Game Extras

Kaapstad · 11 Nov 2014 at 15:22

Reserved too but I am not sure why either.

Kaapstad · 11 Nov 2014 at 16:18

All setup, now all we need is a game.

Kaapstad · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:39

If anyone wants to post their videos of this game I can put them in the Games Extra section.

If you do, don't forget to post what setting were used.

Good idea.

Any settings can be used with the videos as people won't be benching against each other, it will just add a bit of interest to the thread.

Kaapstad · 21 Nov 2014 at 16:44

The thread is now open for results.

Please ensure you use the settings in the OP.

Kaap I just noticed your AMD results are using 14.11.1 drivers can you run again with latest 14.11.2 this driver is for Dragon Age, plus Far Cry 4.

I will when I get the time but at the moment I have waterblocks backplates and GPUs all over the place.

Scoreboard updated.

Is it true this game is running better on dx11 than mantle at the moment? reading through the game thread it would appear people are having issues using mantle but switching to dx11 fixes them.

I have only used the bench but visually the best run at any resolution was the Mantle one on a single card @4K maxed.

If the game runs anything like the bench it must look pretty bad in DX11.

Kaapstad · 22 Nov 2014 at 11:32

Mantle won't even run in quadfire and all I get is a text box saying memory problems.

A bit of a thread resurrection I know but I only just got the game so thought I'd try out a few different options.

My system is: -

4790k @ 4.6
AMD 295x2 @ 1050/1600
Omega Drivers

** Any image wider than 1280 pixels should be linked or placed in spoiler tags **
1080p DX11

1080p Mantle

1440p (VSR) DX11

1440p (VSR) Mantle

So overall a definite win for Mantle but I have noticed that the loading times in general are waaay longer when using Mantle, so much so that the first time I tried the benchmark I actually alt-F4'd it because I thought it had crashed! Anyone else getting that?

In general it's a pretty good looking game but not as good as I was expecting for such a heavy strain on the gpus.

Scoreboard updated.

I can not use VSR or DSR for the scoreboards unfortunately though.

Mantle shows a very good improvement though.
