Someone in the comments section asked about a 970 and gameworks and got a response saying it'll get a nearly constant 60fps.

Going PS4. My poor 670 is quickly being left behind.
I also have a 670 and a PS4, and I've never seen (yet) a multi platform game running/looking better on the PS4 than what can be achieve on my rig. Sure the card is getting old but I think the game will be running nicely (not on ultra obviously).
I would just rather play at 30 lock with all dials turned on instead of hovering at 40-50. Unless of course you have a Gsync monitor.

Haha k already bought and have a 570. What a waste for me it looks like

Yeah I decided to go for the 5820K for the high individual core performance and so when DX12 is standard I have 6 cores and 12 threads to be fully utilized. I might upgrade the GPU next year to a Pascal card if it's that significantly better.

Gameworks is an nvidia specific library of technologies that devs can use in their games instead of building their own tech.
That's a good build, no doubt 60fps at 1080p high-ultra, especially if AMD pushes out a driver for the game.

GameWorks is nvidia features that look great but are huge performance hits. Their version of TressFX and HBAO+
Your rig will work just fine in playing at 1080p on Ultra without gameworks

Hell yes.
This sounds great.
Pardon my ignorance, but I upgraded to SLI for this game, and also my first time ever using Nvidia or dual cards period.
Does scaling 95%-99% mean a 99% increase in performance with a second card while in 4K?
SLI EVGA 970 FTWs
i7 3770k
30FPS Uber Settings+Gameworks @ 4K. Sound doable?
Sweet. Is PC gaming leaned more to nvidia? Do they have the market?

I think he's talking about a 780Ti which usually beats the 970 by a few percent.

They have the market but there is literally nothing wrong with AMD cards. GPU exclusive features are overrated anyways.
I see, thanks. Something I just noticed. People talk more about nvidia.

The Geforce site's comments really needs an edit history link so you can view edits. I can understand how these sort of things can blow up on the internet and cause a shit storm for you guys.
Yeah that could be the possible case.
Skimmed through it. Looks mighty fine. I watched that video with the smoke on AC:BF. It's a lot of smoke though!

Yep, sorry. My trusty 780ti. Sold my 780 when they came out for the same price I purchased it for.

To eliminate bottlenecks. This is all about the graphics cards.
Regardless though, DDR4 isn't going to offer much more performance in games than DDR3. Even the fastest DDR4 (I think there's only one speed atm) compared to 'slow' DDR3 (like 1066MHz or something) won't make much difference in games.
For every not cpu bottlenecked scene, yes. Btw, Andy says TW3 is not a cpu bound game at all.
Nobody knows this now. I bet you will be nearer to 60 than 30.

God that really makes me sad that Wild Hunt no longer uses fluid simulation/Wave Works.

Hey no problem. By the way, is that 3GB version?
It would be interesting to see how it performs in Witcher 3 if VRAM goes around 3GB on Uber settings.

I thought fluid simulation murdered performance on anything other than small scale even on the best setups?
UnrealEck

You'll essentially get almost double the performance when you go from one to two GPUs.
That of course doesn't necessarily mean double the framerate though.
Assuming the same graphics settings, that's exactly what that means.

In terms of AMD, how would a 290x do?
Itachi87
Member
^same. Here's hoping the newest nVidia drivers improves performance even more. Realistically, though I probably will end up having to turn some GFX settings to high to maintain a steady frame rate.
Assuming there are no other bottlenecks...

I'm worried about my 660ti I'm still debating to go with PC or ps4. Will my 660ti run this as well as the ps4?

welp guess I'll be learning how to OC my CPU and GPU this weekend (i5 2500k and 970)
Anyone know of any good guides?

Well, yes, that's why saying it scales at 99% is meaningless unless you state the resolution and graphics settings.
So asusming we have a baseline in the settings and you're benchmarking at say 1440p both times, if you said it sees scaling of 99%, I'd assume than if one card got 30FPS at 1440p with the same settings, two are getting 60 FPS.

I have a 1440p monitor, though I also have a GTX 980. I'm going to try setting the driver to "no scaling" and see what it looks like at 1:1 1080p. I want Gameworks. I'll try it both ways though.
Agreed

Awesome. Thanks! So pumped. Just got home from work, going to fool around with EVGA Precision X and see if I can't squeeze a little extra out of my cards.
Looks like it was running okay a couple years back.

Well I don't have a six core cpu or ddr4 ram, but I do have a 4790k and 32gb of ddr3 paired with 2 980s. So I should be golden for 1440p, ultra with gameworks.
Super fucking excited about this game!
