The situation is very strange indeed. Any idea what's currently making Batman + SS3 so hard to crack? Asking in the idea that you somehow managed to find some kind of info on sites like ALI213/3DM.

Had a feeling about it using LAA, game uses 2.1 - 2.2 GB of RAM as far as I can tell from the task manager. 
(Then again I use rather high settings, I imagine SSAA would see another bump in this too but I don't use it, MSAA + FXAA works quite well as is here.)

| Quote: | The decision between using DX9 and 11 is very complex and advanced topic. One part of it consisting of the fact that Microsoft has never retrofitted DX10+ onto WinXP, which was a big mistake and a great hurdle for DX10 and DX11 adoption. But that's just one part. There's a lot to be said about all this situation, but the gist is that DX9 is still the best choice.
Anyway, the perf problems some people are seeing are mostly connected to the fact that drivers are not yet tuned for the game. I know that for outsiders it might seem simple - there's an API and the game should code to the API and everything should work fine and dandy. Yeah, right. In 1990, on OpenGL, maybe. Today, with DirectX which is largely underspecified, has no serious conformance tests, and with drivers competing to be faster than "the other manufacturer" it is very, very messy. Actually it's fascinating how it is not actually as apparently messy as it could be.
So, fixes and optimizations for one game can screw other games. As I'm sure you've all seen more than once. Secret with some big titles appearing to have no or at least less, problems at launch is that they can afford to pretty much freeze their code months before release and wait for the IHVs to adjust their drivers, and/or to have IHVs tell them what to do to tune it for each platform. With smaller titles, it happens pretty much either last minute or post release.
And... the multi-GPU solutions, driver-forced antialiasing modes, driver-forced buffering and various other things that nV and ATI are doing in attempt to work faster or look better than the other guy seriously don't help this situation. I already wrote some things about problems with multi-GPU drivers before. Let me just say that a lot of special effects today depend on using some on-GPU data either from last frame into this one, or from one part of screen onto another. Which multi-GPU doesn't play well with, since it has to use either ARF or frame splitting. So while some extremist gamers tend to think that it's dev's fault when multi-GPU stutters or has bad performance, or visual artifacts..., in reality - multi-GPU breaks some things that naturally work on a single GPU (i.e. that you can render something into an off-screen buffer and reuse that content from frame to frame). Since the API was not intended to be used with multi GPUs, we don't get exact info on what is really going on, so this is all one big hack. And it is different between each card, config and driver.
So anyway, the situation is not as black/white as "it's game's fault" or "it's driver's fault". The reality is that devs have to talk with IHVs and for each individual issue either IHV says "can you devs please change this effect slightly so that it doesn't hit this bottleneck" or devs say "can you IHVs please change this approach in the driver so that this effect can work well". In the end we somehow meet half-way and the game works good for (almost) everyone. |

Well I've played a bit and have basically this to say:
Lately games have been either fun or not fun to play. The good games, they are fun to play. They tell a story and entertain you.
Serious Sam 3? Well it's fun to play yes, but what makes it special, it's actually a CHALLENGE to play it. In other words, you can actually die here. And this is what games have been missing lately.
Why? Because the averge console player can't find a ladder, unless it has neon lights attached to it, and anything that requires the process known is "thinking" is taboo.
So...serious sam 3 is a challenge to play. A fun challenge. Just what single player should be.
For the Motherland!

Yea, but it seems it's going to have a "limited retail release in certain regions" in the future.
