    Gtx 580 Sli not enough?

    I am getting around 50 fps but when I run or move forward its like it does it in small stages likes it is juddering forward. I also get fram rate drop to 25-35 when firing and it kicks off. Any ideas~? I am runnin gon very high and not ultra which is even worse. I thought my rig would find this game easy.

    i5
    4.5ghz
    gtx580 sli
    ssd
    Latest Beta drivers

    Any thoughts? is it just bad optomising on ubi's front?

    Also game always crashes when i go into the menu says cannot connect when i go back in to the game the textures are missing and I have to restart. Severs busy i guess?

    Same issue

    GTX 580 sli Asus DCUII
    i7 960 @ 3.6 ghz

    Can run it on ultra, but once i enter a area with more then 2 NPC's in it, it just plummits to oblivion.

    Have to play at recommended settings (high/veryhigh) and disable SSOA, cant even run HBOA without it going to under 30 fps...
    it looks good thou on those settings but i feel like i should be able to run it on ultra, Especially with 580 sli setup.

    Have the Beta driver. and tbh it doesnt make any diff for me with or without the beta driver

    My father runs this game with a 2ghz processor and an old 1gb video card. His game runs better than mine on an i7 2600k 3+ghz and gtx 580 overclocked sli's. Mind boggling and disappointing.

    SLI GTX 580s maybe are not enough on this game if you set the settings to ultra. You have to think that the 580s are now becoming obsolete (http://www.overclock.net/t/1298086/w...be-outdated/20). The card is getting very old. We're on the last of the 600 series & soon Nvidia will take a leap into the 700 series. If you want to run this game flawlessly at ultra setting then maybe get rid of those very old 580s.

    Since the game supports directx 11, i assume it also supports tessellation. Tessellation cost alot of FPS and i don't know how well the GTX 580 can handle this feature and other directx 11 features. My old hd 5850 was and is still a good card, but in directx 11 it sucks, you will get unplayable fps.

    So if the GTX 580 doesn't handle directx 11 well, that would mean that you can put 3 GTX 580 in your computer, but you will still get low fps. If it is a good directx 11 card, then maybe SLI isn't working properly?

    I hope u just trolling... I'm using 580's SLI too but I am not so impressed and I find it hard to believe that you need more than sli 580's to run on my max with high fps.
    This game is a console ports and they are always worse than pc exclusive games.

    Don't count on it soon. The 700 series will be available sometime around early spring next year (according to some reliable sources). I know it's hard to swallow but there's been some discussions on the 500 series (particularly at overclock.net) - about it getting obsolete. It's power hungry & heats up higher than the 600 series. Some latest games now are also graphic hungry making the very old 500 series work more & trottle.
