P.S You can use 2xMSAA+FXAA for ~60fps on High Shadows (to compensate VRAM Usage but better performance since PCSS is killing FPS as hell) if you really want, its same thing as in Unity.

Check out my Fallout 4 comparison on same specs

This is good, I've got almost the same system, 60FPS on maxed out settings= happy days.

Benchmarks without day 1 patch or drivers =! benchmarks.

Nvidia will release its new driver soon,so the perfomance will be better

Then you can expect ATLEAST this. It's not hard to think about it.

+ Drivers never improve performance 100%. You can argue about that but 99% people who had problems with Fallout 4 they had it because they are downloading new drivers without thinking. So hoping that drivers will improve performance is wrong. It's proven many many times especially in AAA games.

I have smooth BO3 and Fallout 4 experiance with 60+ fps and no shuttering whatsoever on Battlefront drivers while everyone complained about bad optimization.. so yeah thats about that.

Performance increase..sure, 2-3 fps and nothing more. It's Ubisoft. With all patches they managed to increase maybe 10fps on same rig as mine comparing to original release.

Uninformed. Typical pirate.

Except they do.

Also AMD already released the new driver with Syndicate optimizations.

"Typical pirate" say guy who have only 677 games. Thats not much you know ? And I definitely use more steam accounts due to group which I'm working with on youtube and many websites. Pretty well informed though.

You will see "improvement" with drivers, aswel as performance on AMD new released drivers which I've done tests already on 390x and its -+5 performance on some places ASWEL. And that "except they do" I explained about previous games where performance go down and then you wait for Day 1 patch to get same performance back most of the time. If you are really interested and arguing check out then how I'm playing Fallout 4 at 1440p maxed out with all crap on gtx970 or smooth gameplay of Black Ops 3 while all other benchmarks will show lower FPS due to their "most recent drivers".

Typical naive people who get tricked by marketing every time.

"Recommended experiance for Fallout 4 1440p = 980+" - Oh lets buy 980 for this game..
"Recommended CPU for Phantom Pain i7 4790k" - Oh lets but that cpu. While game works on amd fx6300 with 60+fps.

So open your eyes, and test before you talk.

As usually unsubbed from thread, whoever find this helpful I'm happy, otherwise feel free to argue but once when drivers are released pm me to argue about "performance improvement"
