**Official THIEF-Incorporating AMD™ Mantle™/True Audio™/Bench mark Thread**

For those of you that have played it, what is the audio like? Is it the type of in game sound that has been done well? And do you think it will be much better with better positional audio?

The audio is poor to be honest. It has it's good bits but overall I would rate it poor. For example at the start of the game you are in a guys room, he is drunk and asleep and there is noise coming from an open window. The noise sounds like there is a bustling market and a party going on outside. When you get out the windows and climb onto the conveniently placed beam/walkway and look down, there are a handful of people standing about.

My first thought was where is the market and the party.(


Remind me not to come to one of your parties if the ambiance outside constitutes a party.;):p

@bru, come back and ask when TA is patched in.:)

AMD 290@1200/1600, [email protected] fps


Added, top spot.:)
 
I'll update the scores later.:)

UE3 modified but still not demanding.

+1,

Iv'e said that from the start when Mantle was announced for Thief, I doubt it's bringing anything to the table for me, maybe it's a game changer on low level gpu's, but even mid range gpus will smash Thief@1080p.

3D is completely broken in this at present. It does look like it would suit 3D as well, so if they fix it soon, I may well give it a play.

It's looking like an engine fault as it's not working on any 14.* AMD driver.
 
Scores updated, some aren't included as not enough info, if anyone wants them included, quote them with clocks please.

Matt, seriously, you need a new psu bud:

;):p:D
 
Just an update after checking if 3D works on AMD after the update, no it doesn't, the 3D option is now greyed out.:o

On the other hand it's looking really good on 3D through Tridef with high fps, a much needed improvement on the visual aspect using 3D.

Looks like Mantle will be a no go for me as Tridef will no doubt be better than the in game 3D anyway, so looks like I'm just waiting on TA then I can start playing.:D

It is a good looking game but still a disappointment for "next gen". We really need some Unreal Engine 4 games to start coming out. What is the first game to use UE4?

Daylight, it will be released on April 8th:

Them 290s been mining for months ... finally decided to put them to gaming use as the 280s are more cost effective :) Thief still feels a touch choppy with this rig on max settings @ 1600p so looking forward to what mantle brings ...

Hopefully Nixxes/AMD have got CrossFire sorted for Mantle/DX and you and the bhoys should be sorted.

Been a long wait for True Audio, can't wait to get into Thief, who knows maybe AMD can make a deadline after all.:p:D
 
Enjoying my lurking in the shadows so far and TA has brought extra immersion into the title too.

Yeah give use feedback mate, try 2.0 with nothing added from your Headset software. and TA enabled and then again with 7.1 enabled.


You need to switch any virtualisation off and just run stereo if your headset isn't proper 5.1.

MPC: So a person could keep their existing discrete X-Fi/Xonar/Recon for the superior DACs/ADC, and switch off their effects to use TrueAudio but then switch them back for games that use OpenAL or don’t support TrueAudio?

AMD: That’s 100 percent correct. We designed AMD TrueAudio in the manner that we did precisely because we know users have great audio hardware with high-quality OPAMPS that they don’t want or need to forfeit. Whatever audio device(s) a user has right now, that hardware is ready to go with AMD TrueAudio.

@Calin, played a few hours last night on Mantle(as in game 3D doesn't work on 290, I was using Tridef-you don’t use any AA so you play on lesser IQ) I was pleasantly surprised at how decent the actual game looks with max IQ.
