CoD: Advanced Warfare release in 3 days - Still no SLI support

OlekKing

So i was doing something with Nvidia Inspector and decided to take a look at the Advanced Warfare profile, and what a surprise! 

 

There are no compatibility bits for anything at all nor any history of tweaks/changes applied to the profile, as you can see in the bottom.

 

We are 3 days away from the DayZero version launch and 4 days away from the regular one.

 

Are we to expect a new driver or even an entire SLI profile being updated (either seems kind of unlikely)?

People still play CoD?

I know you all have fun making these little jokes, but i'm genuinely interested in this release and after all i'm only paying 15€ for it via the g2a marketplace...

They promised more attention for the PC and yet i'm seeing this...

No one with a serious SLI rig plays CoD. And like you would need SLI to run it. A R7 260x can pobably run it at "ultra" 4k.

What kind of BS is that?

 

I have a ROG Swift 1440p 144Hz G-Sync monitor, i want both the high resolution and the high framerate, i also plan to use DSR int the future once they make it work with SLI + G-Sync setups like mine...

 

I keep seeing stupid posts like that claiming "OOOOH THAT'S OVERKILL, YOU DON'T NEED SLI FOR THAT YOU IDIOT!!"

 

That's completely ridiculous, i have SLI because i want to max out every game while keeping high framerates and also to downsample crazy resolutions.

The CoD series has never been really that hard to run. It is so light at least on my rig it feels. And the netcode is pretty bad imo. I got shot after I went to cover enough many times to prove it. And I think it is going to be a straight up console port, so that might be why.

How is that relevant?

 

Although this game is still based on the old ass engine it has plenty of upgraded effects, i won't say it looks amazing, but definitely looks more on par with modern games.

 

A lot of the lighting looks pretty good and texture work seem quite good as well.

Look at the Watch_Dogs trailer and the finished game. That is a trailer. I bet the trailer does not even tun on the CoD engine. It is just modeled like the textures.

Why are you bringing up WD when this isn't a Ubisoft game?

 

Thing is also that WD in 2012 looked mind blowing, there isn't even a game today that looks as good, it almost looked to good to be true if you know what i mean...the demo ran on x2 680s and an i7, it looked so good that they downgraded it so people with consoles or lower end hardware wouldn't complain. It's sad.

 

This just looks good, not mind blowing.

That's a rather stupid comment. I know people that have beast rigs that play CoD.

But the demo was a demo. The end result looks so much horrible.

I'm buying the cd box though.

 

I have all COD and BF series (except the COD adv warfare and bf4 and whatever is released next)

 

I love both of them although I didn't like cod much after cod 2 but I'm still buying the cd box just for collections sake.

 

adv warefare is not yet released or so I think but even if it is. so long as the box copy is not yet in store I can't buy it.

Live your life like a dream.

Please tell me that was sarcasm!

This is taken from the same level they demoed at E3 but here it's running on a PC and they just used a free camera and lots of DoF to make it look cool.

 

How can you honestly think this is CG?

I can clearly see the aliasing and imperfect polygons if i expand the picture, low res textures on the ground, ugly low res pieces of concrete laying around...

What are you talking about? The demo was running on the Xbox One at sub 900p and framerate that dropped to the 30s at times, there was some nice looking stuff considering it ran on a console, the screenshot above seems like what you'd see on the PC version, remember it's also captured in 4K there.

It doenst look horrible, but from footage I have seen it its not that much better than Ghosts, which had some poor texture work

 

for example, and you can tell when the cutscene kicks in on the bridge there as way more fidelity than in the gameplay parts

 

 

I fully intend to pick this up, and play the whole game, I have done with every COD so far, I am just not getting hyped for it, maybe the game will surprise me, but I am not holding my breath

 

Also CG? its all CG,.. its all computer generated graphics :P but those are promotional screenshots... I would not take them as 100% gospel

COD is for consoles.

 

The only COD worth owning on PC in my opinion is World at War.  You could mod Zombies and got the DLC for free.

How would I put it. Yes. Oh that is how. Those are probebly from a cutscene or something. That is not how the game looks.

All of the gameplay videos so far have been from the Xbox One version, it looks quite shitty on it.

And you know very well that the term "CGI" is most commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special effects in films and television.

 

If we're talking about in-game we usually say real time graphics or something like that.

 

I'm also skeptical but i'm not sure what prevents you from thinking that these are in-game PC screenshots, you've already said it doesn't look horrible, i'll just say that it does look nice.

 

It's mainly the high poly models and good texturing.

 

I've seen the gameplay videos, when they switch to the in-game cutscenes it doesn't look graphically better, they just use a lot of depth of field, motion blur and camera shake to give you that impression, and since it's all motion captured it just looks more natural.

It's taken from that sequence, they just used their free camera tools on PC to set up the shots.

 

That's 900p xbox gameplay with crappy framerate, you can see that it's pretty close, if that footage was 4K with some more settings cranked up as well as AA, i don't see how it wouldn't look like the screenshots.

 

The screenshots don't even look amazing, they just have very good poly count and texturing on characters, what exactly prevents you from thinking it's just PC imagery?

 

You can actually see the places where they set up those nice shots in the video above.

Because every game that has ever come out, since the beginning of gaming, has already had really impressive screenshots of "in game graphics" that turn out to not look like that at all

 

I am not categorically saying its not, and I will probably find it really good if it does look like that, just not going to shout from the rooftops that it looks amazing without seeing it for myself and I am using my previous judgement of older COD game launches to base this off

 

We will find out soon, if it looks as good as the developer is saying, I really hope it does, because previous COD titles have been disappointing
