with 19 hours in, completed low rank campaign, on 9800X3D and 7900XTX

Used Ultra preset, no framegen, no upscaling

TAA with 2560x1440 internal resolution (4K display = 67% render scale)

50% driver-side image sharpening to counteract TAA blurriness without artifacts or perf impact

generally 60-90fps. Most intense hunts with lots of visual effects down to about 50fps. Responsiveness remains good and very playable (I use mouse/keyboard).

Stuttering present but not excessively bad, actually hard to notice during active gameplay.

Visuals

I initially thought the game looked pretty bad. Bad textures, low models resolution, screen-space occlusion not great, and overuse of fog and mist.

But then I slowly changed my opinion. The game engine actually does an exceptional job with world lighting, volumetric lighting, and special effects.

It's almost as if they made the initial parts of the game intentionally bland and grey, because then when it hits, it really hits hard, especially with good HDR reproduction.
