Tomb Raider - Rise of the Raider PC

I look forward to hearing how this is performing for Radeon users, I just worry because every Nvidia sponsored title recently is a mess for folks with an AMD system.

I report back once unlocked. I have 290's in xfire on my main PC and a single 290 in my gaming HTPC downstairs.

I hope it performs well.
 
OK makes more sense I guess if no physical copy available, I'd be annoyed if I walked into the shop and got home to then be told I had to wait for the unlock. I get that for digital downloads especially with pre-loads, but physical copies should never be tied to that kind of system in my opinion.
Any game tied to Steam (most now are) will not unlock until the same time for all versions.

I think PC-DVD games in the UK are going to be rare if any even bother with a physical release (Dark Souls 3 & Street Fighter 5 are both physical as well & tied to Steam but most games are digital only now).
 
I had no idea this was out today :o

So many games so little time! I've only just got stuck into The Witness and with the Division beta kicking off this weekend Tomb Raider may have to wait till next weekend... but.. but... it looks so good! No doubt I'll boot it up tonight and play the first chapter.
 
It sounds like performance stinks. Look at this quote from Nvidia
Performance: As detailed earlier, SSAA can have a significant performance cost, similar to the cost of increasing the rendering resolution. That turns out to be 13 FPS for 2x SSAA, and 21 FPS for 4x SSAA, which pushes our reference-speed GeForce GTX 980 Ti below 30 FPS. If you have a SLI setup though, SSAA is a viable option.

There talking about 1080p there people, sub 30 fps on a 980 ti....

I'll still enjoy it though, all be it with many settings tweaked,

2 hours to go..... sorry approx 1 hour according to Steam.

Isnt 4xSSAA rendering at 4K and down sampling to native res same as DSR/VSR? If so, sub 30fps on a 980ti is to be expected.
 
Live on Steam now but up to 1 hour of unpackaging & its also downloading several GB more data its telling me even @ 10Mb its going to be an hour :eek:

I guess its expected as 17.3Gb preload + 25Gb install = lots of extra day 1 data!
