R9 390 Fallout 4 Optimization

[Morgan MLGman]

actualy 980ti @ 1440p = R9 390 @ 1080p no? :huh:

i mean my from what i can tell in many games my GTX780 @ 1080p was achieving somewhat similar performance to my 980ti at 1440p...which would make sense since the 980ti is roughly 65% faster than the 780 BUT 1440p is 77.77% more pixels to render...i mean yes the 980ti is more consistant and perform a bit better but even a GTX 780 or GTX970 or R9 290/390 should have NO PROBLEM playing that game on high settings easily.

 

unpleasant experience?!?! are you freaking kidding me?! do you SERIOUSLY even begin to consider that a super powerful 700$ GM200 gpu can't max out a game built on a 5 years+ old game engine?! seriously?! i mean unless maybe you try to render the game at 4K i see no way you can get a ''unpleasant experience'' on a 980ti...it totaly destroy the game at 1440p i'm above 80FPS 95%+ of the time and my settings well they are simple: 2560x1440 - FXAA - graphics detailed all maxed out (i run HIGH godrays because the highest setting is too much for my liking, not because it hurt the performance in any ways).

 

Maybe those guys that are complaining are running it on a core i5-4440 or freaking FX-83XX or something like that instead of a powerful overclocked haswell core i7 CPU and THIS is the problem to their poorer experience, not the nvidia GTX 980ti graphics card.

 

Tonight i'll do a video about that i'll show my settings and record some footage on max details, i'll have something to show you guys.

Looking forward to the video. You know, you're saying that you don't have any issues with Fallout, I'm glad to hear that, but other people do, actually many of them, regardless of their GPU manufacturer... Yes, AMD GPU owners had issues the first week, but this patch fixed those as you saw in the link I pasted in my previous post, as the Fury X edged out a 980Ti @4K resolution.

Bethesda's games are known to be buggy when they are released, that's no secret. Maybe the CPU is the problem, I have not played any Fallout game in my life cause I simply do not find them fun, not my type of a game, but as you said previously, you find The Witcher 3 boring, it's all up to personal preference

You might have no issues, I have no issues when gaming with my 8350 while there are people claiming that you "can't game on an FX". That doesn't mean other people don't have issues... I've seen a benchmark posted 4 hours ago by a tech site, a 290X outperforms a 780Ti in fallout 4 on recent drivers. It doesn't seem to be AMD's fault now.

So the is 390x good for fallout 4 now?

[App4that]

This spot? Check the FPS and this on GTX980Ti, found it on Reddit

Btw, can someone upload their savegame at Lexington? I just want to do some testing.

 

Anyone tried ENBBoost for Fallout 4? http://enbdev.com/download_mod_fallout4.htm

Close, my spot is on the ground by the Super Mart.

[App4that]

Is crossfire working now?

I'm not in crossfire in the moment, was going to sell the 290 but now the wife is building a graphic design PC and took my 290. Updating profile now.

Should be. It should perform pretty decent, definitely better than a GTX 970, which is the only thing from Nvidia you could buy for a 390X budget. 390 is better price/performance wise, I can advise looking for a 290X cause while it's a little less powerful than a 390X, it's faster than a 390 and should cost about the same.

I benchmarked Tomb Raider my old 970 OC vs my new 290X OC and the average FPS difference is: 970 - AVG. FPS - 114,4 | 290X - AVG. FPS - 138,9 with min and max being higher by around the same amount... (it's that particular game cause I had a video of the benchmark with my old 970, doesn't prove anything definitely but that difference isn't a coincidence)

right now the r9 390x is 350 dollars with a mir and the 390 is 310 so yeah

[Morgan MLGman]

If it's only 40$ more then you should get it. MSI Gaming or Sapphire versions. How are the 290X's? Maybe second hand? They can seriously be even cheaper than 970s (they are in Poland for some reason)

cheapest 290x on pcpartpicker is 350 dollars to about 500 dollars

gtx 970 is 330 dollars where I am

[Morgan MLGman]

gtx 970 is 330 dollars where I am

If R9 390 - 310 $, and R9 390X - 350$ while the GTX 970 costs 330$, the 390 has the best price/performance ratio, but I would personally prefer the 390X option... I'd just wait a month if I was short on money and got it Definitely not the 970

the benchmarks i've seen so far do not agree with you?

the 970 seem to outperform even the 390X in fallout4 so far isnt it?

This is what I found on some russian tech site, it's specified that these are the newest drivers from AMD, Fallout 4 optimised:

1440P

GTX 690 = R9 280(7950) and 7990 = 960

Sorry but that's hilarious

The water is extremely muddy when it comes to Fallout 4. The 970 isn't the magical solution it at first appeared to be. You can be at 60fps and take a step to the right and dive to 40, step back to the original position and you're fine.. It'd not the GPU causing this, it's the rest of the systems response to shit coding. The difference between scores with 2400MHz ram and 1600MHz ram is the big clue to what's happening. A 4690k even overclock isn't enough ether and that's considered a powerful CPU and is more than most people playing the game run. It's shit coding and that shit coding over taxes the system causing fps crashes.

 

EDIT* YAY! My warning points are gone! Who can I piss off today

Well, no SLI or Crossfire support so even the 295x2 is shit ^^ Gotta love Bethesda

Game was designed for 30fps on consoles - what do you expect?

Honestly, better. But I won't make that mistake again. Still a good game even though it runs like shit. But I won't give them any money for DLC until it's fixed, and if that means I move on so be it. I'll just give MechWarrior more money for fancy Mechs.

I think this is a good time to say "I told you so" when you were 100% sure it was the card's fault

but WHY 1440p?! most people buying those GPU's are looking for 1080p performance:

 

(at this resolution you can see the 970 here doing slightly better than even a Fury Nano which is a MUCH more powerful GPU according to some people)

 

 

(here the 970 is better than the R9 Fury...again some say this is a much more powerful chip)

 

 

(and here the 970 slap bitch the 390X running fallout 4 on ultra details at 1080p)

 

All the reviews seem to agree, the 970 is much more capable at running fallout 4...am i missing something?

You literally purposefully picked the old amd drivers benchmarks chart. The updated one was like 2 cm below it, that kinda proves my point about you fanboying. No way you didn't notice that.

15.11.1 version @1080p

i was not even aware there was a new driver...the 970 still doing noticeably better than the 290X though which is according to your say even better than the R9 390 right?

What the hell We all were talking about AMD releasing new F4 drivers yesterday for like a day and my last 4-3 posts mentioned it every time.

That friend, is what you call margin of error - when AMD is ahead by 2 fps it's "random chance" but if Nvidia are ahead by 1-2 fps it's "superior hardware". #DoubleStandards

lol i was soooo busy yesterday i barely even came in here i was selling the GTX780 and what not

ohhh...you can't even count up to 4 can you?! minimum FPS is much more relevant as well btw.
