You have a kickass rig that blows the PS4 out of the water. Unless you're concerned about multiplayer population, there is no dilemma. Your PC will definitely run the game at above 1080p/30fps and with better IQ
Tessellation is not in game yet. So my guess is that you will be able to disable it when tessellation patch comes out.

Getting a solid 60 on ultra with PCSS and 2x MSAA with my 970, but I've only played the intro.
Nuts. They recommend a GTX680 to play on LOW settings.
yes
oh my... I have no words.....

Andy your guides are always great. What happened to the metro redux guide? I was looking forward to that. Any rough eta on the tessellation update?
Check the Nvidia guide. Its an option.
Also gotta say the game looks much better than previous screens have led me to believe. Truly does have a lot going on, for better or worse(depending on what you were hoping to achieve with your PC!).
And from that guide, I'd say that Environmental Detail is mostly worthless beyond 'High', so that might be a starting point for reducing the normal settings. And if you're not doing contact hardened shadows, the difference between low and high shadows isn't that big, either. Lastly, MSAAx2 seems plenty for a good IQ.
I didn't feel there was enough new, technologically, to justify an entirely new guide for Redux. Most of LL's tech went into 2033 Redux, and LL Redux got a bit of a spit and polish here and there.
As for ACU tessellation, not going to give an ETA because people get upset when you miss the estimate.
That usually depends on what else you have in your rig, but assuming everything else isn't super old, you'll still be able to run the game but with many periods of multi-second stuttering.

PC version Q: does game have true 16:10 or is it forced 16:9 (black bars)?
Game looks ridiculously nice. Definitely the first generation leap in AC visuals since AC2.
On my overkill setup it gets pretty locked 60fps outside of cutscenes with 2x MSAA and shadows on HIGH, everything else on max.
GTX 980 OC, i7 4790k, 16gb ram, SSD.
Liking the game except for the forced companion app/web-game chests.
Also TXAA is ridiculous performance hog, why even make another AA solution if it's going to have such a bad hit. Worse performance than 8x MSAA.

The PC screens in the Geforce article look magnificent, if consoles use the ultra high texture setting I think 900p is actually a good trade off for that !

The 970 is becoming more and more tempting...

Any impressions with first gen i7s yet?

Just preordered on GMG. $62.50, thanks to a couple bucks of old credit and the VIP discount. Here's hoping my 4GB GTX780M And my 32GB of RAM can handle 1080p120 (or at least 60) without AA.
....at 1080p, which is a much higher resolution than either console versions. If you want better image quality @ 1080p you're going to need a rig that's substantially more powerful than what's in the ps4 or xbone. That's just basic math.
The game looks...pretty good even on low settings.
I wonder what settings do consoles use, probably medium/high given that they run at 900p. At 1080p they would have no choice but low settings (high/ultra high for textures still).
I doubt consoles are running with low setting equivalents, though. A 680 *is* a fair bit more powerful than the console's GPU, so you'd think they could at least get away with some mix of medium/high settings at 1080p. Which, reading back a bit, does sound possible.
Probably just a bad estimate by the writer of the article(no offense).
Low textures and environmental detail would hurt pretty badly.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping I could at least start downloading before class, but that's probably not going to happen.

texture quality typically has nothing to do with performance. the console textures are probly a mix of ultra and high like watch dogs.

FX-8350 and OC 970 here. Getting around 45 FPS in Paris with all the bells and whistles turned on. I locked to 30 with Riva tuner and it never drops and the pacing is perfect in borderless window mode.
This game would look great if it weren't for the god-awful temporal aliasing. Not even TXAA seems to be able to touch. The gold fixtures in houses are shimmering messes. Does anybody have a fix?

True, frankly I would advise anyone with a 2gb GPU to skip the game.
Probably.

Also because the recommendations were made using a pre-release build.

I'm getting 30-45fps most of the time with a 7970 and a i5 3570k on Medium-High. But sometimes it goes below 30 on crowded enviroments.

Err... PS4 has 1,8 TFLOPS a GTX 680 over 3 TFLOPS. Even without console optimization it should be enough to run it at 1080p60 and highest settings.
What the hell... the situation is way worse than I imagined.

Yeah no, because it's a bad optimized port. It would be yes, clearly yes, if it would be good optimized

66% more GPU power = 188% more performance?
That. Unfortunately, my Windows took an Assassin-style nosedive off the side of a building this morning, but without a bale of hale beneath. Whenever I finish backing up and reinstalling I'll be able to jump into the retail release, though I'm unsure if the Steam version is using 1.2. Anyone know?

Its not only about TFLOPS but also about some other aspects.

Jesus, runs great maxed out on a 770 4gb card... But these textures, there's so many pop in issues, and at any distance over 200m or so, they just don't render.
Well feel free to expect miracles out of any piece of hardware. I'll keep my "low standards".
is it your gpu that's getting maxed out? have you looked at cpu utilization? what's your cpu clocked at?

A GTX680 not getting 60fps at high settings @ 1080p is completely unsurprising. You have extremely unrealistic expectations what a GTX680 can do.

Is your 3570k stock?
The best way to improve your FPS in Paris is to overclock your CPU. And for performance testing go to the Notre Dame http://international.download.nvidi...nity/assassins-creed-unity-screenshot-003.png
That's one of the most demanding locations in my experience.
