Metro Last Light early benchmarks on gtx 670

[Grooveriding]

I don't get it. SSAA is the most demanding option out there. What are people expecting? Doing 4x the processing of pixel should be result in a low performance impact?

I would make more sense if people start to educate themself what each option does.

SSAA runs fine in Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution and other DX11 games that natively support it with a good hardware set. It's one thing for it to be demanding, another to be unplayable on SLI Titans. So you need to spend $3000 or $4000 to run it ?


lol

SSAA is still a huge hit on performance. The game has to run really easy for SSAA to be usable. Notice that compared to FXAA it is a huge performance hit, but if you compared to no AA, it is even bigger.

Tomb Raider example:

No, SSAA in those games also comes with a hefty performance hit. Hitman Absolution supports MSAA, not SSAA.
I don't know what the problem is. SSAA halves the fps in every game. If the general graphics load is too high, you have to cut back somewhere. Now people complain that games are too demanding? They should be glad that we finally get some games that push the best hardware to its limit. Just like Crysis 1 did.

"Runs fine"? Titan with 1134MHz gets 49FPS in Tomb Raider with 4xSSAA in the integrated benchmark. That is half of what i get without. A 7970 with 1100MHz stays around 33 FPS.

And the only reason you can play Sleeping Dogs with 4xSSAA is because the game is not demanding. I run into a CPU limited with Titan and have more than 100 fps.

Reread my post and look at some dual gpu benches.

My core i3 2350M and 630M GT will run that beast game fine...

At 640*480 P

I haven't looked through all the benches, but 2K worth of GPUs out to be able to run with SSAA.

I guess people who are running 2k worth if GPU are running at 2560x1440/1600 or aiming for 120FPS.

So we still need more GPU power.

I was able to play Metro 2033 at very high settings, tessellation and PhysX enabled on my 580 SLI setup and GTS 250 for dedicated PhysX.

Hopefully, I will be able to do the same with Metro Last Light.

 

[Grooveriding]

Looks like the game includes a benchmark.

 

[blackened23]

What are the physx effects like? Metro 2033's physx effects were completely underwhelming and not noticeable, hopefully they're improved in the sequel.

Looking forward to Zogrim's fine comparisons!

Agh. The game is unplayable for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMTJp_p2NLQ

They need to fix this soon.

some others complaining too. this is why I almost always wait before buying a game. by the time everything gets fixed the game will likely be less than half price too.
