Hi all,

 

I have a system with:

 

-i7-4930k 3.4ghz six core

-16 gb RAM

-GTX 980

-Intel 900 Series SSD

-IMPORTANT: 2560x1600 monitor

 

I put the game at max settings just to see how it would run. On benchmark, I am getting only about 20-30 fps.

 

When I go to geforce experience for recommended settings, it suggests:

 

-Turn effects quality down to high from ultra

-Turn multi-sample anti-aliasing down from 4x to off

 

When I do this, I get about 40-45 fps

 

Questions:

 

1) Do I really need GTX 980 in SLI, even with this rig, to get 60fps at 2560x1600?

2) Would you run with what geforce experience is recommending or turn down the graphics even more to get steady 60fps?

3) What should I change to get steady 60fps with the least loss in my end-user graphics experience compared to max settings (i.e. what I would notice versus what I wouldn't notice)

4) Is there much of a change between what I would need to lower to in order to get 60fps? Is it honestly noticeable? Am I wasting money dumping $500+ to get another GTX 980 to get 60fps at max or will I really notice it?

 

Thanks much in advance

Not going to happen, even on a Titan, the game won't hold a steady 60 FPS, drops into the 40s fairly often. I'd run with what looks a feels good to you but, MSAA is the first thing I'd lower.

Getting 60fps on MSAA is hard.  :(

Personally, I prefer setting Effects Quality to Low; removes the shine and reduces density from FX, makes spells to appear more natural, and increases FPS. As I have health conditions which makes disorienting FX problematic, this tip from a Bioware Dev has helped my game quite a bit.

I also run MXAA at x2 setting; have a GTX 670, and gameplay runs well.

Recommend emptying the cache before gameplay; run Disk Cleanup myself for this purpose.

Here's a trick I found out that worked wonders, first thing to turn down or off has to be MSAA, after that change Tessellation from Ultra to Medium, thank me later! :)

 

The game is extremely demanding, in fact it's the most demanding game so far that I've ever played on my rig. Personally I wouldn't change Effects any lower then Ultra, they look way too blurred.

Put post processing on low.

Turn MSAA off, especially if you're playing at higher resolution.  I play at 2560x1440 and there is no difference whatsoever in the game.  I think the higher resolution takes care of smoothing out the edges on its own.

 

I have everything else maxed out.

Thanks for help. Was able to get it running smoothly now at about 45-55. All I had to lower is antialiasing to off - looks great. Everything else is at max - you guys rock.

one more quick question - is there a site or a place where I can quickly see a picture of and understand the various condition modifiers? I am just starting the game, and for example, my characters sometimes get one ability where they get a big blue bar, and then another one has a grey bar on her health that seems to be a barrier.

I see lots of references with text, but is there a place that shows all the condition modifiers with pictures?

 

Thanks for help

It's not explained well at all in the game. The blue bar is barrier and the grey bar is guard. I assume it was on a warrior. Guard is 1/4 of of the HP (Not 100% sure! but pretty sure it's 1/4) of the person using it and has to be destroyed before the person's health will be touched. Same with a barrier they have to be destroyed before the person will lose actual health.

I wish I had a link.

NM - got a nice response from Esther in another thread:

 

 

The grey bar is your guard, the blue one is a barrier.  

 

You can check out the following link

Just scroll down to the "Guard, Barrier & Avoiding Damage" section and there are some more helpful tips for newbies.

 

Have fun getting into the game, hope you'll enjoy    :)
