From Nvidia drivers notes. Is better have off Sli for the moment.

Windows 8.1 Issues

enabled. [200116723]

wtf

 

[Schweinehund]

AMD performance seems good:

i7 4790K / R9 290 (slightly overclocked)







Graphics in the benchmark do not look impressive to be honest. And the options in the menu are very limited. Haven't started story mode yet.

That's pretty encouraging. I'll probably turn down shadows and the gameworks options for my 7950.

 

[ultracal31]

Ooooo the DS4 works natively.



From JohngPR in the OT.

This is my jam o_o

 

[Corpsepyre]

The settings are literally in the same post.

I see them now. Lets see how my R9 280 compares. Have a feeling those NVIDIA effects will fuck things up.

 

[yatesl]

CPU: i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz
GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 @ stock

Graphics: Maximum, all Gameworks on, 1080p.

Minimum: 34fps
V-sync was turned on, so won't tell me my max.
Average: 52


As expected, whenever Gameworks is involved (i.e. the smoke), the frame rate drops to the 30s. Using today's Nvidia Game Ready drivers.

 

[CHC]

Same test with all Gameworks stuff turned OFF. Going to retest with Gameworks options turned on one at a time.

Min: 59fps
Max: 101fps
Average: 75

Jesus christ, 45 FPS hit some smoke and rain? That's insane.

 

[Bossniak]

I have a GTX 980 and fog and paper debris is greyed out and disabled for me. Whats up with that?

 

[cyberheater]

The graphics are insane. It looks stunning.

 

[RulkezX]

So just plug in, no need for ds4windows etc?

Can you tell what Gameworks specs have the most impact visually on the game with the least amount of hit to the framerate? The spec screenshots seem to have 4 or 5 different gameworks options.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

That's exactly what I have except for my 3570k being 4.4ghz. Are you running on 1440p? I'm curious if I will be able to max this game at 1440p with my 980ti

Yes, 1440p.

I'll let you know.

 

[Dictator93]

wtf

Batman hates smokey confirmed.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

If the 780ti was getting 30-40fps with all the gameworks stuff on and max settings and 970, 980ti is going to muderize this game.

I'll probably downsample 1440p->1080p with max settings and enjoy G-sync.

wtf

Looks like you should have waited to get the game for free.

*evil laugh*

 

[c0Zm1c]

Grr! There is an SLI profile! I just reinstalled the drivers manually and got it. I must have not chose the clean install option before.

Working on those tests now

 

[BY2K]

Does the game have a launcher? I can't believe those would be all the options the PC version have.

 

[MattyG]

So how does the PS4 controller support work? Just plug it in and go or what?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Same test with all Gameworks stuff turned OFF. Going to retest with Gameworks options turned on one at a time.

Min: 59fps
Max: 101fps
Average: 75fps

You still haven't told us what resolution you're playing at.

 

[stufte]

wtf

This is why I'm done with SLI. It's just not worth the headache most of the time.

 

[Crimson Clown]

There is something weird going on. It's giving me 30fps (pretty much like it's locked to 30) in normal gameplay. Thought it was something just with the diner first, but got to fly around now and it never goes beyond 30 no matter what settings I use.

I'm getting this as well.

 

[d00d3n]

I did a quick benchmark

specs: 3570k@4.6GHz, 8 gig ram, Titan X, windows 7, ssd, 750 ti as dedicated physx card
settings: 1080p, vsync off, everything else maxed, including the "nvidia options"

Using the in-game benchmark I got 44 min fps, 104 max fps and 65 average. Seems a bit low? I guess I will try and deactivate hardware physx.

 

[nubbe]

the 750ti is geting maundered, someone call batman

 

[Xyber]

I have set vsync to off in the game and the nvidia control panel, disabled the smoothframerate stuff in the ini file, still locked to 30 while in normal gameplay but benchmark works like it should.

Something needs to be patched here unless there's some file I missed checking.

Would like to know if anyone else is getting this.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I can't select above Normal texture quality.

Is everyone getting this?

 

[Nzyme32]

We need more people reporting in game framerate experiences than the benchmark test alone

 

[Dictator93]

Looks like you should have waited to get the game for free.

*evil laugh*

lol, do you actually think they will do the Titan X programme thing and give it away like they did with TW3?

I'm getting this as well.

Sounds like double buffered vsync.

 

[Red Hood]

Guys, apparently there's a new AK optimised (beta) driver from AMD already: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-catalyst-15.6-beta-software-suite-win8.1-64bit-june22.exe

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Dedicated physX cards that are significantly slower than the main GPU have been known to hold back performance. Or so I heard googling around.

lol, do you actually think they will do the Titan X programme thing and give it away like they did with TW3?

No I offered him my AK code that will be coming from amazon soon (bought a 980ti recently but the code hasn't arrived yet). He had a critical hype overload and bought it to play day 1 rather than wait until amazon sent me my code, lols.

Playing the game now, will update.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Does the game look like shit without the added NVIDIA options or is it fine to play with them off?

Secondly, AMD users facing more of a hit with those settings on or is it the same with NVIDIA users?

I've heard that using dedicated physx cards actually hurt performance these days from one of the threads on GAF.

Sorry I thought I had, 1080p.

Not just Smokey :'(

Hope the Titan X SLI can power through stutters (highly doubt it)

Not that big of a hit then, interesting. Could be helpful for nVidia users too, since it seems like its the other 2 that kill performance.

 

[viveks86]

Damn, so there is nothing we can do about CA and film grain? :/

 

[Gumbie]

Same test with all Gameworks stuff turned OFF. Going to retest with Gameworks options turned on one at a time.

All Gameworks turned off EXCEPT for Interactive smoke/fog

Min: 34fps
Avg: 90fps
Average: 56fps

 

[jiggles]

The whole thing's capped at 30fps for me. What the hell.

Running on SLI 980Tis, fans are barely kicking in.

 

[Social]

heads up for the people that dislike it, this game uses Denuvo protection so it probably harms performance somewhat.

 

[LordOcidax]

Looks like the rain and light effects works on AMD gpus, Only the Smoke and the Paper effects are exclusive to Nvidia GPUs.

 

[blado]

Doesn't look like AMD cards are having any trouble at all so far. I wonder why they said they were.

 

[Corpsepyre]

It'll be helpful if someone lists down the features that kill performance.

 

[cyberheater]

Game looks great without them and stunning with them on.

Off to bed. I've got work in the morning.

Before anyone has a panic attack at hte fact that it was only a couple of frames different to enable on the 290x, the two most expensive features are disabled entirely according to your screenshots (seemingly cannot run on AMD?)

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Doesn't look like AMD cards are having any trouble at all so far. I wonder why they said they were.

Maybe the warning was related to Crossfire support?

Yes this was all I could enable.

*SIGH*

Please guys.. give us some screenshots. It's pretty frustrating already to read the comments and not be able to load the game until midnight.. give us a bone will ya?

 

[The Llama]

I kinda hope someone tests performance without the beta driver tbh, I'm curious to see just how bad performance was!

Maybe the warning was related to Crossfire support?

Eh, I doubt it, given that apparently there are a few SLI issues too.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Thank you. Will look into this once the game's downloaded.

They had a new driver update since
