It should be with those movie style textures that I heard mentioned a few times.....

Tag team again!

Seriously though, that wasn't what was being said. I was saying that with Bioshock Infinite using studio quality (not movie style) textures, RAM is going to get hammered without people being able to use the GPU grunt/RAM usage relationship examples.

I think the OP's tests do imply that as well, as he has strong max and average FPS, but both minimums are quite low.

Without wanting to start a major flame war. Who's the fastest in this title so far? I see Nvidia have their drivers out for this game already. How does AMD compare? Has the game officially been released yet or is everyone using a VPN to unlock it early?

Someone must be able to give the VRAM usages...

That's a question to ask when its released officially mate. Not enough people have bothered to unlock it via vpn with a nice selection of gcards to test it on yet.

With everything on max I used 2034 vram at 1440p.

DOh!!! I need to check my eyes

If this is a game that requires 2 7970s to get the best out of it at 1600p I might just get it as a flagship for my new upgrade.

That's what having surround porn does to them mate

Furry muff James, thanks for clearing that up.

I wouldn't be surprised though if NVidias new driver boosts the performance up to the already optimised level that the 7970 can run it at though, if not slightly worse.

Either way though, it looks like the performance is more than good enough regardless of who is in the lead.

I hope it does. I want AMD to keep on their toes. They've been outstanding recently but they should not rest on their laurels just because at the moment they're in front. (excluding Titan before someone calls me out on it

)

I really want to buy it myself, not to play just to bench. God what have i become.

LtMatt · 25 Mar 2013 at 19:42

Does this game have an in game benchmark?

Yup my thoughts entirely. Doesn't matter whos faster as long as your own experience is smooth and to your standards and expectations.

Slippery slope to quiting gaming for good there mate!

How's it compare to Crysis 3 and can we run SMAA as opposed to MSAA?

From the OP
"The game comes with a built in benchmark tool that is rather good, it exports all the stats so they can be read in Excel and is quite detailed."

All those dodgy sites are making people in this thread go blind

Thanks Wh00ps. Downloading now.

I am all preloaded and ready to go - hoping for a really smooth experience on this one or is that just premature speculation on my part?

Yer yer, point taken and I will stay off them... Three screens playing National Goegraphic is just to good to say no to

I think comparing it to Crysis 3 would be quite unfair as Bioshock Infinite's art direction isn't in the realm of realistic, it's quite cartoony compared to Crysis 3.
