The game insists it's running in 1080p, but ShadowPlay seems to be capturing video at 720, which I haven't seen happen in other games before. What could be causing this?

Yes, select US or Can in your VPN before booting Origin. Once you've hit play on Catalyst just exit your VPN, and as long as you don't log out of Origin or turn your PC off it doesn't have to check again.
Seriously, there's a crane bit and my knees were fucking WEAK.
I don't mind temporal AA usually, I really like Fallout 4's implementation of it, but this is too aggressive imo.

Never bought from them before... Are they really not selling stolen keys?

They sell other region's codes from what I understand. I've bought a few games from them (Battleborn and DOOM) with no issues.
Yes
Yes, I got it for $40 using that method.

is there SLI support?
Does this work?
Im in europe. I preloaded the game earlier today.
Closed Origin now. Installed and started VPN using US East IP. Verified IP and it is correct.
Start Origin and i see Mirrors Edge in the store, it is marked as available now.
Go into library but the game is locked. Says it will unlock on the 9th...

Yeah, they've added it for release.

Works for me from Sweden. I used softether to connect to an american vpn.
Anyone who has experimented with the FOV setting for 21:9 resolutions? The range is 60-90. 90 seems to be a bit too much, so I am running at 80 currently.
I'm running it on an SSD and it was already setup that way. Thanks though! I'm going to reinstall the game and see if that changes anything.

The game runs great for me. Avg 80 fps and never below 60 fps during the introduction. Stable performance in open world, about avg 65 and min 50. The frame drops are not really noticeable using gsync.
Settings: 2560*1080, vsync disabled, gpu memory restriction disabled, fov 80, overall quality hyper
Specs: 5820k@4.3, 16 Gb RAM, Titan X SC, installed on ssd, running windows 10

Game runs great on my rig, runs at constant 60 FPS on full max hyper settings on 1080P.
Specs as follows: I7 4790K running at 4.5 OC, 16GB DDR3 2400 Mhz ram, GTX 970 4GB.
Kind of surprised considering the beta stuttered like crazy, guess the drivers or full release fixed it.

Game has an issue loading hi-res textures it seems when you have the vram limit engaged. It makes hyper textures rather pointless and they probably look worse than lower settings at that point.
Well I guess the point of the VRAM limiter is to only not load high res textures when you're actually out of VRAM as opposed to not having high res textures at all.
How much VRAM do you have?

4GB on my 980, I know it's not 8 like those new fangled 1080's I can't actually buy yet but I thought it'd be enough to prevent textures that look like this. This is happening on all of the texture settings I bothered trying which is high, ultra and hyper. The only way I can find to fix it is to turn off the memory limit. Not my screenshot so I know it's not happening to just me.
I've definetly been seeing some low rez textures on a 980 ti too and it wasn't using near the max memory. Was around 4 gb.
I just took off the cap after troubleshooting it (had the issue where it needs system managed page file) and Hyper textures now use up the full 6GB rather than the 4ish it was using before, and from what I can tell the low rez stuff is less frequent. Ultra seems to take up 4.5. This is at 1440p.

yeah, before nvidia deleted their comparison article i believe they stated it controls shadow map res and lod. maybe they deleted it because it was was wrong? their screens showed better lod and shadows and not much else. they mentioned something about a 4x resolution increase to the games light calculations but in their comparison screen for it it just manifested as a slighty more accurate reflection on one of the floors

They are never in those graphs for some reason. Is it an 8 gb ram reason? or the site just doesn't have those cards.

Running the game on Ultra 1080p on my rig and it runs at 60+ FPS without any noticeable drops.
i7 4790k
16GB RAM
7200 RPM WD Black 1TB (OS running on SSD)
GTX 970 SCC 4GB
Xbox One Elite controller
The only problem I'm having right now is that the controls are a bit wonky using the triggers and bumpers to do all of the parkour movements isn't necessarily ideal. I wanted to map those buttons to my paddles on the Elite controller but every time I open the Xbox Accessories app in Windows 10 it says I need to update the controller firmware and it keeps connecting/disconnecting my controller over and over again and eventually fails. I can't even get past the update screen. I feel like the paddles will fix my gripes with the controls but this stupid Xbox Accessories app is garbage.

So, I'm having some major fucking problems with this game - the cutscenes. They run like FUCKING GARBAGE.
I played the beta and everything ran perfectly.
Now when I hit a cutscene it fucking chuggs like 0-10 fps and the audio is ahead by like 5-8 seconds. Outside of cutscenes everything is fine and runs nicely.
Win 10 64
i5 2500k 3.30GHz
16 GB RAM
GTX 980 SC, 4GB GDDR5
Drivers are all up to date.
Does unchecking the GPU memory limit do anything?
I tried dropping my 90 POV down the default but that didn't affect performance during cutscenes much.
*edit*
People on Reddit says setting program priority to high in task manager. Those work for anyone? Can't check for myself right now.

Running everything Hyper at 1440P. Seems to run smooth with GSYNC. No noticeable problems on my end.
Those having stuttering or texture issues should try disabling the memory limit. If that doesn't work, try lowering the texture setting.
I've noticed almost 9GB of VRAM usage on my Titan X. This game loves memory for some reason.

Game actually looks fairly close on all three systems X1, PS4, PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZOFoEjg7-M
I really feel EA's Frostbite 3 engine is pretty bad ass, imho, especially it's efficiency on consoles.

Well that's really odd to not put AMD's higher tier cards in there...and before anyone says the 290/x is the same as the 390/x...nope not true, there are a few advantages of the 390/x.
And if they were in there, i have a feeling they'd be near the top of that list outside of SLI stuff
The Nano, Fury, and Fury X are all 4GB HBM tho.

Thanks.
Well, it's a 60 fps game on consoles so its bound to run well on PC.
Gamegpu has been missing AMD's top cards for some time now. This usually happens when the cards where given for testing by AMD's local office and then taken back for some reason.
Turn off memory limit. It will fix the texture and pop in issues.
I feel like that should be in big bold letters in the OP.
Edit: Although you might also need to lower settings to Ultra to prevent stuttering because of your 3.5GB of VRAM.

Yeah turned that off and every few seconds it drops to 45FPS then back up to 60+. Turned everything to Ultra and it's stable again but the textures are a lot clearer than before. You're right, turning that off should be bolded somewhere. I didn't know it scaled textures down so badly beforehand. So anyone know what the recommended hardware is for Hyper settings? I'm guessing a 1070 or 1080? I googled it, found the Nvidia guide but the page doesn't exist.
Before the guide page got taken down, I believe Hyper settings were recommended for 1070, 1080, and Titan X. I'm sure a 980Ti could run them as well, but it might stutter depending on resolution as this game loves VRAM. At 1440P, I've noticed a tad more than 8GB of VRAM usage in MSI Afterburner. When I tried raising the resolution scale to 2.0, the game started running at 3fps and used up the entire 12GB of VRAM my card has. lol
Gonna need 16GB+ HBM2 Pascal Titan to start messing with that option.

i5 3570k, GTX 970, 16GB RAM. I have to drop the game down to High in order to run at 60fps at 1920x1200, and even then it doesn't appear to be solid according to the in-game FPS counter. I'm not sure if it's my system specifically, the 3570k, or if everything saying "1080p Ultra on GTX 970" is a lie, but I definitely can't select Ultra unless I want to live with 30fps.
Pretty sure you can do 1080p Hyper w/ no memory limit with a 980 Ti.
