    Will a Nvidia RTX 2060 super be ok with TSW2?
    will the 2060S work with the new TSW3?

    Define "OK". Depends on what you expect from it
    4k 60fps might be a push but you'll get HD at 60fps for the most part

    This the 1st time I heard of TSW3, what is different in TSW3 from TSW2?

    I would not recommend playing TSW in FHD. Even with AA on it does not look good.
    You will need at least set the render resolution to 150% AND use AA.
    Other graphics settings except Texture Quality don't really matter.

    Also be aware that TSW2 is badly optimized and will most likely run worse then similar games or modern open world games will run on your pc

    As far as your GPU goes, clouds...
    Other than that I suggest watching the release video from two weeks ago

    Of course it will work but most likely it will stutter. TSW games are known to be badly optimized. You need to try it and see if it acceptable for you. No way to tell you.

    Stutter is inherent in the engine and as you say, the game isn't optimised to be super smooth, but I have a similar card and it runs at HD at a fairly stable 60+ fps

    Yeah but most players are not used to the level of stuttering happening in TSW, that's why I say...try it and see if it is acceptable for you or not.

    I've the same GPU (OC Edition) along with an i7 8700 and the game installed on SSD.
    It runs smooth as butter at 4K with render resolution at 100%.
    You shouldn't be bothered at all, at 1440p will run even better :)

    TSW2 and butter smooth don't mix. You will always have stuttering.

    to my understanding, stuttering is when the GPU is faster than the CPU and the GPU is not running at 100%, the faster GPU has to wait for the CPU to catch up causing the screen to stutter images, a i7-8700 is probably faster than an RTX 2060S therefore no CPU lag and no stuttering

    No, the stuttering in TSW2 is because of tile loading and UE4 as well as generally bad optimization. Nothing you can do about that

    The original question was "will it be OK on this GPU".
    I know your opinion is that it won't be OK on ANY GPU as you've had issues with the game for ages, but in general the game does run, runs well enough for many people and even if it stutters at tile boundaries and due to bad optimization, for the most part people can see past this and enjoy the game in full HD at high or ultra high detail levels using the hardware stated

    If you want absolute clarity and no glitches or stutters then I suggest that DTG may not be the developer for you

    Your card will run the game. How well it runs will depend on your expectations. Until recently, I was running on a GTX960. With a few of the setting lowered, it generally ran fine. I locked it at 30fps.
    As others have mentioned, certain complicated areas, and loading of the next "tile" will cause frame drops at certain times. It's not ideal, but its not unplayable.
    I recently upgraded my whole system, including a 3060ti. I can run much higher settings, and have the frame rate locked at 50, but the tile loading issue is no different, and frame rate drops in heavy, un-optimised areas are still the same.
    There are some .ini settings that can help mitigate the issue.
     
  18. With a rtx 3070 with the graphics settings as low as they can get the game still stutters just the same as having everything on ultra!

    I have a 2060 and use 1440p resolution, it's fine on High settings. Just keep the resolution scale at 100%.

    Exactly this. Let's just say that I run it at 4K, ultra settings, on my GTX 1070! Stuttering/hitching is the same no matter what resolution I play at, because it's seemingly due to both Unreal Engine and memory dumps. So the answer is yes, the OP can run the game on that GPU no problem, as you say, so long as they can overlook the issues that happen regardless of GPU.

    I did wonder why my GTX 1070 can run it at 4K resolution, while no other game runs in 4K well enough, so I play at 1080p or 2K at a push (the GTX 1070 was meant for 1080p max.). Matt gave the game away recently: whereas games usually use higher detailed assets when you select 4K mode, DTG use the same resolution assets across all modes, so you'll certainly get better clarity, such as with overhead wires, but the textures aren't designed for 4K.

    I have a GTX 760 and run TSW in medium setting on 1080p. Motion blur does the trick for me. It’s not the best experience but gameplay wise no problems.

    i'm also run TSW2 on a mediocre "gaming" laptop with 1050, still getting 35-40 fps on 1080p, 100% screen percentage is enough for me. It's all about having fun & enjoy the route, me myself not into super-ultra-hd 4K 60fps/120fps gaming really.

    On 1080P I get around 80-90 FPS on Ultra with Screen Percentage at 150%. Still suffers from the stuttering every now and again, but that is out of my control.

    Hi all! I really need advice! Need help choosing a new monitor for TSW2 (RTX3070 card):
    - 32" 2560x1440
    - 28" 3840x2160
    Share your experience please! I'll be very thankful.

