Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Thanks Kezen. So looks like my 2GB will be not enough even for console quality (based on that screenshot, high textures are made for 3GB cards). But I will try high settings anyway, just to see what will happen. Cod ghosts and dead rising 3 run fine even on my 2GB card (no stuttering compared to watch dogs) and maybe it would be the same with shadow of mordor.

 

Ok, so i take that you have some inside information.I hope you're right because i don't wanna waste money on a 8GB card, i think it's too early for that.

 

Neither Ghosts nor Dead Rising 3 demand 3GB for console like textures, Mordor probably does.

 

textures perhaps, but otherwise you are forgetting how weak the hardware in those consoles really is, if they optimize it at least a little bit pc would need to run on medium quality with possibly high textures, high should look quit a bit better than consoles

 

The initial point was about textures :

Matching the consoles in terms of textures will require a 3GB GPU (speculation on my part) but I have no idea what settings are used on both consoles. I'd wager something like a mix of medium and high.

We will know when PS4 and PC footage will be out in the wild.

 

Would mean 7PM in Germany

 

Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor Has An In-Game Benchmark, GTX970 Reported Pushing 70FPS At 1080p

So far so good, but let's see what happens when the texture pack gets released

 

you'll get drops to single digits, according to that Dorlor propaganda.

To sum this up, 70fps with everything maxed on a single 970. No HD textures though. I will tell you now, you can expect up to 5 fps drop with those enabled. So there you have it.

 

In my experience, higher texture quality usually can only cause stutters , never lower fps , but maybe i didn't see it all

 

The game won't need 6gb vram with everything maxed out, including textures. It plays as good on a 970 as it does on a titan. In fact, it plays better on the 970.

 

Guys please let me know how this game runs on 3gb cards. I dont know yet if im getting pc or ps4 version. THANKS

 

There is also probably some recording overhead, I wouldn't take that min fps so serious.. It kinda appears its at very beginning when it starts measuring it, kinda like by Thief and that doesn't really tell anything.

 

It's from the beginning, just like Thief's benchmark.The real min is 59 frames.

 

Yeah, now we have to see what's this bs with 6gb vram limit, is it really because of that SSAA - downsampling or not..

 

it's no bs, it's real. you'll need 6gb vram or else you're doomed.

 

Why is the US version releasing at 12PM tomorrow and not 12AM tonight?
Goddamn I wont be able to play until I get home at 9PM if I am LUCKY!

 

He explains here the Vram usage for Ultra and High textures..

It seems like Ultra textures are working for him as they consume 3580MB instead of high textures consuming 2889MB.

But for Ultra he says :

Ultra approximate average: 60-70, but with some very bad swaps [1-2 secs of freeze] every, mmh, 40 minutes?
Seems like the V-RAM needed to 're-cache' every certain spot.

 

Greenman has sent out their keys. I bought it now and got it instantly. Preloading.

 

So... like I said, nowhere near 4gb vram usage. Ultra textures have about 5fps performance hit. those swaps happen, very rarely. Either a driver issue or something that will be patched.

 

Yep. Almost 4gb... that's definitely 6.
