im still going into this with a i3 4360 and 750ti lol.

How good was the Dark Souls 2 PC port? Did it have SLI support? Was SLI supported right off the bat?

I'm hoping I'll be able to use my gpu to it's fullest rather than worry about dips when using only half of it.

Yep, DS2 had SLI support. I don't remember if it had SLI on release though. I believe it did. But DS3 is on another engine so who knows.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

That 770 and highest settings, is that at 1440p or 1080p?

It was the definitive version by miles.

 

[Mifec]

So 1440p/60 for me this year then next year on a replay 4k/60.

Life is good.

the definitive version was the Scholar of the First Sin version...

It's also on PC soooo...

We all know the definitive version of Dark Souls II is the one that only From Software has access to

Would I be able to run the game at 30fps on PC with my GTX 580?

I don't have the time nor interest to upgrade my PC for this.

Think you might even get 60fps.

the Dark Souls 2 port was so SICK

definitely the best PC port ive ever seen. Ran SO GOOD on my 2500k & 6950 and looked AMAZING

surely this is same team that ported the game and I have very high expectations after DS2

 

[J4g3r]

Going in with a i7 6700k and a GTX980ti build that was bought specifically for this game.

I shouldn't have any issues with playing this at 1080/60 on top of streaming it out at 720/60 right?

 

[Tarin02543]

i7-3770k/gtx760 @ 768p here

looking forward to it

 

[A-V-B]

Seems fine, especially performance-wise.

It's actually surprising how little hardware seems to be needed for 60 FPS, given that it's a 30 FPS game on consoles.

That's trivial to circumvent though.

Sorry you have to save us again Durante ;P

Oh the streaming will put quite a load on your CPU. Can't be sure.

For sure.

Someone I know was able to stream out Witcher 3 at 720/60 while playing it at mid settings with an i7 3770k and a 660ti, I'll just have to do some stress tests in advance.

 

[Ellite25]

Apparently this Wednesday popular streamers will be given access to the PC version; so all arguments will be settled then.

Why not just release the game for everyone then? Makes no sense.

 

[Cannon Goose]

Looks nice, hopefully driver HBAO+ works well with this.

 

[Gitaroo]

only if nvidia bother to add a new one, this game is DX11, the only DX11 flag that I know of is lord of the fallen, which has massive performance hit and very subtle. Even if it works we still got to deal with bleeding....

 

[Parsnip]

Performance sounds good, it's going to be a long 3 weeks.

Yeah, feel bad about the console version, the dips are pretty bad

[Tain]

Did anybody ever uncap DS2?

 

[Gormenghast]

- "GTX 770 enough for 60fps in highest settings". GTX 760 offers around 40-45fps in max. settings. So take the GTX770 numbers with a grain of salt. I think you will have to turn some settings down on the GTX770 or play with 50fps average.

Well, if this is true then the performance in the IGN stream is a complete mystery.

Dipping to 40s in simple outdoors areas on a 980...

Why are we going from 60 to 53 to 40s now? Don't remember it ever going under 53.

 

[Gormenghast]

What I saw from the stream was 60 inside buildings, 50s when outside and fighting with one enemy, and frequent dips to 40s as soon the scene was a bit more busy with 3-4 enemies.

It was actually quite frequent when they weren't simply walking around.

Wasn't the IGN stream 30 FPS? At the very least both the Youtube and IGN player videos are 30 FPS. So I dunno how you'd be able to tell the framerate that way

 

[Mathiassen]

60 fps with a 770? Isnt a 770 basically the same as a 680, and isnt a 680 basically the same as the 7870 in the PS4? What´s with the 30fps on consoles then?

The PS4 gpu is closer to a 7850.... plus the CPU is significantly weaker than what most PCs have.

You don't measure fps in a game with your biased eyes, you measure fps by looking at an overlay. The video being at 30fps doesn't affect the overlay they had on.

 

[Mohasus]

edit: nvm.

Nope, the PS4 is a bit weaker as a 750ti.
And thanks to the cpu bottleneck and overall worse system the PS4 is just worse as almost any other pc you could play this game from the last 4 years as long as the gpu is a 750ti or better.

 

[dragn]

all i want is 21:9 support :/

That's what I thought you were doing :lol. To my defence, I didn't see the FPS counter in the upper right! Still gotta keep in mind that they were streaming it, performance will be better when you're not.

As others have pointed out, the PS4 is closer to a 7850, and the AMD equivalent of 770/680 is a 7970, not 7870.

 

[dude]

What can I expect of a 4GB 960? looks like I'd be able to run 60fps/1080, but do I have hope for running this well in 1440?

 

[bbd23]

Any word on 21:9 or Surround support? Past games always required tinkering in my recollection.

Ouch.

I'm not worried though, I played DS2 at 60 FPS on a computer that didn't even reach the minimum specs, let alone the recommended.

 

[zma1013]

I dunno about 21:9 but surround sound in both Dark Souls 1 and 2 worked without me doing anything but starting the game. I imagine it will be fine. What I'd really like to know is if there's subwoofer support. Their games have no bass.

 

[CHC]

Minimum is a GTX 750 Ti, recommended is a GTX 970.

Dark Souls II, by comparison, required a 9600 GT (lol) and recommended a GTX 465.

It would help if they could be a tad more precise regarding what can be expected with such specs.
High for a game which looks really basic tech wise.

Strange to see Nvidia logos, the game has not been revealed to have any sort of high-end tech.

It's funny how wide the PS4 "equivilent" GPU for the PC is. You are right though about the 7850. The common GPUs refrenced when comparing to the PS4.

750TI(1305GFLOPS) << 7850(1761GFLOPS) < PS4(1840GFLOPS) <<< 7870(2560GFLOPS)

Tech-wise, you certainly should not because the game ain't no Crysis.

Edit: It recommends a GTX 970? :lol

 

[Kudo]

I assume the PC version doesn't support Dualshock 4 natively?

Hopefully all the Nvidia recommendations means we will get proper drivers for release.

At 900p ? Maybe, but I won't promise anything.
