Tomb Raider - Rise of the Raider PC

I completed Tomb Raider yesterday and downloaded Rise of the Tomb Raider today. Played a couple of hours so far, I have to say , Rise is probably the best looking game I have ever seen on my PC. Some of the visuals are simply stunning, I suspect it will be plastered all over the high res screenshot thread for quite some time to come.
 
Yeah its real fun, half the time i couldnt tell if i was in a cutscene or actually controlling the character as it blends to seamlessly between the two. I would find my self pressing movement keys during cutscenes just incase it switched back the me. :)
 
I've just been testing this game with my R9 390X and I noticed something very unusual. Reducing Anisotropic filtering from 16x to 2x gave me 10-15 FPS extra in both the snow level and Syria, this is by far the biggest impact of any setting. Can anyone else confirm?

Really? I have to try it myself, all I've noticed is that lowering setting from very high to high gives me maybe 3-7fps difference at 1440p on a GTX970:eek:

Doesn't seem to make much of a difference according to the geforce guide. It might be an AMD driver bug, try it out though and see if it works for you.
 
Normally 3rd person I use a pad, but I do find my self reaching for the mouse when I'm shooting. It's just better, obviously. Might try M+K next time I load up.

I sat looking at the screen waiting for something to happen after a cutscene. Was ready to bring up the taskmanager and close it down! Such a stunning game.
