Yes, big time. That's why you didn't notice much performance gain from overclocking the Phenom II, because you were already GPU-bound. My...
The issue is this game is terribly optimized so the HUD eats your frames for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. That's why this long thread...
user101: Wuuttt? I don't even... Everyone is now dumber for having read that
Maybe it helps on a potato PC, but reducing audio channels does nothing if you have a dedicated sound card or a CPU that meets the minimum requirement
*Daybreak Game Company, not Sony. You've been away for a while. SOE doesn't exist anymore. ;) How can you expect SLI to scale well in a game as...
True, but turning it off does provide a massive performance boost, esp. in SLI, even if the game isn't particularly playable that way. Last year SOE...
SSAO is completely GPU-based
You're complaining to the wrong entity. SOE doesn't exist anymore. Oh, you want better performance in SLI? Turn off the HUD.
CPU-heavy settings in order: HUD Render Distance Shadow Quality Everything else is GPU
Then provide evidence of never dropping below 60 FPS in 96+ vs. 96+ at full Ultra
At full Ultra never dropping below 60 FPS in 96+ vs. 96+? Specs?
So you're validating his point. Because turning down all the most demanding settings and leaving all the non-demanding ones at Ultra naturally...
In that case, buying a mobo of the wrong socket and platform/DDR generation than what your CPU supports is a major case of "u dun goofed." It has...
Exactly why are you comparing a Z97 and X99 board? Totally different platforms and sockets (LGA 1150 vs. LGA 2011-v3). That means different CPU...
You would need an LN2-cooled Intel CPU at around 6 GHz or so
