Some of us were probably kind of expecting a 90+ metacritic.
But the blurbs I'm seeing are exactly what I want to hear so I guess the fault is just that it's not THAT different (and may be on the short side?)

Even with a bad story V's gameplay sure made it worthwhile.
I hope the same is the case for Deus Ex if the story is a flop.

oh my Jensen's hair @_@ look at how the wind blows through it
Good scores.
I try not to follow fames that I'm interested in too much to avoid finding out things that I don't really want to know, this has been one of those games. Has there bee many confirmation whether the game will allow you to take your augmentations it repeated plays or not?

There wasn't a hub but there was a level that took place in Montreal.

That's not going to happen most likely. You don't have enough VRAM even for medium settings I would think.
That tech puts NV's HairWorks into shame.
DE is the by the books definition of cyberpunk i.e. advanced tech, neon lights, hazy atmosphere, low quality of life unless it's the really rich people who live and work in grand buildings that evoke an art style that is mix of technology and classic.
It's very very similar to Bladerunner which we all know is cyberpunk.

I know
it's hard to ignore. Pretty much thread crap.I am hoping that he DX12 mode has multi gpu though, like the DX11 mode.

Seriously? You don't see an issue with having under 60 FPS with top of the line card at 1080p even with those settings?I know

I mean, in the benchmark I quoted they were running 4K ultra. And some of the benchmarks show high running twice the framerate of Ultra. So dropping it down to high, and dropping AA all together, will more than likely net me 8 average FPS..
3.5gb vram is enough for high settings
edit - oh you probably mean at 4k. ignore me.

The 1080p ultra setting benchmark has 980TI at 50ish FPS. That card was top of the line 3 months ago.
If you read further, the game is also very CPU heavy. Their benchmarks were done with 8 core I believe. Need more benchmarks at more moderate settings but there seem to be some issues, IMO.

I think it was 4x.
Yeah, at 4K I don't think that's enough judging by those benches.
No, no, with Nvidia you really don't want DirectX 12 here. Performance is terrible. AMD does better though.
Yep, can't wait to get that choked performance with my i5 6600K.

More reviewers this gen are starting to understand that a 10 point review system goes from 1-10 & not 7-10 so anything over 80+ should make for a great game hopefully. Can't wait.

1080p30 on my GTX 970. Well, time to look for a new GPU next year!
Damnit, I knew this would be one of those games that wouldn't be hitting 60FPS.
Well, I mean, that benchmark is at max settings though.
Hm, I am very disappointed with the performance in a post-MGSV world. What I can hope for at this point is if like The Witcher 3, there are a few settings that really drop the FPS while not effecting the actual look much. What is the "nvdidia hairworks" of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided?

Yes. The pre-order DLC (covert agent pack) includes 3 outfits for Jensen apparently. Not sure if you can buy more in-game.
Improved TressFX. I think they call it PureHair or something like that.
The contact hardening shadows and MSAA will be the massive hitters.

mgs5 barely had a story, comparing that with dxmd would be a huge disservice to the latter. also, none of the reviewers say it has a bad story, a few are merely of the opinion that the story isn't as good for a deus ex game.
my take on it.

I am going to wait to play his till after Zen releases Q1 which will hopefully make Intel drop the price. My 3770K isn't going to do well here even overclocked.
Have some of you just recently gotten into PC gaming? Any recent AAA game slays my 1080 if I run MSAA that high on Ultra.
Turning it down and setting shadows lower is pretty much the first thing I do in every game after I set ultra.
Technically, the new Titan X is top of the line, not the GTX 1080.
I don't know if they released any benchmarks with it, but it should easily do over 60fps at 1080p.

I thought a 970 was the recommended? Garbage PC port confirmed?
Recommended != benchmarks with everything absolutely maxed.

Yeah, that's what a low fps on max settings means...
This is the usually yelling at Ultra settings perf being lower, yet not having any info on what each setting at Ultra preset is doing and costing in performance.
For example moving from high to Ultra changes:
- volumetric lighting from "On" to "Ultra" - what the hell is that doing, what is the performance cost etc (I suspect this could be more costly than most, as it has been in some other games)
- Screenspace reflections from "On" to "Ultra", no idea of the performance cost
- Contact hardening shadows "Off" to "Ultra", no idea of the performance cost
etc etc
And this doesn't even take into the account what the difference might be if this is using the DX12 renderer for each. Once we actually have all the info, then maybe some complaining can be done if it is nonsensical, if not, then this whining is for nothing.

It really makes you wonder.
Then again, I'm recalling that shitty "UH OH Deus Ex on PC sure ain't lookin' good!" thread and that probably helped to color people's expectations
HOLY SHIT
Do you even play PC games? Real question.
Edit: I guess you do, so like you should know about ultra benchmarks n shit

Does this game look as good as TW3 and does ad much as well to guarantee those fps?

980 Ti here
Contact hardening Shadows and Anti Aliasing are likely big performance hits. Volumetrc lighting can be as well. I will be interesting to se how it runs turning down Anti Aliasing and seeing Digital Foundry and Geforce Guide comparisons and what each setting actually does.
Thanks, I thought that there would be.
Switching from On to Ultra just means they start using full resolution buffers instead of half/quarter resolution. Contact hardening shadows by itself is a computationally expensive feature. It calculates the distance of object from the lightsources and considers the shape of object to provide realistic soft shadows.
And Soft shadows by themselves is something you don't see in games...even today.
