While i'm not too concerned that the screens don't exactly blow me away, I am puzzled as to why a game that looks like that is going to push a 970 to it's limits and beyond. It certainly doesn't look like should.

Why is he censoring the characters eyes? Afraid Ubisoft will be able to track down his account by his characters iris pattern or something?

This game looks amazing. Can't believe people are complaining about graphics. That is my least concern.
Nevermind flicker resizes. download for 1080p.
So he he is getting 60fps, with dips to 50fps @ 1080p maxed out (whatever that means) on a 980Ti.
Hmmm, hoping for some more optimization so I can run it 60fps @ 1440p. I'm just going to chalk it up to no proper driver support + 1 1/2 month of optimization crunch left to do.
Although if these are actually maxed out, I'm not seeing why or how this needs a 980Ti to max out at 1080p - the guy said he is getting 60fps with dips with a 980Ti so people with anything less are not going to get 60fps maxed out.
I'm calling it poorly optimized at this point.

This is exactly how I feel. Guess we'll know more in the coming week(s).
I'm wondering if they have a bunch of settings intentionally turned pending optimization.
Is there even AF in those shots? Those textures look muddy at any distance.
Something is fishy here.
Wondered the same.

I mean, I get it since no one has discouraged from having reveal footage impressions that were at the press event or otherwise. But at the same time, basing the quality of a game based solely on some target rendering years ago in a make it or break it attitude is a bit nonsensical.
I mean, I've seen the un-optimized renderings for REmake on the Gamecube. Sure as shit didn't turn out that way for there or the HD Remasters. Didn't make me appreciate the game any less.
I'm all for going at Ubisoft over trying to sell, more or less, a fantasy. As for trying to make it out that the game is anything less of what it is though over it...not so much.
That all said, I agree with Smash and Grief that things aren't adding up if that's truly maxed across the board.

Found this, errrr...2fps gif of the PC version on reddit. Oddly the graphics look better in the gif than the screenshots.

People are saying that this game looks way better in motion and that screenshots don't do it justice, so I don't know what to make of it anymore. I'm just going to sit here and wait a week to come to my own conclusion, because apparently this embargo has been lackluster footage-wise.

Also very possible that the beta has very different settings from the release version. Such as lower resolution textures to keep download size down, and any graphical features that aren't quite optimized yet or waiting on drivers to catch up, etc...
Thanks

Honestly, I call BS on those PC shots being at max settings....it doesn't look a whole lot better than what we've seen already on the Xbone.
We've seen those images from a few different sources as max, so I think we can take that at face value.
Something isn't adding up though.
Those blown up cars are really fucking ugly, it's like an xbox 360 game model.

After seeing crappy beta pics and leaks of games not looking great time and time again, and then seeing them actually look fantastic when release, you would think we would learn our lesson.
Wild Hunt being the most recent. Remember in the weeks before launch when it seemed like the PC version would look the same as the XBO version, and it turned out to be a mix of a bugged ultra setting, compression, and bad comparisons.

If you actually read the thread this is what he's saying:
So basically, it looks great, not as good as the E3 reveal but looks better in motion than the screenshots suggest.
I hope they unlock the shader options and the textures are higher res in the final version but I doubt it because all that will result in is complaints from people saying they can't max the game out on their gtx 970's at 60 fps (no shit).

For anyone who doesn't know, it appears that there's a lot of options for visuals on the console versions including Chromatic Aberration and Sharpening.
Can't wait for the Beta next week!!!

What we see in the Beta is what the final product will be, it's not like it's going to magically look better in a month. Which is unfortunate as it only seems to have gotten worse, just gotta hope for the best at this point.
Those burnt out cars are probably the ugliest models I've seen in recent memory, on par with some shit from the X360.

Noone would probably be complaining if they didn't show off a far superior looking 'version' at the E3s. Par for the course for Ubisoft though
Damn I've missed two links to beta giveaways now
I'm willing to bet there's gonna be quite a few others before the beta starts
It's really, really hard to make a target render for a new platform, as Ubisoft has been shown to do with a couple games announced years back. They haven't really done that with recent trailers though.

That's a terrible example considering the downgrade thread for that game did end up proving that it was for sure downgraded and that it took file adjustments to try and make it better but it was still missing a lot of the original trailer fidelityAfter seeing crappy beta pics and leaks of games not looking great time and time again, and then seeing them actually look fantastic when release, you would think we would learn our lesson.

I am willing to bet Wildlands will be downgraded similarly, it looks way too crisp and has some insane LOD.
At any rate, this type of practice is synonymous with the increasing budgets of today's industry. Games take a long time and a lot of money to make, so they need to show concepts early and over impress to build hype. A high budget game today would be suicide if it was dropped out of nowhere with no hype. So they create fancy CG or over estimate their abilities to program and show some insane looking graphics.
Then the hardware limitations hits them in the face like a truck and they start optimizing.
Damn I've missed two links to beta giveaways now
I always miss small windows of opportunity for any kind of giveaways so I gave up and bought a $1 beta access on ebay. If beta window is 48 hours, I should be able to get enough time to get a good read on the game, worth the dollar IMO.

Don't fret. Check your PMs.

Yes because I doubt any of my friends are going to pick this up. I am hoping the story mode will be decent.
My main concern is the dark zones or whatever they're called and getting griefed by other players. At least with Destiny it's easy to avoid PvP but in this, the dark zones seem like a big chunk of the game.

Is there another site giving away free Beta codes for The Division like the previous 2 whose keys were depleted?

Yea I've missed out on a couple now. Ausgamers had a few as well but they are all gone now too.

My memory might be a little foggy, but I remembered screenshots of the Witcher 3 on PC was leaked before release looked exactly like it looked after they release the game.

It did. People have convinced themselves the game wasnt downgraded

It will def perform better than the consoles. Thebiggest worry would be whether or not it maintains a playerbase. Thats always a huge problem for multiplatform pc games
I wouldn't worry about the playerbase. It's been on the steam top sellers for ages and there are a million and one more ways to purchase the game. Most of which are cheap Uplay keys.

Can you please me tell me what is your notebook? I never saw such setting in notebooks yet.
It really depends on your resolution. You have a pretty damn good laptop and a good VRAM variant of the GTX 970. I could see high happening, with a mix of lower AA, no Nvidia PCSS shadows, and no HBAO+. High has a good chance, ultra no - all assuming if your resolution is sub-1080p.
