DF Face-Off: Far Cry 3

25fps25fps25fps18fps25fps :lol

So bad.

I could take the Castlevania framerate on PS3, the input lag in KZ2, but this? Holy crap

Well, Ill get that new Ratchet and The last of us on ps3. And beyond.

But wow consoles REALLY suck now.

My gfx card is 4 years old and I ran FC2 on med-high in 1080p... Havent tried this tho
 
Lords of Shadow is one of my favorite games of this gen. Considering the size and everything that is going on here, I'll be able to overlook it. Judging by the reception the game is getting, it seems most are able to do so as well.

Lords of shadow is fascinating in that its framerate mostly sat in the low 20 exclusively yet never bothered me due to its amazing motionblur that masked it incredibly well

LOVE that game

I beg to differ. Looks to the new Hitman. Quite impressive & with tons of npc. I'm fascinating how smart are some developers with those hardware.
 
Not surprising as the game is pretty poorly optimized on PC as well and it is a Ubisoft open world game. I'm still getting it next week. Hopefully it isn't too bad.

DX11's poorly implemented, but the game itself's quite well optimized in DX9. I get a stable (and I mean stable) 60fps with max settings on a GTX 670 and i5 2500k at 4.5GHz.

Isn't exactly a misery pc. I'm interested in my modest AMD 4 cores, gpu 6750 how run.
 
is dx11 multi-core rendering coming back, or have they just shitcanned the feature?

It's still in the config.

No, I don't have a run-of-the-mill PC, but a few games recently I've not been able to run at 60fps maxed out. Assassin's Creed III, Hitman: Absolution (not even close lol), and NFS: Most Wanted to be specific.

I don't think it makes consoles shine at all.


Game looks impressive on console.

I should have clarified. Multiplatform seems to suck a bit

Stuff like KZ3, Uncharted, Wipeout HD, helle even SoTC HD WOW me everytime I start it up. But this big open world game is just too demanding it seems


4 years is pretty old for a card, its a mid range too. Just suprised how much better it still runs stuff, Skyrim , The darkness 2 etc

Im saying FC 3 will run worse on that card

I'm not impressed in the slightest by Hitman on consoles, if I had to showcase console gaming this would be the last game I choose.

The PC version with the bells and whistles is another story.

Your not getting his point at all eventually.
 
Guys in your opinion is Crysis 1 more demanding than Farcry3? Im just downloading a Crysis1 demo to see if my pc can run it acceptably.

I'm not referring to the game quality of Hitman, but honestly I found it tech wise very impressive on console. It uses a lot of good shaders & other features with steady fps, it's quite remarkable, just looking for example how run RE6 (& with worse texture).

Unless it's a completely outdated card it will still run it better than the PS360 versions.

I played it a little bit on 360 and was utterly unimpressed.
 
Gamersyde videos made the 360 version look better than I expected, but the game is huge so it isn't surprising there are rough spots. I'll wait to see the overall reaction is once the game has been played by more people.
 
Do you guys think we'll get a Wii U port? Those console versions look atrocious to the point where I couldn't spend money on it.

Find it personally unimpressive or specify why it is impressive (tech wise), is a very different story, with all respect.

Could be even more atrocious. I suspect Wii U could be even worse of ps3 in a free roam. CPU is very important.
 
Doubt it and on a PC monitor if not played on a native resolution, game will look crap.

Can it look worse than the console versions ? I doubt it.

I have yet to receive my package but I played it on a 5870....And well it runs very well at 1600*900 high settings/DX11.

Not bad at all for a 2009 card.:)

If the end results is not easy on the eyes I could not care less.
 
Come on, man. The game is not some broken, unplayable mess and it is getting glowing reviews across all platforms. If any of this was a deal breaker, you would think it would be mentioned by at least someone in the reviews. It is just a huge, demanding game with a lot going on, but is still amazing all the same. I know I am going to enjoy it.

Heh. Reviewers don't give a shit about performance or IQ. They always ignore it, no matter how bad it is. Or they note it but still give the game 9-10/10

5870 is a really good card. I was talking in lines with a 9xxx series and 4xxx series from nvidia and ati

Eh, but here we are talking of personal preference. To my eyes is very pleasant & I'm not talking only of tech. But I understand different strokes.
 
Whilst I agree with everyone calling out for new consoles, I don't think that excuses the poor performance. Devs know what these things are capable of, they should work within the limits.

As a PC gamer that also owns the consoles I don't want the devs to stop pushing the technical limit because Sony and Microsoft are to cheap to put our new consoles sooner.

Hell as a PC gamer innovation has been capped for years due to the consoles.

Its a 4830

Only thing I cant run at 1080p is BF3 MP, open world stuff like Skyrim, FC3, Just Cause runs at 1080p

Even on medium @ 1080p it will look better than a console. :) Gonna upgrade to a 7770 soon though

It appears I did not get your point....

Hum...My apologies then.

Fine, it may be "technologically impressive" for a 2005/2006 console but....huh it looks really bad to me.

Has PC gaming spoiled me to the point of no return ? Ha.

A pity we are enough OT, but I would like to understand what has of so bad Hitman for you.

4830 is a weak card.
You cant run BF3 at all because its a DX 11 game.
and Most likly FC 3 will barely run on this card

Terrible IQ for a start. Severe aliasing, blur, low-res textures and average lighting.

That's what I saw on consoles. The GI solution found on PC version would have done wonders to the PS360 versions.

That's encouraging to hear, I'm rocking a 5870 as well. But I still wonder whether my E8500's up to the task or not :(. Crysis does look and run wonderfully though. Is Crysis still considered a good benchmark? D:
 
They updated the article

[Update: we're now more inclined to go towards FXAA being deployed on consoles, exhibiting different forms of the faux-MSAA shading effect we see in some games like Driver: San Francisco]. This will come as a relief to players of Far Cry 2 on PS3, which utilised the GPU's native quincunx post-processing method to quash the jaggies. This time, we're left with a far clearer image as a result of the changes.

O_O it seems the exact opposite to my eyes. At least, on console. Maybe just the aliasing/blur, but the rest it's quite... questionable.
 
Interesting note :

big improvement considering FC2 had dithered shadows on 360.

Well, your CPU is going to be a severe bottleneck.

I don't understand if this dithering artifact on ps3 could depend to try to 'emulate' the shadow 'DOF' effect filter for the long distance of the pc version. Well, I don't know what is it the proper term, my apologies.

Wha... Ive played BF3 single and multiplayer

What the hell are you on about, its a DX10 card. BF3 is DX10 & 11 >.<
 
Well, your CPU is going to be a severe bottleneck.

That much I know, but it's done me well so far :P. I'm just curious as to how far I can push the game while maintaining at least 30 fps.

Even Metro 2033 and The Witcher 2 run pretty nicely. One day I'll update to something fresher, but now the money's just not there.

EDit: ANd then I remembered that christmas is just around the corner..hm. Any recommendations for a cheap but obvious upgrade from my current CPU? I could ask in the PC thread but eh!

Edit #2: Actually, I will, let's not bog down the thread with my PC hardware talk.
