[QUOTE="Riadon2"]

I get 40+ FPS at 1440p max settings with 670 4 GB SLI and a 3570k @ 4.6. I just turned the render distance down, as it is unneccesarily high.

That isn't bad considering that it is a very good looking game with enormous scale and a giant player count.

No, the game runs like sh!t and SOE know that too. The game has some fantastic ligthing effects but it's textures are horrendous.

But they know it runs bad and are releasing an optimisation patch in January that they said would help performance a lot

Ultra textures don't look THAT bad. The game also has FXAA forced on by default, which blurs the textures and misportrays them. I use SweetFX sharpening to balance out the FXAA blur (I know they said not to use it, but I don't care if I am banned).

They don't use FXAA, they probably use a custom edge detect AA.

Nvidea and Intel usually perform a lot better in this game. Comparable AMD/ATI hardware would probably perform quite a bit worse. And then there are the weird occasions where the hardware is almost the same, but gives radically different performance.

I don't know if you can blame Planetside 2 for that, it might just be AMD's drivers. Plus, the fastest AMD CPU is nowhere near the speed of the fastest intel CPU in any game, so that isn't really bad optimization.

Yes I can. They didn't optimize the game for AMD, doesn't even look like they tried. AMD works fine for other games that, in my opinion, look better. And AMD CPUs should be fast enough, if it would use enough cores, which I think it doesn't.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="GoldenElementXL"] No offense but if you are running below recommended specs it will run like crap. The game is pretty demanding.Riadon2

no offense but the game runs like crap. don't assume someone is running a sh!tty PC because an awfully optimized game is, you know, awfully optimized.

[QUOTE="Loegi"][QUOTE="GD1551"]

lmao if you mean combat then yeah, dark souls tutorial is relevant they teach you how to use magic, attack and roll! If you mean things like parry, stages of equip load, stat allocation, stat caps, Weapon stat gains, weapon move lists, shield block values, enemy elemental weaknesses, covenants and all that other stuff.. then rofl.

LegatoSkyheart

More than half of that isn't required to beat the game.

and they teach you how to parry.

Then it's just one left that's required in my opinion, and that's the stages of equip load.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]Dark Souls does have a tutorial. The entire first section of the game there are messages telling you how to play the game. PS2 barely explains anything to you.GD1551

That video is crap. Half of it is him looking at the sunset with his girlfriend or whoever that is. And I think it's explaining outdated things. And for a lot of people it won't look gorgeous. It's pretty badly optimized, and it only looks nice on select computers.

There's a huge "GETTING STARTED" button. People really can't be bothered to read the guides they provide, and then complain that they don't get it? And I thought the first area of Dark Souls was tutorial enough. It explains pretty much every move you can do. Should've spend a bit more on menu explanation though, that's usually explained when it's too late.

There are seriously people who want to be blinded by bloom and lensflares, and have less FPS, and play at a lower resolution? It's usually just FPS vs. graphic quality and resolution, and then I can see why it's divided. But aside from AA etc. effects are usually pretty ugly. And even AA etc. isn't that important in my opinion.

Awful. Worst of the AC games I think. It was a steady decline with every sequel though, so it wasn't unexpected.

FSAA better performance. MSAA better quality

KHAndAnime
I think it's the other way around actually, doesn't FSAA refer to super sampling?

According to wikipedia it does. First time I heard of it though, SSAA is more common. FXAA would fit that description I think though.
