[jmga]

HDR (console only, probably due to no HDR monitor on the market)

More likely due to the lack of exclusive fullscreen.

 

[Majine]

Will check out Insane, then probably jump down to Ultra for the performance (4K).

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Sweet, will report back later when the damn game unlocks!

Should be set for Ultra 1440p / 60fps though. Hopefully that looks nice on my 4K TV!

PS - Any word on input lag yet?

 

[Caayn]

More likely due to the lack of exclusive fullscreen.

Windows doesn't support HDR yet, devs do have access to it but consumers not yet. Until that happens any HDR support you'll see in PC titles are vendor exclusive solutions.

 

[Invis]

NVIDIA's guide seems to have this performing quite well across all cards. Can't wait to see how it performs for others here.

EDIT: DigitalFoundry also has a video up that includes the PC version. Get hype boys, this looks good.

 

[Darkangel]

I believe it's using DX12's native multiGPU support instead of SLI/Xfire.

If Gsync works I'm guessing Freesync will also work?

 

[Diancecht]

Do I have to but the Ultimate Edition to play tomorrow?

Yes. Unlock times

My 6700k + 980 Ti

Spoiler

is not ready

What res?

 

[SlickShoes]

I'll be playing this on a 960M and I'm praying for 1080p and 60fps. Worst case scenario I'll make use of the res scaling.

 

[Arkanius]

You should be fine at 1440p for locked 60 FPS

German Nvidia driver is up, other languages should follow shortly.

Vendor exclusive solutions that don't work with UWAs because of the lack of exclusive fullscreen.

Developer posted here to say that multi GPU is not in yet and is being worked on for post-release patch.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Are they using Unreal 4 for this or a new MS developed engine?

 

[Theorry]

UE4.

 

[Felix Lighter]

UE4.

Ha, that gives me A LOT more confidence in the title and the Digital Foundry video makes sense. I feel like anything developed at home by an MS studio at least at this point will still be so targeted at Xbox One with optimizations on the engine side for their unique memory configuration that I expect FH3 types of issues from them for a while. UE4 on the other hand is already tried and true on PC.

Thanks for this! Hoping the optimization is good, else I'm just going to plug my Xbox into my gaming monitor. Really would like to use M+KB though, hah.

 

[yatesl]

Any news on how this would run on an Intel Anniversary chip, with a 770?

What does this mean if i have two 780TI in SLI?

As they don't support DX12 (i don't think?) i can't use both cards?

Only one of your 780Ti will work right now. And 780Ti do support DX12, so they are supposed to work once the multigpu stuff arrives.

It is very very good.

 

[Spasm]

Man, I go Play Anywhere with Horizon 3, get a uh... sub-optimal port. Go physical with Gears 4, the port is great. I can't win.

Physical games don't work with Play Anywhere?

You can if you wait until the game is out before purchasing.

 

[OnionPowder]

Digital only

 

[SliChillax]

No

I thought the same thing I was gonna get a xbone copy myself and play coop on the pc but multiplayer on Xbox one

Guess I'm going with the digital version then lame.

 

[Lren]

Watching that JackFrags video posted earlier, I believe it! It's making the hype hit that much harder.

Ahh oki got ya.

Kinda feeling a bit nervous about all this play anywhere stuff, pc ports and universal windows apps after the piss poor Horizon 3 effort.

 

[Spasm]

Digital only. And the CE off Amazon has the Steelbook disc.

This has already been confirmed as an amazing version, probably isn't even a port.

 

[jiggles]

Having difficulty getting this to start downloading. Anyone else had the same issues?

I was lucky enough to get Forza Horizon 3 downloaded on the first attempt, but now I'm getting some "Try again later. Something happened on our end" fuckery

edit: nvm, worked on the 9th attempt

oh my fucking god that looks amazing. I want to believe!!! I'm tempted to buy the ultimate edition right now lol!! Can't do it though, not after what I'm going through with Forza Horizon 3 on PC right now

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

Once bitten twice shy.

I'll hang off and see what performance is like on my card at 1440p after people get going with it.

I see initial reports are super positive though.

 

[Creamium]

Any AMD impressions yet?

Don't know if anyone cares about performance on a 280x, but I had a smooth experience with most settings set to high (1080p obv.) Most of the time it was 60fps, but in the outdoour environments the lowest was about 40 fps. Indoors/closed off environments was 60 all the time. Same goes for multi or horde, never below 60. There's an ingame framerate counter which comes in handy.

OC'd, right?

And I care because an 280 with a pretty nice OC. Not looking to upgrade the GPU until the greatness comes in 1 to 2 years when VR is more prevalent.

 

[LordOcidax]

Any AMD impressions yet?

According to Youtube channel Gamers Nexus, AMD cards have a lot of troubles with the performance in this game. But, they took down the video really fast... Maybe they use the old AMD drivers for the benchmark.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

In here to see how those with a GTX1060 do. All indications are that it'll do great, but after a couple of duff ports recently, I'm not pre-ordering anything .

 

[SomTervo]

80GB of space


Whaaaa

 

[Mifec]

80GB of space


Whaaaa

Yup, the download is 73.33gb

4k textures and probably voiced audio.

No I should probably look into that at some point to get more out of it.

 

[Nere]

With a 970m what should I expect?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Any AMD impressions yet?

Here are a couple of benchmarks:

 

[Zedox]

I still get confused as to how people don't know that Xbox Play Anywhere is digital only. *sigh* I guess it will take a while, but it is tiring to see.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Curious to see what 4K performance is like on a 1070 / i-7 4790K

XPA will get a physical counter part

Spoiler

I hope....

Curious to see what 4K performance is like on a 1070 / i-7 4790K

I've got that exact set-up. Will post later with my findings.
