DF is saying PC Ultra with some settings pushing up to PC Extreme, they don't give a slider by slider run down though.

Ah, thanks. Guess i'll just play around more.
Dunno what it is about this version versus the other one, but I have finally found (other than BURNOUT PARADISE) a racing game that I actually like. I've tried to get into them (my disastrous experience with GT still haunts me) but usually just admire the graphics, enjoy the first newbie races and then tap out once it gets a bit more difficult.
. . .this one though I've been replaying races on higher difficulties or assists, and enjoying the thrill of coming in first (on Novice Racer mode, let's not get all ahead of ourselves in excitement). I've also kept the radio on the classical music channel because the DJ there is less annoying than the others.
I feel like you can sell any of them. Or put them on the AH for like nothing if you want to help someone (turn a profit).

Just want to chime in with my experience so far.
PC, i9 10900k (stock), 32GB RAM, 3080. Runs at Extreme graphics preset (actually a couple of ticks above for a couple of settings) at 4K, 60FPS, no drops. Obviously, graphically, the game is nothing short of stunning. One of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The only thing I can think of that comes close is RDR2.
However, I was struggling with the gameplay at first because I wanted to use my wheel, a Thrustmaster TS-PC with TH8A shifter, but could not keep the friggin car, any car, on the goddamned road. I would take a turn, come off the gas, and careen straight off the damn track, time after time. Also, my shifter has 7 speeds + R, and different cars have different transmissions, with different speeds, and keeping track of what had what was a pain in the ass. Some even had more than 7 speeds, which meant I'd need to use sequential shifting for those. Do not want. It was all so frustrating that I disconnected the wheel altogether and played with controller. That was fun enough, but not what I wanted, and not what I bought the game for.
Today, I went back to the lab and found the sweet spot. In the Thrustmaster app, I set my wheel radius to 360 degrees, and set the steering type in-game back to Standard (I had originally put it on Simulation), leaving the in-game steering sensitivity at default. MUCH better. Also, I found that in the garage, you can install a 7-speed trans in any car, which means I can adapt any car to my shifter.
So now, I'm absolutely loving the game. Been playing most of the morning and having an absolute blast. I have drivatar difficulty at Above Average, and the challenge level for my setup feels just about perfect. From
to in 3 easy steps.
That's it. I'm off. Cheers.

Is the Series X gpu more powerful than the 1080ti? If so I can't get behind the idea that this is some masterpiece on Series X. Series X performance mode is not turning out max settings and uses DRS dropping to 1600p. Why couldn't 1440p/max settings be pulled off on series x like your 4 yr old aging hardware?

How does your PC hardware compare to Series X? Your getting max settings and only utilizing 60% of the systems power, right? I'm trying to understand why we can't get ultra settings at 1440p/60 on Series X and I admittedly don't keep up with PC hardware as I don't own a gaming PC. People are going to label me as a troll or somy famboy for expressing disappointment but I'm not, I'm just somewhat let down by how many games seem to be performing on these new systems, which were being touted as 2070 ps5/2080- series x with very capable cpu and good memory set ups...Finally I get to play this game... it was my brother's brother's birthday yesterday so I was stuck doing that.
The Beetle wasn't available right away as it's a barn find so my Beetle Taxi/beat-up Herbie plan is temporarily on hold. In the meantime I went back to Horizon 1 and set up a Corrado exactly like I had it in that game to use for the first part of the game.
Driving dynamics are much improved over Horizon 4. Cars feel weighted properly. A month ago I got a winter beater, a 2004 Hyundai Accent which weighs nothing and feels like it. My other car is a big Genesis sedan that weighs about twice as much. After driving the little shitbox for a month I took the other car out for a monthly run and I felt like I was in a tank. This game has a similar feel jumping from a heavy planted car with wide tires to a turd on pizza cutters. I'm really getting a kick out of traction on gravel without an LSD too. The Corrado is pulling left hard when accelerating and you can visibly see the car firing rocks out from the driver side front tire. Really liking it so far.
Dirt, dust and smoke effects are really kicked up a notch and texture work on everything is bananas. Loving the little details all over too like the rocks marking the parking spots in front of this small outdoor shop. When I was very young my grandma lived in Yuma, Arizona during the winter and would rip across the border to Mexico regularly in her old orange diesel Mercedes (wah-wah-wah-wah). These little outdoor shops and markets were all over the place. Despite living in Canada, growing up my home was full of Mexican blankets, paintings, hand-made toys and and knick-knacks grandma would bring up with her every spring.
Game runs much better than I expected on my 2080ti/10600K combo. 1440p/60fps locked at maxed out everything puts the GPU at 50-60% and the CPU doesn't even seem to be trying at 60fps. I'll wait for an in-depth guide to pop up and will adjust for 120 locked. I'll turn MSAAx8 down to x2, motion Blur is already turned off because I hate it and as was the case in Horizon 4 many of the other settings don't appear to have a major impact on appearance from extreme to Ultra but do have a pretty big effect on framerate. No hitching or frame pacing issues.
Unfortunately the game has crashed a few times on me. Not a huge deal as it only takes a minute to get back in to the game and it saves every time you do anything but I hope they iron things out quickly. Horizon 4 crashed occasionally too during the first week and Horizon 3 was one of the first PC games to come out during Microsoft's renewed push so it had several issues as well.

