I'm on my phone right now, so I can't really judge. How does the PS4 version compare? Are there any comparison gifs between Ultra and High (which iirc is what PS4 and XB1 look like)?

There is in the OT that compares high to ultra but also remember PS4 also 900p

Thanks pal.

And yeah I remember about the res, lol. Was pretty upset about it when the news came out. I'm almost home so I'll check on my PC.

 

[Syphon Filter]

doesn't work with radeon pro, so it doesn't work with catalyst control center. I have a 7950

You mean its not there as an option or it is but the problem still persists?

 

[Stallion Free]

Why kind of performance are you guys getting at 1600x900, SMAA temporal + all settings at high, no HBAO+ obviously?

 

[luca_29_bg]

without the broken vsync in game frame rate is much more stable but the tearing is tedious...i need vsyng and triple buffering

[Xyber]

Lol @ that FPS and texture pop-in

glad I don't support this cancerous company

I wouldn't be surprised if he only has 2GB of RAM on those cards. Ultra textures makes it unplayable on a 2GB card and it stutters pretty bad. With high textures it's smooth. Also, SLI isn't working now.

if radeon pro can't force something, even catalyst control center can't. I have already tried, simply doesn't work. Only stupid vsync in game works, but really really bad!

What you need is a new monitor!

I refuse to use vsync ever again

sorry i play on a 55 3d tv and i like it! Vsync and triple buffering are enough for me, when they works, damn!

I'm pumped for this game, but worried that my little rig might not even be able to start it up.
Thing was a little beast back in its day, but this game is making me feel like it's time to put something new together.

Core i7 Q720 @ 1.60 GHz
6 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5800 1GB

Think it's worth risking buying this Day 1 or waiting for a sale?

I'm not the type of guy who needs his games to be pretty as much as he wants them to be smooth. Think I have a chance at decent performance with settings at Medium/Low?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

2500k @ 4.5 (might get dominated)

ive been ready for this for almost 2 years!

or $23-$25 on cheapassgamer.

I bought the deluxe version a few mos back from Origin India for $30. Oh well.

At 1920x1200 at Ultra, I should be able to hit the 40FPS, hopefully.

AFAIK RadeonPro will work in 64bit and do triple buffering (both on AMD and Nvidia cards). So give that a try.

Isn't the 280x basically a re-branded 7970?

It's a nightmare. Let me explain:

Turning V-Sync on does the same thing as in AC IV where it basically locked the game at 30 fps unless you were looking at the wall. Without it it's like a roller coaster going from 30 to 60 and back down, if you are walking slowly is not that bad but driving is almost impossible. I mostly play on High becuase setting the game on Medium barely helped, you gain a few fps but the drops are still there.

I hope they fix it with a day one patch or some drivers by AMD. Ubilol at it's finest.

The game is CPU bound, as expected. A big open world game like this is unlikely to run at 60 fps for anyone yet people will still say it's unoptimized trash. Lock it to 30 and be happy.

i5 4770k, gtx 780, installed on SSD.

I can't even play on high without the fps dropping a lot/freezing for a few seconds when i drive, otherwise it's fine, especially on foot.. not much difference in performance between high/ultra for me but driving is annoying.

I should also mention I am running the nvidia beta drivers (337.50) which did help the stuttering a bit for me.

Stuttering could be due to hitting VRAM limit. Install MSI Afterburner, turn on ingame monitor, and then, enable CPU & GPU usage, CPU & GPU Ram usage and framerate. Now, when you see stuttering, look at the GPU ram usage.

Did you turn off in-game v-sync and try to for adaptive v-sync with radeonpro?

Yeah, i checked that and lowered textures to high, it stutters mostly when driving or walking around crowds. It needs a patch and a new driver i guess.

60-90 FPS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XacMxuAX9IQ

He has a 4770k too! Look at all 8 threads being used as well, nice. So glad i never listened to those saying i7's werent worth it for next gen gaming.

Wow.. I think you're right.

Looks like its using 2852/3072MB of VRAM on foot, and when driving it bottlenecks.

I'm not even using AA... any ideas? lol

If textures are on Ultra, knock'em down to High.

 

[Serandur]

What AA options are available in the game? SMAA, FXAA, TXAA, MSAA, any SSAA?

 

[Wag]

Hmm. That's odd. There should be a way around that. Someone will figure it out. I'll mess with it when I get the game on Tues.

 

[Havel]

Everything you said aside from SSAA.

 

[paperspace]

Everything you said aside from SSAA.

Supersampling is mentioned in the GamerProfile.XML interestingly enough

See if you can spot any meaningful differences.

What settings did you even change?

 

[Kade]

I

What

What is the point of using the Banderas for that of all things?

It doesn't mean anything anymore thanks to excessive and uneccessary use. Hasn't meant anything since February 2013.

 

[burgerdog]

DeferredFx "console" to "pc" :lol It doesn't do anything.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Just curious, but would locking the game to 30 FPS make it run smoother?

 

[Syphon Filter]

[Marceles]

*scrolls down thread* still stuttering on max settings while driving, settings doesn't matter yadda yadda...sigh great. I hope Geforce experience helps me out with this one on launch because I don't know what the hell kind of settings I should be content with.

i7 4770k, 16gb RAM, GTX 780 should mean ultra, but looks like there's optimization problems. And that guy's CPU in the video is bouncing between 70-80C the whole time, so I guess my H60 cooler will be doing work. And THEN reading about the vsync in-game is terrible? Getting a headache now

 

[-COOLIO-]

Is 3gbs of vram not enough at ultra textures?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Is 3gbs of vram not enough at ultra textures?

It's enough for 1080p, but I don't know about higher resolutions.

 

[Yasae]

How much impact will resolution have anyway...

 

[TSM]

Wow.. I think you're right.

Looks like its using 2852/3072MB of VRAM on foot, and when driving it bottlenecks.

I'm not even using AA... any ideas? lol

It seems like you need a minimum of 4gb of vram for ultra settings. There are going to be a lot of irritated people with 3gb of vram or less.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

How much impact will resolution have anyway...

On video memory? A lot.

 

[xBladeM6x]

How much impact will resolution have anyway...

Anything above 1080p will cripple most systems. Resolutions above it are probably the most GPU intense thing you can do with any game.

 

[realcZk]

If textures are on Ultra, knock'em down to High.

That brought it down about 200MB, noticeably better but it still gets up there when driving. I bet they'll slim it down in a future patch.

 

[-COOLIO-]

It's enough for 1080p, but I don't know about higher resolutions.

Thanks. Hopefully I can manage at 1440p with no aa

 

[paperspace]

What kind of monitor?

A 144/120Hz monitor

It doesn't eliminate tearing entirely, but enough to keep vsync off

Haven't used v-sync since I got the VG248QE
