Man of Honour
Given the performance dips people were mentioning on some sites I was expecting a meh affair on a GTX980... Well I can happily say this is by far the best looking game with complete 21:9 support out of the box I have played probably in the last 24 months this side of Dying Light. Hell I'd go as far as to say this trumps Dying Light in the visuals department as well.
I'm playing at 3440x1440 with Very high settings although I have AF set to 2x and Motion Blur off and FXAA enabled. It looked and runs so good even though a few times the framerate dips to the low 30s it never feels choppy or slow at all. Nominal framerate for me has so far been 45-50fps. It's one of those games that doesn't feel like <60fps when it's running 30-50fps with Vsync on. I am on a 3770K @ 4.5GHz and 16GB 32100MHz RAM with Windows 10.
Oh I also have Pure Hair and Shadows set to very high, which is one level above what the standard Very High profile normally sets.
The keyboard controls work at default flawlessly as well. I am very very impressed.
If this is how the game looks and runs in DX11, I cannot wait to see what they do with a DX12 patch, or the next Tomb Raider game running on DX12 from the ground up.
This just goes to prove that reading performance reviews early on for games optimised as well as this should not be done, as those low framerate numbers turn people off it instantly, but when you actually play, it doesn't feel like that at all. take away the framerate counter and you'd be none the wiser.
