My HD5850 caught on fire as soon as I opened this thread.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor PC Performance Thread

PC you have more control over fps vs IQ. Also in terms of longevity, future PC version years better when revisited on newer hardware down the road. Not to mention it can be found for literally half the price. I have a Ps4 but I didn't even consider that version for the above reasons.

Got this preloaded on steam with a 770 2gb...hoping I can run it at 1080p 30+fps on high settings.
Im hopeful for this game. The Evil Within is when the real nightmares start.

GeForce GTX 555 is what he has

My god @ that benchmark. This game looks like poo and barely runs over 60.
"Good ports due to console PC architecture we'll get" they said.

There's a shit ton of compression in that video, it's impossible to tell whether it looks good or bad. Youtube can make Crysis 3 look meh. And there's no reason to think it's not a good port, he's getting over 60 FPS with everything set to max, including tessellation which the consoles don't have at all. 970 isn't an expensive card.

I don't think this game will be a graphical showpiece, Youtube or not. 970 is not expensive but new and very good. Anyway, maybe my reaction was a bit quick, we don't know what effects are in use overall and Nvidia drivers may help improve performance. Still, when looking at the PS4 version, this game should run well even on older cards.

Any thoughts on how an i5-3570k and 2GB 7870 will handle this game at 1080p?

Ugh I wish I could afford a new card. My HD6850 just isn't going to up to the task with these new games. Looks like I might have to suffer through medium settings.
ill let you know once the game unlocks on steam!
I just sold off my 280x for the extra cash needed to get a 290, bring it on Shadow of Mordor.

How does it run ingame? same as the benchmark? (tomb raider benchmark e.g is a lot more demanding than most of the game minus shanty town)
Do the graphics look like that in the game ? Or is the benchmark environment more detailed? In screenshots and videos of gameplay the ground was always just a flat texture with drawn on rocks (tons of pebbles and added geometry here in the benchmark)
If it looks like that ingame it somehow looks quite a lot nicer than the screenshots and videos posted before..
Still, 70 ish fps with dips to 40ish on a gtx 970 is pretty poor performance, it doesn't look that good...
At least the ingame settings menu is pretty good, downsampling support in the menu, clearly labeled settings and enough of them.
Living the good life. Nice.

unified mem and that cpu/gpu on the same die.
it's nice because consoles are forcing parallel processing to be utilized on games. it's 2014 and with all the tech that pc has, most games only use 2 cores.
Fuck this game... Witcher 3 will weep at your rig.

Why do people still act shocked at no SLI profiles at launch? Isn't it a common thing to add support later?

Depends on the game. Some games get it prior to release, some games don't. Just disappointed this is in the "don't" column.

So what's the best deal on this on PC? I saw people posting that GreenManGaming code, but that doesn't seem to work with Shadow of Mordor. I'm considering getting it since I have a GTX 770M and no car currently to pick up my PS4 preorder.

.... I think you're set for just about anything.
As long as you overclock the thing it should hold you over for quite some time (I got lucky with a 4.5 GHz overclock on mine).
Are you running your CPU stock? Seriously guys, give overclocking a try, you didn't buy a K branded processor for nothing!
I hope

I've never bought from them (too lazy to set up info) but this is your best bet besides traders or GAF's B/S/T thread.
I heard Nuuvem isn't giving out keys till tomorrow. Some BS excuse about only Steam buyers getting to pre-load.

I'm sure there will be some inspector sli compatibility bits figured out soon enough and a new beta probably within the week
Weird. I literally just today got a new code offer today from Greenmangaming in my email advertising 25% Shadow of Mordor specifically for only 24 more hours.
The email was literally titled "One pre-purchase to rule them all."
But yeah aside from that the dudes in Buy Sell Trade are good reliable peeps. Hit one up with a Pm. I got a few copies from this guy in particular: www.tinyurl.com/neogafmordor
I translated the Portuguese forum post where the guy explains they were hoping the vendor, which he says GMG also uses, would have sent the keys at the same time but they didn't - only GMG have gotten their keys. So yeah, I guess tomorrow :/

Hopefully this thing unlocks in an hour. I'm really eager to see what the 6gb fuss is all about.
780ti / 4670k / 16gb ram, lets do this.

It will run on older cards if you tone down the settings like the PS4.
That video you're referring to was also showing the benchmark. Those tend to be more stressing than regular gameplay benchmarks because they've been purposefully tailored to stress hardware more. But I don't see how 73 (and that's an average too) is just over 60.
Community Manager for Monolith has been pretty insistent it is supposed to unlock at midnight Eastern.
