Nope. I just dropped the Sweetfx folder and it's accompanying files into the tomb raider directory.
Can you muster a screenshot or two with the sweetFX on that business?

I can't mentally imagine this. I'll have to check it out.
I disagree, I turned it off and immediately noticed how much FXAA blurred everything. I'm using SMAA instead.
I've had 2 crashes in-game, btw, just outside the cave, and a third time starting the benchmark.
Wow! Game runs and looks phenominal! Take back what I said earlier, but there's no way I'm buying it until its patched. Buddy saw a screen of triangles and driver stopped responding the instant he stepped out the cave. Tried again and it CTD during a cut scene just outside.
Similar specs to my PC:
Phenom II x4 965 at 3.6ghz
Gtx680 ( I have a 670)
All details maxed with SSAAx2 and Tres On, damn near locked 60fps only dropping when loading parts of a level (split second drop to the 40s) or during a cut scene (down to high 30s).
This is at 1280x800 on a projector (mine is 720p).
Good news for me when/if I get it. Should be perfectly silk throughout

Judge for yourself.
FXAA:
4x SMAA:
Is FXAA as good? No. The difference with the foliage is pretty obvious. Still, the IQ is pretty damned great as far as Lara and the environment are concerned. Not blurry at all, IMO, at least not compared to most FXAA implementations. If it were not for the foliage, it would be tough to tell the two apart at a glance.

Disappointed, game crashed about 20 minutes in for me...It looks phenomenal. Think I'm going to like it more than I expected though.

Thanks breh's. Yeah it's not AS bad as I've seen. SMAA is beast mode though.
Does sweetFX normally de-saturate? I haven't really used it that much.
Doesn't Max Payne 3 have a really good FXAA implementation?
Actually haven't played it, could be. I'm used to the terrible implementations we see in games like Skyrim.
If you can maintain 60fps with 2x SSAA on, go for it. If it causes you to drop below 60fps, I'd just stick with FXAA...it's solid.
Nope, not at all. I see it, too.

Wow about 6 crashes about 30 seconds after loading into the game, what the hell is wrong with this?

Game's running really poorly so far, on all settings. Getting lots of crashes too.
12GB DDR3, i7, 660ti here. Hrmm.

Some quick test with my system... 690GTX stock, 3700k @ 4.6 GHZ.
1080p max settings with SSAX2 59 FPS average.
1080p max settings with FXAA 80 FPS average.
SSAX4 is unplayable. Runs like at 5 FPS and makes the whole thing super unresponsive. This game runs incredibly hot. I've never seen my card hit 80c in a game before. It's such a short sequence too.

"Ultimate" settings with vsync turned off: Once the initial CG ended, there were 4 enemies. Two of them were solid neon green and one was invisible outside of clothing. After that, the screen just went black and started flashing acid trip shapes and colors.

Turn off exclusive full screen

Yep. and from my experience, you can turn it back on in the in-game graphics settings.
I'd guess that's a VRAM limitation. WIth the Titan I can get 20fps with 4xSSAA on at 2560x1600, I haven't tried 1080p but should be playable given the performance at 1600p.
At 2560x1600 2xSSAA is more than enough, though.

For some reason the game seems too smooth at 60 fps.
I can't use RadeonPro with it, so it looks like I'm "stuck" with it too.

Anyone else getting this....shadow dots all over Laras face? Hard to explain might have to grab a video of it. Using latest drivers for my GTX570, everything max besides hair and AF

Just got the game on Steam, but I can't access the different hair quality options. The drop down menu is grayed out. Is there a way to enable??
DX11 card?

Guys with a gtx 680...
I want 60fps solid. Can you get 60fps solid with TressFX?

Turn off tessellation.
I got it by turning post processing and tessellation off.

The difference between FXAA and SSAA is much more noticeable in lower rez.
I'm gaming at 720p, and the difference between FXAA and 2x SSAA is night and day. One makes me think I got something in my eye, the other makes me think I'm playing at a higher resolution.
What's up with this game and Nvidia cards man.

Almost done preloading on my PC. I hope I can get it to run well with my GTX 660. I'm new to PC gaming.
I tried playing without post processing, but I didn't like how it looked.

FXAA:
4x SMAA:
The blood textures on her body look like they are just painted on, IMHO. Not all that convincing. Also noticed that that blood streaks and drops are mirrored on her arms, lol. Is there a story reason for that?

What looked different for you? I have only seen the benchmark.
Runs great here, solid 60 fps FXAA, Vsync on. Ill test SMAA later and see how it goes.
Core i5 3570K @ 4ghz, 8GB, 7970 overclocked to 1150 /1600. No crashes so far either.
TressFX may not be perfect, but as a first iteration of this technology, I really like it.
Games like this makes me glad I spend the money on a good monitor, the games does come to life(Dell u2410).

Thanks guys, turning off tessellation got it fixed. Is it a TR issue or a Driver issue? If its driver it would be the first time I had an issue sine I got my Nivida card.

Running 55fps maxed (2xSMAA) with tressFX off. On im getting 37fps. 4 crashes within an hour. Weird artifacts with exclusive fullscreen on, just plain crashes to the desktop with it turned off sometimes.
Overall im really enjoying the game. Would be nice if I could play it however.

AMD Radeon HD 6870
Ultra Settings, turned off High Precision and TressFX, running at 1600x900 with FXAA. Mostly constant 60 FPS with dips to 50 in some heavy-action parts, no crashes so far at all. Very much like how the alt-tabbing is implemented even in fullscreen.
Running the latest beta drivers which help reduce framerate latency a lot.
Maybe the crashes are just happening on Nvidia?
