Notes:
- All graphics settings at maximum, except for Water Physics Quality (3/4) and Reflection MSAA (Off).
- 16x Anisotropic Filtering through Nvidia Control Panel
- 15% sharpening through Nvidia Control Panel, 17% ignore film grain
- FPS in the opening snow area was mostly around 50-60+ FPS
- FPS in the grassy and forested areas seen after the opening was around 45-60+ FPS
- Reflection Quality is very demanding: Ultra to High can give a 5-10 FPS increase
- Reflection MSAA can also be demanding, depending on location and time of day
- Water Physics Quality is extremely demanding: Ultra (4 bars) to High (3 bars) can give 15-20 FPS increase
- From what I've experienced briefly, the FPS with DX12 can feel choppy in certain areas at specific times of day (e.g. Valentine, in front of saloon at night). Please refer to reputable performance guides for more information and do some testing with your own system to determine what suits you best.
- No crashes with Vulkan so far, even after playing for 2-3 hours at a time.
- Spotted a few visual bugs (e.g. Seamus' floating candle)
