Well can it run Deus Ex MD ?

[Kaapstad]

Deus Ex MD
Max settings
1080p

Spoiler

Anyone want to guess what I used for this run ?

 

[Kaapstad]

4 Maxwell Titan Xs @1430/1977

The game does support 4 way SLI on Maxwell.

Pascal is no where near fast enough.

Samsung XT900

Edit
Spoiled it Kappa

You should have seen what it did to some of my other cards.

It uses 5.2gb of memory @1080p and 10gb @2160p.

 

[Kaapstad]

Started playing this game tonight, turned it down to vhigh and still not smooth on my Titan XP..what..

Play it @2160p maxed on a Titan Pascal and you will be in single figures.

 

[Kaapstad]

not playing the game for a couple of graphic card generations...

I think the game devs have screwed up as it is not that pretty even at max settings using 2160p.

NVidia are not much better, I can use 4 way SLI on old Maxwell but only 2 way on Pascal lol.

 

[Kaapstad]

Surely the game is just poorly optimised? Looking at the gameplay, the graphics don't look all that?? Certainly not enough to bring one Titan to its knees never mind 4!

The graphics remind me of Metro LL and that did not need this sort of GPU power.

 

[Kaapstad]

Any *visible* difference between max and high, tho?

There is not much between 1080p and 2160p, they both look like they could use more MSAA.

Some 2160p maxed screenshots

Spoiler

 

[Kaapstad]

so, is this 2007 all over again with Crysis or just poor optimisation ??

speaking of which.... kaap, have you run Crysis on your Titan SLi yet? would love to see that in 4k

Done it several times, it's easy. Shame my 60htz monitor can't keep up.

Crysis one is a CPU bottleneck not a GPU one these days.

Deus Ex MD is a GPU intensive game.

You can get playable fps on a Pascal Titan @1080p by turning off MSAA. I don't think this is the game devs finest hour.

And NVidia were telling us we don't need mGPU with Pascal.

 

[Kaapstad]

this is just salty taste because i can't max it out. they clearly stated ultra was for future hardware so why are people expecting to play it on ultra at 4k with 60fps

literally crank everything up to full on 4k and even if your getting 6fps just stop and look at the amount of detail on items and in the shadows, it's all the little bits that add up


NIXXES GUIDE READ IT BEFORE MOANING AND ADJUST SETTINGS ACCORDINGLY

You realise 4 Maxwell Titans is faster than a big Volta card will be and that is a couple of years away.

When the game devs say future hardware it should read "we made a mess of this and it is unplayable".

 

[Kaapstad]

Can you make a official benchmark topic for this game?

I will have a look at doing one later.

If AMD helped develop this game they could have had Vega performance in mind.

Could this be a hint at likely Vega performance.

Titan Killer on the way !!!!

 

[Kaapstad]

It's perfectly playable for me

Locked 60fps @ 3440x1440
'Very High' and no MSAA.

It has Temporal AA to deal with the jaggies.

Be honest Kaap, are you actually going to sit down and play through the game or do you only have it for benchmarking purposes?


Edit - Yes I always use 'Exclusive fullscreen' as well.

If I like a game I will play it a lot.

I don't know yet about Deus Ex MD, the reason I got it is because one of the guys asked if I would do a bench thread for it yesterday.

Ultimately if I do play the game it will be because of gameplay and not how good or bad the graphics are.

I do think the graphics are poor even on max settings, you only have to look at the characters hair for example.

 

[Kaapstad]

are you talking with 8xaa

Any modern high end GPU should be able to max any game including MSAAX8 @1080p and get close to 60fps. This is nowhere close in Deus Ex MD.

 

[Kaapstad]

I will do the bench thread later today but here are the settings I will be using.

MSAA off
Preset Ultra






Pascal Titan stock (1860/2502)
6950X @4.0
372.54 Drivers
1080p

 

[Kaapstad]

Is there not a 16x Anisotropic Filtering.

It drops to 8x when you select the Ultra Preset.

 

[Kaapstad]

The bench thread is now open for business.

I did a few months ago and I have 20:20 vision thanks

The biggest difference for me personally was 1080P to 1440P, Going to 4K from 1440P I saw a tad less aliasing and a lot less performance, 4K is very over hyped.

I don't want to worry you but 20:20 vison is far from the best you can have.

Having said that it is still pretty good.

 

[Kaapstad]

I know, 20:10 is the best isn't it ? at least 20:20 means I can see well

20:20 is good but a lot of people make the mistake of thinking it is the best.

 

[Kaapstad]

Could do with a few more scores in the actual bench thread.

 

[Kaapstad]

It depends on the game and graphics capability.

Like Crysis / Crysis 3 etc... That was always bringing some really awesome visual improvements that really pushed the limits of gpus but had something to show for it.

I even waited to play these games until gpu hardware was good enough to do them justice and now I can play Crysis 3 at 4K over 60fps.

When a game is a resource hog for no visual benefit... It gets slated because the developers either made a mistake or are incompetent.

I still have to give it a proper play, but from what I've seen so far... The visuals don't look that much better than BF4 and yet it has 25% or less of the frame rate.

Heck... Even the many year old Metro Last Light looks better and performs better and that was considered to be badly coded before they improved it.

When more GPU grunt than even big Volta can deliver is used @1080p and it won't run at 60fps then it is a badly coded mess.
