Why can I hardly run this game?

General Draw Quality at 8 means the engine will render the frames at your screen resolution ie 1920x1080, with it set to 9 it renders the frames at 1.5 your resolution so 2880x1620 and that is a lot to ask of a 550 TI.

So, turn it down GDQ to 8 and you should be fine.

Edit: never mind, was not the OP and I am too tired, good night all.

The reason you're having trouble is obvious: replacement refs.

General Drawing is too high. Run it at -8 and you should see a huge dif in FPS.

I started this game with a similar set up and it ran pretty good at "Standard" and decent enough maxing it out without AC and DoF checked.

My PC went from being able to run it at max, to barely running it at high.

Like my FPS dropped to 10 at high (from 60+ consistently at max).

I swear to god this game.

yeah, 1.15 or 1.16 actually made the game worse FPS wise but increased overall UI responsiveness.

Yeah :/ Kinda disappointed seeing as I haven't had to drop settings at all since I made my new PC.

I guess that's out of the window though. I was honestly considering not logging in again, and just waiting for 2.0, but I want to see what happens at the end.
