I've got an ROG Swift and GSync works perfectly for me in this game.
Are you asking us if you will be able to run this game with that setup better than a PS4? Or do you already know the answer to that and just wanted to tell us.
That question mark is throwing me off. Either way I have the same setup at the moment and I'm getting a stable 60 fps so far. Haven't hit super heavy areas yet though and i think it certainly look better than PS4 version I've seen on YouTube. (got a mixed of mostly high/medium with 2 low settings in there)
MFAA isnt even available on 900 cards. They just didnt release it
They announce sth. and dont do shit for months I've heard there will be a day-1 patch for DA:I with the size of 3gb. Apparently someone in the russian board wrote sth like that?!

Yeah, I had to restart my computer. Who knows!

Finished preloading the game but it doesn't unlock for me until tomorrow night. Anyway to unlock it early without potentially screwing my Origin account?
Yeah, I had a weird issue where my 980 wasn't going into 3D clocks when I started this game. Stayed at 405mhz and .8volts. A restart sorted it out as well!

Sorry, basically just asking if my PC can run the game at 60fps, preferably at 1080p, while looking at least as good as the console versions, if not better.
60fps is pretty damn taxing in this game. I don't think your 760 will be able to hold it consistently.
It's locking up during gameplay too. Just fucking excellent.

figured my problem out. PSU issue. Sigh. I got a 750 watt to replace my 500 watt coming tomorrow. Oh well.
How did people test this? Mantle is not even enabled yet in Options.
edit: okay clean reinstall did the trick, yay 8fps increase

I used to use Spotflux with Steam. Turn it on, log in, start game, turn it off.
Can't use it any more because at some point they made it paid and my trial ran out, so have to find an alternate solution. You should be able to use it if you haven't before though
Huh? It is for me.
Yeah as Evo said this game can hit pretty hard. Once I hit a heavy area I'll report back here with which configuration will allow my 760 to maintain a stable 60 fps. Hopefully what I have now will still work.

Which patch is this?Just wait for the supposedly 3gb patch. Should be out any day or even minute now
Not sure. Supposedly someone wrote it in a russian board. Just for the official release in Europe maybe or whatever. A patch might be around the corner
And I'm sure it is.Btw. Nvidia seems to rls the 344.75 now with MFAA for the 970 and 980. Interesting....IF it looks as good as MSAA you only need 2MSAA then for better performance

My game looks absolutely gorgeous on a mixture of High/Ultra with only AA set to low and SSAO... and how good do waterfalls look!! Just amazing looking game (bout 10 hours in).
60fps or thereabouts most of the time on a i7 3770k stock with 7970 3GB running on a SSD.
Mantle makes everything look better for sure, plus the cutscenes are all good now (stuttery before).
If you aren't seeing Mantle in your API menu, uninstall all the Catalyst software, reg clean, then reinstall the newest Beta 14.11 drivers - it'll now show up in the menu (I had problems with this for a while today
).
I got a ~10fps bump with cutscenes looking great now.. you using the newest Beta drivers?

My 7970 3GB is loving Mantle right now: I fully recommend it if you are using a SSD.
Load times are approximately double what they were on DX11, but with an SSD..the most I've had to wait is just long enough to read 2 cards, very quick indeed.
I'm guessing it would make HDD loading pretty bad though... IMHO though, totally worth it for the ~10fps bump and non-stutter cutscenes I'm getting now (they were janky as fuck before I used Mantle!).
Note: Double post - figured the thread would be fast enough handle a quick second post

I have the same card as you (280X is a rebadge)
And yes I'm ok with the performance other than Microstutters, which Mantle is supposed to help with (framepacing)
But the loading times are atrocious, and my SSD is full right now.

Weird. I'm on 14.11.2, tried with a 280x (and SSD). Loading is awful, and fps dropped by 2 or 3. Didn't check cutscenes though.

Opening area looks pretty incredible, nice to see a Bioware game with such high quality visuals. Tessellation everywhere!

Thanks. Your CPU is way newer than mine, 1.7x better single threaded, 1.4x better multi-threaded. Nothing a sneaky overclock couldn't solve I guess...
(http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/386/Intel_Core_i7_i7-4770_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-920.html)
Yes, 14.11.2 beta.
10 fps bump only on cutscenes? or game in general?
I get worse fps and stutter.
I got a 280x wich is supposed to be a 7970...

For people using Mantle, is there a way to take screenshots? Normally (with DirectX games) I use Afterburner.

You can monitor it using something like ssdready. I didn't notice any unusual writes.
That rumor was debunked IIRC. Go ahead and install it to your SSD. It gives a huge boost to load times in this game.
I saw this posted which is why I mention it.

I went back to 14.9.2 and mantle performance was unchanged, but dx11 performance degraded significantly. Perhaps the new drivers simply improve dx11 performance without changing any mantle code.

yeah that guy has something wrong with his ssd and hasn't posted again. It also is the only thing saying the game has bad ssd performance and blames it on denuvo for no real reason. basically, it's bullshit

If you can spare the space (it's actually quite a slim install) go SSD mate for sure.
Ah ok, well good to know.

If you want to have fun with in-game supersampling, trying to make GstRender.ResolutionScale higher than 1 may get it locked back down to that value if you open the options menu or something. Instead, you can add "GstRender.ResolutionScaleOverride 1.5" to ProfileOptions_Profile. (For a 1080p output, a multiplier 1.5 will give an internal res of 2880*1620) "ResolutionScaleOverride" won't be touched, but it'll be acknowledged instead of the other option.
Both of those options directly govern the console-variable, "Render.ResolutionScale", so you can try setting various values of that in-game to try it out, first.

Anyone have a good way to bypass the regional release date if I can't use Spotflux as mentioned above? Decent proxy/VPN type service?

I'm currently running an I3-2100 (socket 1155 motherboard) with a GTX460 and 4 gig ram, which gives me a decent framerate at medium quality most of the time. However, Im planning an upgrade soon, and will put in more RAM for sure. Is a quad-core going to give me any significant increase in DA:I, or should i spend more on the GPU.?
I was looking at a GTX760 and an I5-3470, but im kinda doubting if i might as well get a better GPU. My current monitor is a 1680x1050 resolution, although i want to move to a 1080P one in the future.

For people with older PC's:
Unlocked for me at 2am today, so I haven't played a lot.
I7-2600 (3.40GH stock)
8GB Ram
GTX 680 (latest drivers)
Kingston SSD
1600x900, all settings on Ultra except Tesselation (normal) and Grass (High) with no AA and Vsync on.
Benchmark:
Min: 32
Avg: 52
Not too shabby, I'm sure there's a lot of settings to be tweaked (like I said, 2am XD), but pretty decent first impression!

Installing the new nvidia driver right now
Just tried the new drivers and I still get the freezing every 15 seconds. I'm at wits end about this and I think re installing might be the only option, past that I'm not sure what to do other then wait for a patch. Different driver versons aren't helping (this is the 4th I've tried) and it only happens with Inquisition. Hopefully Bioware can patch it from their side rather than me taking shots in the dark.

From the in-game benchmark with ultra settings:
Avg FPS: 57.5
Min FPS: 44.7
i5 2500k
GTX 780
8 GB Ram
Windows 8.1
Think that's about an 8-9 FPS increase from what I was getting yesterday.
