Dead Rising 3 for PC

[armycombatvet7]

Well I got my hands on a copy of Dead Rising 3 for the PC. My rig is running on an Intel i7 4770k overclocked to 4.24GHz, Windows 8.1, and a Gigabyte OC Edition 780Ti. The typical setup amongst PC gamers. 

 

I spent about 3 to 4 hours in the game and it is an amazing port. For some reason the 30 FPS cap was taken out already after it finished installing and didn't have to change anything. I did figure out where the file was and you can change it from True to False or back to True for no cap. The game, in the highest detail settings, stays around 60fps with small drops here and there but nothing noticeable unless you're like me with FRAPS FPS counter in the corner of the screen watching every second of it. The lowest it dropped was like 53fps, and that was when a crap load of stuff was happening on screen in a wide open area like on the bridge. I use an Xbox One controller wired to my computer using the Play & Charge kit from Microsoft (which is amazing as well, very high quality). 

 

Only downfall. After playing for a few hours, now the game crashes to desktop without letting me know what the error was. I run it as administrator, changed the game to 30fps which isn't that bad to begin with, and even lowered the graphics settings. It still crashes after about an hour or so of gameplay. Pretty shitty, but I got it for free. Hopefully it will be fixed within a day or so. Capcom is really good on us PC gamers. And Dead Rising 3 sure was an amazing port. I am impressed. I really hope that Grand Theft Auto V will be an amazing port as well, and another game my 780Ti can eat up and spit out like its nothing But the amount of fun I have with this game outweighs my frustration for it crashing. I just save it every couple of minutes and go on killing rampages. It's not like Watch Dogs where it stuttered soo much it was unplayable. This game gets 10/10 from me. I hope Capcom or Steamworks, whichever patches the game, comes out with the fixes. Some people are getting load screen crashes and no starts. Luckily mine lets me play, for about an hour, then crashes to the desktop.

 

(Including a picture I took in game showing the high level of detail. For some reason this game hates FRAPs, at least on my setup, and crashes when I try to take a screenshot in game lol.)

before we even get started i just want to say that an i7 and 780ti aren't common set ups for games. from what i have seen a 8320 or 4670k with a 770 or 290 are the most common set ups

Saw TB´s video on the game. my issue is it does not support SLI and needs optimization.

Not a lot of gamers have i7s and 780tis. I have an i7, for other reasons, but I have an r9 290 instead of the 780ti. It's literally half the price for 15% less performance.

[armycombatvet7]

PC gamers who make good $$$$ then lol. I have a wife and two kids and they're more spoiled then I am Brats...

 

I just see alot of enthusiasts with the same old i7 4770k setups. I had a 770 until it died on me. Stupid power went out here in South Korea where I'm stationed at and I left my PC on and for some reason it shorted the board or something because I went to play Dark Souls and it wasn't reading my graphics card and was defaulting to my CPU for graphics processing.

 

SLI setups are a pain in the ass and are not worth it in the long run, since as you can see, many games do not like to play well with SLI. The 780Ti is a beast for a single GPU card and instead of adding a second one, I'll wait a couple years for like an Nvidia Titan XYZ Black Edition to come out or something. Since they want to come out with cards every year since I've been able to type on a keyboard. Well also before they were Nvidia, when 3dFx was the shit with its insane 4MB of VRAM. We can see that they can make games that rarely use the GPU to its fullest potential but still come out with crazy insane games that nobody with a decent budget can game with (cough cough, Crysis 3. Even tho I can run you at High with FXAA on, I still can't touch you in Ultra for pure 60fps gameplay).

totalbiscuit didnt have too much good to say about it

 

said it was ok but not spectacular

The R9 290 is an awesome card. But I parted ways with AMD long ago when their customer support acted like total assholes to me. Until I see them able to release a card that throws everything else out of the water and hold that ground for a few years, I'll think of switching to them. I love those Dual GPU Watercooled cards tho. Very sexy. Where's your liquid cooling at Nvidia????

I saw his video too. He mentioned Linus in it lol. He was having problems with a Titan Black, which is an insane graphics card. But Nvidia needs to keep it in the Workstation department or something because the 780Ti still smokes it for gaming, in most cases at least.

This isnt a good port its shamefully bad, think about this, your system costs a lot of money, the fact that a £1000 system with a gtx 770 or 280x cant max this game out is silly, the game doesnt even look good, the zombie textures are ok and there are many other hack and slash games, an example is dw8xlce which can have up to 500 enemies on screen at once which can be maxed by a i3 + 7870. Considering its maxed on the xbone with the textures at 720p instead makes this silly, they havent spent a lot of times optimizing.

[DjDafiDak]

finding it hard to believe you are getting constant 60fps even with ur beast rig, are you at 1080p also rendering at 1080p? everything maxed?

 

i got a 780 overclocked quite alot and in some location it goes down to around 40-50 also TB was getting ~30 at some places, granted ur gpu is better but still double his performance, sounds weird.

 

just a bit odd to me, but who knows maybe for some reason it works so much much better on 780 ti.

Even a 780 is a better idea for price/performance than the 780ti for that matter.

Lol yea its a constant 60fps with drops sometimes like 53fps then it goes back up. Everything is at max with the resolution thingy at FULL. AA is all the way up even tho FXAA is the best option out of the 3 they have. The 780Ti is a much more powerful card than the 780. When I bought my 780Ti it was on sale for $590. That's a steal to me. It came with Watch Dogs as well which I don't play much anyways. 

[armycombatvet7]

Out of all the Dead Rising games, this is by far the best. I can actually do some kind of combat. Is Dynasty Warriors any good on the PC? 

[armycombatvet7]

Oh nevermind. Dynasty Warriors is that dumbass game that used to be on the Playstation consoles. Terrible Japanese games.

I'm getting my price for performance from my card Everything I throw at it it never fails me. I love it. I wish I could use both my 770 and my 780Ti cards in this rig but Nvidia is retarded when it comes to SLI with the same chipset crap.

I'm not saying the 780ti won't perform great, I'm just saying it's not worth 250$ more than a 780 imo.

I think we are seeing the same thing we saw with Watch_Dogs. Irregular performance measures on systems with similar or the same setup. TB is running the game on a i7 and Titan, yet no matter what settings he changes(except game quality), he experiences no performance changes.

 

 

If anyone is interested in this, I'd suggest you wait and see what everyone else is getting performance wise. Also, a i7 and a 780ti on this game should be constant 60FPS, no questions asked. I can already tell this game is poorly optimized.

What he said. Lol.

Mkay, a few things: a 780ti is the best and most expensive single gaming GPU out there (not counting titans) and definitely not a "common" setup. The average PC gamer is still running a dual core CPU or an i5 and a 200$ - 300$ GPU.

 

The fact that the game still dips below 60FPS at 1080p should not be "fine", it is fucking pathetic. This is not a "great" port from your experience, it is pretty bad. This game, with its okay graphics and not a whole lot of extensive AA, should run absolutely butter smooth with a 780ti. It definitely doesn't look good enough to justify the performance you're getting. Quite a few people have moved on to 1440p monitors and they're not all willing to pay 700+ bucks for a GPU. I can't imagine how the game performs at higher resolutions if a 780ti struggles to maintain 60FPS at 1080p..... Most PC gamers will have a pretty bad time with this game from the looks of it, and that shouldn't be okay.

 

TB has SLI titans, not titan blacks IIRC. It doesn't really matter though, a single titan shouldn't have an issue with this game at 1080p either.

 

Your statement about a 780ti crushing a titan black in gaming is weird and doesn't make any sense whatsoever
