Well that's disappointing. Not surprising at this point, but still.
How do people tell the difference between a game that's poorly optimized and a well optimized game that just scales to levels that current cards can't keep up with?
I don't find "can't max this game at absolutely highest settings at 1440p" to be a controversial statement given how the game looks.

Stop flaunting your ignorance. Despite the lack of texture resolution, this is a visually complex and demanding game. High preset will give you 60 fps, highest settings will not.
I've seen how the game looks lol, maybe you are the one who didn't click the screens and saw those terrible textures. That's not scalability, there are way more graphical demanding games right now that perform much better.
Do you really believe that this looks better than Assissin's Creed Origins? Cause that's similar to how that game performs, while looking much worse.
I'm not gonna comment on optimization, but I'm not sure the game's performance is good considering how it looks, taking into consideration that it's looking like it may have a similar or worse level of performance than Assassin's Creed Origins and Final Fantasy XV.
Yeah definitely not worth the huge performance hit, in fact the game looks much better without the weird blue tint an effect they could have done for almost free with a simple shader btw.
Are you saying graphical fidelity is the only thing that'd cause a bottleneck in a game's performance?
These games are like apples and bananas in terms of game engines and rendering tech. Have you even played MHW? I think MHW is the better looking game in terms of geometric detail, animation and lighting.
Damn, that's the one thing I was looking forward to. Well, due to my hardware, I might as well keep my 144hz display aside in case there's a fix since I probably won't go over 75hz often anyway on this game. (FreeSync user)
I'd rather have 21:9. Maybe fixes for games using the same engine might work if they exist.
what is this? a 1070ti 8700k cant run the game at 60fps 1440? wtf is this. Game is not even a looker.
I personally think there's a huge over reaction to this. It's a single setting that honestly I've been told by multiple friends agree that the game looks better with it off, and they have a 1080 and 1080Ti respectively. It just adds a weird blue tint to your screen that can literally be done with ReShade at no performance cost. The PS4 and Xbox versions of the game probably don't even have this setting enabled at all. Turn it off and you'll be floating around the 70's on max settings at 1440p, assuming the 1070Ti is pretty close to the vanilla 1080.
Judging by the screenshots provided I think they do, and that would explain the complaints that the game lacks contrast (especially in the day since the value of those volumes is white). However I think it's too early to tell if the effect always looks bad, we need to see it in other locations to tell. Based off of the screenshots provided though it does seem like a ridiculous performance cost for what could have been done using other means a lot more cheaply performance-wise.
While I expected a bit more out of the PC port, I'll be happy to play without frame pacing issues or frame rate variations. So long as the LOD is improved, and animals animate properly in the distance, I'll be happy.
Edit: And while those performance numbers may be concerning, there's still hope for a NV driver to help out.

Lost Planet on pc still a king, speaking about quality of this port (something-something parity with consoles)
Super happy to hear it supports frame rates higher than 60! Been wanting to know this for awhile now. I'll be turning that blue tint setting off, it looks worse IMO and robs so much performance. Wish we could get a benchmark or demo I'd love to see it in action before the 9th.
1070 or 1070ti isn't much weaker than a 1080, right? Turn off "Volume Rendering Quality" and I imagine average framerate should definitely hit above 60.
Not sure what you mean by unstable, but I can say that frame pacing feels very good no matter the settings.
And turn off "Volume Rendering Quality" and then the average FPS will skyrocket even with everything else at highest setting.
I'm starting to regret posting those framerate examples. Those framerates are not average framerates, they're the framerate when looking at one of the most complex scenes in the hub (it just happened to be the spawn position when I loaded the hub after restarting the game).
yea at least the ti version is pretty much on par with the 1080, I think it's like 5% fps difference in games. I hope you are right, I can live without the piss filter.
There are mods for other MT Framework games which makes it work as expected for 21:9, so this might be possible for MHW as well.
I should have clarified that unlike the other person you quoted I plan on playing at 1080p. Guess I should be fine then, thanks.
Min framerate are way more useful for me than average, so you did the correct thing. In PS4 some late game monsters tanks the framerate heavily.
I was actually going to suggest one that I've seen work for Resident Evil 6, but I'm not sure if you would be allowed to since it's a review copy, plus the denuvo protection. I don't know how it acts since it's technically "anti-tamper", but I wouldn't want to risk anything especially since I plan to put so much time into the game.

If you find detailed information about how someone implemented this, then you can go ahead and link it to me. I'd have to check in with a Capcom rep to ask if I'm allowed to mod the game and post about it, but at the very least I can fiddle with this once the game is fully out.
I've modded games in the past with Denuvo and it didn't actually impact modding whatsoever. I assume and hope it's the same with MHW.
Some 3840x2160 screenshots showcasing the difference between some graphics settings with some performance stats (I didn't take these myself, someone else with a review copy sent them to me. You can tell I didn't take these screenshots as I'd never name my kitty companion Qwerty):
All settings high, with Volume Rendering Quality: (60fps)

All settings high, without Volume Rendering Quality: (67 fps)

All settings high, with Volume Rendering Quality, Resolution scaling set to Low: (80 fps)

You can see performance stats bottom-right on the screenshots. Hardware used was a Core i7 7700K @4.4GHz with a 1080ti.

In this thread:
People complaining about highest settings without knowing what said settings does.

That's what I thought the first 15 minutes I played on my PS4 Pro, then it never bothered me again for hundreds of hours. There's a wealth of different assets in this game, at all times. I bet it would blow the memory budget of all but the craziest cards out there if everything had highres textures. Overall it's a great looking game when you're playing and not pushing the camera into the nearest texture.
Looks like I average around 75 FPS during missions with my computer (1080 GTX at 2560x1440).
Texture quality hasn't bothered me at all so far. I can tell it's lower than some other PC games, but I definitely wouldn't call it bad.
It's probably because people have seen how this game looks that they're saying that.
The game has been out since a while, and the new screenshots shared here show the lack of noticeable improvements.
Interesting. On highest as well?
Sounds like just the hub is unoptimized then, since it's not pushing much more details. Guess it'll get some performance patches after launch anyway.
As said before, no real reason to get it at launch considering it's not at content parity and graphical updates have been teased already.
Yeah, it's really not too bad overall. Just some stand out ugly bits here and there. Like I said, it's completely irrelevant to the experience when you're playing :)
This is great news for me if it's getting that at highest settings
Everything is highest except for Volume Rendering Quality which I've got turned off.
Based on the IGN stream, 980 has drops below 60 at 1080p on medium, though that's including the volumetric rendering option, which is reportedly very demanding.
During the IGN Stream they went to mid Settings with no dynamic resolution on a GTX980 but it couldn't hold 60fps in the jungle.
Dropped to around 50-55fps a few times.
Dunno if they had Volume Rendering turned on in that preset
