolution is easier than what I ended up doing in this video. With that said, I'm not a fan of the controls, in this game, even when playing in native resolution, and I'm not the greatest Mirror's Edge player, either. Couple that with the fact that you can't replay a mission after you finish it, and you end up with game play that I'm not overly proud of. It wasn't the worst in the world, but I usually try to post better performances than this. Cheers.
