Destiny 2 Will Run 4K at 30FPS on a GTX 970

Destiny 2 just dropped on consoles and PC gamers are going to have to wait a few coming weeks for the full game to be released on PC, but when it does release it is going to be so optimized that even a GTX 970 will be able to get 30FPS at 4K.

Bungie seems to have added everything PC gamers want when it comes to support for all our different trinkets and specifications based off our rigs. Multi-monitor support, Ultrawide, multi-GPU, HDR, unlocked frame rate up to 200FPS, customizable Field of View from 55 to 105 degrees and key mapping.

[4K on a Budget] Destiny 2 vs GTX 970/ GTX 1060: 30fps Is Easy, But What About 60?

What every PC gamer wants is a complete smooth experience, no FPS drops, no screen tearing and a final product that is so optimized that even a mid range PC will be able to handle it. That is exactly what Bungie has done, DigitalFoundary’s latest test with a GTX 970 GPU and a  Pentium G4560 clocked at 3.50GHz, Destiny 2 achieves 30FPS at native 4K.

This test was conducted on the High preset with 16x Anisotropic Filtering and textures on the highest.

These tests are a really good sign that PC gamers will be acquiring a game on release that seems to be (from these tests) fully optimized.

    1. Only BF1 Tsar 😀
      look at the Physics, Textures, GFX and you have DX12 !
      But D2 on Xbox is DX12, why not give it to Gamers on PC tho?
      Any conspiracy theories out there for DX12 Hold up?

      1. Xbox One supports both DX11 and DX12. I think Destiny use a DX11 on both Xbox and PC. Most games on Xbox still uses DX11, only few big companies such as EA use DX12

  1. In other words a low end pentium dual core and a mid range gpu perform like and xbox one x….lol most powerfull console

        1. I only said that everyone already knows – console optimization is better than optimization on PC. So console with 6 TFLOPS will be faster than PC graphics card with 6 TFLOPS. Deal with it

          1. Muh opteemyzayshunz for dat 30fps cinematic experience!

            Carry on shilling for your beloved Microsoft with your wilfully disingenuous silly pics.

          2. when we gonna see youtube video showing forza 7 maxed out at 4k on my old 980 ti running at a flawless 60fps that came out 2 years before your beloved xbox one x with my ivy bridge cpu from 2012 you will cry tears.
            of course consoles optimization are closer to the metal.
            but dont compare amd gpu tflops vs nvidia tflops…
            fury x tflops is 8.6!and the 390x 5.9 tflops, and yet my nvidia 980ti without overclock is 5.6 tflops and smack the 390x around and is equal and most of the time beats the fury x…and of course the 980 ti overclock pretty good…so nvidia 5.6 tflops>>>>amd 8tflops>>>>>>>>>>xbox one x 6tflops

            ps you are also an idiot because the cpu of the xboxonex is still a serious bottleneck

          3. So was gears of war 4 ultra 4k “requirements” required a 1080 for 4k 30fps and yet my 980ti ran gears of war 4 at an average of 35fps at 4k max settings.
            Same for battlefield 1 requiring an i7 6700k for recommended and yet with my 3770k at ultra im hitting always above 80fps

          4. “cpu of the xboxonex is still a serious bottleneck”

            How CPU can be a bottleneck on Xbox if Xbox X uses hardware dx12 command processor built inside CPU? On Xbox X you need only 11 CPU cycles to create single draw call on GPU. How many thousands of CPU cycles you need on PC to create single draw call (all operations done by software DX12 drivers instead of hardware)

            Can you explain to me how you want to software based process on PC (driver) run faster than hardware command processor on Xbox? How many CPU cycles your CPU need to create a single draw call on your GPU?

          5. doesn’t matter if they got more advance tech integrated inside the CPU for XB X. it might give you lower overhead but it will not going to increase the CPU IPC.

          6. You do know that the DX12 command buffer is more advantagious for PC right, since it reduces driver and API overhead by alot? Consoles already do multithreading well with their own custom API has very low overhead. NVIDIA have reduced that overhead in their driver and so have the devs by writing better engine code in DX11, the advatage you claim isn’t going to be much. Because PC CPUs are much faster ,they can process a lot more draw calls and have a much higher IPC anyway than the console Jaguar CPUs.

