Destiny 2 looks absolutely incredible on the PC - Uncompressed 4K screenshots on Max settings

DSOGaming writes: "Activision and Bungie have launched the PC open beta phase for Destiny 2 and below you can find some uncompressed screenshots from it (obviously without Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain). Destiny 2 comes with a lot of graphics settings to tweak/adjust and even in its current beta state, it runs exceptionally well on the PC platform."

Already preordered for the PC. Can't wait for this and Anthem

[freshslicepizza]

So did I. This whole deal they did with Sony seems rather irrelevant because they can't control the output of information and videos showing how much better the PC version is.

[Rude-ro]

So this is the first game ever to look and perform better on pc?! That is amazing.
And every game to this point on consoles has never been good?!

Wow. :/

I am laughing at those that have no clue of pc gaming/builds and are capping out at 60fps and as low as 720p to get there...
And going against 140+ fps... it is funny.

"So this is the first game ever to look and perform better on pc?"

Well it's the first game in quite some time where I seen a console company pay for a marketing deal and has a hush policy on allowing them to talk about the more power console (the XB1X) and then having the PC build look night and day.

[GottaBjimmyb]

Sure the PC version looks better than PS4/XB1, but the game hardly looks that great. Almost every other modern FPS looks multiple times better.

I'll be playing on XB1 again but when I build a new PC next year I'll most likely buy another copy of Destiny 2 to try on PC because it does look awesome.

[LordoftheCritics]

Destiny 2 PC Beta was incredible. Been playing it more than a beta should be played.

Controls and frame rate are butter smooth.

Visuals are very sharp and everything looked amazing.
This just might be the definitive version.

[MegamanXXX]

It is the definitive version. PC will always be the definitive version depending if you have a high end or midrange PC and as long as the developers optimized it.

[MrFisher21]

Those exclusives though. Am I right. PC is killing the top 20 games this year.....or not

[kevnb]

considering the console version runs at 30 fps the difference is huge.

[3-4-5]

Destiny 1's controls are the smoothest I've ever used in a shooter ever so I'd expect more of the same in Destiny 2.

I'll be playing on XB1 but I'd assume it would be that much smoother with the 60 fps on PC.

[2600Thunder]

You're right. It is.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I would get this on PC but it's so outdated (7950 and 8300 fx) so I'm not sure how it would run. I'm trying to decide if I should go with the Pro version or Xbox version with Scorpio upgrade. Most likely xbox since that's where I play online the most. Man I need to upgrade my PC....

[kevnb]

try the open beta and find out.

[dp277407]

I just got done playing the opening act on the PC and it ran amazing on a GTX960 with an I7 and 16GB of ram and that's my older desktop.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I just might do that. How much longer is the beta?

[phoenixwing]

@blk

you're going to spend the ridiculous money on the scorpio instead of upgrading your pc? This just seems like a complete waste of money to me. You already own a pro for sony console games why are you letting your pc lag behind? Even buying a switch would make more sense.

However, if that's how you want to spend your money go for it.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Well let's see here...maybe because I'm a console gamer and 500 it's nothing to someone like me. Hope that helps answer your question

[phoenixwing]

if you're a console gamer then why did you even put up the pretext that you would want to get it on pc first or at all? Then the argument moves onto whether you should get it for the pro with dlc or the scorpio with slightly better graphics. What you should have just said was that you were gonna get it for the scorpio since you obviously are biased toward it.

Tested it in 4K HDR with more or less solid 60 fps today. It's just mind blowing pretty and fun.

[TankCrossing]

Really impressed by this. Not only is it really well optimised, but you can also turn off all the crap like film grain and motion blur.

No way i can play a console version after sampling the PC beta. Which is a shame as I've already got the console version paid for... Lol :(

[Yohshida]

Played it on PC at gamescom, looked like power rangers shooting bullet sponges, so much fun!

[kevnb]

I ran it pretty much max settings, 4k, 80% render on a 1070 and got a locked 60 fps :). I might be able to boost the render percentage a little, but I cant really notice the difference between native 4k and 80% render on my 50 inch tv.

[Maxor]

The most impressive thing about the PC beta over the PS4 is the 60 FPS. The difference in gameplay quality is like night and day. Its as if the PS4's Guardians are running through mud while the PC Guardians are gracefully bouncing around carefree and unencumbered. The entire game just flow and move so naturally without artificial stuttering.

[Yohshida]

Thats the reason I wont buy into this. No excuse not to put out 60fps on consoles.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Wonder how good X version looks

[remixx116]

I'm sure it's still capped at 30fps which is bull, but they wanna keep that parity with the one

[Allsystemgamer]

Cpu

[_LarZen_]

The PS4Pro version is 2160p checkerboard. So most likely native 4K and maybe with some better textures. It will be locked at 30 tho..so no 60 fps.

[Italiano1234567]

There might not be an upgraded version For the X cause of Sonys deal. Thats the rumor

[2600Thunder]

The beta was absolutely great and if there are great things to come (unlike D1's beta) then yes I will even DOUBLE DIP and grab the PS4 and PC versions since I have friends on both.

But I need to see the final product so I will not be preordering at all when there is no to minimal value in it. We'll see if things have changed in an industry full of PR and broken words. And yes I am bitter when these companies keep destroying Day 1 hype game time with our excited friends/family. Big announcements/changes these days are all talk talk talk or the additions of microtransaction marketplaces with nothing of substance.

If the game is great then they get 2 sales from me.

[fluxmulder]

Solid 60 on my gtx 980, everything cranked. Hopefully the full game performs just as well.

[MrFisher21]

The 1st one got boring very quick.

[fatbastard11]

I played a couple hours with my gtx 1080 in 4k and HDR and I think it's possibly the prettiest game I've ever been immersed into.It's also a top notch PC optimized port.Unfortunately the cheesy dialogue and and poopy PvP makes it a no go for me.

[phoenixwing]

you all enjoy your destiny 2, I'm not buying. The destiny 1 felt so barren and hollow. Not gonna get burned again on an online shooter of all things.

[BlindGuyMcSqueazy]

I got it free when I ordered my 1080 ti today. Can't wait to try it out.
