Thread: 2.0 GFX Engine vs PC specs

In it's current state the engine was designed on/for nVidia chipsets, virtually no AMD optimizations were included, easily one of the biggest failings it suffered and continues to until 2.0
So the answer here is, wait until 2.0 engine lands so we can see what they've done to improve it's ability to properly utilize AMD chipsets. nVidia support wasn't/isn't even great but it's light years ahead of the current AMD support.

With the number of ATI crash issues happenig naltely, you have to wonder.

2.0 uses the core of luminous B which uses Physx. You jsut won't have those effects.

2.0 also does not require high end pc's as was stated by Yoshi and is far more optimized.

Other aspects go into play. How well your system is optimized, transfer data across all aspects. and how well you can tweak it yourself.

RIght now 7900 series drivers seem Quarky, the card performs under my GTX480 and 590 in this game. Conciderign I have the dual GPU card.

Besides, peopel need to realzie a boost post. I could say, maybe, not sure if my 4 gpu's in tandom can handle it.

I never have driver crashes whether running in FS Crossfire or Windowed, the game occasionally does crash but it's not gfx related, it's the stupid elevator glitches, only place I ever crash.

The lack of support for multiple processors is more an issue w/ CPUs than it is GPUs, I get better performance when I lock the game on 2 cores than when I let it run across all 8. Assuming they fix that and truly support core-scaling in CPUs my game will probably continue to perform better in windowed(w/ shiftwindow for pseudo-FS) mode than in FS even if they get AMD GPU support right.

There's plenty of games out now that use PhysX that on AMD GPUs still easily clear 120FPS with settings at full, sure you lose a little of the GPU specific optimization but even w/o it you shouldn't be running @30 FPS, this is the only game I own currently that I can't max and still break 100FPS ; ;

Someday

physx is old and outdated and will not be used for further games.
They stopped with development of games for it about 2 years ago already.
not likely they gonna use it for the new grap engine , unless they want to bring back old technology.
Wich i highly doubt

Really that's odd. Since 4 titles this year all use Physix, and GW2 uses the new Physix 2.1+ found on the 600 series cards.

Arkham city used it heavily and it was a nov 2011 game. Now they are adding the features for the old and new variant to Skyrim. Must not be too old after all.
