    Grainy Graphics and Low Fps

    I have an above average PC and the game is showy very grainy textures everywhere. This is also probably causing me to lose frames, too. It is currently unplayable. The menus are slow to respond and some textures like the skin of my character disappear altogether from the glitchy haze over my whole screen.

    Same here

    I'm getting the same issue, and my PC if well-above the recommended spec requirements.
    It's probably a driver issue, or something to do with shaders.
    I already re-installed my graphics drivers from Nvidia, and I still have the this problem..

    Same Issue

    I am having the same grainy graphics issue and very low fps. Not even playable. It must be a driver issue of some type. I'm using Nvidia GTX series.

    Fixed

    So all I did was go into the Nvidia Control Panel and make it choose the Nvidia High End for the Game. It was defaulting to the Integrated graphics even tho it should all by default go to Nvidia. This fixed it for me.

    For laptop GPU/integrated graphics issues, the following should help:

    NVidia users can do the following
    From NVIDIA Control Panel
    3D Settings->Manage 3D Settings
    Tab "Global settings"
    Preferred Graphics Processor
    Select : High performance NVIDIA processor


    AMD users can do either of the following in the Catalyst Control Center
    Assigning applications to GPUs
    -Specify which GPU is best suited for 3D and video applications found in the list.
    Manually selecting a GPU
    -Delegate all graphics processing tasks to a specific GPU

    if you still need a fix for the grainy effect

    Not sure if you found the answer, but I have it for you if you still need it.
    It's the Sharpening effect under Video (not Graphics). Scroll down and you'll see it. By default it's set to 30% I believe. Slide it to 0 and it should fix the grain effect.
    I came across this post because I had the same problem. I'm running 1080tis in SLI, and three 1080p screens, so slightly less than 4k. I ran it on Ultra and it actually looked fine (not much grain that I can remember) but the fps sucked. As soon as I started with the settings, going to Very High, horrible grain effect. I found the answer on a Reddit page.
    I hope this helps
