Ugh, I am getting an error every time right near where you first get on the island and find the walkie-talkie. The game shuts down every single time. I am on an 680 btw. Anyone else having this issue?
Tomb Raider PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
Try the trial version of Incloak and connect to New Zealand.
As reported multiple times, tessellation seems to introduce crashes, have you tried turning it off ?
Waiting this game for months and then it releases with game breaking crashing all the time. I don't want to play this without all the graphical treats turned down for stabilityHeck, I bought the PC-version for a reason.
GTX680 here.
How often does it crash and where?
I have 680 SLI and just got out of the cave, and been walking around the island. Haven't had a crash yet.
Did your crashes start later on?
EDIT: I haven't tried the new drivers. But I guess SLI doesn't even work on this game on the old drivers. So technically im using one GTX 680 like you. Hence why I was asking about the crashes.

For me (670, a card that is also having problems) I'll be wandering along and the screen will go crazy, like a numbers tv station from a bad horror movie. This will last for a few moments and go away or remain permanently. The icons for objectives (and the xp meter) appear as normal.
Then I've had one hard CTD.
You are Good to go. I think your cards is only maxing 50-60% each.
Edit: if only one works then its a bit strange.
This one works great, $2 for a two-day pass. https://www.vpnsecure.me/ edit: apparently Origin no longer works via VPN
Damn. Okay so it seems like the crashes are happening after the beginning? Once you leave the cave. I guess I'll brace for the worst.
I'm in offline mode after installing. So I wouldn't know. If there is an update, keep us informed.
People are reporting that the game is really pushing GPU's to their limits. Look into temperatures.
Disable TressFx as it make your GPU run too hot.

Skyrim and GTA4 are DX9 games. Tomb Raider stresses GPUs considerably more.
What drivers are you using ? Disable tessellation also, there is something wrong with the VRAM usage.

Hold up, wispy hair will halve my frame rate? 'kay.
It looks like it to me. The hair gets darker and has a different shine to it:
Also, I will say that although the Tress FX does have the hair hover over the shoulders, it's not as noticeable as it was in the benchmark.
Mine is at 9.0gb after a short update when I woke up this morning. Went from 8.8 to 9.0.

I can definitely confirm this, I just played over an hour witthout tesselation, no crashes. with tessellation it crashes within 60 seconds.
too bad it looks bad witthout tesselation
I just got the steam version to unlock using a Japanese VPN and got the following FPS on the in Game benchmark @ 1920x1080:
Ultimate Preset: Everything maxed (except FXAA and Double Buffer V-Sync) w/ Tress FX on:
Min: 25.2 Max: 50.5 Average: 42.4
Ultra Preset: Everything still maxed (except FXAA and Triple Buffer V-Sync) w/ Tress FX off:
Min: 31.1 Max: 60.3 Average: 58.4
My system:
AMD FX 8350
16 GB ram
Sapphire 2GB 7870 XT LE (Tahiti chipset) OCd to 1100/1500
The benchmark seemed to run smooth with both sets of settings, but it does run faster without Tress FX off. In my opinion, the Tress FX looks really un-natural.

Played the game for a bit over an hour and got past the deer part.
So far performance has been good. I'm getting 60fps on a regular basis (with Tress FX on) and when it dips blow that, it's usually in the 50's with very few exceptions. The dip it noticeable but if the entire game runs this well throughout, I'll be a happy camper.
PS: The graphics are fantastic, even with just FXAA.

310.90 - Tessellation wasn't enabled either.
Here's the MSI logs the last second before it died again, if anyone can make something from it.

Awesome shots, love the first one.
Try the new beta drivers or the 314.07, they are more stable.

glad to hear that, what are your specs and are you using nvidia latest beta's?
He has an AMD 7970 so hes better than us.
What is your core voltage at? Some of the 500 series are under clocked which can cause crashes. I had crashing issues in some games with my 580 but upping the voltage fixed it.

Anyone know what time to expect this to unlock in North America? Midnight EST?
I'm running an i5 2500k @ 4.2ghz, Radeon 7970 @ 1ghz, and 16GB of RAM, so I'm hoping to max it out and get a decent frame rate at 1920x1200.

Yes, exactly. ~8 hours 45 minutes from my post right now.
Should be locked 60 for you.
1000, seems suitable to me?
Thank ye, sir.
You know you still love me, Sal.
If anything my CPU would be the bottleneck:
Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
Sapphire HD 7970
8GB Ram
Hahaha, nothing like a good ol' CPU bottleneck.
When I first bought my 590 two years ago, I was on a Phenom II X4 955 (non-BE). After a couple months of that bullshit I upgraded to an i7 and my performance doubled or even tripled in most games.
StarCraft II (notorious for preferring Intel CPUs to AMD) maxed out went from 30-40fps to 100+.
yeah that was what mine was too. Do some googling to see what others do for that specific card. I have my 580 at 1075, and it's helped sooo much. Also I saw you talking about temps, I just use the on screen display in Afterburner, that way you can monitor fps, temps, and vram in game. I use "3" on the number pad to toggle it on and off.

Turned off Tessellation after the crash at a cave. Played for a while, got to a part after exiting a temple and crashed again. Got to play a solid hour and a half though. Hopefully these crashes get resolved soon.
The TressFX? It is off. There is just a normal or on setting for that. I probably should have been more clear.
The game does look VERY good at this res tho, so I will take the tradeoff.
