TRESSFX Hair Quality

[Maddo03]

This causes my game to run at about 5fps. I'm running an i7 930 & a GTX 560Ti.
Is my PC simply not good enough, or is this setting possibly broken?

3-Way SLI GTX 680 with 3930k @ 4.2ghz TressFX on:

Min: 95.3
Max: 159.5
Avg: 126.5

Hair looks good when its in gameplay, Cutscenes it doesnt seem to know what to do with itself

I'm running a 660Ti and TresFX is on using Nvidia's latest drivers not beta. I'm not getting a FPS drop its running fine and the hair is amazing. So maybe its his card and drier support where as on mine I'm not having any issues with TresFX.

SAME! gtx 690 can handle this game very well. mine crashed. unable to recover. so restard computer and all good. this has worked for me. Turn off vertical sync. turn off exclusive full screen and turn off tesselation. I wouldnt turn AA any hihgher than X2 as you dont need it.

Holy crap yeah! After installing 314.14 and turning off tessellation, I can keep TressFx on and everything else totally maxed and I'm getting 70+ FPS all the time.

The hair looks AMAZING now.

Edit: I'm even able to record in 1080 and staying above 70 FPS.

Yup, my experience too.

Maybe some people aren't seeing the effect the way it's meant to be seen? It's not a gimmick. It adds something special to the game.

TressFX is AMD tech, you need an AMD car to run TressFX properly. Nvidia owners are left out in the cold (for now) on this one. This is Nvidia TWIMTB in reverse :)

Totally incorrect. TressFX uses DirectCompute which Nvidia supports. TressFX is working perfectly for me. I can give video proof.

GTX660Ti here.With tressfx i can run it probably 45 fps one moment then the next if i turn the camera and look anywhere else it can dip down to 30-35 fps with a short milisecond freeze while turning the camera and at hard cases it can fall down to like 20 fps.Its either Nvidia must start supporting this since everyone can use it or Eidos must really fix performance with it big time.

i can see tress fx working shiny hair all the strands have there own physics im on nvidia looks awesome pity there isnt physx but you cant have it all i guess

TRESSFx is simply a marketing ploy guys. It is a DirectCompute API call, which works on any DirectX 11 GFX card.

A marketing ploy?
...Did you even make a statement to back-up your assertion? Because from what I read your supporting statement only repeated what AMD had already stated: that it works on any DirectX 11 GFX card.

I've noticed this, which is why I am a bit skeptical of the Nvidia users claiming perfect FPS with TressFX on.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I would like to see one of these rumoured "perfect FPS on ultimate" Nvidia systems for myself. I suspect that it's either people with multiple GTX680s or better, or the same lunatics that can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps.

Forget about the frame drops; it lacks volume, flickers and is terribly animated. Normal hair looks way better.

This. The occasional flickering really kills it.

I have GTX570 and TressFX worked perfectly until the third chapter. Now my framerate with it is at 5, it worked before and suddenly stopped so it must be some kind of BUG. I installed the new BETA drivers too. Any solutions?

Gotta say its nice to see nvidia take a hit for a change.
And those hair effects are gorgeous I keep staring o.O even better eyecandy than Alice madness returns hair. lol