          7. I think forza 7 will run similar to forza 6 apex, meaning 980ti/1070gtx will give you 60fps most lf the time, but during intensive scenarios you will see 45 fps dips (16 cars race in rain). For rock solid 60 fps 1080gtx will be needed

            When it comes to destiny 2 on consoles, GPU is not to blame, but supposedly CPU is to weak. I think xboX could run destiny with 60fps but it would require some time (and time is obviously money) in order to optimize that game fully, because xboX CPU is 31% faster and on top of that has 50-60% boost compared to standard xbox one (scorpio architecture is very efficient and for example cpu in scorpio doesnt need to waste it’s power on draw calls).

            Destiny 2 is multiplatform game, and personally I would never play games like that on console when I can run in on PC with even higher settings. I expext to run destiny in 4K60fps just with one setting turned down (DOF)

          8. No, XB1X has more memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070 because it’s geared towards 4K, GTX 1070 is a 1440p GPU, we can actually decide what to play rather than one option for 2 for consoles. Also, XB1X can’t do 144hz, can’t do ultra wide, can’t do multi display, you’ll need to get a whole new TV for FreeSync LOL

          9. Hahaha, great optimization this of the consoles that means to cut graphical
            effects, textures and details in the games until the games manage to run to at least 30fps, what a joke this such optimization of the consoles!!!

          10. No. TFLOPS are not everything. games will be optimized to run better on the xbone x, but that does not technically make the machine faster

          11. Nope, the GTX 750 Ti beat the PS4 and XB1 in alot of games yet the 750TI has less TFLOPS that the PS4. As for console optimisation, Just cause 3, AC Unity on console and other sub 30fps LOL

      1. lol the pc you can build to run destiny 2 at xbox one x settings at 30fps cost as much or even less than your beloved xbox one x

          1. And that’s the thing with all these xbox one x big talkers, when they get there “more powerful” console, they’re stuck with the same CPU, same GPU, same memory. The only thing they can add on is a extended hard drive.

            The PC on the other hand…you already know.

      2. You are only sort of right. The memory On the xbone x is shared VRAM and RAM. The xbone x also has a less efficient graphics processor than the 1070, seeing as it is still an APU

      3. AMD terfalops vs Nvidia teraflops have never been same, as Nvidia GPU are more efficient with architecture. So no way a xb1 x will be as powerful as a 1070 in any way shape or form

        1. I had 1070GTX (I have replaced that GPU with 1080ti now) and I wasnt able to run forza apex (45 fps dips) as well as xboX (60 fps locked with just 88% gpu usage), not to mention titanfall 2. Thanks to unique scorpio architecture tbat 6.2 tflops GPU is 60% more efficient (microsoft enginers have found out the biggest bottlenecks in AMD GPU and instructed AMD to fix that for them), so you need waaaaay faster GPU on PC in order to see similar results. Turn10 recommends 1080gtx GPU in order play forza 7 in 4K60 fps and seeing scorpio gameplays I’m not surprised seeing 1080gtx in requirements because it’s exactly what I was expecting.

  2. Only BF1 Tsar :Dlook at the Physics, Textures, GFX and you have DX12 !But D2 on Xbox is DX12, why not give it to Gamers on PC tho?Any conspiracy theories out there for DX12 Hold up?

  3. And as a very special bonus feature the game will also include F2P P2W microtransactions! Gotta love Activi$ion, they spared no expense!

  4. PC gamers seem to care more if a game runs well than the game being good. Who gives a crap if you can run Destiny 2 at 4k if its trash?

  5. Wait, Destiny 2 has actually launched on consloe?

    If that’s what you’re posting, then I seriously did not know. I saw the techtubers hyping the beta, but if a bona fide launch happened then I didn’t hear about it.

    Edit: Whoa, just looked at Wiki and the game actually launched several days ago on consloe. Did Bungie/Activision burn up their advertising budget on the beta and have nothing left to hype the actual launch?

    No more money for (lolwut) Led Zeppelin-set TV commercials this time around? 😉

  6. Prey amd Tekken 7 are also 2 other recent released games that run on 30+ fps on 4k DSR max settings with my GTX 970 G1 GAMING. Good news then i will play it at 4k DSR instead of 1440p for the best graphics!!!!

  7. >I’m not buying this “it’s the Physics that forces 30 FPS” excus

    Doesn’t change the fact that it’s true in a lot of cases. Fact is these devices have low end CPUs. PS4 Pro and Scorpio still have underpowered CPUs. That’s why they can’t have 60fps versions of the games running on them.