Damn i was hoping they fixed this. This was the same issue i had with Forza 4 when I had stopped playing. it was impossible to use a wheel. It made no sense how it was harder to drive with a wheel in a arcade game, then it was in real life. I also have thrustmaster force feedback wheel, and even at low speed i couldn't stop from spinning out.Just want to chime in with my experience so far.

I’m happy with how it plays now. I think the keys, though, are keeping it on Standard steering, and setting your wheel to a lower rotation. I like 360, but I’m gonna test 540. I’m thinking that’s about as high as you’d wanna go.

Well, I don't think I have any. Most of the time I'm just trying to find the best angle and that's it. No filters, no color correction etc.

Yep. Constantly getting dropped. Hopefully they have it sorted in time for the general release.

Just finished the Gauntlet, a freaking 58km dirt race that finishes the dirt segment.
That was peak racing, I don’t think any game can top that. It really feels like you are tested in different conditions as you drive across the country almost coast to coast. Incredible.

There have been some improvements like specific accolades for actually winning races, giving you choices on which type of races to unlock, a better car collection with bonuses for collecting certain cars, etc. But it remains overall similar so if you didn’t like it before you may not like it now.

Tried it on PC with my 2080 Super, and while it looks better, the poor HDR and longer load times on my old ass SSD hurt the experience. Plus, I'm spoiled by Quick Resume. What an awesome feature... though I think it may be contributing to these constant disconnect messages I'm getting right now.

Yeah i was afraid of that. I get they do this to encourage new players and online play, but i really miss having a good open world racer with TDU-style or nfsu2-style carrers.

I have no direct experience with the game yet, but given the RX580 and the 1X GPU are similar, you should be able to configure something that is performant. Maybe even similar to XSS since you have a decent CPU.

I assume the actual framerate the XSX is putting out is considerably higher at times than 30fps in quality mode to achieve a rock-solid 30fps. Likewise the performance mode is likely outputting well north of 60fps at times to always stick to 60fps like it does. Possibly at 1440p the XSX just can't maintain a solid 60fps in quality mode so Playground opted for the solution they used instead.
If I run the game at 4K with all settings at max like the XSX uses for Quality mode (including stuff I never use like motion blur) and have DRS on like the XSX I see an 68fps average with a low right around 60fps but since my monitor is a 1440p monitor I don't really need to. If I play at 1440p/120 with all settings maxed like the Xbox Series X Quality mode and DRS active I see anything from low 80s to 110+ in the benchmark with the same settings. I keep motion blur off and MSAA at 4x and shut off DRS and that brings my min up into the low 90s-120s range.
Keep in mind my 2080ti is liquid cooled, overclocked and sits in a 4 cubic foot high airflow case with enough fans to airlift a horse. It also cost me just over $1000 CAD when I bought it three years ago. I also spent a lot of time tweaking Windows on my machine, disabling absolutely everything I could get away withso when I'm running a game that's really all my PC is doing.
I would not be disappointed that a $500 Kleenex box with a single fan that works just fine by simply plugging it into the wall and TV is running this game at max PC settings at 4K/30fps and mid-high settings at 4K/60 . The value consoles offer is absolutely nuts.
They should include a 1440p option though, absolutely.

I just tested Ryzen 1600 and Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 4GB(with fat OC to 1400MHz core/1900MHz mem in Afterburner) and ran a few benchmark passes to see what the optimal settings for my visual preference were. You'll probably have another 15-25% headroom depending on your OC. I liked the look of native res without resolution scaling, although you may be able to tolerate Ultra Quality resolution scaling depending on your tastes. This was the best mix I came up with while still staying under the VRAM limit. I started with 'Low' preset, then chose 'High' AF, 2xMSAA, and 'High' Environment Texture Quality. I believe Lens Effects and Shader Quality are set to 'Medium' by default in this config.
Ended up with 74fps avg, and for the most part this is how it would perform in the open world, but imo it's best to get that ~60fps min for segments in the game that get really heavy. You can probably increase a couple more settings to 'Medium' with your RX 580 as long as it doesn't push the VRAM limit and choke, but this mix will be safe and it will give you 1080p/60fps with decent visuals. Good luck!
P.S.- For reference, I just ran Fire Strike 2013 and came out with 14,783 Graphics Score with this tuning.
