Hello there,

IIRC when this game was initially launched there were performance issues regarding graphics cards with AMD GPUs. Is this still the case?

I run a 3 GiB R9 280, formerly known as HD 7950 OC, on a Phenom II X6 1055T @3,5 GHz with 8 GiB of RAM. I like 60 beautifully renderes frames per second like the next guy, but I can live with 40 just fine in most first-person action games. Will I have to make big compromises graphics-wise when playing in 1920x1080? Furthermore, how extensive are the graphical options in the game's menu and/or .cfg/.ini?

For example I don't like the extreme depth-of-field effect I've seen when trying the game at a buddy's machine, I don't like DOF, blurring and lense flares at all, so being able to turn off such things will be no compromise but a desirable option for me. Also I can play without Anti-Aliasing but hate tearing, so is it possible to play in borderless windowed mode?

On behalf of myself and anyone having similar questions thank you in advance for any helpful answer.

I run it at 30-60 fps in outside areas, and it mostly stays at 60 fps in interior areas. I've got my settings set to high/medium, and I think I had foliage quality and view distance set to low. Anti-aliasing is also on. have not tested other settings much, but this is a good mix between performance and graphics quality. I'm not home right now, but when I get back I can take a screenshot of the settings-menu to show you what settings are available. I can do some benchmarking as well :)

CPU: AMD A8-5600K 3,6 Ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7850 1GB
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
Resolution: 1680x1050

It runs very good. IMO the game is very well optimized for such great graphics quality. (ADM Radeon R9 280 here).

50-130FPS on 1080p 290x @ 1250MHz:1600MHz everything maxed (depth of field disabled - as i don't like it)

i7 4930k 4.2GHz
32GB DDR3 1600

(there's occasional dips with some strange/odd shadow areas)

try disabling nvidia stuff will grant you smooth fps... on lower end gpu's.

I did a benchmark. One minute of normal gameplay. Here's the results:

Minimum fps: 30
Maximum fps: 65
Average fps: 54

And here's a screenshot with all the settings. I did some cut and paste to get the whole list in one image. Motion blur and depth of field can be turned off. I don't think you can disable lens flare though.

Thank y'all very much.
