You're gonna love these. He says it's running a bit worse in Paris, so about 30fps average.

 

[Naedtrax]

Dat hair, haha.

Looks great, i really cannot wait to play it.. massive AC fan and 100%'ed all the other games

 

[ISee]

Any word on sli scaling or vram usage ?

Nope. We also have to wait for PC-Patch 1.2... Ubisoft is only deploying Patch 1.1.0 atm via UPlay as it seems.

[Jtrizzy]

I've activated my Nvidia game code, is there any way to pre-load on Uplay?

Not in the US...

 

[orava]

Uh.. Those shots.

 

[Evo X]

I think we should start a fresh thread tomorrow when everyone actually has the game and the patches/drivers have rolled out.

This thread is full of whiny bullshit, even more so than the usual Assassin's Creed thread.

 

[Nokterian]

Dat hair..dat AA..Triple AAA game!

Where did you get this from?

 

[ref]

Game looks pretty great to me, aside from the hair being a little wonky, but that's almost universal in games.

Hoping I can get at least 60 fps maxed out @ 1440p with SLI 980's.

 

[jowell24]

This thread is like 95% shit posts

^

EDIT: After the first few pages of comments that % goes down. Personally I think it's a good looking game but it can definitely be accepted that this isn't a well optimised port as could be.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Dat hair..dat AA..Triple AAA game!

AAAAAAAAA

 

[Fedelias]

How's 970 performance looking so far? Really hoping I can get ~30 fps at max settings (or close to max).

 

[Nokterian]

AAAAAAAAA

You forgot since it is made by 10 studio's lol.

 

[Skyzard]

Stream has been 30-40fps for a while just in the city (ground level) again. Not sure if he changed something.

http://www.twitch.tv/badgroll

I heard shadows were on low.


Those look good CyberPunked.
Do you know if he can get a stable 60 at lower rez?

 

[dEvAnGeL]

so no chance a GTX 770 will run this at 60f/1080p with a mix of high and medium settings?

 

[UrbanRats]

Uh.. Those shots.

? They look great to me, hair aside, that look weird depending on the shot.

 

[orava]

? They look great to me, hair aside, that look weird depending on the shot.

I'm actually also liking how the game looks overall but there are some funny details there. Like some textures and models that could be straight from a game released in 2003.

 

[N1ghtW4lk3R]

At least HBAO+ seems to be very well implemented.

It looks like the material shaders are more or less ok but could do with more highlights and stronger specular mapping. This should really bring up the detail in the surface. I hope this is something that could be modded in.

Maybe...BlackFlag still looks impressive, can be Unity worse than than?

I find that really hard to swallow.

 

[Qassim]

so no chance a GTX 770 will run this at 60f/1080p with a mix of high and medium settings?

It depends entirely on which settings you're moving around.

 

[JudgeN]

Any tried this on a 5820k or higher yet? Wonder if the 2 extra cores will put in work for this title.

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

I think the game looks beautiful so far. The community on gaf is like a angry mob with pitchforks, yes I'm new here... Ya'll haven't even touched it yet!

Here I made this for you....

Spoiler

don't yell at me

[TheFNEffecT]

AMD just dropped a patch with Advanced Warfare and Assassin's creed Unity Optimization fixes....if this has Crossfire support day one I'll be very impressed.

I just bought a stupidly expensive gaming laptop with a 870m in it, and it won't even be able to run it properly by the looks of things.
Honestly, what's the point in a PC version when they cut off a massive chunk of their market by demanding tech barely anyone has to run it?

Ah well, at least those screenshots you took were pretty, OP.

I can't speak for mobile cards, but what did you expect? It's a laptop. I'd still wager you'll be able to play it.

 

[Kinthalis]

Any vpn ways to play yet? OR is the only way picking up a retial copy?

 

[Tahnit]

any benches for an i7 920 rig yet?

 

[Skyzard]

Does Origin punish you for VPN unlocking?

 

[Windom Earle]

Should have included hair instead of 5000 NPCs.

 

[ref]

Does Origin punish you for VPN unlocking?

I doubt it.

I know I've done it in the past with several games and never had any issues.

 

[Skyzard]

Awesome! Thanks. Won't have to wait till Friday to play hopefully.

Thanks!

I got a 270 (non-x) and a gtx 970. I was gonna test the game with my 290, but alas it's getting RMA'd... It's going to be interesting running the game with a 270, which has about the same performance, but still significantly more powerful, than the PS4's GPU. It should also give an idea of how a 7850/7870 and a 270x should perform, for those that have this kinds of GPU's...

I am also gonna try and run this game in my laptop which has an i7 3610qm processor and a 650m just for fun. I was trying to use a VPN/Proxy to change my location to try and see if Unity from Uplay would unlock and let me download the game. It didn't work. Gonna have to wait a few more hours. For anyone that's interested, I have a Sapphire 270 dual-x, and a zotac 970. I have a 4790k, and I will downclock, and disable some cores/hyper threading, to simulate an i5, and an i3. It's going to be fun experimenting with Unity.

 

[jim2point0]

You're gonna love these. He says it's running a bit worse in Paris, so about 30fps average.

.... you're posting the download links. SO trying to open those images in another tab just downloads them instead. Remove the "_d" from the end.

I'm not nearly as impressed with this screenshots as I was with the initial reveal.

 

[kostacurtas]

I noticed that there isn't an option in the game for the tessellation but there is an option in the ACU.ini and it is off by default.

Tessellation is one of the PC version features.

 

[Tahnit]

is there any chance my i7 920 at 3.4 ghz is going to run this game acceptably?

This stream is hilarious. I'm a PC gamer for the most part, but he is doing exactly what people rag on PC gamers for doing. Literally changing graphics options every 30 seconds, lol. Jesus christ just play the game!

Its unwatchable. Though I'm not sure if people are asking him to change the options, I can't German.

i usually spend the first 2 hours of a game doing just that.
Gotta know what's the best compromise for me, man.

Unless i can just run maxed out at 60... in that case i try to 4k.

 

[twobear]

Character models are among the best I've ever seen in a game. The skin shaders are amazing.

It's a new demanding game. I can't blame anyone for spending time to tweak.

Looks really good, and the map is massive. Pretty hyped.

So is my 7850 gonna catch on fire trying to play this?

It is isn't it? ;_;

I generally never need that much time to tweak. I would say like 15 minutes on average. Its usually pretty clear what settings are bogging down performance and where to compromise.

I love having graphics options and being able to tailor my performance, but I guess I'm different than most PC gamers in that once I find something that's giving me the performance I want (as close to 60fps as possible at 1080p), I turn FRAPS off and just enjoy the game.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Haha, there really is a Simpsons pic for everything.

 

[woen]

God those high-res pics. PS4 and XBO, 2013-2014.

 

[Melpontro]

No Nvidia Faceworks in Unity, right?
For some reason I was under the assumption it had it, but I can't seem to find anything on it. Guess I might have just been thinking about Arkham Knight.
