Tomb Raider - Rise of the Raider PC

hey I get 30-35fps on a single GTX980 (non ti) at 3440x1440 on Geothermal, yet it's very smooth. So I have no complaints given the settings I'm using :p

Not really, well yes really but not really.

People who would have pirated the game would not have bought it anyway, can't pull tight arses away from their money :p It just so happens the majority of people got the game for quite a bit less less than £25 for a STEAM key. This factor attributed to the bulk of the sales and then the positive user feedback on forums and the like.

Ok what about £6.70 Windows Store loophole (now closed) ;) wonder how many of the 430,00 sales are from Ukraine region LOL
 
Well, loopholes are loopholes I guess :p Although it was patched pretty quick. I'd have avoided it on the whole, as I hate the Store. STEAM/uPlay/Origin or nothing.

This game continues to amaze.

I was on about GTA V it jumps around from 35-100fps but remains smooth. I was merely stating G-Sync keeps it smooth without any stuttering...

Are you a little upset that people with less powerful cards are getting similar results to you... :D

Nice try but no. I just find it counterproductive for those people reading this thread and trying to compare the performance they are getting with what others are getting. If people are exaggerating their performance, then its only going to serve to confuse others and make them think they have some issue with the game or something is wrong with their system. Also, people who have not bought the game yet will also be misled into expecting higher performance than they most likely will end up getting. This is not an exercise in willy waving like you suggest, just a request for some common courtesy really.

Finally, when I had the Acer xb270hu monitor, the difference between 35fps and 100 fps was a day and night difference, even with Gsync enabled. It was not some sort of subjective difference, but blindingly obvious. Yes, Gsync reduces the stuttering and eliminates tearing, but 35fps is still 35fps and will not be smooth as 100fps no matter how much you want it to be. These were your exact words:

For example running GTA V on my laptop with everything turned up and the FPS drops to the mid 30's at times but it still stays buttery smooth. The FPS goes from 35-100fps and I notice no change in smoothness....

"Buttery smooth" and "no change in smoothness". Come on, really? Or are you just taking huge liberties with your choice of language?

And so I return to my original comment:

Some crazy claims being made on this thread lol.

You are entitled to your opinion but just as others have a different experience to you does not make them wrong or making crazy claims as you say.

I played Tomb Raider form begining to end on my laptop and did not have any slowdown or stuttering in any parts. Others with more powerful systems to me have had stuttering and/or slowdown so I would presume in my case it's G-Sync that has been keeping it running smooth.
 
Yeah I was hesitant at first with getting this game due to reading a few complaints about it being very demanding and I then had some in the AMD thread who re-assured me that the game was running flawlessly on their similar/same GPU's with a few settings turned down so I thought great and went and bought it.... After all, I didn't have the same amount of issues as most people did in batman AK so what could go wrong with this?! :p

Played superbly right up to the soviet installation with only 1 or 2 crashes then boom.... performance issues galore regardless of the settings with some more crashing, continued anyway hoping to get past the performance and stability issues but nope, still happening and the crashing only got worse (made even worse by the patch)

It is on me though, I should have done more research before buying it or bought through steam and played for 2 hours to see how it was.... saying that, the game played fine for the first couple of hours, funny that... I wonder if nixxes/CE spent their whole time optimising the game in the first couple of missions/areas in order to get people past the 2 hour refund window....

Fair enough, but you clearly have a very different definition of "buttery smooth" to most people on this forum. That being said I can see where you are coming from though. I used to think Crysis ran smooth on my system at 25-35fps for many years untill I got a system capable of playing it at 60+fps.

I have had a system with a 980ti 1440p no G-Sync though.

I think G-Sync works wonders for dealing with frame drops into the 30's. Yes the difference between 35-100fps is noticeable but it stays perfectly smooth and playable as it jumps between the two. I found even with the 980ti if it dropped below 40fps it was noticeable without G-Sync....

For the people who say the game runs perfect with regards to performance, start a new game and when you get to the soviet installation (the saw mill area) and geo. levels for the first time, take screenshots with your fps and frame latency showing please :)



Yup, it is a shame as I loved the last game and was thoroughly looking forward to playing this but with the fluctuating fps regardless of settings, it is not enjoyable at all, maybe with free/g sync, it would be acceptable but regardless, it is crashing every 5-10 minutes that has killed the game for me. If other people weren't having the same issue as per the threads above, I would have done a fresh install of windows and possibly even changed my hardware but as it is, it doesn't look like there is an issue on my end and something with the game coding or whatever just isn't playing nice with my PC.

Haha, no thanks.... I wouldn't want to watch some noob playing :p :D

At least with the game being broken, it is giving me time to get through assassin's creed syndicate though, no crashes and performance is great with 1-2 settings turned down a notch.

Lots of us on 970s had the game pumped up to very high until we hit that area and then lowered the textures to high and it was pretty much 60fps solid after that.
 
Hey guys, just finished the game 85% complete might go back in a few weeks to mop up the remaining items. I appear to have fairly low leader board scores compared to some of my other friends playing the game, even though I have completed more areas of the map. Any ideas how these scores are calculated?

Game is doing very well on PC. Well deserved.

See this is what happens when you release a quality game on PC and make note to not break the damn game.

Someone didn't play it on release day

GUESS WHO:)

Seriously though it was troublesome for the first long weekend (Friday to Tuesday) with crashes and stuttering, Since AMD released the driver hot fix and Crystal released the games patch it has been almost faultless for me. For the last 15 to 20 hours it's crashed once or twice and hasn't stuttered at all. I've spent just over 30 hours in game so far.

Anybody been stuck in the Ancient Cistern?

I need to throw a can onto the raft but it's upside down and I can't jump on it. I've tried to restart from checkpoint and gone away to do other stuff but it's still the same. Bloody annoying!
Click to expand...

How did you get it upside down? Try swimming under it and surfacing to push it over maybe?

If you can't do that go back to a save from before such as when you first got there, providing you've done regular manual saves you should be okay to?
 
It worked ok, as long as your wernt trying to play on Fiji, crossfire or very high settings.

Im guessing it was tested at high preset on a single 290 or summat and they figured it works fine so it will probably work on everything else. :)

Got a screenshot showing the soviet installation sawmill area with FPS overlay?

I found there to be little difference in FPS between high and very high textures, only difference was VRAM and memory usage jumped up considerably and there was stutter then.

I bought on release put 20 hours in and not a single crash or stuttering I did however run textures on high almost from the start after reading the devs post on steam.
