yea i forgot to clarify, its from the 360 version, a horrible port when you compare the 6-7 years old 360 version of da:o that looked so much better.

Yup, even on the PC version I've seen some scenes where DA2 looked better. I guess Frostbite just isn't built for expansive open worlds. I mean, even the largest BF3/4 map is a fraction of the size of the Hinterlands or Mire. It does have some very nice specular/shader effects though, as Inter rightly said, sometimes it's just insanity onscreen and you can't even see what you're doing because of all the smoke, flame, ice, lightning and various other particles.

The arishok was like a fundamentalist Muslim trapped amongst the infidel, which caused him to snap and declare a Jihad. Bull went undercover in human lands and eventually started to like it, and pretty much stopped praying to Allah.

It's not broken as such, just a shitty console port. Terrible, inconsistent performance, horrible console-centric controls and UI.

Ah..it's a romance quest. I haven't done it and the guide doesn't specifically say where this merchant is, only the general location.

How did you do it?

Took some maxed out screenshots (although 2X MSAA) @ 1920x1200 http://patukka.imgur.com/
May include minor spoilers.
Really enjoying this game, I just hope they fix that banter issue soon.

@Inter: In my opinion both is bad. Worse looking but more frames....plz not! Better looking but a fucking bad performance....plz not!
And besides I think Witcher 3 will have lots of popups. Amazing graphics with a world bigger than most peoples assholes is difficult to combine.
But dont get me wrong. I hope Witcher 3 will be fucking fucking amazing. Looking forward to it.

Lol as you say boss as you say. But dont come in the Witcher 3 thread whining about graphics and/or performance thank you! Like all of you are whining here.
All I can say is: good hardware, good graphics, good performance regarding Dragon Age Inquisition. That's what it's supposed to be with next-gen.

I think it looks pretty nice. Even really nice in some places. It IS very hard on the PC though. I get a constant 60fps at 1080p all settings maxed out including 4xMSAA, or 2560x1440 all maxed out except shadows on high, post processing on high, no MSAA. Barely. GPU utilization can rise up to 95~ish percent on both cards at those settings in some heavily forested areas, so it's pretty close to dropping. SLI utilization is great, though there's a bit of glitchiness with the odd flashing texture and white solid smoke in a few areas. A shame, but I'd rather have that then throw me frames out the door by disabling SLI. There are a few areas where the CPU gets hit HARD due to amount of NPC's, like redcliffe village where I saw all the way down to 30'ish FPS at a certain point, generally around 40-60. Dropping mesh detail to medium gets me back to 60fps, but meh, I'd rather have full mesh detail since it runs fine elsewhere.
2500K @ 5.3ghz
GTX 970 SLI @ 1526/8000
8gb DDR3 2133mhz
For settings, the only one that seems to alleviate CPU stress considerably is mesh quality. All the other settings are more GPU-oriented. The best settings to drop to reduce GPU load are shadows ( gives blurrier shadows ), post-processing ( during cinematics, ultra to high makes a huge difference in FPS ), HBAO quality ( flatter lighting at lower settings ), and of course MSAA. Vegetation quality ( reduces vegetation coverage and range ) and tessellation quality ( reduces tessellation range ) can give good returns, but they impact the visuals quite dramatically as well IMO. Effects quality on medium gets rid of a lot of ambient smoke which can give a bunch of FPS in a specific areas. The other settings don't seem to make much difference to performance.
For my girlfriend's rig:
3670K @ 4.4ghz
GTX 670 4GB @ stock
8GB DDR3 1333mhz
Performance is quite dismal. I've locked her FPS to 30 so it isn't all over the place and frame delivery is steady and judder-free. She's on max settings except no MSAA and post-processing on high and drops below 30fps occasionally due to both CPU limit ( NPC's ) and GPU limit ( dense foliage ).
As for the game, I'm enjoying it. There's not a lot of tactics involved and my NPC's are on autopilot, but it's good fun non-the-less.

Yup and Mesh detail is tied to hair quality too, so lowering that below "High" makes hair look like horrible plastic wigs  I'm definitely thinking there's some kind of CPU bottleneck in those areas you talk about, because the framerate plummets but GPU utilisation is still fairly low. I mean, don't get me wrong: it DOES look nice in places, I just don't think its looks justify its cost :\
Thanks for the feedback on various settings though, it's appreciated

On Ultra "preset" I can get anywhere from 34-60 at 1080. Though there are many areas, such as the Mire, deep in Hinterlands or Redcliffe, where framerate drops down to mid 40s and stays there - which matches up with all the major benchmark sites, putting the 780 as "44 average" Lowering preset to "High" is absolutely no different, same drops, same locations. Something definitely screwy somewhere. Right now I've just left it on "High" with PP on Ultra for the better DoF in cutscenes (which are 30 capped anyhow, so performance doesn't matter there) - I did play on Ultra with a user cap of 45 but it was a bit glitchy at times, especially during heavy combat.

Likewise I'm just playing it as I would any other controller-based hack'n'slash, I've left my team to do their own thing since the "tactical cam" is horseshit, and I concentrate on doing my own thing. The AI tactics are sorely lacking though, which is something I don't understand. There's no real way to configure how your team fight, just a couple of preset options for potion use.. it's really limiting. I do like the atmosphere though and the exploration aspect is refreshing considering DA2.

Unlocking the cutscene FPS really clears up the motion desync stutter nicely though. With the 30fps lock in place, animations and camera pans can get really jerky. It even helps when the game is locked to 30fps with an outside source like MSI Afterburner or NV CP.

I did run with unlocked cutscenes but they're *so* system rapey (even 30fp can peak in the 90s sometimes) I locked them again. I hadn't thought about unlocking the simrate and then capping framerate to 30 manually. Even running at 60, there are plenty of 30fps animations that look really out of place though .. especially visible in opening doors, which judder and stutter.

Did you try with PP on high? That should put your cutscene FPS in the same range as other gameplay in my experience. I also found that if I want to cap FPS to 30 externally, I have to use both the 1/2 refresh rate vsync setting in NVidia Inspector, as well as the 30fps MSI Afterburner lock. If either is missing, frame delivery is juddery. It's better not to enable adaptive tear control because that plus MSI Afterburner lock caused constant tearing.

So why isnt there still a patch for that? Damn assholes working for weeks on a more or less small patch. Assassins Creed though gets a patch with hundreds of fixes? Yes more needed but still, fast!

Imo the controller is the only way to play this game. I sometimes use the tactical cam but the sad truth is that the tactical elements are a joke.In fact you can only tweak the use of the abilities by the AI controlled party members but it's useless. Not that DA: O was a tactical combat masterpiece but it still felt way more tactical.
I have no major problems with the performance (playing on medium ofc) but I had a couple of crashes and freezes especially in the loading screen when the game connects to the servers. If FIFA 15 had the same problems I would be sure that the crashes/freezes are protection related. The fact though is that both Lords Of The Fallen and DA: I have too many weird issues.

I've had to cap framerate at 45 and even that isn't 100% sustainable in some areas, it's shockingly bad considering how the game looks (IMOIMOIMO) Lowering settings doesn't help either, it's like some areas are so bad that they're just fundamentally fucked up at the code level. This is a 30fps game through and through, as evidenced by the locked cutscenes (which RAPE your system too, even at 30fps they can often take insane GPU utilisation, anywhere from 75-95) and various 30fps animations, the fact that they "allow" it to run higher is just a joke as the hardware required for that is nuts. You're seriously looking at multiple high class GPUs. Single 780/780ti? Nope.
You will fucking go mad I assure you....the performance will be fucking worse!
