Seems like a pretty solid improvement across the board over other platforms.
I remember when Godrays were amazing...... age of conan in 2008.
The implementation they use for this game, and Assassins Creed IV (first time we saw it) is NVIDIA, yes.
It does, but its *so* taxing. But turning it off seems to create that sort of aliasing horror that we're seeing lately from poorly anti-aliased hair/fur. Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't, unless you've got a really powerful card.
DX11 tessellated God Rays. The difference is drastic in some locations.
I don't think they showed it well there in the video. I think its really apparent when you see an object's shadow coming right off of the object and into the distance a bit. It doesn't look right when the entire shadow is well-defined.
When you just see it on a wall like they showed in the video, it is more realistic, but you're not seeing how far away the object is to really make it apparent how soft or defined it should be.
I admit it will be one of the first things I turn off if my performance isn't what I want, though.
No, just that they worked with Nvidia to optimize the effect for the game. At least that is how I took it.
Undoubtedly, the Face Off thread is going to be entertaining.
I am expecting pc to come out as the top platform graphics wise, as it always should for a multiplatform release. Still, people will shout from the rooftops that their console of choice could produce better graphics and that it is a lazy port job or parity bs.
That's the narrative I expect to see.
100 dollars more for the capability to have an effect that will kill framerate
Andy, do you know if SLI is on the cards for this title? It's not mentioned with the other features on NVIDIA's site for this game.

It looks like it has some pretty severe black crush.
Hairworks doesn't use PhysX.

Nvidias game effects are the only thing that make me think about building a gaming PC.
ubisoft games are usually SLI ready
It does not even use CUDA.
Every single one of them. But be warned though : Hairworks uses isoline tessellation which is not efficient on GCN cards. Performance hit is going to be even more egregious.
No thanks, they can't work (and shouldn't) together. Competition breeds innovation.
You can use any features aside from TXAA but as stipulated above the performance hit will most likely be more severe. Gameworks is highly optimized for Nvidia cards (obviously), they are in no obligation whatsoever to optimize for their rivals.
It's up to AMD to get in touch with Ubi to make sure the game runs as well as it can on their hardware.
Yes, it uses directcompute.
Excellent! There is hope!

But would it melt PS4?
Some very nice stuff in there, especially the hair. I don't really want the game, but it would be nice to test my 970s... FC3 had moments of brilliance but was too much Ubisoft formula. Oh, and can we ban TXAA? I want that MFAA.

Or anticompetetive behaviour
Those tigers have hair that is almost as luxurious as the Witcher wolves, but not quite. They should use a different shampoo.

I wouldn't put it past either side. Both Nvidia and AMD will do everything they can to have an edge against the competition.
If this is the price to pay for enhancements on PC I'll take it.
If other games that implement this stuff are anything to go off:
TXAA won't be available on non NVIDIA hardware.
HBAO+ runs on AMD hardware on ANY game supporting it. same goes for god rays.

I thought TXAA would fade away after they anounced MFAA. I know some people find it blurry and all but I kinda like the soft look it gave to Black Flag on X4 settings.

I don't see why it would. MFAA and TXAA have two different goals for handling aliasing.
