Hard to believe it should be an AMD problem when it says Nvidia on your grafics card, isn't it?

So this is it?
Thank you for buying this game, but you wont be able to play it decent?

And this happens all the time in gaming

A game called Crysis came out and NOBODY could run it well at high resolutions.  That's part of pc gaming... there are always going to be incompatibilities.  But... it runs this game so much better than consoles when it has the right hardware combo it's crazy how different is.

Ernie, the answers to your problem have been given to you. AMD and the Unity engine do not work well together. As for a fix, HB has not given us any answers to how to fix this and blame AMD for the problems.

A high end card of any brand should run this game but if the engine and brand aren't compatible, well, simply put, we can't do nothing about it.

point 1 ) : my specs - amd phenom II x4 3.4GHz - 8GB - NVIDIA GTX 660
point 2 ) : from 1rst day of early access till september update i WAS ABLE to play High settings, 1920x1080, details 3 and got 35 to 45 fps on EVERY course
point 3 ) : since september i needed to switch back to  medium, details 1 and get rarely 25 fps
point 4 ) : i gave my rig to a specialist who tested it and he said : no need to worry,everything work perfect

summary : its NOT an AMD problem,it happened with the september update and got worse with december update,bofore both game ran fine and smooth. so why is any1 telling me its amd´s fault.with updating to win 10 ALL my other games made a progress and are faster and smoother than ever,but not TGC .

and i found something very interesting about the unityengine and its so called problems.maybe some points in there to think about :

Ernie, are other Nvidia owners reporting the same problem(s). If so, then there is a problem but your's is the first as most Nviidia owners are playing and not reporting.

[ErnieTheWels]

I dont have a clue,as there is no chat where i could ask.but my nvidia 660 gtx is a very popular card drivers up to date,so might have some more people with these issues.if anyone has,please add your comment in here.

Interesting read ....... I believe HB are using the Unity 4 version whereas Perfect Golf has moved onto Unity 5

If HB make a sequel,it's hard to see them using any other engine ...... due to financial restraints and ease of coding.

Hey Ernie, thought I'd add my experience with this game and updates, hope it helps. I didn't notice any performance drops from any game updates though I'm running a newer gen card. But did notice a significant drop when upgrading to W10 with my 780 Ti, probably about 10 fps. I was running a 760 when I first bought the game during EA. At the time I felt like the 760 would be the low end for running this game on High at 1080. In game setting I had set to detail 1 and trees to 800 or 2 and 500 (I believe been a while) to get steady fps above 30 to mid 40's. Which was the reason I upgraded to the 780 Ti (when prices dropped do to the 900 series release) and now get 2 to 3 times the FPS at 1080 or run the game at 1620 DSR resolution at 40 fps.

So you probably not going to see any improvement with your card as the polygon count keeps rising in game. It's a shame this game takes so much horse power to run. But it sure looks nice by them pushing the graphics to the limit if you do have the HP to run it.

PS edit: Starliner has a 970 and it preforms real close to mine, even exceeds in fps depending on the resolution.

[ErnieTheWels]

i just gambled around with ingame graphic settings and as soon as i goto waterdetail level 2 my fps drop to 50% of what i have with level 1. before that feature was released never had these fps breakdowns,maybe a point to have a look at. as i got no answer i dont know if this post is even noticed, but who knows .

[ErnieTheWels]

15th of january i posted this,there are more posts like this that are older, so why is there no responce from HB ?

[ErnieTheWels]

updated NVIDIA driver , NOTHING changed in TGC , but my other games and i mean all of them won fps, some more some less, but everywhere i see a progress . cant even go back to last very well working driver ( 347.08 ) as it says that it isnt compatible with my OS ( WIN 10 64 bit ).

and still the fact : before september update i had between 35 and 45 fps in 1920x1080 , high settings , details 3 . trees 200 , distance 1500 ....atm 25 fps and less ( overfly hole 15 fps to 20 fps ) in 1920 x 1080 , medium settings, detail 1 , 100 trees , distance 500 .... unplayable and its all measured on a course ( Laacher See GC ) i build  bout a year ago and played 70+ rounds on, so i know how well it worked before september update. and it happened not with any driver change, it happened at the day this update was released and got worse with december update  . fact !

[ErnieTheWels]

now, few months and a lotta new drivers from nvidia later, still the performance is gone to hell....any news from HB side ??

So the gyst of this is that we're all trying to run an Indy car on a Yugo engine.  That sounds about right.  Built around a $1500 platform, my personal PC cost twice that.  No wonder he problems with Sony ceritification all the time.  It always works fine on my PS4 but not my PC. AND YES, I KNOW that the PS4 version is also built on the unity platform........ It seems that Sony is making them put aftermarket parts on the unity engine to assure that it works for PS4 owners.

The picture is becoming much clearer now.

Hi all thought i would throw my hat in the ring 

I am ruining this on 2 980ti's and a high end i7. this game cannot be run on maximum. i have it at half way for the amount of high res tree's and the tree distance, and i also hive the object detail down a notch, i still get low frames rate randomly and the odd glitch when i take my shot.
This game has no optimization.
For those with Nvidia cards and have moved to windows 10 please note that Dx12 and windows ten gives ALL Nvidia cards a lower frame rate output.

Interesting....I just finally upgraded my PC (specs in sig) and I am running most courses on High Detail at 1080p and 4 on Object detail and 700+ yards an trees and drawing distances and averaging 55-60+ in FPS.....not sure why your rig is struggling....
