This has to do with you assuming that the performance situation present in the launch version of FCP won't change with patches later even though in the same paragraph you're saying that it has changed in RotTR.

There are always reasons to assume that performance can change/improve in titles which perform differently to the rest of the market.

My issue isn't with AMD here, it's with several AMD fans who don't know jack shit about anything h/w related but are always running around screaming how async compute will bake bread in DX12 on their Pitcairns.

There are reasons why it perform as badly as it does on NV h/w. Depending on how willing both the dev and NV will be - they may fix this in patches / drivers down the line.

And yeah, there are lots of reasons why a game may underperform on NV h/w without proper optimization.

I see no recent precedent that leads me to believe performance will improve. Almost every ubisoft game this gen runs better on amd as long as you dont use certain gamework effects(pcss and tess effects), and this hasnt ever changed post release unless im mistaken. And looking at the most relevent title, far cry 4, nothing changed for nvidia throughout the 10 patchesthat game received.

Am I the only one to find colors like, washed out, with too much brightness / gamma ?

Strangely, I don't have this problem on Far Cry 4, where colors look vibrant !

I'm using a SweetFX profile that helps fix the washed-out look and makes the colours more vibrant - http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5287/

I also have the brightness or gamma turned down a notch in-game I think.

1440p
3570k at ~3.9
R9 290 4GB

I had to set to medium or normal settings. I get between 45-60 FPS

Is that expected? I dunno sometimes I feel like I don't get the performance out of my R9 that I should be but maybe its due to the 1440p more than anything else.

Ugh, started playing it few days ago, idk. should i wait for 4K textures, but i am sure that they will kill my performance.

The Rainbow Six Siege team put a lot of effort to try to deliver a solid and scalable experience to the PC community, so those of you running a 4 GB GPU will still be able to enjoy this texture pack from 1080p to 1440p resolutions.

Those of you with the high-end 6+ GB GPUs, you will be able to play the game in sharp 4K resolution, along with these Ultra-HD textures under standard lighting and shading options.

Last but not least, for those of you with the MEGA PCs with dual GPUs and with more than 6 GB of video ram, you will be able to run 4K, with the Ultra-HD textures, and with the highest settings of lighting and shading which take advantage of tech like displacement mapping.
