Really cool to see all these expensive graphics cards and shit doing well, but does anybody with a low end gpu like an hd 6850 have anything to say about the performance?
You might want to play on PS4, a 6850 is showing its age.
For one Far Cry 4 is a far less demanding game Than Assassins creed unity
What? It runs like shit with my 970 :S
That's not in line with what others have been sharing. 970 should crush the game.

If I remember correctly, increasing the Geometry setting in FC3 helped to alleviate this.
It's not even maxed out and I get 30-40fps most of the time.
i7 4770K, Asus Strix GTX970 btw. Playing in 2560x1080.

970 here and the game is running great... on foot. When I get to drive, it dips and stutters like a motherfucker. Any way to fix this? I dropped the resolution to 1600x900 and most of it is gone, but do I really need to play in 900p to have 60fps on a 970? Doesn't seem right.

On 970 and it seems like game is running like crap. Lots of stuff turned down and still can't hold steady 60 fps. At 1440 btw
What AA are you using ?

I got my key from greenmangaming hours ago, been playing the game earlier.
I have noticed the game has a bit of stuttering going on though, for no apparent reason. Usually runs at 40+ but then gets little stutters for whatever reason.

Dragon Age: I does have SLI bits.
Depending on your rig, you're debating over a superior experience vs. not a superior experience.
Amazing how this is even a debate for some people. =x

Maybe he doesn't have a super epic gaming PC, and the PS4 version would get him a better experience.

he's turned shadow quality back and motion blur off... if maxed ultra settings result in performance you find unacceptable, dial some settings back.
No game does fire better than FC2. It's a shame its been gimped in Dunia 2.
"Depending on your rig" which was in my post. =P
I doubt it takes a "super epic gaming PC" to beat out PS4 in Dragon Age though.

Getting kinda worried about if I should get this on my PC or PS4 now. I have a i5-4590 3.3hz, 8GB Ram and a GTX 770 2GB. Should I be worried about getting the PC version. I recently started up FC3 and was getting 50-60fps on very high then randomly dropped to 20-30 with a ton of stuttering

A post in Guru3D forums indicate new Nvidia drivers drop tomorrow at 11am EST.
The source of info unknown, so take with a grain of salt.

Hi Andy,
I believe the game unlocks on Steam at 9pm PST. Any way the new driver can be release tonight?
Fantastic work. The Nvidia effects are amazing, especially that fur. :O
Interesting, very interesting.
I did that already, didn't change anything. I'm using SMAA btw.
Nice, something to read until the game (hopefully) unlocks in a few hours. I mean, the steam version is unlocking in 3 hours, surely uplay is the same? RIGHT?!
Anyone know what's going on with the SMAA setting in this game? When enabled, it causes the mountains and distant object to go out of focus, almost as if some kind of DoF effect has been applied. Observe the mountains in the background and the blur around his hands and arms.
Game is really pretty, my only gripe is that a lot of objects are low poly.

How is my Radeon 7850 going to fair ?
It's a big job involving a ton of moving parts and international teams, so I very much doubt it.

looks like a bloom effect of some sort blowing out the detail of the mountain. it's happening to a lesser degree on the right hand glove.

I have to say SSBC is very interesting.
It's effecting middle and long distance shading where by comparison HBAO+ isn't doing anything. Close up HBAO+ is better but the better distance shading provided by SSBC is an interesting proposition for a large open world game.

This is a really nice article. Props.
Beast of a guide.
Too bad hairworks isn't in at launch.. :vl
Driver not released until tomorrow guess I'll save FC4 for then.
SSBC should really have an official radius, rather than screen wide - those long distance shadows aren't at all accurate (far too heavy considering light, distance from character, etc), but they do kinda work.
When you're actually playing though, you don't notice, and the quality of the HBAO+ shadowing is so much higher.
I want a holiday.

Hmmm. Uplay unlocked the game for me. Thought I would have to wait until tomorrow. Everything seems to work fine, but I have some weird mouse issues. It seems to jump around and provide a really jaggy motion. FPS is solid 60-70 and everything else is smooth.

HBAO+ is considerably superior close up and especially in indoors scenes. I wish it could treat longer range objects even though it would likely kill performance.
Great guide by the way!
I have to say, I'm really impressed by the SSBC results. In the landscape shots I actually prefer it to HBAO+, while the latter has higher shading accuracy.
What's important to note though is that SSBC achieves its results with a very low performance hit. I wonder how it would do if you increased e.g. the sample count until you get comparable performance to HBAO+.

I'm not going to pull my hair out over a shitty PC Port attached to a shitty DRM service.
