Mad Max PC performance thread
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
Pentium G3258 @ 4.5GHz
8GB Ram
AMD 260X 2GB
Defaulted to high @ 720p
Upped the resolution to 1080p, maxed anisotropic filtering and dropped the shadow resolution to normal. 90 minutes in and it's very smooth.
Only noticeable drop in frame rate was in the intro during the close-up of the big guy that jumps down and occasionally a little bit of tearing. (But that was before dropping the shadow resolution.)

Same card and screen as me... can't wait!

Just got it for £12.99 from CDkeys, downloading now, will see how my i5 2500k and MSI GTX 760 handles the game. hopefully I won't have to turn down too much to get a decent framerate.

You should be fine on the High preset, possibly Very High (assuming 60fps target @ 1080p).

I have an i7 4970 OC'ed to 4.8ghz and a GTX 970 and I'm able to get everything full at 1080p with 60fps no problem.
I also played it at 4k on my TV and it hoovers from 40-45fps but looks gorgeous. Having a hard time deciding which way to play it!

game looks very outdated so its good that it apparently runs well. hopefully we get some benchmarks soon.

This is one of the best looking games available on any platform you play it on. All things considered, including the fact that Mad Max is open world, I just can't agree with that opinion in the least.

its one of, if not the worst looking aaa next gen games. mgs looks better and its a cross gen port and it runs at twice the framerate on consoles. this looks like a lunch title port of a gen 7 game imo.

It's not really surprising it runs well. It's a pretty barren place with not much architecture. I wouldn't necessary praise Avalanche for being shit-hot programmers (I am sure they are good) when there isn't a lot of geometry going on.
Wow, that's a pretty awesome review. One of the best ones I've seen on there.

That's definitely up for debate. If you think the game looks so poor for a AAA next game, I'm trying to figure why you're even here in this thread. Game looks amazing for a next game or otherwise. I can't think of anything else that looks better(maybe GTA V is more impressive with everything happening in that world)with all things considered. *shrugs*

so im not allowed to post in or read a thread if i dont think its a good looking game?
Most people think it looks pretty damn good. Myself included. It works it's style very well. Plus it looks good at 60fps on PC. Metal Gear also looks great but they are two different games. You're against the grain.

It's just strange that someone hating on a game they clearly don't have interest in would find themselves in a thread. It is what it is
Nice. I hope WB takes note.
i5 4690k @ 4ghz, GTX 970 SLI, 16gb memory running max settings at 1440p averaging over 100fps most of the time. But it's only the first 15 minutes or so. I expect the average will drop but not substantially.
That is bizarre. Mine is running at 144hz. Have you checked your NVIDIA control panel to make sure you're actually set to 144hz globally?

Outdated? Lemme get some of what you're having.

So played for an hour just to test it out, game looks and runs great, it seems to be well optimized for the most part.
i5 2500k, 8GB RAM and MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr runs it @ 1080p/60fps with just about everything maxed out. I turned a couple of things down by 1 notch to stop the mild dips but overall performance is great and I've not played with my card overclocked yet.

Made a HUD toggle, so you can play it HUDless if you want:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/mu1cfo63sp6y439/MadMaxHudToggle.rar
Toggle the HUD with caps lock or the right thumb stick if you have an xbox controller.
I'll be away from my comupter for a week so I can't test it that much, but it seems to be working fine.

I have limited room on my SSD so I don't usually put games on my SSD by default but in this case it made a pretty big difference. I was able to put everything to very high and I seem to be doing just fine at 1440p/60 FPS except when an autosave kicks in I drop to around 40 which causes a pretty noticeable stutter.
Anyone else having this issue and figure out a way around it?

Anyone notice the refresh rate not sticking in the options? I change it to 120Hz and save but it always reverts back to 60. This is the only game I have doing this

Disagree there, the reason MGS runs at 60 on even last gen consoles is because it's not really pushing any boundaries in graphics. It looks nice. No doubt. But not "hnnnnnnnnnng next gen" nice.
A bit like how Nintendo get most of their games to 60fps.

i agree, still looks better than mad max imo
Runs great on my machine (rock solid 60fps @ 1920 x 1200) with all settings at their highest.

Haven't seen any juddering, stuttering or any other nasty presentation issues either, which is really nice. Some better AA options would be great, but FXAA gets the job done.

Probs not fully fixed until late this year. No word from WB yet.

Is GMG 40% still the best deal available?

Yeah I get a drop to about 30fps for about 2 seconds sometimes when it autosaves, it's weird, not a deal breaker as the rest of the game is a solid 60fps but would be nice to see a patch to fix it.

Why do so many on Steam review a game with so little actual gametime logged? I understand that in the case of games that have been out for a while that they may played them elsewhere but this MAD MAX game is like 2 days old and already has over 1500 reviews and most of them only have about 1-5 hours of playtime. It's like writing a review for a movie after watching the the opening credits.
I'm running max settings (on a 980 Ti at 1440p) and hitting 85 FPS. That last bit is due to the settings, since I need to probably fix something (I have a 144hz monitor, but it will only let me do 84hz). It hasn't dropped below that tough, so I expect I can get higher FPS.
nice... Thank you very much. In Game photomode works only in 16:9 aspect ration. Now is possible make panorama shots

I heard playing in borderless windowed mode fixes it but haven't had a chance to test that yet
Ah, I only noticed just now that my monitor is set on 85hz, but that's also the maximum, I can't select 144hz. I guess I need to get a higher quality DP-cable?

Because PC Gamers seem to rate a game on performance rather than it's actual context these days on STEAM since most ports are trash. They get excited when something as glorious as Mad Max comes along that runs as smooth as cocoa butter.

Anyone know if it's possible to change the FOV ? While it already looks great on PC, opening up the FOV a little, would really let the wasteland feel even more epic.
