Sweet, will report back later when the damn game unlocks!

Should be set for Ultra 1440p / 60fps though. Hopefully that looks nice on my 4K TV!

PS - Any word on input lag yet?

More likely due to the lack of exclusive fullscreen.

Windows doesn't support HDR yet, devs do have access to it but consumers not yet. Until that happens any HDR support you'll see in PC titles are vendor exclusive solutions.
 
I believe it's using DX12's native multiGPU support instead of SLI/Xfire.

If Gsync works I'm guessing Freesync will also work?

Vendor exclusive solutions that don't work with UWAs because of the lack of exclusive fullscreen.

UE4.

Ha, that gives me A LOT more confidence in the title and the Digital Foundry video makes sense. I feel like anything developed at home by an MS studio at least at this point will still be so targeted at Xbox One with optimizations on the engine side for their unique memory configuration that I expect FH3 types of issues from them for a while. UE4 on the other hand is already tried and true on PC.
 
Man, I go Play Anywhere with Horizon 3, get a uh... sub-optimal port. Go physical with Gears 4, the port is great. I can't win.

Only one of your 780Ti will work right now. And 780Ti do support DX12, so they are supposed to work once the multigpu stuff arrives.

Ahh oki got ya.

Kinda feeling a bit nervous about all this play anywhere stuff, pc ports and universal windows apps after the piss poor Horizon 3 effort.
 
Having difficulty getting this to start downloading. Anyone else had the same issues?

I was lucky enough to get Forza Horizon 3 downloaded on the first attempt, but now I'm getting some "Try again later. Something happened on our end" fuckery

edit: nvm, worked on the 9th attempt

This has already been confirmed as an amazing version, probably isn't even a port.

Once bitten twice shy.

I'll hang off and see what performance is like on my card at 1440p after people get going with it.

I see initial reports are super positive though.

Don't know if anyone cares about performance on a 280x, but I had a smooth experience with most settings set to high (1080p obv.) Most of the time it was 60fps, but in the outdoour environments the lowest was about 40 fps. Indoors/closed off environments was 60 all the time. Same goes for multi or horde, never below 60. There's an ingame framerate counter which comes in handy.

OC'd, right?

And I care because an 280 with a pretty nice OC. Not looking to upgrade the GPU until the greatness comes in 1 to 2 years when VR is more prevalent.
 
In here to see how those with a GTX1060 do. All indications are that it'll do great, but after a couple of duff ports recently, I'm not pre-ordering anything .

No :( I should probably look into that at some point to get more out of it.
 
I still get confused as to how people don't know that Xbox Play Anywhere is digital only. *sigh* I guess it will take a while, but it is tiring to see.
