Far Cry 3 test: GPU and CPU benchmarks with DX11

[Phixsator]

I'm almost 100% sure that's not console. No existing console can do that. I think they're using the PC version but with an Xbox controller.

If that's the case I find it extremely stupid unless they don't want to show off high speed movement for whatever reason..Why anyone would use a darn controller on a PC for a shooter is beyond me

I'd be willing to put money on that it's abysmally 'optimised' for the PC. From that videos it looks pretty much identical to the console version and apparently it runs like a dog.

Not impressed.

it runs decently on Ultra-everything on a modest 3GHz dual core machine with a Radeon HD 5800

I cannot wait to se all the glory they put into to proper DX11 on the PC.. Im very thrilled

PC running ultra-***Spoiler Alert***: it's part of the intro/first level at night and the videos are running in German:



Another one during the day:

I haven't watched much of any of them, just small snippets, but it's looking good imo, but, you'd never know the new consoles are coming, would you?

Yeah and they are most likely going to be very very powerful and then not long after they are going to be stumped to the ground by pc again.. Not that it matters much. Well im looking forward to the Console upgrade as a PC user, not because I play on consoles but because it means higher fidelity(?) since almost all games today are console ports.

I'm personally not at all impressed with the graphics and i've watched both videos. They look average going by today's standards and the characters seem to have a black sort of glow around them, what the hell is that all about?

That black glow is SSAO if im not mistaken.. Its over the top in every game ive seen it used.. same with AO in Battlefield 3..Really do not like how it looks. The basic idea of it is great.

Take a look at the review posted by the op ->Original not translated<-. Scroll down to the Ambient Occlusion comparison. I personally prefer the HDAO version. I couldn't use the different options in the comparison if it were shown through google translate
