The PS3 version had alot of tearing in a video,but it was a capture problem.

Far Cry 3 |OT| Sex, Drugs, and the Call of Battle in the Uncharted
- Thread starter legacyzero
- Start date
Because it cuts through better looking games like butter.
Far Cry 3 seems to be doing a whole lot of awesome stuff, looks good, and it's open world. But I have no doubt that 1080p with no AA should net more than an average of 30fps on a 570 GTX. I don't have anything to back that up other than owning a 570 GTX and expecting more.
Not many games use this type of highly demanding AO, for example. But from the AA framerates, they might be doing something weird there... Maybe driver forced AA will Work better?

Do we have a clue as to whether this is forward rendered or deferred?

Well, none of the footage I've seen so far seems to implement AO better than any other AO heavy game I've played. If anything it's worse, as evident by the buggy detection. Like I said in the other thread though, this could be one of those games where the SSAO quality filter is cranked to completely absurd levels of extreme with little to no visual difference yet at the expense of performance. Kind of like turning up Amnesia's SSAO sampling to stupid high.

Yeah, I'm downsampling, so that should handle an ok amount of the cleanup work.
Might be able to get by with 2xAA hopefully.

comparing how a game's gonna run based on another better looking game running better always leads to disappointing results

Pretty much every game across next generation will be using a deferred rendering engine, so we can all look forward to horrible MSAA performance.
Yeah, I know.

Don't get mad Dennis, get even. And stuff.
You know what, I actually wish there was a site that did nothing but benchmarks of new games with a semi-wide range of cookie cutter rigs and there pops up potential tweaks and fixes then that would be posted there aswell all consolidated.
Let's make that site gaf.
Yes! That would be great.

Question for graphics GAF: Where the fuck is my sub surface scattering? I wants that shit all over place.

how come people already have the game??
Review/press copies.
Wait for next-gen.
Yeah I know Crysis one already featured this but it wasn't a game designed with consoles in mind unlike FC 3.

Aren't there any PC-Journo GAF that cant make our PC Screenshot thread blow up?

A website that lets you easily access all the crucial info on a new PC game:
Benchmarks
Graphical tweaks
Essential mods (no HUD, color filter removal)
Right you have to search all over the place for this.
Yeah exactly anywhere from random german forums to steam forums to gaf to pictures uploaded somewhere etc etc, so who wants to join me in this endeavour?

This is exactly what me and my SO said the first time I watched a walkthrough.
Perfect.
I think very few games have it outside of Crysis
It cannot be implemented on consoles and has to be developed for material, so most games do not use it.
Hitman doesn't seem to be using it, it just has a really high resolution texture. A face that has it looks like
In other words, light is reflected and dispersed beneath the material itself, which avoids that plastic like face that every game has

Pretty sure that's not SSS. Unless you've read something that says it definitely is.
Edit: I agree with sp3000 - it's just a high res texture.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Crysis is the only game I've seen it in.

Does the game still control like complete ass on a game pad, ala Far Cry 2? For example, not being able to rotate or strafe while sprinting, input lag, sticky y/x axis transfer speeds, or inane auto-aim solutions.
Its the one thing keeping me away from this game. If its more Far Cry 2 I'll ignore it even for a low price.
We need more of this.

Can we just get Tim Lottes to do our AA guide? I heard he's ok at that stuff.
Hitman Absolution is using SSS on the main character.
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Hitman-5-Absolution-PC-230791/Tests/Hitman-Absolution-Test-und-Benchmarks-1036946/
It was already confirmed a while ago by Gamestar.de.

They're either using a shader to fake it, or 47's ears have SSS implemented to simulate light casting through the thinner skin. You can't see it in that screenshot, but you can definitely notice it in parts of the game.
EDIT: Here, in this shot I took.

I dont know about ALL of that, but I'm hearing from some that had some hands-on time on the Ubi Forums that the Accelerated Aim is out.
That was my main concern too. Seems like they smoothed this baby out I hope.

Huh, could not tell from that picture, the skin shades look pretty flat.

Well a Far Cry thread is always going to have graphics talk, sort of like a Crysis thread
Although coming back to the game, I haven't seen anything that justifies the huge performance hit. This game doesn't look anywhere as good as Crysis 1, but seems to run a lot worse. I wonder if the DX11 path is just unoptimized.
I wonder if it's just deferred MSAA eating all the framerate
On this topic Metro 2033 features SSS to enhance skin rendering, a very overlooked graphic wonder of the game.

Metro was a graphical wonder in general IMO.On this topic Metro 2033 features SSS to enhance skin rendering, a very overlooked graphic wonder of the game.
In-game AA and most likely AO are the first settings I'm turning off without even checking. I'm sure those two alone eat 30 fps together.
The IMO is useless, the game is just fucking astounding graphically speaking. But it has its very underwhelming moments, I'm thinking of some textures in Dead City, particularly the snow...Eww.
I have no doubt Metro Last Light will be far more polished in that regard.
Unfortunately according to pcgameshardware.de there is only a 5fps difference between the SSAO and its heavier counterpart HBAO.
As usual MSAA is the real heavy hitter.
