Alan Wake - GPU Performance

[p_monks33]

Not to revive a dead thread, I have been playing this game a bit on my GTX 680. Its a VRAM eating SOB. 1804mb of VRam being eaten up, my FPS drops down into the teens at times, I think that the more Vram you have the better this game runs. I know that running it at 5760x1080 contributes to that as well, but dang this game looks great.

If a game runs like dog crap on nVidia hardware upon release its because its an AMD evolved title, you should all be used to this by now.

Reckon, everything else has the Nvidia code path?

I'm pretty impressed with the graphics as well. It doesn't look like a console port to me.

iirc the ad copy said "compatible with AMD's eyefinity". That's one of the reasons I got it, and I was pretty disappointed that eyefinity wasn't possible on my 5970. I mean - if you can't run eyefinity on a console port with a 5970 then what setup can you run it on?

But the quality of the game has made up for it, and I've enjoyed it on a single screen.

edit - I missed the post at the top of this page. Must be nice to run it at that res on a single card. It was an absolute slide show when I tried it, maybe 1-2 fps.

The latest patch enabled a "very low" graphical setting

I wonder how this game could have benefitted by being made for DX10 and above

I completed the game at
25x14 Max with 2x MSAA

With my gpu at 1175 1625 I avg in 70s and 80s, highs in 90s and 100+, occasional 60s and rarely 50s, almost never below 50s, way too rare and momentary

With my gpu at 1075 1375, I avg in 60s with occasional 50s rare 40s and commonly 70+

With my gpu at stock
Avg is like 55-60 or so, and drops to 40s at times

The difference between stock and first oc is like 30-40%+ in performance.

This is with my CPU at 4.3

Hmm, I run this game with everything at the very maximum at 2560x1600, including AF/AA and never leave 60 fps....

Your config? Oc? Avg fps?

With SLI enabled I still drop into the 20-30 fps range at times at 5760x1080 , Thats rediculous for 2x 680's to be taking a beating like that.
