Bear in mind it's up to 60 FPS, not 60 FPS.

The other thread said that WB says pre-load is exclusive to Steam purchases on PC.
OP: Chris Plante from Polygone reports running it on middling PC from 2012 w/ Geforce 670 at max settings on everything except Ultra texture pack and getting no dips below 30fps: https://twitter.com/planet/status/516631510850748417
I love all the detailed explanation of what the settings do. Should be like this in every game.
It was an excuse by Nuuvem. GMG is just now sending keys.
Really? Even if, they are steam keys?

Did I miss something - is there no AA options in the game? The video certainly seemed like it had no AA - maybe FXAA at most.

Argh! I totally forgot to post this! Thanks!
That's what it said on the page. Did I do the math wrong?
EDIT: Maybe I should be more specific and put the date.

Has been mentioned earlier, but you can put the resolution as more than 100% for anti-aliasing. It is still a bit weird though.
Yep. Much ado about weird wording.

Oh god I read AM lol
Wow that is weird.
For ultra (minus texture pack) at 70fps average. See the benchmark above your post.

bear in mind on ps4 it is capped 60, with drops, the example given is when possessing an orc for some reason it drops then.
That is super-disappointing. No TXAA or anything? Downsampling is so bad for actually getting rid of aliasing on its own, and if it's a DX11 game it's not like I can just force SGSSAA or something...
Has anyone tried high textures with a 2GB card? I know it recommended 3 or 4GB, but I'm hoping that's just them overestimating things. Hoping my 760 can do high, but I doubt it.
Wait, so you can set it to ultra if you have less than 6GB, and it will scale to whatever amount of VRAM you have? Or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah I just saw that, and was coming back to edit my post - but all good, looks like it's just super-sampling, which is weird like you said.
Also for all those people that have less than 6gig VRAM, it's been stated heaps of times that, if you don't have the required VRAM, then the game will use normal memory - so most people should have no dramas running the game on ultra.
The 670 Plante is using is a 2GB card. He is playing ultra everything except not using the texture pack download and getting consistent 30fps. https://twitter.com/plante/status/516631510850748417

Only 70fps seems disappointing. Doesn't look impressive graphically but maybe will change my mind when I see it in person

could i do 60 on high 1080p with a gtx 780?

It seems so.

Wonder what I'm gonna get from my 4670k/760 both at stock. Anyone got any estimations? Max is obviously out, but I wonder how much I can get out of high.

That's kind of sort of exactly what I just said in the comment you quoted.
I can't believe the game does not ship with any AA, there must be a post-process filter enabled by default with a SSAA option, like Metro Last Light.
Considering the benchmark posted above, probably around 30fps at the same settings?
That's what I'm thinking too. The options are way too good for it to be lacking something so basic.
Is it something they could add in with an update, or is it something we won't ever get if it doesn't ship with it?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Whaaaat? That was bullshit when FFXI did it in 2002.
Well you could always force it in Catalyst or Geforce Experience.
But my guess is it just has one type and it is always set to "on" thus no option.
Considering your PC and what the game is showing in that benchmark (shaders, polycount, particles, etc) does not seem a well optimized engine.

Id still love to know what settings the ps4 version uses, always curious which can run a game better my pc / ps4
High settings probably, perhaps without tessellation.

"up to 60" makes it sound like it varies all over the shop, with 60 being the highest.
But allegedly, it is more like TLOU (60 with drops), than tomb raider DE (up to 60) at least that's what the rumours are saying.

It means up to 60 FPS. That's what it means. Regardless of what you think it sounds like. It would sound like it varies 'all over the shop' if I had specifically implied that. I never even hinted at such a thing.
But no AA. Add a decent level of AA(looks like all we can do is SSAA?) and we're looking at like 40fps with max settings on a GTX970.
Not getting this game anytime soon, but it looks like I'd have to be playing with a lot of stuff turned down to High. Interested in seeing some comparison pics of settings.
Very strange that at least SMAA is not an option. SSAA is not realistic for the majority, even among high-end PC owners so I hope a quality "cheap" AA is enabled by default.
Isn't high the max settings ? I know there is an ultra setting for textures but what about the rest ?
Ah, did not know that.

I refuse to play games on PC at anything but absolutely maximum settings at minimum 60 fps
So I guess I'll wait a couple years for this one

I don't think so unless AMD release terrible drivers.
It should run a bit better (and look better) than on PS4.
