0 day PC patch available: http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/far_cry_3/farcry3_1.01.exe
It enables DX11 for those that couldn't enable it, and more. edit: or maybe not. Check the guru3d link for the changelog.

Hoping I can get some decent-ish performance out of my 6950 without turning too much down. I can deal with 30fps.
The benchmark in the op is wrong. This one was WITH (contrary to what is indicated) 4XMSAA.

Make no mistake it's still a very demanding game.

But is this benchmark with the patch and the new drivers?
The OP's benchmark is taken from the same website, but for some reason it's not displayed as it should. Tested with the latest beta drivers yes.
I linked the website, it's in german but the benchmark is crystal clear.
When I try to link the benchmark with 4XMSAA activated the image still displays a "no AA" in the title...But if you go on the page you will see that the difference is quite huge.
Updated benchmarks. Depending on your CPU (mine is a i7 3930k @ 4.8ghz), I believe we'll get an average frame-rate of 25-28fps if we put everything at maximum and run at 1440p:
What 1440p monitor are you using? I'm still hunting for mine.

So why do they not include the 670 in that? Is that just because its in the 680 category??
No it's not. It wasn't even the final release version they've tested.
Oh, good news.
But, hey I'm fine with 50 frames per second with everything maxed except AA.
It might be safe to say that. If the code is optimised then we truly do have a new PC destroyer. Move over Crysis, which was a non-optimised game anyway.
Oh fuck that..
To earn destroyer status, it can't simply be bringing PCs to their knees due to poor optimization and bad drivers. It better look like 2012's Crysis equivalent, visually, to get KGSoA.
Yes. I realize Cry sis wasn't the MOST optimized game for its time..

They can't possibly test with every card. These fixes are very rarely card specific; they affect the whole family of cards, or even whole families.
Lol. I can remeber talking to my friend about his laptop and I went to see what version of 7 he had. It ended up being 32-bit, even though he had 4 GB of RAM.

Damn, a 690 is needed to get 60 fps? Will wait for the 700 series.

And we are arguing in the PS4 specs thread about if the future AMD HD 8770 will be enough for next gen 1080P 60fps...

Me too. Any idea when they are scheduled for?
We don't know what version of the game they tested. The day 1 patch notes, linked to earlier, mention performance gains in both SP and MP, so maybe performance will be even better? Also, will you be using 8x MSAA? I imagine 4x MSAA will look pretty damn good and be nearly twice as fast.

Are there cool DX11 effects.
I'll downsample from 3840x2400, apply some sparse grid goodness and then 8x MSAA plus some SMAA ...
Yeah I'll probably play at 2x or 4x. Pixel density at x1600 is high enough for some free AA.

I've read AO, and AA are DX11 only. No other particular effects that I am aware of, but DX11 could be faster.

Honestly, I kinda prefer the hard shadows to those soft ones. The game isn't photorealistic so I'm fine with the stylized (hard) shadows if it runs better.
How big is the dx11 hit?
edit : for the people in this thread who know, how do you make sure uplay isn't running in the background when playing this game? I'm referring to the AC3 situation where "booting in safe mode" in uplay gave people performance gains. I'm not taking any chances with that shit, uplay is off from the getgo and how do I do it?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
How does this run on a dual core and GTX285 equivalent at ~720p? FC2 run fine, JC2 run fine, Crysis 2 was passable, ACII run fine, most games are fine (at reasonable settings) with the exception of things like ACIII, BF3, Witcher 2 etc. If this runs more like ACII than III I could enjoy it. Also is there annoyingly close up LOD for shadows, detail objects, etc, and how does that impact performance? I'd rather have them remain shit up close than switch 10ft ahead but for whatever reason that's never an option.

Look at the edges of the air conditioner, as well. It seems to handle AO differently. More selective?

Did a graphics card company just release a non-fudged graph?

HBAO in DX11 vs SSAO in DX9 probably.
Not based on what I've seen. Game looks good but not better than Crysis, so if anything it makes Crysis look optimized...
Crysis 3 will probably be the next PC destroyer.
Around 10 fps. Not worth it IMO.

Oh that's not too bad. I was expecting 20+ haha.

Well if my rig could run CrySis just fine on max settings, this should run as well then if it doesn't look better but it won't according to those benchmarks
edit: Rig is: i-5 750, 8Gigs of DDR3 Ram and an ATI 5850 1GB

What was/is your frame rate when you run Crysis on your rig?

Am sort of worried.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz and GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
I run Battlefield 3 at 60fps on Ultra (with occasional dips to 45-50).
I guess I can thank my screen for screwing up, and staying at a lower resolution than it should be at.

Honestly it's been so long that i don't even remember, but what i do remember is that it ran very fluid on max res (1080X1920) back then, so it must have at LEAST been above 30 FPS or i would have noticed something...
Hmm 10 fps isn't all that unless I'm going to be around 30 to begin with. Was expecting something in line with Arkham City's -100 fps hit dx11 mode

I liked those shadows in Crysis 2 and Stalker. Hope they don't eat half my frame rate.
Hmm... I think it's safe to say that if it hit sub-60fps then your system is solid. If it hits sub 24-27fps then your system is struggling, meaning it's not running the game blissfully (60fps+). If you get some free time, try to see if you can find out the frame rate on your system, but please don't feel compelled to find out for it's not important. After all, only your enjoyment matters.
