Is the ultra pack available in the download yet, or will it be a day 1 update?

It does say that without it installed, selecting Ultra is the same as High.
 
Wondering if I can Squeeze Ultra textures from my 3gb 780ti, i7, 16gb rig.

I hope I can, the game looks nice but nothing exceptional.

So no problems at all with the ultra textures on that 970? No stuttering? Also, could you check how much RAM it uses while playing?

Fairly certain ultra textures aren't out yet. He's on Ultra but the tooltip says no difference from High if they're not installed.
 
is it just me, or does 480p on youtube look like shit nowadays?
I don't think it's just you, myself and one other person have noticed int he past week or so that YT's compression seems to have gotten worse. It's especially noticeable at 1080p which used to be MOSTLY clear - there's now artifacts everywhere.
 
You're really asking that with the 6GB VRAM recommendation for 1080p?

It's probably a good game, but a decent port it is not. Not that that's necessarily a dealbreaker.




6GB of VRAM recommendation is for Ultra textures at 1080p... which is an additional texture pack. With High textures, it's 3GB.

60 unlocked on PS4.

Thanks.

Going to be an interesting week once the benchs from different versions start to appear.

I hope the pc veesion scales well in booth direction, as a 60 fps console game it should have room to run on modest gaming pcs.

Don't be gross. :p
Learn what you are talking about before you say stuff like this. As has already been discussed in the 6GB thread that is very possibly
with super sampling (aka 4k down sampling). It isn't plain old 1080p.

But that would be... stupid. If you use supersampling, you can hardly call it 1080p anymore.

GMG give me my key so I can preload. Can't wait to see how badly this will run on max@1440p on 5930K@4.2GHz and SLI Titans.
