I'd be worried if a $1000 video card couldn't demolish it.

Alice hair isn't PhysX. Spicy Horse coded their own hair simulation. It works equally well on all platforms and graphics card vendors.
Is it grossly low-res to the point of giving the impression that Lara is sporting dreadlocks?
Edit: The hair shadow maps, I mean.
That's almost like a PS4 worth of power
But seriously, damn, those things are sexy. Too bad about the seemingly underwhelming hair tech =/
Yeah, that's the thing about Alice. It looks fantastic *BUT* runs with very little performance hit even on consoles.

Did you been DoF?
Benchmarked at 64 average
That was on ultimate. Same settings with highest DoF was 43 so, big difference!
At least people have the option to use the new hair rendering technology, for those who have very high-end graphic capabilities. It's good to see a game at least try something new for those with powerful rigs.
Shame about the clipping around the shoulders. Maybe that can get patched.

Ok, thanks. Will be interesting to see if I can keep 60 with double OC'd 670s at 1440p, probably not.
Good lord.
Well, my TressFX hair certainly doesn't look natural
You cards are to fast for game engine to calculate hair correctly.

Interesting.

looks terrible

Kill it with fire!
Back to the drawing board with that tech, no wonder there was no video released.
Hopefully this is just an early version and by the time next gen kicks in it will get better.

I did, thank you. That's good to know since I will be turning it off.

That is a great gif- she's all like "UGH, MY HAIR IS DOING UNNATURAL THINGS. AGAIN."

Meh. It's not even that impressive. Pass!

Maybe a day one patch is coming?
I thought triple buffering meant you could have FPS fluctuate between 30 and 60 and not be forced to have 30 or 60?

Game is crashing every 2-3 minute now
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Really seems like a last minute addition. If it were part of much bigger physic changes I could understand... but it's just hair!

You've an NVIDIA card right? Suck it up, this is one of the few times AMD card owners get to gloat about superior performance.
Very few games aren't triple buffered nowadays. I can't even recall the last game I needed to use D3DOverrider to triple buffer.
Those 20fps will not translate 1:1 to every setup of course.

Insane For Sony
Hair thing does look better than any hair made so far, but not enough to justify massive performance hit. It also still looks glitchy it seems, just less than is usually the case for this kind of thing. Shadows from hair look particularly bad, but I'd imagine in lower resolutions it would be less noticeable.
Dxtory to record, photoshop to import / edit / save it.

Don't AMD video cards have the lead from a price/performance standpoint? A 7950 with Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 is currently available for $270 after rebate. The cheapest GTX 670 I could find right now is around $350.
Wondering about that too!
Again, this isn't true. Not even slightly.

They do have that lead by a considerable margin.

How do you lock this game (or any for that matter) to a specific FPS? (AMD card)

shouldn't titan do better with tressFX? (better compute performance yada yada)

This game becomes extremely volatile after you find the two-way radio. I've had two crashes in about 10 minutes.

Yeah, built-in triple buffering is very much the exception and not the rule.
Well, what can I say? I've maybe encountered 1 or 2 games in the past several years that hasn't nativelly had triple buffering. Unless games can have framerates that fluctuate freely between 30-60fps and not be triple buffered.
Of course, I'm not counting games that don't allow for 60fps (Dark Souls, Dead Space).
If Triple Buffering is the exception, not the rule, can you name a few recent games that don't have triple buffering?

That torso ain't breathing correctly.
