But the benchmark puts it at 49 FPS on average at VHQ with that card. Since he says he just wants 30 and doesn't care, why would he need to lower settings?

Why... can't I hold all these frames?

When my only other option is the PS3 version, I think it'll be an improvement.
I was going to wait until I got a PS4, but I'm really excited for this and I can't afford one just now.
Nevermind my posts, i misread the gpu, thought it was a 550, was wondering why you guys were saying there was a benchmark of it 
.
You should be fine with that gpu combined with an I7, especially when you're aiming for 30fps.
Edit: I looked at the menu screenshot from that benchmark link but i can't discern wether it has a FOV slider, anyone know if this game will have it?

I honestly wouldn't know the difference, aside the number. I have it preordered now anyway. Will let you guys know how things go - thanks for the help!
You can preorder a Steam code from GS and it'll have the same content. I think Last Survivor is generally exclusive to their store for now. Crew Expendable appears to be the bonus nearly everywhere.

How can the PS4 and Xbone not both be 1080p/60fps? Like seriously.
You will certainly achieve that on the same area they benchmarked. No idea if there are significantly more taxing levels.
The game does not have a benchmark mode.
Ah, I missed that.
Yep, Sandy Bridge is still awesome.
It has the exact same IPC (instructions per cycle, the frequency of which is clock speed) as Devil's Canyon, they're both Haswell. What you probably mean is they have lower IPS (instructions per second) due to lower clock speed capabilities with that equivalent IPC.
IPC x clock speed = IPS = measure of final speed
IPC is a multiplier.
As for core/thread-scaling, that depends on the game. We're seeing some games now where the extra threads of an i7 provide a boost over the i5 equivalent. For example, Battlefield 4 saw roughly 20% gains and the old 2600K was still able to very slightly beat the 4670K at the same clock speeds as a result despite the architectural improvements. Single-threaded performance is still and always really will be king with CPUs in the consumer space by their nature as serial processors, but well-written consumer software can certainly benefit from more threads. Looking at the benchmarks for this game, first off, that 5960X is at 4.6 GHz. Few Devil's Canyon chips will even clock much beyond that. Second, this game does seem to benefit from additional threads. True 6 or 8 core i7 extremes will actually gain an advantage in such a game. There's certainly value in the platform they're on for additional PCI-E lanes and therefore better SLI/CF performance (eventually with stronger cards or even tri/quad setups with today's).
It's not quite accurate to say an i3 or even an i5 will perform better with the exception of games that simply won't take advantage of more than a couple threads whatsoever and in cases where the X99 chip in question isn't overclocking in the same ballpark, plus excluding SLI/CF.

To be fair the Rift isn't even a product at this point. But I'd keep a eye on the game, Routine. It's a Amesia/Outlast type horror set in a Cyberpunk space station, and it will have native Rift support!

Very true.
Got the 3gb model and keep thinking of an upgrade but don't see the point yet.
looking forward to maxing this game out.
Not that weird, 690 being two 680's, good SLI-scaling.
Didn't know it was 2 cards...that makes more sense, thanks.

Would this run on a Macbook Pro retina 750m 16gig ram hooked up to a 1080p telly? I know it's not a gaming laptop but recently boot camped it with Windows 7 and was wondering if it would run this well or would I be better off getting it for the ps4?
There's this comparison video from Gamespot, for what it's worth: http://www.gamespot.com/videos/alien-isolation-graphics-comparison/2300-6421665/
I'm curious, very curious to know which assets have benefited from tessellation. The Alien most likely, hopefully surfaces in the game as well.
Ah, I missed that.
Jeez that chart looks so bad for AMD, a lower-end i3 is nearly matching the FX-9590, and judging from the 5960X and 3970X performance this game is scaling across multiple cores very well.
I have to say I'm nonplussed by this shart.
How can it run so badly on AMD 220watts monsters then showing benefits on the latest 8 cores CPUs ?

Hot damn at those framerates. Looks very well optimized.
The problem is I already preordered it via the gaf sales thread. I don't wanna pay $50 for the exclusive dlc only.
ChawlieTheFair
pip pip cheerio you slags!
Looks like they decided to go the opposite of the total war route i.e not having the game run like hot shite. Good on em.

It'll probably be released eventually for a few bucks, most prominent GS stuff does (like the arena in Borderlands 2).
580 is the best card I ever bought after the 8800 GT.
A 2010 card still maxes out games 4 years later. Shows how little graphics have progressed.

GTX 690 is two GPUs in one card. I think it's essentially two GTX 680 GPUs on one board.

30fps with an old ass 6850? I said damn.

So I've got a question, I read that for Mordor the ultra pack was only for textures @ 4k so if you were playing at 1080 you would not see any visual benefit over high. I'm wondering is this the same across the board for most games including Isolation with high vs ultra? I still game at 1080 so now I'm wondering how many games I've needlessly been playing ultra on lol. Would certainly help in achieving better perf too going forward until I make another upgrade if that is the case.
I don't think that's correct about Mordor, and no, it's most certainly not across the board.

Well Creative Assembly is definitely familiar with the platform.
Oh damn, that will be awesome on the consumer version thanks for the heads up!

My shitty 560 ti still giving it.
The game requires a $2000 PC upgrade commitment, sorry.
Lmao gotta keep up a PC performance thread tradition
No. Given the dev's history and comparing the console performance versus the wide variety of GPUs it apparently runs well on, it's probably PC, but they haven't said either way.
Ah, I missed that.
Lol @ that AMD CPU performance, the i3 kills most of their line-up.
I don't want to relive my CPU bound days again gaming with my laptop's AMD APU *shiver*

Hello? Someone forgetting the PS4 has unified memory? I would go with a 32gb card just to be safe
I've got a friend looking to run this on an old 5770. He doesn't mind 720p and low settings. It should get >30fps, right?
Yup, hoping my 970 manages at least 1440p at 60fps. Early benchmarks have shocked me a little.
