Welp, that's pretty shitty. Was looking forward to picking this up this weekend. Guess I'll be passing for now since that's what I have as well.

Maybe you can help answer this, why, when I force 1/2 refresh rate in Inspector, do I get hellacious input lag? In order to alleviate it, I have to use Afterburner and cap the framerate at 29.
Mafia 2 did, the performance hit was severe.

Sleeping Dogs had an SSAA option, and The Witcher 2 had ubersampling.
All seems a bit redundant to me anyway now that I can downsample.

And Ghostbusters via editing a file.
Same with Most Wanted.
Shit, is this what I have to look forward to?
Sure hope not or someone is going to have to make a 670 owners sob thread for us to post in tonight/tomorrow.
Just Cause 2 does this if you use in game Vsync. The workaround is to disable it in game and use d3doverrider instead.

Sucks up FPS, I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the lighting/effects used in the game? High Precision HDR vs low precision HDR lighting? I don't know.
the 314.14 beta don't support tomb raider yet

Am I the only one who doesn't think this TressFX looks very good?
Also, anyone running this on a 650M by chance? I'm jelly of you aussies and VPNers.

Fuck, I hope they get a patch out real quick. This and Bioshock are like the only two games I've been excited for. This being a crashing mess really sucks.
I'm fairly sure those who actually like it are in the minority, at least on GAF.
My best guess would be that while forcing the refresh rate to 30 Hz, it keeps the internal buffer length the same, so basically it doubles the input lag in games which are already susceptible to it.
I like it. It's not perfect, and it seems to use too much performance for what is offered (particularly on NV cards), but it's far better than static hair.
I guess I'm more forgiving about the artifacts since I programmed a hair simulation once and know how finicky it can get

It's easy to see the potential, though.
This is the first implementation, the tech is going to get better from here.
I also have a 670 and the game crashes all the time after the Cave
Jesus Christ. I have a 670 and this is ridiculous.
Well the only drawback to injecting SMAA into something is that it disables D3DOverrider killing triple buffering, since this has Triple Buffering built in you can inject SMAA on your own with no drawback.
Yeah, I agree with this.
I hope it gets better in time; shame about all the performance issues everyone seems to be having.

At what resolution? I'm hoping to get it running in 720p at 60FPS.. That's a pipe dream isn't it..
I'd say there are more drawbacks to injection compared to an in-game implementation:
- it will also be applied to GUI elements
- it can't use additional information which could be readily available in-engine (ie. the depth buffer)
- you won't get the (really good and efficient) SMAA2 and higher modes, just SMAA1x

Not actually that important

I was looking to get a british VPN in the next week or two. Does anyone know if the british version is going to unlock at midnight tonight GMT? If so I'll probably subscribe to that VPN tonight.
Yeah, I tried injecting SMAA when playing through AssCreed 2/Brotherhood late last year and while it did a fine job at cleaning up the aliasing (with no discernible texture blur), I couldn't stomach the beating the GUI elements received as a result. If Nixxes takes the time to implement SMAA into the game proper I'll be one happy chappy.

I don't know who has said this, or who's at fault. All I know is I'm not buying the game until I hear it's fixed.

GTX 680/i7-920@4Ghz/12Gb Ram
Everything maxed out gives me about 36 fps average.
Everything maxed out except TressFx gives me 56 fps average.
Dunno. Gonna start the game up with it on and see if it changes during the actual game.

20fps loss then. I'm not sure the effect warrants such hit.
Can't wait to see by myself tomorrow.

That's kind of how I feel. It does look good, but around the shoulders it sort of floats over them, so it kind of breaks the immersion. Hopefully, we'll get some patches down the line that will address that. Still, I like the direction that TressFx is going.
I guess we can say that the performance with TressFX turned on is....kinda hairy.
Maybe a solution to the Nvidia 670 Crash problem!
I have tested to see what it made the crash.
Program used EVGA Precision X hardware monitor
First I turned everything to low settings. No crash after the cave for 10min. GPU usage about 20-30%
Turned everything to ultra, 2xSSAA crash after 10 seconds. Checked EVGA GPU up to 99% GPU usage.
Checked again with everything on ultra and 2xSSAA but have turned off tessellation.
The game run perfectly fine when I ran up and down the hill. Turned on tessellation, the game chrashed after 10 seconds. Checked EVGA GPU was 60-70% on before I turned on tesslation then it went to 99% and thats where it crashed.
Started the game again with ultram, 2xSSAA and tesslation off, no crash. Got to the camp and further. Turned on tessellation. No crash and checked EVGA GPU and it was around 70% with the smaller area I was in.
All the time the Memory was about 700-1100Mb so it wasnt that which crashed the game. It seems instead that if the game reaches 99% of the GPU the game crashes.
EDIT: Played some more with tessellation on, the game chrashed and EVGA Precision showed that the game chrased as soon as GPU reched 99%

Not that it doesn't look good, it just doesn't look as impressive as I thought it was going to be or the way it was hyped up.
The FPS is a little bit disappointing as well, but it is what it is.
Aha, perfect!
Nice find, the tessellation setting seems bugged then, funnily enough it happend with Deus Ex HR as well...And the game uses the same engine.

the part that's unimpressive to me is the collision modelling around her shoulders, which I'm sure could be fixed pretty easily.

That's what bugged me the most.
