Any guesses on what I can expect with an i7 920 and gtx680 with the fancy hair going?

Awaiting the first NVIDIA Titan benchmarks for this game lol. Ultra settings, SSAAx4, 2560x1440, TressFX... Bring on the 60 FPS lol.

funny how the the hair is moving in one direction, while the objects in the environment are moving in the opposite direction.
It makes the game come alive though, it feels so real!

The hair looked good until it blew over her shoulder, then it looked like she had an invisible force field wrapped around her body. Whatever prevents it from clipping into her body needs to be a little more precise.
Glad it works better on AMD cards. I was getting worried after seeing that framerate hit.

Bought. Then we'll see if two titans can pummel her hair.
Google returned this, supposed new nvidia beta driver 314.14, tomb raider ready...

So.... The closer the camera is to the hair = the worse framerate is.

Oh. My poor 570 
I'm looking for a reason to update but until a new series of cards doesn't come out, I don't see the use.

Edit: 19KBps. Thanks, Nvidia.
I'm on it.
Just finished streaming about an hour of gameplay with settings on High for the most part and TressFX turned on. Can find the vod here: http://www.twitch.tv/rayfoxii/b/373759203

Fuck, that's too big of a hit for awesome hair.
Looks like TressFX runs better on AMD cards. Purchase justified.
7970 crossfire justified, lol.

I've got a 7970. I'm shooting for Tress FX + 3D - FOV @ 720p. Any idea what sort of a hit the ultra FOV has?
I'm considering biting the bullet on a second [670].I've long planned to do so as my old 570 has been sitting in my PC going unused since I stopped playing Borderlands 2 a few months ago (I'd dedicated it to PhysX), and I should be able to flog it off on eBay for ~$180 which is roughly half the cost of a 670.
And... done. I'll post updated benchmarks in a couple of days.
There's a setup guide here, though it's not exactly thorough.

PhysX is just as bad and even on lesser intensive games it can cripple things. We need more games offloading it to the CPU.

That 7970 should demolish any game at 720p. Why are you running the game at console resolutions with that beast lol.
wow that hair effect looks pretty bad, what's happening here? Forcefield shoulders?:

Turn up the res or you card get's barely used.
For the performance hit it has I expected it to look mindblowingly better than the implementation seen in Alice.

because 3D. my output options for that are 720p at 60 Hz or 1080p at 24 Hz. Which would you pick? I don't run every game at 720p you crazy people. Framepacked 720p is really 1280 x 1440.
I think so, I really don't consider it to be a big deal at all.
The performance hit does not justify the end result ........ It's hair lol.
Actually I think most games are triple buffered, but offer no options for it. IIRC the only big recent game to lack native triple buffering is Crysis 3.

Don't think I'll be getting 60 fps in this so I locked it to 30, running TressFX on ultimate
Game looks great but it's crashing pretty frequently with my setup (GTX 670, i5 2500K @ 4.8GHz)

You mean Dead Space 3 finally had Triple Buffering on PC?
Any luck with that thing? I want to know if I should pay up or not.

can you tell me how many FPS you get back disabling FOV if you get a chance?
don't be daft. it was locked to 30 like always, but you could override that using Nvidia drivers or Radeon Pro, depending on who made your GPU.
This isn't even remotely true. 99% of games don't triple buffer with V-Sync enabled.
I didn't even bother to look it up and I knew without a single doubt in my that locked 30 was the case. But at least they were willing to implement mouse controls!

And the Titan fucking demolished it... Thanks for the testrun Sethos.
2560x1600
Ultimate settings ( Everything High / Ultra, TressFX, High Precision, PP, Tess etc. )
2xSSAA
Not sure where it's getting the 10fps minimum from, it doesn't dip whatsoever.
Oh and TressFX looks like shit. The shadowing alone makes me wanna vomit.
You on one or two Titans Sethos?
specs?

Big performance hit, doesn't look much better than Alice PhysX hair, and still has that damn "invisible forcefield an inch above the shoulders" look. This is disappointing.
