Yeowch, I have a 6870 and a i7 560. There is a DX9 renderer, I assume?

Even RPS loved it. Looks like this is legitimately good.

Why are y'all looking at benchmarks without AA?
This is the one that matters. Maxed out with 4xMSAA and 1080p.
I am going with maxed out with 4XMSAA and 1600p so 15 fps here I come!
But that says no AA at the top.
I'm just glad I can usually drop down those performance-heavy options down a notch or two and still not be able to tell the difference. Has saved me lots of money over the years.

I wasn't interested in Far Cry 3 before. I definitely am now. Pre-ordering it this instant!
You're also posting the one without AA.
No no silly people, there is 4xMSAA applied in that one it just doesn't say in the chart.

Did anyone spot this in one of the reviews?
Minus: The inability to turn off the HUD, mini-map or objective markers.
WTF is this shit?

Ya, that does suck. Seems like such an easy thing to add as an option for those that prefer a more immersive experience.
Weak.
Game still looks amazing, but thats incredibly disappointing. Maybe they'll patch it in later?

If this is true for the PC version, I'm actually going to wait for a sale to buy it. It's ridiculous that they have to plaster the hud with CoD like popups. I'm not supporting that trend, which is a shame because it is/was my most anticipated game all year.
Dumb, but could definitely be patched.
Have any of these options ever been in either of the previous Far Cry games? Did Ubi ever say they'd be in Far Cry 3?

Sure, but I think, most of the time, devs do not bother and focus on performance issues/glitches only after their game is out.

Man that is exactly what I was worried about. Its not the HUD / mini-map / objective markers as much as the magical target marking / superman pervo vision after you use the wonder binocs...
Seriously dont devs understand that shit like that turn their game into a shooting gallery for idiots more than actually add to the overall experience?

WELL THAT'S THAT THEN
Seriously, if RPS says it improves on everything FC 2 promised (and I don't care what you assholes say, FC2 was a flawed masterpiece) then I'm picking this up immediately.

I don't consider myself a score guy but....I'm suddenly very interested
FC2 was let down by sloppy implementation so if this addresses those issues and expands on it

I was gunna be a good boy and wait until Christmas, but those reviews are too good.

If you took out the AI and just left FC2 with the designed world the player could wander around in Id say its pretty damned cool.
It was the AI and other gameplay mechanics that just did not work which is what ruined the title.
At least now in FC3 you have a reason to use the melee weapon to take down guys quietly. Attempting that in FC2 would = a bullet in the head thanks to the machete being pretty much worthless as it took multiple hits to take down an enemy even if you took the time to sneak up on a target from behind.
I don't want no HUD just a minimal one. The one it has looks like dog shit.
I understand completely.
Then you are useless to the cause.
Haha fucking hell, I'm tired! I swear!
Well if it counts I'll take no HUD over that current HUD.
I am tried too.
*benchmark graphs*
That's a stock cpu. If the predecessors are something to go by then FC3 will scale well with cpu clock. So no reason to freak out at all, SB/IV@4.2 + and a 670/80 or amd equivalent then all settings max no aa and 60 fps should be a given judging by that first graph.

I have a serious question. Why is RPS a significant source over the other reviews? I only ask because you're not the first one who's posted that, and I've never really visited there.
I knew you were going to catch that. You must refresh constantly!

They are pretty harsh on everything, but at the same time fair about it for the most part. So if they are saying something good about a title its usually a good sign.

I hate to sound paranoid, but watching the Gametrailers footage: There's some noticeable inconsistency in graphical fidelity, and a switch of console versions as seen between controller prompts.
No mention of screen tearing as far as I can see.
I hope the game runs well on SDD cards with less pop in and better performance(On ps3)
Ah damn it, I should pre-order the game if I want it with all its missions.

Are you going to change it at some point? I know this sounds weird, but every time I see it, I immediately think it's Damian Echols staring at a gas chamber (the backround doesn't help).
Every game should have a no HUD mode. Don't you FRAPs, bro?

Far Cry 2 had a map that was an actual object in the game. I think that's what he's getting at.

Also some people like to get more immersed in the game and feel that huds distract you too much.
