Patch Notes and PC System Specs

Hilarious.

So my 1060 GTX looks incapable of significantly out-performing the PS4 version? How does that even make sense?

Sounds about right to me actually. On my GTX 1070 DAI puts out 40-60fps when fully maxed.

It's petty ridiculous what's going on with PC gaming these days. I'm about to buy a PS4 for Horizon, a game that looks way better than Tomb Raider on my 1500€ PC...Tomb Raider dipping into the 30s when ALMOST maxes out. Yup. Great stuff...

After I caved in and watched the Peebee mission video I'm so disgusted with the childish tone of the game that I'll borrow the console copy from a coworker eventually.

If it wasn't for modding I'd regret switching to PC four years ago.

So I'm a little curious.In anticipation towards this game how much did you guys upgrade on your pc? I went a little overboard myself, I planned to just upgrade my cpu but got a good deal on a mB and then bought a 22 inch monitor and a gti 1050 ti oc aswell. I'm sure it will be worth it when the game is out

For 200 bucks? Hell, yeah! And I'm fine with 30 fps even on PC. I'll take pretty graphics over fps any day. Just saying that those who want 60 fps in MEA on Ultra and all other bling bling enabled WILL have to buy a GTX 1070 (1080p) or 1080 (1440p or up). And THAT is ridiculous.

I'll have spent about 2750 euro to get my rig ready for ME-A by the time it goes live. (i7 7700K, 16gb DDR4 3000mhz, 1tb 960 Pro NVME, just missing the Strix 1080Ti to go with it)

If it doesn't blow my mind in 1440p I will go bonkers.

For anyone hoping for proper Ultrawide (21:9) or Eyefinity/Vision Surround (including proper HUD scaling), Bioware is mum so far.

I've got an Intel 6850K (six cores @ 3.6Ghz each core), 32GB DDR4 from GSkill @ 2400Mhz (in quad channel configuration), a 512mb Samsung M.2 w/ NVMe, a new Crucial MX300 1TB SSD (which I'm going to use for storage), a new GTX 1080FTW v.2 from EVGA, a Corsair H80i v.2 Liq. Cooler (which keeps my CPU running no hotter than 25 degrees C even under load; partially because my room is an icebox), an 850Watt P2 80+Platinum PSU (from EVGA) and my monitor is the 27SD850T from Samsung (was originally 799.99...I bought it for 449.00) 27-inches, 4ms response time and a res of 1440p.)....I'm hoping with all my fingers and toes crossed that I will be able to get near or equal to the performance that I get in DAI.

In DAI I get a stable 140 (sometimes as high as 165) fps with all settings on Ultra and/or Fade-Touched with v-sync off. Oddly though, my monitor is only a 60hz monitor (59.5 hz actually). But I get no screen tearing, texture popping or anything else during game play. The only time I get very minor tears is during the cut-scenes, but it doesn't happen in every cut-scene, and they're so small I don't even notice them all the time. I have to really LOOK. Not like other games I used to play where it was this HUGE ugly line right across my screen that reminded me of a VHS tape that had lost its tracking. But these tears when they happen they're so small and brief....It doesn't even bother me.

Anyways....I'm really excited about 'Andromeda'. I've tried to go dark, but I just can't do it. I really want to be able to play it asap. As in, right now. If I can reach anywhere from 90 to 110 FPS on Ultra and all the fancy settings maxed out I will be more than happy. But I"ve got another 12 days and counting.....Too bad it's not releasing over March Break....

They can't be serious with that 30fps/recommended thing.

Well, I'll find out in just a week...

That's not really true at all and is a big oversimplification .... The console versions typically run the gamut in terms of settings from lower than low to high, to matching in between, to being half one setting and half another or not lining up with any preset, and this can all change from area to area/map to map.

You can do that yourself in-game; all frostbite games have it these days. I dicked around with it in Inquisition last night for my previous post.
