The definitive PC version will feature the following visual improvements:
- Soft Shadows
- TXAA anti-aliasing (Nvidia exclusive)
- Turbulence/Cloth/Particles PhysX Effects (Nvidia exclusive)
- Nvidia’s new DOF technique (???)
- HBAO+ (Nvidia exclusive)
As well as the usual PC benefits: Higher resolution textures, smoother framerate, 1080p+ resolution, tessellation, etc...

Video Demonstration from PAX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBilg4EHj-M

Assassins Creed IV Black Flag was also demonstrated on PC and a few details were released as well...
- 4k textures on PC version
- TXAA support

The features we deserve, but not the ones we need right now.

But will it actually work on day 1 this time? DX11 ran at 0fps for a while even with the unnecessary 2 week delay.

Visualante2 · Sep 8, 2013

How much of this is proprietary to nvidia cards?

robotrock · Sep 8, 2013

I hope this doesn't get delayed to come out later than the console versions.

The console version they demoed at E3 looked very rough. Hope the game doesn't disappoint.

Neat, I still need to pick up AC but I'm waiting till they get rid of Securom and GFWL.

Did they ever? Physx & Dx9 ran at a billion fps, but dx11 was a stuttering mess last December. Not that it mattered, tesselation didn't exactly add much.

The title had me thinking there would be exclusive gameplay content at first.

Can AMD do TXAA and whatever the fuck NV DOF is?

DeVeAn · Sep 8, 2013

Which video card should I get to run this game @1080p 60fps?

The Cowboy · Sep 8, 2013

Yeah but will it perform just like AC with DX11 etc?.

DeVeAn said:

Probably two titans

Despite the framerate issues and horrible, buggered launch the PC version of City was really nice and had some cool features. Thought the physx usage in particular added a lot to the atmosphere of some of the battles. Smacking all the money around as Catwoman <3

I want to finish the game(was very close) but GFWL deleted my save

Nabs · Sep 8, 2013

Man, that tessellation scene was just chugging. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, but why would they bother including that part.

Speaking of, what is our status this time around? No more GFWL right? It's dead right? Steam only?

Lulubop · Sep 8, 2013

Steamworks

Zeth · Sep 8, 2013

Think there's a story buried in that PAX video in OP, unless I missed it earlier - 4K textures in AC4 PC.

Metalmarc · Sep 8, 2013

Title should just read nvidia exclusives

TXAA is a proprietary nV implementation though it should be similar to SMAA in theory.

nV DOF probably uses CUDA.

Al I know you're fairly knowledgable on such things but my understanding was that SMAA (in its various iterations) really isn't similar to TXAA. Like, at all. TXAA seems heavily focused on on reducing aliasing artifacts caused by image motion.

That's so annoying. At least AMD keeps their stuff open to other to use like TressFX. Oh well. I'm sure my 7950 will run the game well enough.

SMAA can use MSAA and temporal AA as well.

TXAA anti-aliasing creates a smoother, clearer image than any other anti-aliasing solution by combining high-quality MSAA multisample anti-aliasing, post processes, and NVIDIA-designed temporal filters.

That's all.

Ahhh I see what you mean. Forgot some SMAA implementations had temporal AA included.

So we'll play it, because our PCs can take it.

That's not out of the goodness of their hearts though, though it is beneficial to many.

I like to pretend it is.

Chance Hale · Sep 8, 2013

TXAA is nice in that from my experience with every game that uses it is that it completely(and I mean it) removes aliasing but the downside is that it puts a gray/slight blur over the entire picture so it never really looks sharp. Looks better in some games than others, ACIII and the Secret World looked really nice with it where Blacklist was a bit too blurry at times.

Interested to see that new depth of field technique or whatever it might be. It's my favorite effect.

Zoned · Sep 8, 2013

Not sure what you mean by "we" here.

We need these, can't wait to play this shit on my new 770.

Geedorah · Sep 8, 2013

So pumped for this game, still gotta go ahead and pre-order it though...

plainr_ · Sep 8, 2013

Phew. For a moment there, I thought this game was Origin exclusive.

Vulcano's assistant · Sep 8, 2013

direct footage of the next gen wolf on that video, btw.

LabouredSubterfuge said:

No worries.

Too many implementations these days.

Just to add to that: MSAA can handle temporal aliasing in terms of edge crawling that post-AA cannot solve since the former is sub-sample. Temporal filters would seem to imply reusing the previous frame data to achieve temporal SSAA although there are separate ways to reduce/eliminate ghosting (which SMAA also covers).

Where are my TressFX? I want Harley's Pigtails to be beautiful as I tackle her to the ground!

How many weeks after the console launch will the PC people get our copy?

Same with ACIV and Watch Dogs, hopefully this is something that sticks around!

It's AMD only, it looks like WB had a deal with nVidia.

Huh tress fx works very well on my nvidia card in tomb raider

I need to know whether this game is worth buying.
