That's an interesting idea about hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Your experience matches mine (very closely actually, but that makes sense since we have the same GPU and the exact same target resolutionAs far as performance goes, I have absolutely butter smooth frametimes, and 100% GPU Utilization, playing at 3440x1440 using the Digital Foundry suggested settings, except Motion Blur off and AA set to Camera Based. V-sync turned off in game, turned on in Nvidia Control Panel.
90+ FPS frequently. I got 98 FPS in the benchmark. For reference I got 79 FPS in the benchmark with Ulitmate Quality preset.
My frametimes as I said are perfect, I do get occasional hitches from moving around the world but it is not frequent, and I do not have any hitches when just standing around.
I believe two things for why I'm having a much smoother experience compared to others.
1. I am using G-sync
2. I have Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling turned on. Before this setting I never got 100% GPU utilization in games, 99% at best.
Hardware Specs:
Windows 10, Version 2004 (Required for Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling)
2080 TI, 1980 Mhz Core, 7500 Mhz Memory, PCIE 3 x16
6700k, 4.6 GHz all cores
16 GB DDR4 3200 CL14
Game Installed on Crucial MX500 1TB SSD
An example of how my frametimes look, I'm honestly really happy with how the game performs on my machine!
).All of that sounds completely placebo, FWIW.
There's a part of me screaming in the void at how unprofessional it is to have such a documented problem and not fix it, neither on the original release, nor on the port when you have the time and opportunity to do so.
.
Even with 8xPCI-E Dictator had 70-80% load on his 2080Ti. Chances are good that even at 8x your 1080Ti will be fully utilized.
yaaaay now go play with the best booSteam :: Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition :: Quick Update regarding Player Reports

They better, with the state the port released in. I don't like how they are downplaying it as "some" when it affects so many people. I think they wouldn't communicate nearly as much without the pressure of Steam's user reviews. After all, they did feel comfortable releasing the game in that state in the first place.
Hmm I never tinkered with my GPU settings, so I wonder what causes my crashes. I'll try these placebo fixes for now, but I hope a patch will fix them. They're irregular and unpredictable, but at least they dont happen all the time...and thank god the game has a robust save system.
Try setting pagefile to 16GB or greater, I haven't crashed lol.
But now the stuttering seems to have transferred to you instead?
My brother wanted to test the game on his PC (family sharing) and I know that he has no GPU or CPU overclock. The game crashes for him too.
You are correct, but directly addressing user concerns and problems is unfortunately not common practice in this industry. Even if they are using PR friendly formulations. Maybe even a bit more noteworthy as this is a console exclusive studio.
You'll need certain items from enemies to buy weapons. There are also five power cells located in the world that you can use to activate a special old world power armor.
yeah I had it in the third, to avoid the GPU being to close to the giant CPU cooler and the SSD... but I plopped it into the first slot, and it seems to have fixed my problems so far. No crashes in my playsession now, but it also wasnt very long. I'll report back when I next get to play for longer.
You should be able to see the available side quests in the area from your map. They're marked as green ! icons.
I tried the HW scheduler on 2080 FE, I did not see any differences in frametimes or framerates, when targeting 1080p and 1440p both.That's an interesting idea about hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Your experience matches mine (very closely actually, but that makes sense since we have the same GPU and the exact same target resolution
That said, it might not have anything to do with GPU scheduling and simply be a result of having a 2080ti...
All of that sounds completely placebo, FWIW.
As I said, for me it was running my GPU at the default power limit and clocks. Might also just be random of course, but as I said I had 2 crashes in one hour prior to doing that and 0 in 5 hours after the change.
How often do you refund? I have managed to get games purchased months ago refunded but I only refund maybe one or two games every couple years.
A couple times I think. I put in to have the issue looked at by an actual person so we'll see how it goes.
It's a completely new area with high level enemies and its own quests. Story wise it is meant to be played close before the end of the game. You won't survive there otherwise anyway.
I only been seeing them as I get closer, this is weird.
six hours in and not a single crash so far. I'm not sure the analysis is correct.
What amount of RAM do you have or what is your pagefile set to? I have 16GB onboard and setting a pagefile of 16GB+ completely got rid of my crashes lol.
I havn't had any crashes with 16GB RAM, but checked my pagefile just in case, in performance options it says "Total paging file size for all drives 3407 MB"
I should really not post that late anymore.
Yes. TBH I think forcing PCI to run at 16x was the real fix for me. But I am done testing, game runs so I will just play lol..
No need, I took it as you had 32GB of onboard RAM. Yea did nothing wrong. Though I did ass/u/me that it was onboard.
