Awesome thanks for the comparison shots, Looks like Ultra DOF isn't worth the performance hit.
He used Sethos' GIF, but I do have the same issue on CF 6970. Having been keeping track, but the issue exist on a single Titan card? Mine should be arriving this Friday.
That GIF is exactly what it looked like on my GTX 590, as well. (Dual-GPU card)
Screenshot function from the sweetfx itself works good.
I think its the print screen key.

Please update me
Nvidia hasn't released a driver for tomb rider, right?

This would have been hilarious if you kept the conversation going.
Man, I need to get my pc parts all under one roof asap.

I'll refer you back to the post you quoted...
Do you think AMD got made for Nvidia TWIMTBP final code any sooner the number of new releases that have driver issues the red side?
Let me point you too -
and it's not like Nvidia have ever locked out features using Vendor ID is it? Oh wait Batman Arkham Asylum
to quote the same post :- but everyone has to remember what goes around, comes around, and AMD might be performing better on this release and maybe a couple of others but it won't stop Nvidia doing the same back, the only people who get hurt are the customers.
So you see its not rocket science to read a post which obviously covered your original comment.
Back on Topic
tbh with all the post processing and atmospheric effects in game, you'd not really notice running the game with it off apart from the cut scenes where it really is strongest, I ran about for 30 mins from an earlier save after posting those images and really struggled to pick out any noticeable difference in movement between off and ultra, the only place it's really noticeable is the cut scenes.
It has for me in the past, but lately it's been broken.
I actually found a fix. Seems like there was an Windows update that borked it. I uninstalled that update and now it works fine.

You can. I'm about the same but with a 460 GTX. Most everything on normal and high. Textures on ultra.
I would think so. You're over the "recommended" specs if I recall. For the record I'm playing it on an i5-3570K 3.4 GHZ, 8GB RAM, GeForce GTX660 Ti 2GB and it runs like a champ on "Ultra" (meaning everything pretty much maxed out except shampooFX) at 1080p.

I'm guessing you're talking about
the radio tower / bridge to the palace?
that should be enough bokeh for anyone and that's normal
I wouldn't imagine so. Mine went from locked 60 to sub-30 maxed out there, until I dropped DoF down from Ultra.

Works now for me too.
How the fuck did they manage to fuck it up with a windows update?

Thanks guys, but I acted too slow and not it's out of stock.
Good to know though, I'm sure it will pop up in some kind of deal sooner or later.
Been playing with no problems at all since I posted about trying the Hitman profile. Not sure what it's doing, or if it does anything, but I haven't crashed since. Ultra/TressFX Off/FXAA, 1080P. High Precision Off. 60fps 98% of the time. Runs really well, and looks nice. 680/3570k
AMD 1100t @ 3.5Ghz
GTX 680 EVGA OC
8 GB DDR3
Win7 64
Getting what feels like 60fps during gameplay (haven't turned on fraps) with drops to 30 or below during close ups where it's get's in on the hair.
Have tessellation and high precision turned off. FXAA. In game v sync off, D3DOverrider triple buffering and v sync (it made a difference) Everything else maxed. 1920x1080.
Works great for me. TressFX doesn't seem to be bringing anything down for me with tess and Hi precision turned off. Will update when tessellation works on my card without fooling around with it.
EDIT: Latest WHQL driver. Whatever that one is.

how far are you in to the game?

Weird because I got the Unfinished Business achievement.
the game runs great the first few hours, when you get to the first big open area is when the frames take a hit, regardless of your hardware

I've had no issues [with crashes because of tesselation] since the Hitman Absolution/nVIDIA Inspector trick was posted.
Ive put 4 hours in. guess im due for a dip in performance.
I have no idea. I found the solution online for something unrelated to Tomb Raider but sounded similar so I tried to uninstall that specific update and it worked. 0_o

Ditto.
Well then I guess my game/system whatnot have bugged, since I've completed the game with 100% completion.
And it seems that "Big Game Hunter" achievement is bugged to, just killed 15 deers in a row, no achievement popped.

The cheevos are definitely bugged for me too.
It is for me. I drop from 60fps to upper 30s at 1080p. Even lowering my resolution to 720p didn't help.

Hey, how did you get that steam layout? It looks awesome!
The layout itself is a result of the most recent Steam client beta, which you can opt into if you haven't already. The skin is PixelVision.

I decided to jump in, $40 on GMG ($50 - 20% discount voucher) made me pull the trigger. And yeah, I'm pretty happy with how it runs on my 2011 mid/high-ish end laptop (dual core i5, GT 555M). With mostly High settings (at 720p, which is fine for me since I sit some distance from my TV), I'm getting very playable framerates.
Kind of wish I could just set a hard upper limit at 30fps though, as the game likes to jump around quite a bit framerate-wise, and that never feels very nice. And I can't get it locked at 60fps either, my laptop just doesn't quite have the juice to make that happen.
Also, I don't think I understand this game's V-sync setting. Even with it off I'm getting zero tearing, which seems weird to me.
