The game is running natively at HIGH settings on a I7 3770 + GTX 970 (see "PC CONFIGURATION" and "GAME SETTINGS" below).

The video shows a sequence that is one of the worst case scenario for performance.
It runs between 45FPS and 74 FPS (45FPS for "large open environments" and 74 FPS for small indoor environments).
We use VK Basalt is to sharpen the image (+/-4% performance hit) : this is not mandatory but gives a better image quality with TAA..


Note that this video is recorded with a cheap USB capture card on external laptop. The video image is not the highest quality but there is minimal to no frame loss during recording.

VKBASALT
config : CAS 0.8
references: https://github.com/DadSchoorse/vkBasalt

The image being calculated in 90% we use VKBASALT to sharpen the overall image using CAS value 0.8 (Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening the equivalent of AMD fidelity FX algorithm).

The game is rendered at 90% means 1024x1821 (1080x1920x0.9 gives 90% of the total pixels, then keeping the aspect ratio constant will get you a resolution of 1024x1821)
