Any chance of a quick performance test? The only thing you can't outright enable is VXAO and even that can be forced plus aside from some quirks it seems to be doing well in comparison to the benchmark though there's some reported graphical anomalies for both AMD and NVIDIA and due to the complexity of the effects Turf, PCSS (And HFTS) and Hairworks do a number on framerate for both AMD and NVIDIA GPU's.

EDIT: VXAO.

(And from some of the screenshots spread throughout the thread Ansel is doing some fun stuff to certain shader effects, thought the new implementation driver wise limited this side effect but I guess it depends on how the game also implements it.)

Played about 15 minutes of the FFXV demo so far. IMHO great improvement over the stutter fest the February 1 benchmark was. Running at 1080P GFE recommended settings with resolution scale 150. No stutters so far. Graphics are sweet. You have to watch the you tube video at least at 1080P full screen to see the AB/RTSS OSD numbers clearly.

I ran on highest at 3440 * 1440 with a Ryzen 1800x and 1080 ti and got 60 fps for the most part but I did have some really nasty 20fps dips, mainly when transitioning from a cutscene to gameplay or during hectic combat.
