Maybe wounder what happens if you enable this for the test in amd drivers.

The nature of the slow downs appears to strongly suggest that shaders aren't being cached effectively (if at all) on the AMD side - I would have said the other alternative is down to memory management but the Fury X should have suffered far more at 4K if that was the issue.
 
Yeah it is pretty much in the vein of Dear Esther and Ethan Carter. I think some of the people working on it are the same as Dear Esther?
 
I actually like those type of 'Games'. Extremely atmospheric and usually beautiful looking. The graphics in EGTTR look so convincingly English Village that I may just give it a whirl. I just wish the people who make these games could put those kinds of stories behind a really good first/Third person adventure/shooter. T'would be fab.

It kinda reminded me of the Tom Baker Doctor Who Story "The Android Invasion" with the sparsely populated little village and village pub. Actually I think that EGTTR would be brilliant as a VR experience.

:)
 
Graphics looks coll and it sound very atmospheric, just a shame there is no actual gameplay built in. I would be very happy even if it was just a point&click style adventure where you actually had to achieve some things rather than just walk through listening to a story.
 
EGTTR is mind-numbingly dull. I don't mind walking simulators if they have a decent story or an intriguing mystery, but it has neither. There's zero payoff to anything that happens in it.

Anything but point and click.
 
Rather than spam the other thread with off topic stuff - just playing about with the opening scene of rapture with a 980ti, 970 and 780 and surprised the 980ti doesn't really pull ahead of the other 2 as much as I thought - the opening bit looking into the sun at 2560x1440 with all settings maxed the 780 was at ~30fps, 970 at ~32fps and 980ti at ~38-39fps (about 30% faster).

In less demanding bits the other cards actually close the gap quite a bit especially the 780 that pulls ahead of the 970 in medium complexity scenes though I might be CPU limited on the 980ti as while its showing 89-98% GPU utilisation in demanding scenes it can drop off a bit in other bits while I didn't see it drop off much on the 780.

EDIT: Just out the box clocks on the cards as I didn't want to OC a card that wasn't mine heh.

VRAM use is a bit lol - the 780 sits at about 2.6GB (so not hitting the limit) while the 980ti is around 5GB :S

I hope they're not going to start act like numpties in future video's like they did in this one.

As for the game, Although it's a liberty releasing a game in that state it made me smile to think how the boots finally on the other foot.

ie a rubbish port.

Maybe we can send them a 5fps Star Citizen port next :)
