PS4 vs PC Performance/Graphics

[Rimzo Sky]

Now I have been playing Shadow of Mordor on PC for around 20 hours, I run the game on the very high preset but with medium textures as I only have a 2gb GDDR5 card, I could run the game with high textures but it would sometimes cause drops/stuttering when I moved the camera quickly and the 2gb VRAM wasn't enough to load the textures in.

Anyway I went to my friends house today and he had bought the game on PS4, and I was astounded to find that the PS4 version looks better than the settings I currently play on (Very High except for Medium Textures). Also it felt VERY smooth even though it was locked to 30 FPS (Vsync).

I did a bit of research and the PS4 is apparently using High textures (The 3gb one according to the Eurogamer Article and Digital Foundry) so unless you have a 3gb card/ have enough Vram to load in the 3gb textures without drops the PS4 version will look better. The only way to make the game look better than the PS4 version is to use the 6gb HD pack.

Also why does 30FPS Vsynced on the PS4 feel so damn smooth? I tried locking my FPS to 30 and it felt like crap on PC.

TL;DR:

Unfortunately that means if you have a 2gb GDDR5 card and are using medium textures, your game will 'look' worse than the PS4 version. PC still retains the 60fps advantage however, but somehow the PS4 version feels very smooth and it doesnt feel terrible like 30fps on PC.

shadow of morder plays at 60FPS unlocked at high settings..as for imput latency what a load of tosh..the ps4 uses wireless controlor which is worse i am guessing..you really do need to read up on stuff before you post..or better still.find a PS4 and a copy of morder and play it..it might surprise you

You won't be saying that in one years time when PC blasts past the next gen consoles in ability. Problem is having to upgrade your PC. It gets costly very quickly.

your missing my point..you already have super powerfull pc's i have one i know what it can do...but as can be seen all new games are made and optimised for consoles..and the pc gets unoptimised ports.....so many problems with pc games now such as crashing freezing,save game problems its just getting worse and worse..i love my pc but only play total war games on it now..games such as shadow of morder play and look great on the PS4 and you don't get any of the problems.
I will only buy games like this for the PS4 now as i just want to play without the hassle of weather its going to run ok or not.

Stop it, you're a console player. Listen, PC games always had problems such as crashing, freezing, etc, that always happens when a new game comes out, and there's multiple ways to fix it. I think you should just sell your PC and stick to your PS4.

Enable per-object motion blur, it's most likely the reason why it looks smoother on PS4. And don't listen to those "uugh i always disable motion blur because all the cool kids do it", try it for yourself and decide.

its not the fact that mid range pc's beat consoles ragarding hardware its the fact that the console is better optimised for new games than pc's are..there is no point having better hardware in the pc when games play better on the PS4..i have realised this and now only buy PS4 games..other than total war games.

Except they're not, how is a game better optimized on consoles when they run at 30 fps while the PC version runs at 60(or more depending on your system)?

I have played ME:SoM on PS4 and will be doing a side by side comparison...just for fun.
How does one monitor fps on a PS4?

Hello gamers. I want to show you my amazing Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor 1080p gameplay on my single Ge Force GTS 450 card.You have fps counter in left corner. I will present now to entire community my custom settings for 1 GB gpu-s and incredible hidden performance of 5 years old low end Fermi gpu. Unique GTS 450 gameplay video on entire internet.Watch my amazing 1080p gameplay on 5 years old PC. My pc specifications are writen below video. Sixteeen thousands watchers already on channel.

I am playing much better with my hacked driver. NVidia is lying i had turn on medium textures they are recommending 2 gb vram or more just pure marketing and fraud in order to sell expensive cards game is not using not even entire 1 gb.Checked in msi afterburner.


Look at this incredible performance on 5 years old pc and worthless card i am playing latest games very nice with improved driver,shame on you NVidia. Keep in mind that i have 4 to 5 more avg frames without Bandicam recording.Watch people cheap gaming thats joy and charm to play latest next gen games very nice on old pc,and not to invest thousands euros instead like many brainwashed pc gamers and to be milked over and over again every year by NGreedia

Gamers,you dont need ultra expensive high end card to enjoy in latest games,on mainstream 1080p. Dont fall on marketing tricks and software manipulations,only single 120-180 eur card is profitable in long term fps/dollar.

Shame on you NVidia frauders and manipulators!!!

According to this article, while the texture detail might be set to high on the PS4, the other settings are not. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-shadow-of-mordor-face-off

The PS4 and Xbone run it at 30FPS, capped, vsync. There you go. The blue glowing eye effect reportedly causes the framerate to drop.

If you're getting a decent framerate, there's no reason to have motion blur on. Motion blur is bad because it reduces detail.

Set one to 60FPS with motion blur, and the other to 60FPS without motion blur. Which has more detail? There you go.

This is a fact, it's not opinion. Motion blur is undesirable, and it only exists to make low framerates look smoother.

By all accounts, it runs at less than 60FPS the majority of the time.

Motion blur will make the game feel smoother, which is what OP is complaining about, that the console version is smoother despite having lower FPS. TRY motion blur before listening to the mass of people who say it's bad. Get your own opinion.

I have a 2GB 670GTX and play on high textures with 74-100FPS 99% of the time. PS4 does not look or run better than my PC, it's absolutely not possible due to the specs of the PS4.

Actually the PS4 is capable of running the High Texture pack with ease, it has 8gb of Shared GDDR5 Memory and can easily allocate 3gb to textures. It won't run at 60 fps but it will still 'look' as good as PC High settings albeit running at a motion blurred, vsynced 30 fps.

So no the PS4 wont run better than your PC, but it can compete on looks.

Motion blur sucks, for this game I'll stick to 100FPS without motion blur. I specifically bought a 144hz monitor with blur reduction to eliminate as much blur as possible. LCDs have inherent blur, the human eye has inherent blur. The last thing I need is artifical blur being added when hardware flaws introduce blur.

Maybe you should get a clue, my opinion is fine.