    Not really TSW related, but 2560x1440 is perfect resolution for 32" screen (without using font/dialog scaling). I'm playing on such screen in every game on GTX1080Ti. If I was choosing, I personally wouldn't be getting a 4K monitor if its smaller than 36" (but for anything bigger than 32" I'd need to rearrange space around my desktop).

    For 32", the ASUS VG32AQL1A is the larger version of the 27" one I am using three of. 170hz, 1440p, VRR, etc. TSW2 looks very nice.

    I agree with the posts above. I run a 32" ASUS at 2560x1440 at 144hz on a 3080. TSW Looks great on it. Of course 4K would be nice, but I prefer the bigger screen and better refresh rate for what I wanted to spend.

    Get the 2K one. Make sure it has G-sync, or at the very least it is G-sync compatible.

    Note: Keep in mind that choosing 4K means you need more graphics computing power. It will make you need to replace your graphics card more frequently than 2K and there is not that much of a difference unless you are sitting really close to the monitor (and you should not with any 27+ inch screen).

    Yes, 2K is the way to go for now for sure.

    I use a curved 2K ultra wide on a 3070 and the sensation is amazing.
    My dream is to own an OLED in the next 3-5 years when the tech becomes more accessible. LG and Corsair just announced some great models at Gamescom recently but they are very expensive for now.

    Thanks a lot everyone for the advice!
    I have no experience in 2K and 4K and it's hard for me to decide for myself. I look at the TSW content in 4K posted on YouTube, and I note for myself that the image fascinates me! I have a fear that 2K will not live up to my expectations and I will again think about 4K. I am ready to sacrifice FPS and monitor size for the quality of the picture that I see in 4K content.

    Can't decide!! Is a 2K picture really not much different from a 4K picture? Textures in 4K don't look the best? Is the difference in object detail not significant?

    The thing is that 2K is good enough for a 28'' monitor. 4K is recommended above 32'' (and it is still a case of killing flies with a cannon).

    Why dont you get a 36'' 4K monitor?
    My guess is because it is too expensive.

    Why did you buy a 3070 and not a 3080 or 3090?
    It was too expensive.

    Why would you want to go 4K with a 28'' monitor now, after you have been making the wise cost/benefit decissions until now?

    A good 4k monitor right now is between 1 and 1.5k $/€. By good I mean a quality panel, high refresh rate, a stand so you can adjust it properly, certifications suchs a G-sync, HDR, curvatute and other characteristics.
    You can get cheap 4k displays but you'll not experience the full package from upgrading.

    2k is the sweetspot for a more budget oriented customer that can't afford to pay 1.5k for the graphics card and another 1.5k for the monitor at minimum.

    Besides the resolution, there are so many things that you need to consider, some that are crucial for image quality. A monitor, regardless of resolution, can produce different quality depending on what panel it uses (TN, PVA, IPS, OLED etc.). You usually chose one that syits most the content that you consume cause all are decent but some are better than others at something like response time, color accuracy, viewing angles etc.

    It's an important choice to make. Your vision comes first so chose wisely to protect your eyes as well.
    Good luck!

    I've had a 4k monitor, 28" I believe, for the past 5/6 years, and it's been an amazing experience. Fortunately I've always had the hardware to utilise the monitor's potential, which is what you will want because believe me, anything less than 4k on a 4k monitor doesn't look good. 2k is somewhat acceptable, but a game at 1080p on the monitor looks like rubbish. It's 60Hz, and up until recently, I've been ok with it, but now I'm considering getting a high refresh rate 2k monitor as high refresh rate 4k ones are too expensive for me at the moment, although that's what I would love. Bare in mind though, it's very difficult atm to run a 4k game at let's say 120/144hz at maximum settings, even on something like a 3090/ti, although this ofc depends on game optimisation as well.

    Right now, if you want high refresh rate, unless you can easily afford the 4k monitors, go with a good 2k one. OLED screen, g sync/freesync, all that good stuff. Would definitely be worth the money imo.

    Yeah, high refresh at 4k is going to tax even the top end of the current generation of graphics cards. Perhaps the new ones coming will change that, but as has been said before, you'd be looking at 3 grand between the two.
    And frankly, there's just more benefit in getting a high framerate than in pushing more raw pixels.

    Up to 3 weeks ago I was running an unclocked Radeon RX 480 with a AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT CPU.

    I could run TSW2 in Ultra graphics and still get a min of 30FPS at 1920x1080 even on LC and DRA, the older routes I could easily max out at 60FPS (I set that as the max). Your RTX 2060 should be fine as long as your CPU is up to the job.
