Same. Soundtrack is amazing.
Or he is very technical and tearing is none issue. We really can't know for sure before we start to hear from other sources and can form some kind mean, or play ourselves.

why is there tearing if it's locked 30fps?

Doesn't the lock force the tearing?
Any way screen tearing is the worst thing in gaming. I will take framerate drops over that so hopefully it is really minimal or better yet fixed by the Day One patch(which is apparently not live yet).
That goes without saying, and is why I used the word seem(s).
As far as PS4 stuff, I wish PS4 controllers had kept the light bar visible up top, a lot of developers put some time into doing something cool for it (signs in this case), and it's almost never noticable. In the polish interview they said you can swipe the touch pad to navigate the menu which seems intuitive. A lot games try to use the touch pad as a cursor and it's just terrible.
You'd prefer it to drop to 20fps instead of tearing?

Tearing on the PS4 version? Fuck. I can't stand that shit. Now I'm slightly worried, hopefully it really is as rare as that guy said.
Absolutely. Screen-tearing makes me nauseous.

There are lots of kinds of screen tearing. There is screen tearing a la far cry 3 and then there is screen tearing a la skyrim (360) were it only happens in the top portion of the screen and rarely, to the point that you are reaally trying hard to notice it and you just cant.
I think people should not jump to conclusions. Minor is minor we shouldnt be making it "major" without proper examination.

Nevarrrr!
Then you should trust that the developers know what is best for you.
I'm going to post this link every time the OST comes up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn_whTR8gy4
25 tracks. Beautiful. Most will call it "Irish", but being from Eastern Europe I can hear a lot of influences from this area. It's part of the things that have turned me around for Witcher 3, after being very disappointed with W2.

I was joking.
Lol, your "poor old" HD 7850 is pretty much a PS4
But you hit the nail ont he head as to why PC is superior when it comes to stuff like this: YOU get the choose. Devs decided that some screen tearing is ok. You don't agree. on consoles, you're boned, on PC, you decide what's most important.
It's posisble Vsync is being disabled when the frame rate drops below 30.
So was I. However, it was a commonly used argument by quite a few console users against graphical options on consoles.
That is not full OST, it has been confirmed to be at least 31+4 tracks.
Yep that's basically how I feel after getting into pc gaming.Lol, your "poor old" HD 7850 is pretty much a PS4

I can't stand screen tearing or blatantly bad aliasing. So I will always do my best to elminate those things. My PC is fairly strong now but when it was less so, I'm willing to sacrifice a few other things because those particular things are more important to me.

Why no triple buffering though? Anyway screen tearing is why I mostly play on pc nowadays

That performance note is brutal.
I really wonder how 280X will fare, I am ready to get 970.
I think tripple buffering at those frame rates increases latency significantly, and it's also not free, it requires resources.
I think they just mean some effects perform better on Nvidia (Hairworks, for example).
That note is some royal BS right there. But probably related to proprietary effects.

Nah you should be ok. Hairworks performance is probably the only downside.

I am sure, but still I don't remember seeing such shameless note before.

True enough, but with all the focus on nvidia, I'm a little less confident on performance at launch than I normally would be. The 7850 has been a nice damn card for me. Hopefully there are some decent benchmarks when reviews start dropping...I think the 7850 is similar to a 265, so that should be tested.
Considering that HairWorks doesn't use CUDA's, but DirectCompute I don't see why AMD would be that much underdog in HairWorks performance.
PC players better check their sticky keys, don't want unnecessary alt-tabbing!
I never said it's the full OST. It's just some Witcher 3 music for people that liked what they heard in the trailers.
Well that sucks major donkey dick if HW is that gimped on AMD GPU's :/ PhysX on AMD GPU based systems all over again.
Didn't mean to offend or anything, just to point out that some tracks missing from that youtube playlist. I hope we get pre-order goodies like OST before release.
I seem to recall somewhere somebody posted a benchmark or a test showing that hairworks in FC4 wasn't significantly worse on amd cards. I can't find the post however.
The physx stuff is twice the BS, as I have some old nvidia cards that I could put to good use, but can't.

Probably why they open sourced PhysX, cuz they had another ace up their sleeve. lol
It's going to vary from game to game as AMD has no way to optimize it yet. We won't know until someone benchmarks it.

Note that he said no day 1 patch installed. The day 1 patch will probably do some good stuff for the current version that people are playing
The source is available for physX, but it isn't open source.

My bad. I meant the same. At least AMD can optimize for that (if not done already).
They should still be able to profile this stuff though and optimize that way, no?
It's what I do when I'm dealing with someone else's API at work.

Isn't there a day one patch coming on the 19th?

That may not be feasible for hardware optimized black box APIs. For all we know, Nvidia just has some code inside that says:
if GPU == AMD {
slow the fuck down
}
screen tearing on ps4?
I seems to be very minor and there will be also a day one patch, that could fix this.

Screen tearing? Get that shit out of here. Fix it please. Was this reported for the PS4 version or both consoles?
AFAIK, only library is available. However AMD should be able to write a driver for it, unless there is something in the license preventing them from doing so. That was their claim during the Watchdogs kerfuffle, that they wanted to help Ubisoft optimize the game but the nvidia gameworks license prevented ubisoft from doing that.
regardless, that's the worst thing on a videogame, i rather have frame drops to the teens than have screen tearing on a game
