I’m running a GTX960 on High, and never get below 40-50fps in D2. Most of the time, I’m exceeding 100.

I have 32GB of RAM, and have my whole house on a realtime SNMP/WMI monitor.

D2 uses 10-12GB of RAM and drives the 4 cores in my I5 at 40-50% CPU.

Looks awesome....

Do you recommend this game? Should I get one?

My setup is i7 4790k @ 4.5Ghz, 32GB DDR3 RAM, and ASUS Strix GTX 970.

My evga 1060 3gb sc doesn't keep stable 60 fps on mixed medium/high settings and I have an i5-2500 that runs around 75-85% utilization with 6.5gb of RAM out of my 8 being used, Its been annoying.... to say the least. Probably going to upgrade to zen+ or i5-8600 h370 when it comes out.

Will clearing out 68 Gig of SSD space to run the game provide any benefit or should it be run off the hard drive.

Disabling Depth of Field can give you back 10-20 fps average. I don't miss the effect in a first person shooter. I run it off of a normal hard drive. Once I figured out my normal overclock settings on the GPU just weren't going to work (I'm down to just +100 on both core and mem), it runs like a dream.

The gunplay is just top notch. For normal play, you can 100% rely on the weapons, and add in the various abilities as you go. They aren't essential until you're in the harder modes and really looking to maximize teamwork and efficiency. It's a great game.

[/quotemsg] Loading times are significantly improved while on my SSD. Running a 6700 paired with 16gb and a 1060. Takes from 20-25 seconds to load a map on SSD and close to a minute on my SSHD.

Hope that helps

Why does the iv card list say Vega 56 and the benchmarks are 64's ?

Why the hell did you use so old drivers for Nvidia since 388.31 give up to 53% performance increase in Destiny 2? And you update with trying new amd drivers , but you even dont use up to date drivers from Nvidia..

 

[cpt.pants]

These benchmarks are way off. I run a Ryzen 1700x and a RX 480 8gb. On 1080p with highest settings I average well above 100fps while playing solo and see a low of 80 fps during Public events or raids/crucible. Either toms is using bad drivers on amd hardware or they are just bias as usual towards nvidia.

388.00 was the last public version when all the benchs were done.

We always try to find some demanding areas for the benchmark sequence. Of course (and like you), our RX480 show better results - like all the others GPUs, so the final ranking doesn't change globally - in some places

Well, they apparently weren't even using the latest NVidia drivers that gained 34 to 53%, so hardly biased towards NVidia.

Maybe they used older AMD drivers too?

Do you actually have PROOF that Tomshardware is "biased" towards NVidia? Seriously, please link the PROOF.

First:
Why is CPU utilisation only given as a total percentage?
I'm far more interested in how the game make use the available threads.
There's quite a difference if the game runs in two threads at 100% load or if it runs in eight threads á 25% load...

Second:
I'd like to see the performance of GeForce GTX 1050Ti, which right now seems to be the "best buy", rather than the Radeon RX 470, which is known to be pretty much the same as 570.

I think you'll be happy with our next game review

I got the game its just another shooter without a purpose.. pretty scenery, done a couple of missions ya get a few guns and ammo which runs almost out on each mission and the missions are solo and boring..

 

[dalauder]

Is it me, or does this game not look any better than Skyrim?

Console port?
