Dayum, it's heavy af on PC as well.

Seems very CPU bound. Any #s with a 7800X3D yet?

Looks very CPU-bound, explains the console 30 fps.

[FoxMcChief]

Cinematic effect. Human eyeball can really only see 20 fps. Don’t quote me on that.

 

[Draugoth]

Thread updated.

And fuck i will be barely be able to run this

Which reviews?

Gamespot included that in one of the only 2 bullet points for "The Bad" part. "Optimization is poor on PC"

The most noticeable misstep derives from Dragon's Dogma 2's performance on PC. My current rig exceeds the recommended specifications (aside from the CPU), and the game generally runs at around 60fps using the game's "High" preset. Sometimes it dips into the 40s and drops even lower inside villages and cities, but it's certainly playable, if a little unstable. The problem is that this performance is consistent across all visual settings, which leads me to believe it's a matter of poor optimization. I could've used the performance bump from lowering shadow quality and the like, but doing so has no effect. Ideally, this will be rectified with a day-one patch and driver updates, but it's not ideal at the time of writing.

Who knows...maybe that day one patch does some work

Just turn on motion interpolation on your tvs to go from 30 to 60fps on both console and PC.

You're welcome.

 

[Luigi Mario]

It's going to run like ass across the board. Games like this aren't solved by Pro consoles or Master Race PCs

Ass is Ass, my friend. And it will always be Ass. You can't brute force your way out of it

Dayum, it's heavy af on PC as well.

Those are mid specs running at 1440p. A 7800X3D + 4090 will fare way better, even at a higher resolution.

 

[Little Chicken]

Oh I guess I'm buying it then

 

[Portugeezer]

And there we have it. Preorder in.

 

[FunkMiller]

Well, shit. This or Rebirth first?

 

[ssringo]

i knew it , hey PCMR............

My god is not afraid to click left on the settings to reach desired performance.

Hmm according to that they exceeded the recommended specs EXCEPT CPU. Above benchmarks show it’s very CPU limited, so hopefully a better CPU will negate some of the spotty performance.

need to see console reviews first too

Welp... Ryzen 7 5800X3D + RTX 3090. This doesn't bode well

IGN that opener

"...more of a redo than a sequel."

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

May your framerates be low and your temperatures high

 

[ZiriusOne]

These reviews.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It looks like DLSS/FSR won't save the game's perf on PC neither.

 

[Sleepwalker]

IGN that opener

"...more of a redo than a sequel."

As someone who didnt play the first im okay with this.

My PC will definitely give me better performance than the PS but I want the damn disc lol

 

[Topher]

It looks like DLSS/FSR won't save the game's perf on PC neither.

That looks like upscaling is entirely broken

 

[Dynasty8]

You seem upset, go hug your PS5.

 

[Spyxos]

It looks like DLSS/FSR won't save the game's perf on PC neither.

The game doesn't even look good, coming in hot.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Looking like a perfect game to wait for a few optimization patches. There is already so much to play right now. Definitely has me intrigued, but see no need to rush in.

 

[Raven117]

Excellent! Glad to see this looking good.

 

[Skifi28]

If my 4070 runs it at 30fps with lows in the 20s, might as well just grab the ps5 version. I don't even have that great of a cpu.

 

[CLW]

Seems very CPU bound. Any #s with a 7800X3D yet?

Yep trying to decide between ps5 and a 7800x3d 7900xtx

 

[Chuck Berry]

"You’ll be doing lots of backtracking and exploring on foot, as there’s very little in the way of convenient fast traveling."

God Im so sick of this shit. What year are we in? This is exactly what turned me off of the first game.

 

[amigastar]

Does anyone know if Dualsense is supported on PC?
Probably not as usual.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

That looks like upscaling is entirely broken

Yeah, it's not looking good at all. Just hope they'll manage to 'fix it' with some day 1 patches or something though that's probably unlikely to happen.

 

[Bernardougf]

Hoping for 60 fps on the ps5 pro.. if not I'll play it on the Ps6 or a new Pc next gen.

 

[Kacho]

Day 1 performance patch. #Believe

Dragon's Dogma 2 performance analysis: It'll take everything your PC has and still want more

I hope you have a top-end CPU and GPU because you're really going to need them.

www.pcgamer.com

WTF, dudes? I can't even imagine how horrible performance will be on my 8700K

If my 4070 runs it at 30fps with lows in the 20s, might as well just grab the ps5 version. I don't even have that great of a cpu.

Consoles have way worse CPUs along with performance problems.

yeea i thinh there is no way this will run on steam deck

 

[ManaByte]

Hoping for 60 fps on the ps5 pro.. if not I'll play it on the Ps6 or a new Pc next gen.

It’s CPU bound. Won’t hit 60 on the Zen2. Maybe 40 with improved VRR.

 

[LordCBH]

This has been an incredible year for games and it’s only fucking March.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Deck + moonlight

Or

Ps5 + portal

 

[balls of snow]

Watching ign review, its like Elden Ring but with more dynamic enemy encounters. Need to see how Ronin reviews to seee which I start with first.

 

[ANDS]

Good funking gods, they managed to get FSR 3 in but it does nothing?! 4K/40 I guess it is then. Absolutely insane.

Does anyone know if Dualsense is supported on PC?
Probably not as usual.

It is, but it was bugged as it was showing a mix of MS and SONY symbols (not alternating as if it were reading multiple inputs, but literally the icons for the triggers were for MS and everything else was for SONY).

 

[Bernardougf]

It’s CPU bound. Won’t hit 60 on the Zen2. Maybe 40 with improved VRR.

Yeah .. the Pro is looking more and more like a no buy for me ... so ps6 it is eventually

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Something is off with those upscaling numbers I think. Also, max settings? Best thing to do would be to tweak settings and find a good sweet spot. Max settings is not really realistic for the majority of players, better off doing more broad tests as there could be something in the settings that just fucks the framerate.

Hoping there are some optimised drivers this week too.

 

[kruis]

Dayum, it's heavy af on PC as well.

With or without DLSS 3?

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC, Looking Into Fixes - IGN

In a statement to IGN, Capcom acknowledged possible frame rate issues with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC, saying they may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.
