NVidia show off GameWorks effects in Batman Arkham Knight - Impressive

[Gregster]

Man I am stoked to see these effects in Arkham Knight and seriously looking forward to it.

Effects include:

• Interactive smoke and fog
• Interactive paper debris
• Enhanced rain

Bring on the 23rd of June I say

Better get cracking on The Witcher

T'is a good point. I have been stuck at work, so not much gaming but 14 days off now should hopefully see me get well into that.

 

[Gregster]

I'm guessing they'll be starting the 'Gotham' series after they've had a good break after the Arkham work

I really did try to like that show but it just didn't happen for me. I gave up after episode 7 or 8.

I am sure AMD will be on this game as well as it is a big, big release and they won't want to let their customers down, so should be good for all.

 

[Gregster]

Guys, this isn't about a lovely 4K 40" screen, so **** off to the monitor section to discuss that you nasty people

 

[Gregster]

Ahhh, got ya. Thought you meant the series and I love Batman because.....

LMAO

you think this is good try to play in 3D i personally cant wait to play in 3D after i purchase my 980ti

So much this!

Loved all the Batman games in 3D

 

[Gregster]

I'm a mahoosive fan of the Arkham series and this trailer just made me make a little sex wee

LOL

I was gutted when this got put back from November but when you see someone adding time to a game, I don't mind. I have the game and DLC all pre-ordered

If it supports it this time round! Been a bit stale performance wise and support wise sadly

Yep. I still can't play Trine 3 in 3D and get a monitor connection error. I might even re-install the game and try again though, as others have it running.

 

[Gregster]

Will be interesting to see how this performs with dedicated physX cards (vs without). I have a 780 doing this. Maybe a bit overkill but I tested this in the only benchmark I can see utilises PhysX well (PLAGame bench) and the performance improvement when using a dedicated card vs not was quite staggering. This latter point/bench might actually deserve its own thread at some stage.

A good point. The last few games have had the PhysX effects running on the CPU and in fairness, run very well.

 

[Gregster]

Shocker! lol

 

[Gregster]

Yay, nice to have the effects listed that I'll need to turn off for a playable framerate.

Thanks nvidia.

If AMD and NVidia are on the ball and you have a card capable, you shouldn't need to turn effects to get playable framerates.

 

[Gregster]

In fairness, I have played a good 30-40 hours on The Witcher 3 and the patches have given me better performance (not that it was bad in the first place) but I am talking from a personal point and I am sure there is people with problems. This is a game that I have not had a single crash in.

 

[Gregster]

Here is my game time...


Until the last two patches ( DLC and 1.05 ), I never had issues. Now I can't even start and finish a short secondary quest without the game crashing.

Performance is constantly getting better, but it's not helping if people can't play.

Yeah its shocking but IIRC wasnt the witcher 3 £49.99 on steam at launch as well?

Back on topic I though cannot wait for this!

Ive had several freezes where the audio keeps going and crashes to desktop in TW3. Hasnt spoiled enjoyment of an amazing game though

Ahhh, I was unaware of people having issues since the last patch and that isn't good at all. I haven't played it since Wednesday/Thursday, so might have a butchers later and see if I am getting the same.

Cdkeys with a facebook discount £25 without

I have 2 copies ordered from them and one with all the DLC. I will give out the other code when I do a review for it

 

[Gregster]

Awesomes

 

[Gregster]

It don't look normal at all, also way over done. I guess this is all GPU PhysX? or they using Compute OpenGL?

Yep, GPU smoke and fog PhysX, so good job you don't like it

I think it looks sweet and will be running with it on.

 

[Gregster]

You would like it though

You honestly not think its way over done?

I honestly think it looks fantastic but I respect we are not all the same and each to their own.

 

[Gregster]

Have to agree with others. The smoke doesn't just look garbage but worse still looks like a copy and paste from other Gameworks titles. This is a problem Nvidia will have to address via more customization.

Copy and paste? Copied and pasted from what?

My concern is, if theres no single card out there today that can run Witcher 3 with Hairworks, and practically requires SLI with a top end card, what will this game run like with its numerous additional game work features?

I have been playing TW3 for around 80 hours now on full settings (including HairWorks) and all post processing on a single Titan X @ 1400P, so this is wrong in a big way.

 

[Gregster]

Honestly, look at some you tube vids of cars doing doughnuts, its not that far off tbh

I just did that and this smoke effect looks very comparative to what happens when you do a burnout.

But.........

[Gregster]

Nothing is wrong until you give us your average frame rate, because I have seen Titan X benchmarks with the Witcher 3 and they are not good. Unless you prefer to play at sub 60 a lot of the time.

First part is with HairWorks off and then HairWorks on and that was an earlier patch.
