Metro: Last Light system requirements are out (first game that recommends Titan?)
- Thread starter angular graphics
- Start date
He was correcting someone who said that it was.
Just to be clear
Titan - 1 GPU
GTX 590/690 - 2 GPUs
Gah that's rough. Isn't the whole point of those dual gpu cards for insane resolutions and stuff like mult-imonitor gaming? I'm surprised to see such a monster of a card with only 1.5 GB of VRAM
My old 6950 crossfire setup was crippled by 1GB of ram in some games like BF3 with MSAA. A grave mistake on my part in retrospect getting the 1GB cards.

First time I've seen my 660Ti as a "recommended" card.
Last Light optimization is miles better than 2033. I saw the alpha at GamesCom in 2011, and they had it running at that time on a 590.
The TITAN Optimum spec is every single thing on max at something like 2560x1440/1600. Oh and the specs come from Deep Silver, not us, per the suggestion above
What do you think of 1080p, max settings w/ 0xAA running on a 680. ~60fps?
Please please please.

Crazy specs requirements. The jump from minimum to recommended is so high.
Well, each underclocked 580 on the 590 has 1.5GB of VRAM. But in SLI you only have access to the VRAM of one card.
It's very frustrating for games like Max Payne 3 and GTA 4 that force you to play a fucking VRAM puzzle game in the options menu. It's bullshit and I hate it.

Oh, that's cool then. I'm ok with playing at 1080p and lowering some settings like shadows and AO.

And better looking games won't.
Seems like most in this thread only got on the pc gaming bandwagon a few years ago.
I've never known anything else than gpus being stressed before they are a year old.
Remember titan is just gk110... being sold at double the price and would have normally released over a year ago.

By the time it'll be $199 there will probably be better GPUs to buy for that money (because they'll be based on newer architectures)
Lets hope so ;p Don't like to spend insane amount of money on hardware ;p
I dread the day its on Minimum =/

Uhg, I think I'm done with PC-gaming for a loooooooooong time.
90% of the time, every AAA release is so poorly optimised.

This post justified my SLI 670 purchase!!! Thanks Andy!

Metro:LL is not unoptimized. "Reccomended" configuration is for 1080p, "Optimum" is for 1600p.

Maybe I'm just blind but I can't find any Metro Last Light shots in the bullshot thread.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see they are in a link since they can't be posted in the thread due to legal reasons.
Ding ding ding. People with kick ass 3000 rigs can push it too the max while people with weaker rigs can pick and choose (hopefully) what they like best. I'd like to see more games doing this. I love to pick up an old game and turn on effects no computer could do back then like I can with Crysis. Doesn't mean the playable settings have to look any worse than other games.
Why people keep talking about optimisation when they don't even know how the game runs and scales?
People said the same thing about Crysis 3, but even on low settings it's a BIG step up from the console versions and looks incredible, they talk like if they can't max it out it'll look like shit. Chill out, people.
And if you think that the things they put in the game don't look good enough to justify the performance loss, guess what, you can lower it or turn it off!

This.
This! Crysis 3 looks amazingly optimized. Only game I have seen that stressed all four cores on my CPU 90~% while still fully stressing the GPU. It's also one of the few games where eight cores make a big difference. It seems like it pushed the load away from the bottle neck as both a CPU and GPU upgrade both make a big difference. Planetside 2 on the other hand (beautiful game BTW) would often stray around 50% CPU usage and 70% GPU usage even when bottlenecked.
And even on low it looks good as you said. It's not like the old days where medium was ugly and low would do serious damage to your eyes.
Yes, was playing with a nice smooth framerate at 4K.
Can I work for Nvidia too? I'll burn my 7870 and edit all my posts critical of Nvidia!
Which is a maximum 30 fps if im not mistaken? Either way I know I'll be fine, metro LL was one of the games that influenced my setup so just curious from someone who's played it.

Same here, but based on the first game it seems like I wouldn't be missing much except an addition to my screenshots folder.

lol Are people really complaining because the game gives you the OPTION to allow it to look better?
I've seen it all now.
Does this game use >2GB if VRAM or does it limit / dynamically load to stay under?

You're done with PC gaming because the game will take advantage of a wide range of hardware configurations? I don't get it.
I haven't seen it go over 2GB, but when it's all kicking off I'm looking at the screen rather than the overlay, so I can't say for certain.

Better optimized, sounds good. Looks like I'm well off with my 660 Ti and i7 975.
Has just been confirmed on geforce.com by Admin
"Folks, Optimum is talking about 2560x, max DirectX 11 game settings with full-res fullscreen effects, DirectX 11 object and environment tessellation, 2048x2048 textures, and hardware PhysX effects.
The game is highly optimized, allowing 4A to run all that stuff simultaneously at such a high resolution on one TITAN, two 670s, two 680s, or one 690. If it weren't optimized this would be impossible"

I am hoping for at least 30 fps with lower AA at 1080p on a gtx 680.

I ain't against it. I'm just saying a Metro game isn't worth upgrading for. I'll probably play it in a few years or something.

Can you link me to the post where they're linked? I can't see any links linking to pictures outside of the ones on Nvidia's page.
Disappointing. "Titan" should be remove from the thread title.
