This game really does look amazing. My 7970 lightning gets anywhere from 20-60 fps (with v-sync enabled) at 2560 x 1440. Smoke and haze are killers of performance in this game.

How much, if at all, would a 4gb 670 benefit over a 2gb at 25x14?

none in this game. plus a single 670 cant play games at settings that need more than 2gb of vram.

Using SLI 4gb 770s @ 2560x1600 with 2x SSAA it is using ~ 1.5 GB of vram.

Physx seems nice, but you basicly need a Titan to enjoy it? Even with a GTX780 it's turned off at the highest playable settings...

is there any reason why on my rig (in signature) using the latest nvidia drivers the benchmark says that tessellation is not supported?

EDIT: I noticed that the game started as DX9, now I switched to DX11 and I maxed out tessellation.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much, if any, impact having my GTS 250 for dedicated PhysX, paired with a vanilla gtx 680, has on the performance of this game. I remember doing a pretty thorough comparison and write up on using a gtx 460, instead of the GTX 680, and the dedicated card making about a 10-15 fps difference.

you can clean up newly released games in the FS section right now. I have jumped on nearly all the newest games and its come out to be about 8 bucks a piece. 10 bucks is usually my limit unless I am really desperate.

I'll have to head over to FS. Game looks like a lot of fun.
