They said it's not a cpu heavy game so you should probably fine, especially if it's a 8320-8350.
Based on the info from last page (or the one before), i don't think there's a very high preset.

I'm preparing for the worst in terms of performance on AMD's hardware.
And yet the game requires 8-core FX CPU.
That would be nice. Even if there's not much of a difference in the overall looks of the game, it's nice to have actually taxing ultra settings.
You answered it yourself, if the leap is not that big, set it to PS4 settings and you'll be able to either have much higher framerates or much higher resolutions.
Most likely both.
The game doesn't force you to run it on Ultra, you know.
DSR + SLI works. Just not with 4K, maybe even 1440p, and Gsync.
I'm sure this thread will explode with people's configs and tweaks and tips and infos which is why I love these threads. And it won't take long at all which is awesome.If someone can post the perfect config to run the game on steady 60fps with a 970 i will be very thankful.
Of course when the game launches...
I read that as darude sandstorm, read it twice again, realised it didn't say darude sandstorm, then went away from the thread and came back later, saw the post again and read it as darude sandstorm again.
The tiredness is real, folks.
I'm preparing for the worst in terms of performance on AMD's hardware.
Early benchmarks suggest performance is fine on AMD hardware.
Yeah. I used to a custom 4K res before DSR came out.
Anyway, I'm on 4K DSR and SLI is still active in csgo at least(im on an rcon connection so I cant do much). I could try a benchmark and see if it stacks up correctly.

The site that did benchmark seems to state that a new level of very high has been added to the game, unless its translating it wrong.

Can I have link to check these early benchmarks?
Agreed. Which is why it's a little suspicious, because it contradicts Nvidia's own benchmarks, where they took demanding scenes into consideration. It could very well be a case of different builds again. Review builds and retail/public builds tend to be different code branches because review builds need to be feature complete before launch day while retail/public builds don't (since it's locked till then anyway).

previous two pages?
It's a 6300 D:. It's better than the minimum AMD requirement at least, and two extra cores. Should do noticably better.
Yeah, Nvidia's recommendations is what makes it weird, but the fact that the card doesn't run it that well on Ultra isn't a bad thing by itself. People need to stop getting so attached to settings names.
It will be active, but it will secretly use just one of your cards. You probably didn't notice because CSGO isn't too demanding. Disable one card and you'll see your performance is exactly the same.
Nope. Not at 4K. DSR+SLI works fine for lower resolutions such as 1440P.
I don't know which build was previewed at the NVIDIA event in Munich, but one guy stated that he was playing it on Ultra with hairworks disabled on a GTX 970 at around 50-60 fps iirc. And the NVIDIA/CDPR guys told him there will still be a performance patch. The NVIDIA event was like a week/ a week and a half ago.

gonna be a long ploughing day.....
might as well hit up Costco and plough the aisles
my 7970 and trusty i5 are ready >.<!

7970 GHz and i7 standing in line with you
Forget the Munich event altogether. It was a complete mess. A glaring case of incompetence from Nvidia/CDPR there. Any technical analysis based on that event is null and void.

At least that chart shows AMD cards performing ok so far and not the clusterf* that Project CARS was
and thats without hairworks with hairworks you're looking at 50 fps

Hmm, I already knew I wasn't going to get 60fps with Ultra on my GTX 780, but I think I'm actually going to just lock it at 30fps. This will be the first time I've ever done this too, but the game bouncing around between 45 - 60 is a lot more jarring than having it stuck at 30. It's not like it has Dark Souls combat either, so it's not going to really change much in that regard. Next year whenever Pascal is released, I'll bump it back up to 60.
Yeah, it is still very likely that they had the old preview version. So I guess we will all find out later today/tomorrow how the game runs.
Well now i'm officially confused xD
Do we know if other websites are preparing some benchmarks before the game is out (maybe some of them said something like "TW3 benchmarks on their way" on their home pages)? The Nvidia performance guide would be especially helpful.
Yup, should do the trick

I like that both GTA V and The Witcher 3 get 10+ pages of Performance Thread before anyone can actually play the game.

I think pcdh.de was able to run the game with a downclocked i7 4790 to 2ghz and deactivated hyperthreading just fine, as they claim.

There is a performance patch. He was implying the performance will decrease with it, contrary to what people would have thought was typical with performance patches.
yes I'm kidding

I see no results for HD 7950 and FX 8350 in variety of settings and screen resolutions. These benchmarks is useless to me.
DSR+SLI doesn't work if your base resolution is 4k (i.e. 8k dsr). It definitely works from 4k to a 1080p monitor.
Lol! We need a "Pre Performance Thread Thread". That should solve the problem.

i5 3570k and HD7950 here as well.
Any other HD7000 users here?
The R9 280X is a rebadged HD7970 for reference. The 7950 isn't much worse then it considering if you OC your 7950 to the same clocks as a 7970 (i.e 925Mhz Core and 1375 Mem) it's a 5% difference.
man that's insane, so u wanna tell me my 970 GTX SLI wont be able to reach 60 fps on 1080P with hairworks? that's fucked up yo

Eyefinity sounding out of reach for my crossfire R9 290 setup...Maybe ill play this one on my TV

it's the swan song our 7970's deserve !
It shows that the game is not "biased" towards Nvidia. So, I don't why AMD performance would be anything but satisfactory.
Don't overestimate what your PC is capable of.
What's shocking or unbelievable ?

GTX 780 + i5 2500k here. Should i get this on PS4 instead? Serious question.

I'd like to see some in depth comparisons between high, Ultra and Ultra with Gameworks.
No. You should be able to run at PS4 equivalent settings at 60fps.
No.
Unless you really want to play it on PS4 for whatever reason (party chat with your friends, you can't connect your PC to the TV and would prefer to play on a TV or something like that), but if performance is the only thing you're worried about, don't be.
Ill have to check then. I mentioned csgo cause thats what I had running at the moment.
This would mean I couldave played gta v with 90+ FPS maxed then as i was averaging 45 most of the time
I just dont want to loose the sharpness os DSR as my custom res feels blurry, and has a hint of ghosting on high contrast text (like RTSS for example)
No, you should get about the same performance with higher settings.
Because I bought that damn thing 2 years ago for almost 600 :/
and it also runs Star Citizen on max settings with 30-50 fps ._.
