Wow, not that I expected much but those 750ti numbers look really bad.
Might be time to upgrade my R9 270 depending on how much better the "optimized" mantle drivers look. Anything sub-30fps with less than max is going to drive me nuts.

For those with long loads, did you make any graphical tweaks in Nvidia CP or Nividia Inspector?
I was screwing around earlier and accidentally made some changes to the DA:I profile in Nvidia Control Panel and it resulted in me having extremely long loads. Once I went back and changed what I did, they dropped back to to around 15-20 seconds.

This doesn't sound good. Looks like there's enough problems with the PC version that I'm going to hold off a while for patches and a discount.
The 750 Ti numbers are because it's on Ultra with 4xMSAA. That's just unrealistic.
which specific settings??
Vsync and Triple Buffering.
For some reason, the in game Vsync is worthless as I still get screen tears so I went to change the setting on the driver side and it drastically increased my load times AND I still had screen tears.
I guess tearing is just something Im going to have to deal with in this game. No idea why it isnt working.

That used to happen to me in skyrim on a hdd when using half refresh rate vsync or adaptive sync. Like, load times of 2+ minutes.

Guess my 7950 can't do mantle or at least it's just locking me to d11

Not sure if anyone's said this already, but according to TotalBiscuit, turning off MSAA completely will give you a 10-15FPS boost.

My 7870 Ghz can do mantle just fine. I think your card is still similar to mine in terms of performance and specs.

not sure why it's locking me d11 then

Not sure if this was posted or not:
yeah MSAA doesnt play nice with frostbite. I had to drop it down to 2x to get locked 60fps on hinterlands at 1080p
it was
Im wondering if im the only one (surely not) that hasnt had any sutter/jitter since the 60fps command line fix? I had some jittering on haven, but since being in Hinterlands the cutscenes are fine, like I said earlier, I actually thought they patched somethingIf you want Mantle, you need to clean uninstall drivers (use catalyst install manager in control panel), run CCleaner and reinstall 14.11.2 Beta

ah ok. was thinking it could be that I just have 14.9
Playing on my monitor at 1920x1200 my performance was sort of shitty with lots of drops when parts were before running fine at 50-60 fps. Started playing on my TV tonight and the performance was WAY smoother. Sometimes I don't know how much testing is done with 16:10 monitors or something, because the increased pixel count shouldn't be causing as many hiccups as I was getting.
I saw that when I wanted to save or teleport to a camp and was still in combat

Quite a few of the settings do change on-the-fly without issue, even though that message box comes up. It's just that a lot of them require a restart for optimal performance, to clean some other things up, re-load other data, etc.

I have a GTX 670 FTW 2Gig, I5 2500K OC'd, and 16 gig ram and get pretty close to a 60 fps with most everything on high and a few things on ultra. I do get drops into the low 50s, using both the new NVIDIA drivers and the command line fix for 60fps cuts scenes. This is all running at 1080p on a television.
However when I get home from work I should have GTX 970 waiting for me at home so this should improve for me

MSAA from 2x to Off.
Post-process quality (for cutscenes).
Effects quality.
Dropping Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion give a slightly more significant difference in image quality, but still look pretty good on High, in my opinion.
I bought it on Nuuvem, it unlocked at 00:00 today, so no problem there
I had to download an "English voice pack", but it seemed to be a dummy file, because it downloaded immediately and my game was fully in English (with both American and British set of voices, actually).

Ah that's not too bad then
A 970 shall be in my future as well, just not yet Great, I'll try those settings. I wasn't satisfied with the framerate I was getting in the hinterlands.
If this is true then I'm good. Nice.

Anyone know how to lock the framerate to 30fps besides using a 3rd party program?

I'm playing with dual EVGA GTX 670 FTWs running in SLI and have been pleasantly surprised by how smooth it plays. Honestly turning on Vsync made the biggest difference in "smoothness" for me. Although I'm only playing it at 1080p most of my settings are either Ultra or High. I also enabled the 60fps cutscene hack and now cutscenes look great too. Perfomance will only get better as the game gets patched and new drivers continue to be released. So far I'm really enjoying it.
theres a launch command line to do it, someone posted it many pages back
-GameTime.MaxVariableFPS 30
Click on Game Properties in Origin to insert the command line.
- GTX 680 lighting, factory overclocking
- i5 3570K overclocked to 4.3Ghz
Settings: 1080p, everything to ultra except shadows and tessellation at medium, postFX at high and AA disabled. Vsync disabled.
Nvidia control panel: FXAA enabled and adaptive vsync to 60FPS.
RivaTuner OSD and Origin overlays disabled (this _definitively_ improved framerate).
This gets me 60FPS most of the time with dips to 50FPS, but pretty smooth and playable overall ("virtual 60FPS").

Been tinkering a small bit, and game play seems to be a steady and smooth 60fps. During conversations and cutscenes it can dip a bit (I guess due to more details on faces and stuff?), but not too much. Overall I'm super-happy with my performance and the game just looks absolutely fantastic.

My friend's game locks up after 5 or 10 minutes,with a DX11 message and some stuff about his GPU...he has a Dell Alienware type PC,his card is a GT645 I believe...he cant even ok the pop up error message ,he needs to reboot his PC manually...he passes all the other minimum requirements,even the recommended ones,except for his GPU...latest drivers and all...
He is doing a repair right now to see if that will help...any suggestions...?
EDIT: Saw the DX messages on the previous page,this is exactly what he is getting,I will try the solutions/links you guys posted,thanks.

I don't know if this has been discussed here already, but I found a viable screenshot solution for those running Mantle.
People have suggested going windowless in order to be able to take screenshots with Mantle, but another element that makes it super easy is to take advantage of Dropbox's screenshot taking capibility. Using that not only puts screenshots in your dropbox, but automatically has them up with a link you can get a use:
I'm still trying to gauge whether using this method has any impact on performance or not. I don't know as of yet.
Directions:
1. Under dropbox preferences, go to IMPORT and make sure that "Share screenshots using Dropbox" has a check next to it. You might also want to turn off notifications for Dropbox or you will get a "Screenshot taken" notification pop up every time you take a screenshot.
2. Change your display options to full screen windowed. If the game says that you have to restart for the setting to take effect, then do so.
3. From there you simply hit the print screen button to take the screenshots and when you get a URL to share such as: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m6syq7ffp13e1wz/Screenshot 2014-11-20 09.33.58.png?dl=0
replace "www.dropbox.com" in the URL link with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" to get a direct link.
EDIT: Putting the game in fullscreen windowed seems to add extra hitching that isn't there for me otherwise, so YMMV.
Damn.

Damn.
Haven has a ton of character models around when you first get there that drops your fps. That and Hinderlands drop me down to the 40s.

Damn.
It does that to me, too. Does printscreen not work for anyone else while using mantle? I'm running it fullscreen with mantle and that works for me to take screenshots.
