Wow. Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems really really good.
And remembering that this is Ubi Kiev...
Colour me surprised.

Got my GMG code around 7pm MST.
I'm getting 45-60fps, ultra settings, high shadows, HBAO+, FXAA, borderless window mode.
i5-4670k@4.4ghz
R9 290
The game looks nice, but I was expecting better for a 'true' next-gen game.

Get G-Sync and let it run free and smooth.
How do you cap framerate? I'd like to cap it at 30 as well.

I presume it's the gaming devs's deals with graphic card manufacturers.
Higher min specs will boost newer graphic cards sales. Even though in reality older cards can run the games just fine.
Does this have Physx and if so, should I keep my 580 in just for it? I have a 970 on the way.
I wonder how this will do at 1440, I want that ROG swift. I guess having G sync will alleviate most problems associated with the increase in resolution. Part of me just wants to get a Ben q 24" 1080p144 g sync and have more overhead performance wise.

Nah. It uses Havok.

I plan on capping it if I don't reach a locked 60 on 970 SLI. I could go G-Sync, but I prefer to play controller games on my TV, so I need a stable framerate.

wow, 50-60fps with everything on max, FXAA, and presumably no nVidia bells and whistles on my 295x2 at 1440p on the latest AMD beta drivers.
Looks like both GPU's are properly scaling as well....i'm a bit surprised, going to wait til the entire game downloads. What time did this even unlock on Uplay? lol

No stuttering I take it? The mere mention of it in the beta driver update notes is enough to put me off grabbing it.
Midnight launch! Oops that's west coast time. This annoys me to no end, considering EST is pretty much the most important time zone. Do the publishers have a deal with Gamestop to not hurt retail midnight launches?

I think this is the same for uplay. It's 12:05 am eastern time, and the game is still not unlocked... I think I should just go to bed and wake up early and test the game then.

Pretty impressive. Looks like Ubisoft Kiev did a good job on the PC version.
Ok so I played up until it said I couldn't anymore...needed to finish installing.
My setup -
4930k @ 4.3ghz
16GB RAM
Win 8.1
3x GTX Titan Blacks
ROG Swift Gysnc monitor - 2560x1440
Samsung EVO SSD - game installed here
344.65 AC Unity Game Ready Driver
So first thing I did was crank everything to the Ultra High. I changed Refresh Rate to 144hz. Shadow Quality PCSS. AO HBAO+. MSAA-8x. 2560x1440 w/ Gsync enabled.
So performance -- I was in the 40fps range. The clocks on card 1 were different than the clocks on cards 2/3. 2 and 3 were the same. My GPU usage was pretty low...in the 70s.
The game used 6GB VRAM. A couple times it exceeded that.
Despite all of that it was smooth. But that is probably Gsync going to work. I tried to restart and change AA to TXAA but apparently I can't start over? I can only continue and it's at a point where I have to wait for install to finish.
So yeah...my system is an outlier and I realize that. There could also be something with the engine not liking Gysnc who knows. I haven't been able to try due to the issues above. Haven't even got a chance to see how it performs in crowds. So those are my very early Tri-SLI impressions.
For reference I played Far Cry 3 last weekend completely maxed and my GPUs were in the 85+ range. I realize it's an older game, but still wanted to test and see how some UBI titles handled 3 GPUs.

Thats ok as a starting point I guess.
Does it tend to be more CPU bound in terms of framerate or was that all hot air?
Looks like it'll be 3 hours from now before I can even start the preload. I have to stay up all night anyway, but I'm leaving to fly to Vegas at 3 am, so it better be then so it can download while I'm gone. I'm sure uplay won't auto download, so I'll need to re-start once they unlock it.

How does it run without PCSS?

Hmm that's good to know, I've got a 4670 overclocked too so I'm feeling pretty good right now. Too bad uPlay is refusing to allow pre-loads and releasing at fucking 3 AM.

As someone with a 660 TI, this makes me very happy.
Didn't get a chance to try. I can only continue from the save point.
You need to crank that 4930k up a lil bit
Nah. I'm running 3 Titan Blacks on Air plus the 4930k. Heat is a thing. I really need to go water but that's a different subject!
295X2 :-O, holy shit, that's like putting in four 290 X's :-O.

The powers that be decided they'd release it at 12 AM PST. If you're on the East Coast that means 3 AM.

Have they fixed the ugly z-fighting on the distant textures that was incredibly annoying in AC Black Flag?
Yeah FC3 was great. Seems 2 way SLI works great though according to some other reports.

295 x2 is what the card is called. Its just 2 290x cards basically.

Wait, so the system requirements were hugely overblown and the game runs fine, better than console even, on lower-end hardware? I for one am stunned by this utterly shocking turn of events! Stunned I tell you! /sarcasm
Once again the requirements panic was for nothing. At least it's fun to browse through the Unity PC requirements thread and see some of the more... interesting stuff that were posted there.
Thankfully there were a lot of people in that thread that didn't believe these specs and reacted rationally. It does seem like the message is getting through .

The VRAM usage makes me think I will be playing at 1080p with all the bells. Would be nice to get numbers without 8xMSAA, but it seems you are CPU limited?

Vsync without any lag, and at variable framerates. Pretty much no lag, no limited fps, and no tearing.

It's basically the monitor syncs to the refresh rate of the content being displayed rather than the content being displayed synching to the monitor. It's a monitor with a variable refresh rate. Only nvidia gpus are compatible.

3xTitan Blacks and a 4930k and still air cooling... that's a thing too... a bad thing
But yea, I hear ya. lol
Wow that's awesome. I'm guessing I wouldn't need to download anything and Gsync is available in the Nvidia Control Panel?
Any updates yet?

It's in the control panel, yes, but it requires a Gsync capable monitor. There are only a few on the market currently.
