No, thats 720p levels. I suggest you upgrade to a 980ti.

Thanks for doing this. How "worth it" is HairWorks...? I'm considering turning it off for extra FPS.

So this is for ~60 with max dips being 40?
I think I can do 30 fps on Ultra with HairWorks on my Gtx 970 then.

2560x1440 Uber Settings w/ Gameworks here I come.
The fact I have G-Sync now means I don't care bout those dips to 40.

Worst place ever to take a comparison shot. They need to take one outside and in better lighting.
PCGH said they have everything maxed out and Nvidia Settings enabled ( besides Hairwork)
I think Hairworks is one of those things you'll need ot see on your screen to really decide if it's worth the performance hit or not. No compressed youtube feed will do it justice, since it's about the extra details. We're talking strands of hair here.

YW.
Compare yourself (Video, not YT for better quality)
@ ~ 4:00 (minutes) Combat against wolfs w/o hairworks
@ ~ 4:20 (minutes) Combat against wolfs with hairworks
@ ~ 5:00 (minutes) Horse + Geralt Hairsworks on
@ ~ 5:18 (minutes) Horse + Geralt Hairworks off
I'll turn of hairworks on my gtx 970 as I am going to aim for 60fps (or 50-60fps...)... Also no hairworks on femal characters (?)...

Here is a comparison between PC and PS4, don't know if already posted

People have been saying it's CPU PhysX only. Not sure what the original source is though.

Wow, PS4 looks amazing. Will sport that long hair on Geralt on PS4 also. Looks too good in the wind.

What about radeon 7850 though? I'm getting both pc and ps4 versions cause i don't know which will perform better.
viveks86

Yeah it's doesn't seem like the AO is doing a great job at covering everything, though it does make quite a difference between min and max.
Go with PS4 version in this case. 7850 isn't powerful enough to enjoy this game on PC, and PS4 might even perform better.
totally agree, but sadly not the effect Unity or Far Cry had with HBAO+. I really hoped for a bigger foliage and selfcasting Shadow upgrade

And that is why PC gaming is so awesome (ok one of many reasons). Everbody can decide for himself.

I'll probably be turning Hairworks off using my 970. I didn't notice a huge difference on that comparison video and I'll be playing on my TV so I'm sure I'll be missing a bit of detail anyway. I'll take the performance boost in this case.

Thanks for the reply!
I do have it OC'd to a 7870 specs basically, which i think may have even been the minimum.
I'll stick with ps4 in that case. I own it on steam but I'm sure I'll want to load it up whenever i do upgrade.

I am suprised. The PS4 version looks pretty good even compared to PC...
Still going with the 60 fps PC version but I think PS4 buyers will be quite happy with the graphics.
GavinUK86

I disagree. That card will still manage PS4 like quality and framerates. Might aswell go for PC. You have the option to drop a few settings and get 60fps.

What can I expect from a 750 TI superclocked at 1080 with 30 FPS cap?
Couldn't have said it better! Nothing beats having full choice and being able to customise how the game looks/runs depending on your preferences. That's why I always look forward to tweaking game settings, and I spend so much time doing it haha. I find it fun for some reasonAnd that is why PC gaming is so awesome (ok one of many reasons). Everbody can decide for himself.

Back to being uncertain, lol!
Thanks for your input though.
It sounds like i should start the game on pc to tweak and study, then play on ps4 to compare before continuing.
If only they would release the exact(ish) pc settings that compare to what they have the ps4 version set at.

That picture showing the difference between min and max details using the slider is great.
Also, the minimum specs seem to be much higher than is actually needed.

Well they set them quite a while ago and have been doing alot of optimization the past months haven't they?
So you are telling me that my Lynnfield i5-750 Processor @2.67Ghz has a chance to run this game? If that is true I might upgrade to an GTX970.
GavinUK86
Member
We're all just speculating at this point but I can't see the game not running at all on a card like that. It'll run on all sorts of low-mid range cards if you adjust your expectations correctly. If I had to guess, PS4 is somewhere around medium/high like most ports.

Their test CPU was probably a fency haswell (maybe even haswell-E) i7 ,so it is still way more effective per clockcycle then your CPU but I seriously think it has a chance...
Im here with a 7950 thinking the same. Especially with a few months of optimizations.

Ugh; my poor 560Ti doesn't look like it will make the cut! I was really hoping to hold out on upgrading until the first Xbone/PS4 titles made it over to PC (like Batman) and see which cards could handle them. But a 960 looks to rather handily beat my 560Ti and it's only for the lowest settings.
ISee
Member
Actually the 960 seems to be able to run the game @ 1080p, high settings, 40+ fps.
I'm in same boat CPU wise, but I have OC'd mine to 3.8GHz. Based on this bench I'm very interested to see what happens come Tuesday night :b

As I already said, they put the 2500k as a minimum along with the AMD Phenom II X4 940 which the i5 2500k blows out of the water at stock, overclocking would make the already wide gap even wider. I'm less concerned about my OC'd 2500k (4.5GHz) now than I was before after seeing the minimum requirements again along with the mention of it not actually being a very CPU intensive game.
Nope and I don't think it will until either there's another huge jump in core efficiency or developers start pushing and requiring more cores. It also helps that Sony and MS put such a weak CPU in their consoles.
ISee
Member
sort of... there are some benefits to the 960 like better tessellation handling, as it seems. But you should be safe...

In the German PCGamesHardware video, one of the testers mentions that he was able to signifcantly downlclock his CPU without it affecting performance at all, so CPU wise this game really shouldn't be a problem at all. It's not surprising considering the sucky CPUs that are used in current gen consoles.

Anyone have an idea how the Alienware Alpha will perform? i3 CPU and 2GB 860M?
Thinking about preordering on PS4 instead.

770 is around 10-15% faster and has a 256-bit memory bus

I think memory handling is way different on both cards so I am not sure that bandwitch alone is comparable here... but honestly I do not know that specific. If it is 10-15% faster the better! Then he is even more safe!
