I'd like to pick card recommendation discussion in the stickied parts-picking thread so as not to fracture discussion; keeping this thread for architecture, industry, and upcoming product chat.

Some upcoming games - Metro 2034: Last Light, Borderlands 2. edit: Also the Batman games have used it to the best effect, in my experience. The Scarecrow sequences in AA were night and day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyKCM-Bpuw&hd=1 Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 06:50 on May 15, 2012 |

Unreal Engine 3 was just never designed for environments that large, so the AC devs had to employ quite a bit of streaming stuff that seems to create hitches whenever you move around the environment. It drove me nuts that my 2600k @ 4.6 GHz with a GTX 680 was still getting hiccups so I switched to a 256GB Samsung 830 SSD and that cleaned most of it up. Basically, I think the hitches are caused by loading new data from your hard drive/SSD. You'll usually get a hiccup the first time you spin the camera around in an environment since it hasn't loaded everything, but do it again and it won't hiccup. Maybe they could patch it to be better optimized for large amount of system RAM or video RAM, but at this point I think it is what it is. Arkham City really showcases the limits of UE3, unfortunately. Their DX11 code path appears to be a piece of poo poo too and the SSAO implementation destroys frame rates.

Alereon what settings did you fiddle with? I notice the texture shimmering on my 680 and wouldn't mind cleaning that up a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOvfn1p92_8 Unreal Engine 4 stuff from E3. That lighting model is insane. The tools are drastically improved too. I'm glad Epic is trying to address the "more detail = more development costs" with better tools.

Holy poo poo these beta NVIDIA drivers are what the GTX 680 needed on day one. Arkham City is phenomenal now, and the Witcher 2 is beautiful at 2560x1440.

I've got nothing on my PC gaming radar for a while and the PC rarely gets turned on anymore. Come on, NVIDIA. Give me an excuse to buy something stupid.
