Nothing got worked out on The Witcher's side. I didn't gain a single fucking frame with AMD's new drivers.
I mean this game looks like it's gonna take the graphical crown on Ultra.

I've already said everything I wanted to say about this shitty announcement. so I will just quote myself:
My specs just in case:
CPU : AMD FX-8350 Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz
GPU : GIGABYTE Radeon R9 280X 1000Mhz 3GB VRAM 6000Mhz 384 bit REV 2.0 (GA-R928XO3)
RAM : 2x4GB DDRIII 1333 MHz

There's a difference between demanding and unoptimised. 6GB is nothing nowadays and if you expect to max out games then you'll need a better GPU than that, regardless of what other games need.
The question on my mind is why a card that is superior to the ones on consoles and a 660 is only going to provide a minimum recommended performance? Since we won't get any official answers the community will just make one ( the usual "nvidia moneyhat" "AMD drivers r shit"). I already see people jumping to conclusions. I won't personally be affected by this but it still upsets me because a younger version of myself would not be able to afford the equipment I own now and would be dealing with this kind of shit.

I'm talking about the 390x they just refreshed. The Fury X looks great and hopefully will beat the 980 Ti. Maybe the 390x isn't the card that AMD want's to compare to the 980 Ti, but it's what's available and people will make the comparisons.
Well, I have a 560ti in my PC, but at launch it was either get a bit further ahead than what I had without opening the window for more games (immediately), or get a console that's just marginally better GPU-wise than my PC and open the door for a lot more games, such as Bloodborne. I think that was the right call at the period of launch, though a year later with the 970 out it would be more about either getting WAY better PC graphics or console exclusives.
Still, there's that fundamental truth that as you wait on computer upgrades they can get way, way better whereas consoles MAY get cheaper, but possibly not as fast as they could. And as much as I'd like a matte HDD cover that really doesn't compare to what the same wait on GPUs gets you. Never mind that to get what I'd REALLY want out of PC I'd also need a new, 144hz monitor.

Just like there is a difference between optimized game (GTA V) and not optimized game (AK - this is so very clear right now after the announcement).
Not looking for this at all, especially in the case with AK. But HD 7950 in min specs is just nonsense. Heh, why even bother to optimise the game for old GPUs if you can just live the game unoptimised for them to help in selling new ones which btw just got released (I'm sure this is just a "coincidence") - PC gaming in the nutshell.

Where do you guys think I'll realistically be sitting at with my rig? Here's the specs:
i7 920 overclocked to 3.9 GHz
12 GB RAM
GTX 770 w/ 2GB
I would love to be able to run this at 60 fps like I have been for the entire Arkham series (in 3D no less), but I'm trying to set my expectations down to 1080p/locked 30 fps at a mix of medium and high settings with no 3D. If I can manage that or better, I'll be satisfied grabbing it on my PC instead of my PS4, but I hope I don't regret the gambit.

Has there been any PC game were a 7870 or 7950 didn't produce superior visuals and performance to the PS4 version?
no there has not

Which is why once again I upgraded my GPU to a nVidia GTX 970 rather then a AMD variant.
It's just not worth it for me buying AMD with the issues that come with it.

neo-whoa.gif. I just upgraded from my 6950 2GB to a 970. So so worth it.

People do realize that Nvidia isn't really throwing literal money at devs to write better code for them, right? What they do is share their knowledge base and provide engineering assistance to the devs. AMD is just as capable of doing the same thing. Let's face it, at minspec, this is not a Gameworks issue.

G-Sync + GTX970 + i7 will hopefully grant me something close to maxed out around 50-60fps.

If anything you're CPU limited, but the 920 is an amazing CPU(so saying your CPU limited is a bit misleading) that you obviously overclocked a bit. You'll be fine. I'm playing with very similiar set up(minus CPU) i74770k@4Ghz/GTX 770 combo and I imagine we'll get at a minimum 30 fps with most settings high/max. I hesitate to say 60 fps though.
This is true. It can also be argued as "minimum" for "that PC experience." IE you can do just fine on a 560ti, it'll just be hovering around 30 fps and be near identical to PS4. Which admittedly isn't what many want out of PC gaming, but does mean that until they start being really lame with support you could rock that computer to the end of a generation. Kinda pessimistic there though, but it's nice we may have entered an area where minimum ISN'T "well it'll start up" and more "this is to run on high at mostly 60 fps."

They can't afford it when their valuation is over 5x less than Nvidia's.

Wow, seriously? A day before launch? My brother pre-ordered the game a while ago and he has a 2gb 7950. Now you're saying it's not enough? Well, that's just great.
BlackNinja

I suspect this as well. We'll see soon!
So how did they afford things like Tomb Raider?
And yes, their valuation is much lower. They should probably focus more on R&D and getting their cards up to snuff as well as their drivers. It's not like AMD is some wounded underdog. It's a business, just like NVIDIA. Do you people really think that NVIDIA would be the only company using money to better their own products if the funds were available?

Why do people think all games are created equal? That's a weird comparison to GTA V. Do you really think AK is doing the same stuff as GTA V?
BlackNinja

I guess they can afford maybe a couples of games.
It just baffles me that people think that AMD is some kind of underdog video card Jesus that is coming to bring open source and free everything because they think it's them being super generous.
They do it because it's good and free PR. NVIDIA doesn't need to do it because they know their cards are better than the competitions (at least until we see Fury benchmarks).

I have a i5-3570K @ 4Ghz, 8Gig mem and a GTX970. I hope I can max this game out.
They said an SLI profile is part of this release, but yeah - also not showing a compatibility bit for me either. Perhaps they'll push it via GeForce experience?

They are the underdog and not because of their hardware. It's because:
1) They can't afford to pay for support of games (you admitted that)
-and-
2) Their software team isn't nearly as robust as Nvidia's. You *might* see some driver updates 2-3 weeks after this game hits tomorrow. The latest drivers for OpenGL *might* work in the latest Maya 2016, etc.. etc..
Some people can't afford the software hit/miss cycles of AMD and would rather just pay more for the tried-n-true Nvidia driver/software support. Nvidia is hardly ever late on releasing drivers for most AAA games, have great drivers for other O/S like Linux, and usually works with multiple vendors (i..e Autodesk, etc..) to make sure their cards work with mainstream applications.

AOC g2460Pg. 1080p 144hz. One of the most basic G-Sync screens, but I am very happy with it.
They are the underdog, but they shouldn't be treated as though they legit care more about the consumer than NVIDIA, that's more what I was getting at, sorry for not making it clear.
It's a business like NVIDIA, with the exact same objective. That is all I'm trying to say.

Raising the minimum specs after a significant number of users have already bought the game is both misleading and ethically dubious.

I got off the SLI bandwagon long ago. Just had too many problems with dual cards (i.e. VR support, multiple monitors, and a LOT of good AAA games).

The new Nvidia drivers released today have like 6 or 7 "known issues" with Batman. These drivers were specifically released for the game. I'm scared it's shipping buggy as hell, at least I didn't pay for it, it was free with my 980 Ti.
For the SLI people:
Just confirmed with Sean Pelletier (Senior Product Manager for GeForce SW) on twitter that the SLI profile will be pushed automatically via GeForce Experience before the game launches today.

There is currently no SLI compatibility bit in the game profile, even with these drivers, but ^^

A 660 minimum is pretty crazy.
