An i3 + 750Ti not even at the settings of Xbone was dropping to 13fps so there was no way a side by side faceoff would be done using that PC hence why they had no choice but use a better PC to try and get a match or better the console version.The i3+750Ti they used had to have settings lowered ( making it look worse than Xbone version ) to run at 30fps.

“The Xbox One version of the game was clearly optimised to operate at its best on a closed platform. The closest match requires a meaty system to get the job done – ♦ an i5 quad with something along the lines of a GTX 960 to hit 1080p30 on high settings ♦”

Just pointing out that DF uses what they need in faceoff factors and doesn’t always use their budget PC ( clearly shown many times )

blah blah blah already read it before you posted. Its hardly a face off with the xbox. Its basically a port report saying what graphical settings have increased and what extra stuff you can expect and showing different hardware specs to show what best makes the game run at.

Sure the i3+750Ti faired worse than the xbox but the PC also doesnt drop to 1440×1080 and you cant actually turn enough effects off on the PC version to match the xbox

Remember when I showed on this thread that NOT all DF faceoffs use what you stated i3+750Ti for console comparisions ( shown before ) and that 18 days ago I stated the following…..

“ALSO I KNOW 100% that Digital Foundry will use an “Intel i7 5820k clocked at 4.4GHz plus 16GB of DDR4 Ram and an Nvidia GTX 780” on Rise of the Tomb Raider FACEOFF. ( See if I was correct in a few weeks time )”….

Well the findings are in..I was correct☺..

They ( DF ) used the exact PC specs I posted 18 days ago to you AND now DF has shown WHY they didn’t use their i3+750Ti….Here is a copy n paste from DF….

•*•First and foremost, the venerable DF budget PC with an i3 processor and GTX 750 Ti finally met its match with Rise of the Tomb Raider. Running with settings similar to Xbox One, we found that testing areas saw the game turn in frame-rates between 13 and 25fps. In comparison, the AMD
test featuring an R7 360 fared even worse with performance numbers dropping all the way into the single digits at these settings.

The game is quite scalable, so it becomes possible to achieve more playable frame-rates by dialling back the more demanding settings, BUT it’s important to note these limitations. This is one of the few cases where our budget PC FAILED to get close to console performance levels•*•

See what I was stating all along was 100% correct and that the DF budget i3 & 750Ti CANNOT match all console games hence why they are using a more meaty PC spec for some faceoffs. Now we have that out the way and it’s 100% proven we can now realise WHY DF are using better PCs than an i3 & 750Ti in some faceoffs.

Ok, SUCCESSFULLY introduced it

We have our research teams

hahaha well there no 4K monitors that can display 120 fps yet anyway i dont think. all 60hz max till the new ones release i think.

From the people ive spoke to just going to 1440p has a significant visual impact over 1080p. It just looks better, then IPS makes it look even better than TN panels, 10bit colour makes it even better, now HDR should make it look even better. needs quite a high nit rating though and ton of those monitors are releasing this year.

Gaming at 1080/30/60 is enough. Anything more is just nice, but not really necessary unless you like by the PC fanboys logic: Example.. When games run at 30fps they smash console players with 1080p 60fps, when a game then runs 1080p 60fps they smash with 4k 120+fps.

well all i can say is its a good job they didnt put the 980Ti in a performance test and managed to unlock the framerate as 160+ fps would of made the ps4 look like bargain bin trash

i was talking about the pc to ps4 one because i didnt even look at that video tbh

PS4 can play VR using PS-VR, can you use a 750 TI for VR…Nope so times are changing, but FACT is Digital Foundry also used more than a 750TI system in PS4 FACEOFFs as shown by Trine 3 using a GTX 980TI system. Which also showed *performance comparison* for the Frame-Rate Testing, clealry explained by DF themselves lol

Just because the video doesn’t shown two platforms running side by side doesn’t mean it’s not a performance comparison video lol
