Was this game designed with a hamster wheel, I don't get gains/losses in FPS at all anymore. Crossfire with 295x2 only giving a gain of 10 fps over just 1 card. Amazing >:C Another bad port D:

Make a CCC profile targeting ShadowOfMordor.exe, then disable frame pacing and use AFR Friendly.

Now you only have to worry about the menu flickering :p
 
Here is my 980 results. Crap in comparison to my 290 almost 20fps less on average not bad for an Nvidia sponsored game... Must be the 256bit bus holding it back.. :) Oh and thats with the 980 at almost 1500Mhz on the core as well....

:confused:


Bit of an uneducated guess there?

Edit: your results are quite a bit worse than mine on the 980. 24 FPS difference Lol. Going bed will post tomorrow

Edit: 2# scrap latter, missed something

found performance a bit odd on this. amazingly smooth for a few hours then its started getting a bit stuttery in places. could just be the map I guess. played it for about 5 hours.

do you need to do anything to enable SLI? using 2 780ti's?

great game btw!

edit: just found the FEAR3 thing, will give it a go

Made another video which is more representative of real game performance. You'll see the video settings I use, vram usage and fps. Needless to say their is no way you'll need 6gig vram to play this game at 1080p, devs just sprouting bs to sell more console copies imo.
 
I can't do ultra at 1080p on my 780 ti cards due to the vram. I can stick everything else on it's highest setting but ultra textures. Obviously this is with the hd pack installed. The frame rate is fine but it stutters like mental due to the vram being breached. Runs smooth as silk on just 1 of my 780 ti superclocks though apart from the texture setting without even using sli. Overall, pleased as it still looks awesome and works flawlessly, unlike the POS watchdogs game which people seem to be comparing this to.

I think ultra @ 1440p is what is causing my 980 to drop frames. Just seems weird it's ok on the 290 ?

Nvidia doesn't have a driver out for it yet, which I find more strange personally. The current WHQL is for alien isolation (7th october) and the evil within (14th october), yet this game was ignored. Very odd tbh! I've had absolutely zero issues with 10 hours playtime now using a single 780 ti with everyone on ultra apart from textures, which are at high instead. Not one single frame dip below my gsync threshold or anything. This is at 1080p naturally. At 1440p, I doubt even 4gb VRAM is enough for ultra tbh as it does appear to have a brutal requirement.

As to why AMD users are reporting it to be okay on 290 series cards, no idea. If they haven't forced tessellation off in the driver, it might be just how their cards deal with the game engine or something.

I'd rather the devs say you need a high amount of VRAM if the game can actually hit that sort of range, instead of ubisoft lying about specs and releasing pieces of utter turd that run like **** even on £2k worth of GPUs. Watchdogs is a glorious example of that, where SLI doesn't work properly (enormous stuttering) and the VRAM requirements are miles out compared to what the menu says.
 
I ran the game with ultra hd pack installed and it was terrible was jumping/freezing all over the place with my 295x2. Soon as I turned it down to high I was getting 40-60fps according to fraps in 4k .
 
Tri SLI using FEAR3 SLI bits with both high and Ultra textures (with HD pack). Scaling not so great

Pretty obvious what is happening here lol. Although the average is much higher with Ultra

NOTE You have to restart the game after applying the texture pack or else it doesn't load into memory

The game is pretty optimized in my opinion. Runs really well.
Managing to get a constant 60 fps 99% of the time on crossfire 290 @ 3440x1440. Definitely a big improvement over how watchdogs ran for me.
 
Really want to get stuck into this but work beckons :(

Single card run from me. Needs some work for sure for an NV endorsed title! Doesn't bother me though as SLI seems to work well enough.
