Your best bet then would be to try to find a gtx 960 or a amd r9 380 on sale, they both go for 170 and usually on sale for 130-140.

Don't go for the 750 ti, at worst aim for the amd 270x or the nvidia 950, but the 380/960 on sale would be best bang for buck in that price range.

for example this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127843 960 is 164.99 and after the 25$ mail in rebate its 139.99.

and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121978 this r9 380 is 184.99 but after a 30$ mail in rebate its 154.99

@ctizn, the 760 is more than 10x faster than a gt 620, the gt 620 is a extreme budget card used to just give video out, in some 3d tasks the 760 would be more than 15x faster.

i would be surprised even on lowest if the gt 620 could get more than 50 fps.

What is your budget? and what wattage is your current powersupply.

I dont need to worry about recording in the near future as i have to learn the runs and am slow at the moment haha, but i will just pickup a capture card when i do record my gameplay, so far i learned A1-7-> open world and B1-4, for A segment my pb is 21:18 (14:20 best in each segment added together), so i have a lot to work on there.

right now since ~450 was mentioned a few times, i set my graphic settings to, lowest, low(1440p, 16xaf, my LOD to max on all sliders) / ultra / ultra and i seem to get 200 at worst, but mostly 350-450 fps and i capped my fps at 450.

Thank you everyone for all the info/help.

oh you can use obs and record on the same computer you are playing on, but it causes microstutter and im picky over that, and since i have a second pc laying around that has good enough specs to encode real time i figured why take the performance hit.

How would i stream the game from my gaming pc to the livesplit / obs pc without a capture card? or are you saying don't bother until i actually fully run the game?

so far after the last 2 days im able to almost complete A start to finish following Azorae's route from his WR.

Thanks for the responses. i guess running uncapped or 450 cap is the best option from what you guys have said.

here is high / medium (1440 res, 16x AF) / ultra / ultra

here is lowest / lowest / lowest / ultra

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=725446566

here is lowest / lowest (1440 res, 16x AF)

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=725446575

and for giggles, looking at the ground, lowest / lowest (1440 res, 16AF) / ultra / ultra

from what you have said ninja it seems im fine if i just run, high / medium (1440 res, 16af) / ultra / ultra, and fyi both memory and cache have zero hit on my fps ither lowest or ultra same fps, so ill keep them both on ultra.

with these settings i get 500 fps looking at the ground, and 200 in this spot on A1 that seems to be the worst fps ive seen.

thank you guys again for the info, i was secretly hopeing you would say like 200 is max jump height so i could cap the fps lol.

as for streaming i have a spare pc with a 2500k and 8gb ram, so i might get a capture card for it so i dont need to run the encoding on my pc while i game to avoid stuttering, and i need to look into if its possible to make auto split run on the second computer by modifying the autosplit python file

Oh and should i be running talos 32 bit or 64 bit? ive been opening 64 bit.

Hello all, i just started speed running Talos Principle and have a decent pc, i have my graphic settings on high / medium(3.7)/ultra/ultra and i get 300-400 fps pretty consistantly.

but i see everyone else running with 200 ish fps, is there any benifit to having more than 200 fps and if so whats the fps that gives you max jump?

just so i can set a fps limit in nvidia inspector so my pc dont need to work harder than required.

specs: 4790k @ 4.9, 980 ti @ 1485mhz,32gb 2400mhz ram
