**Middle Earth :Shadow of Mordor Bench Thread**

I figured that having that logo on the game meant that they worked with the developers to make sure it ran well on their hardware etc upon release (gross simplification, but y'know).

What went on here?

What like Watch Dogs? There's only so much you can do with the developers unless you implement a new API like Mantle and spend millions.

As was said earlier the benchmark isn't that indicative of overall game performance either.
 
Well, Watch Dogs is Watch Dogs :D
Let's not get into defensive mode too quick eh? :) This isn't an AMD fanboy having a dig :) Just asking what I think are valid questions.

The benchmark isn't the most indicative, no. But it's not far off from what I've been seeing in game though.
Anyway, I run all max with textures on high and scaling at 200%. Looks way better than 100% with ultra textures to me.
 
Yeah Nvidia should have drivers ready for this being an endorsed title. It's being on the ball in that way that sets them apart from the competition.

Normally...

Recent titles under this and the GameWorks program have had untold problems
 
I wasn't on the defensive, just giving my guess as to why nvidia haven't optimised for it yet. They probably don't want to rush a new driver out for only 1 game and to be honest it seems playable on all those scores anyway and a few are using GSYNC so it will appear even more smooth.

but as Pete pointed out, its an Nvidia Title they work close with the devs to bring out the best for the nvidia hardware.
AMD also doesn't have a driver released for this game, nothing in 14.9 states changes to this game.

And Gsync will only benefit them who use Vsync. but lets not get into that.

Gsync benefits this game massively, seen as the framerate fluctuates wildly. Why try and state things as fact when you have absolutely no grasp of the basics?
 
AMD drivers aren't much cop either for this one. Even when you do the manual 'fixes', you still have to put up with the occasional bit of flickering in game, never mind the screwed up menus.

Hopefully, they'll both sort their **** out...

Fwiw, I've not seen any wild fps fluctuations here.

No correct. I dont get stutter and my gameplay is very smooth. :p The only difference I would see over no sync and Gsync is no screen tear. Nothing else.

Incorrect again, you only think that because you haven't experienced GSYNC. There were many others who weren't believers until they tried it.

I like how you have a go at it then try to tell people to stop talking about it straight away because you know you're wrong.

Not sure. They've dropped the ball with the lack of named driver support and the geforce experience program doesn't list the game either. As of writing, there is also no official SLI profile for this either.

Due to that, the logo at the start will no doubt be reference to batch .dll files being given to the studio to do certain types of graphical effects. In this case, its probably Nvidia specific ambient occlusion and possibly tessellation, but its just impossible to tell though without someone ripping those files apart to see whats what.

Like I said i'll say no more on Gsync because this going OT

So you just admitted it would benefit you also then by removing tearing... right

Now your just trying to twist things. He said Gsync will make game more smoother, because Gsync removes the stutter you get with vsync. This stutter isn't a problem when you use no sync.

Stutter still exists with vsync though mate, it's just harder to see. Pop over to the gsync thread and I'll dig out a video for you to have a look at which explains it in better detail, with examples.

Edit: sorted the video for you in the gsync owners thread if you fancy a look. The test uses batman as an example and shows both vsync on and off vs gsync on.

There's many users in the gsync thread who never used vsync and had 120hz monitors already and they still noticed the benefits when moving to gsync. If gsync only benefited vsync users hardly anyone would buy it lol. Tearing is always there whether you perceive it or not is up to you, but I bet it's noticeable straight away between say a ROG Swift and a standard 144hz monitor just how more stable the image is on gsync. In fact I know it is as I've seen it first hand.

I know vsync has stutter and increase input lag it's this reason I run with no sync for years.
