Can you not just disable the Intel IGP from within the BIOS?

Same here, it's not a bug I think, it has to be as you say a stylish effect.
Well, it sucks this probably wont be patched in the next couple of days. Going go be busy the tail end of this week/weekend. Theses crashes are so frustrating.
Has anyone else tried rolling back to 310.90 drivers? Keep reading that those on that driver aren't getting crashes with tesselation.

same here, also some sweeyFX love ;P
sweetFX on
sweeyFX off
this game looks absolutely stunning with sweetFX, after you use it you cant go back
What settings are you using in sweetfx? thanks
Have you tried turning off tesselation?
Huh? Why would it be up to Nvidia to fix a game crash? A similar crash in Hitman was the fault of Nixxies, as were other problems. What you get from a driver, generally, is more performance.
Nope, I refuse to run on anything but Ultimate!
I'll give it a go, thanks for the tip. Will try going back to 310.90 with the SLI bits as well.
Oh yeah. I'm trying the 310.90 drivers as well. What are the SLI bits?
EDIT: Found em, 0x084000F5 .
Yeah, I know turning off tesselation would probably fix it. But I really don't want to. I'll probably just wait until a new driver release if I can't get it working with this driver set.

670 SLI here. Turning it off fixed the crashing for me.

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.
how do you apply 4x smaa ? In radeon pro there's only 1x greyed out
Going to be honest, have no idea on whose end the problem is. I'm not an expert when it comes to drivers and game crashes. So it's not fair for me to call out Nvidia (I'll edit my post to reflect this).
I don't care who it is, Nvidia or the game makers, I'm just bummed it probably won't get patched today or tomorrow. Only time I had to play this.
Thanks for posting the bits. Please let us know if you can run the game on 310.90 with tesselation on without crashes.
EDIT: Also, can you tell us if you see a drop in FPS switching from the latest drivers to this driver? Kind of curious about that as well.

why isnt the op testing fps in 1080p?
The game has a lot of banding in every effect with High Precision on and off.
Really, is the king of banding.

Anyone playing this with a Q6600? Curious how it runs, I've got a 6970 and 8GB.

I rather have stats at 1080p.

My setup is this:
I5 2500K OC'ed to 4.2GHz
8GB RAM
GTX 570 Superclocked (EVGA)
Didn't try the game on Ultimate settings, only on Ultra. The game runs beautifully with 60fps most of the time. It's so pretty I could barely believe it.
Also, I didn't turn off tesselation, just went for the default Ultra settings. I'm pretty satisfied so far.

1080p isn't within the 16:10 aspect ratio but if you really want me to I can redo the benchmarks downsampled from 1920x1200.

how do I implement sweet fx? anyone?

Oh, and use the INGAME option to change it, the configurator outside the game is buggy (for me at least).
Because I doubt I get 60fps average with both FXAA and 4xSSAA ;P
GPU usage probably goes up a bit with SSAA.
This seems to work for me as well, my utilization were all over the place yesterday which resulted in dips to 35-40 fps and now it seems to stay at 60. Only played for a few minutes but I'm going to play more after work and see if I can maintain 60.

you mean 4xssaa...i don't see any 4xsmaa :/
Anyone?
Ran smooth for a few hours last night:
i5 3750K 3.4GHz
GTX 660Ti 2GB superclock
8GB DDR3
Tessalation on, hairFX off.
Worked great aside from the occasional pause at random times. Like once every 20 minutes the game would just freeze for a few seconds, then go back to normal. When I tried to alt-tab to start SimCity downloading it all went to hell though.

You probably haven't got enough VRAM. You're rendering whatever resolution 4 times over, and applying a memory intensive hair effect, plus the other settings you're using.
Tessalation seemed to be the cause of the freezing on my end (690GTX). After a few of those it would hard lock my PC and I had to reset it. Turning off Tessalation fixed all of that.
That must be it. I've been hitting 1.5GB Vram usage with FXAA, max settings @ 1050p.
Damn. I really wish I could get a screenshot of this but all my shots (with steam and fraps) are coming up as a black screen.
Anyways. I didn't get any crashing, but there are some horrible graphic glitches with tesselation enabled on the 310.90. Near the river in the very first area Lara's body and face become transparent. Also the river itself can been seen through rocks and the flipped over truck nearby...
Lost about 5~10 frame sin the benchmark. Not a big deal. Still feels very smooth.

I've got a 670 and every few minutes my display driver crashes. Very frustrating, I'm on the latest beta that released yesterday. All I want to do is play the game

Disable tesselation. Only thing Nvidia users can do now it seems.

All I want to know is: is this game a next-gen title on PC? Yes, or no.
I would put Crysis 3 in the next-gen title category easily. And probably Sleeping Dogs, Hitman, and Far Cry 3 max'd out.

Some Nvidia users are reporting good results, including playing with tesselation on with Windows Update WHQL set 311.06
That would mean no SLI support though, correct?
