Also, WS, with the greatest of respect for your system, that shot doesn't even look like it should take 5GB+ of VRAM. It looks drawn in paint

Been messing with settings but this game refuses to go below 3GB without looking crap.

Ubicrap strikes again!

Totally agree - NP :)

My lad is now enjoying it, so at least he's happy
 
Running terrible for me, latest drivers and older ones. Running at 1440p, getting around 35fps with crossfire R290s. Dropping lower when driving too. Anyone else with crossfire that actually works ?
 
To the lads running this on high-end rigs. Is this accurate?

Good lord, it's like a different game.

Reminds me of game advertisements on TV, where the game looks incredible but there's a little disclaimer saying 'not in game footage'.

They certainly sucked most of us in with that E3 footage..... they wont be getting my hard earned thats for sure.
 
Derp, I had installed the older drivers twice. Wasn't paying attention. I have now installed the beta drivers and i'm getting better performance but i'm still not happy at all. I'm now getting anywhere between 35 - 75 fps. Mostly in the 40's. My gpu usage is all over the shop. Not sure how to fix it.

Ran Tombraider Benchmark n getting solid 95 - 100 gpu usage n v high fps.
 
With the -disablepagefile there's no more stuttering when driving. It's made for an xbox controller, I wouldn't bother with keyboard/mouse.

GPU usage sitting at 97%

I've heard so many fixes for stuttering and none have actually worked... does this one really work and if so HOW do I do this?

This worked fine for me initially but then after about an hour of gameplay and a few cross-city car chases it started to stutter. It was weird though, the stutters were so regularly timed that this must be a bug rather than a performance or VRAM issue.

Running at 1440p with everything Ultra except Textures which are High, Temporal SMAA.

VRAM is the issue that causes stuttering surely? My VRAM usage hits 2.8GB and that took quite a while to get to. High everything and 4xTSAA + SweetFX

Just watched Total Biscuit's review. Spot on tbh
 
it does stutter for me,i spoke too soon,

tends to be really bad when the weather changes from day to night ect
 
Settings on Ultra apart from MSAAx4 instead of x8 and I get a solid 50fps @1080p

It's playable but i'm suffering from stutter....

tried it with low/med/hard settings, 13.12 and latest 14.6 drivers all suffering from the same problem.

Hopefully a patch with solve this problem

Spec
i5 4670k
16gb vengeance pro 1600mhz
Samsung Pro SSD
R9 290 Tri-X

EDIT: Referring to the stutter some have said the following works, for now: Use the borderless window option in the settings. Cant test, not at home :-/
