Here's What Evolve Looks Like on PC with Max Settings On

Hardcore Gamer: Throughout our time with Evolve, we’ve been playing at 60 FPS with every setting turned up to its maximum level, and the results are pretty impressive.

"FXAA is a better anti-aliasing choice for Evolve at this point in time, being that TXAA seems to add a level of blurriness to textures, especially plant life, that high-end rig owners will probably seek to avoid. "

Really? Seriously? What a joke...

FXAA is without question the absolute WORST form of Anti Aliasing and any article that says otherwise is not worth reading.

[decrypt]

Its what console developers call optimization using blur filters as AA.

[sungam3d]

Yeah...
I make it a point to turn off all 'blurring' effects.
Just makes the look tacky. I want my game to look crisp and clean with no jaggies.

If I wanted my game to look blurry I'd get hammered before hand.

[Tzuno]

They are right, Fxaa it might not be the sweetest eye candy but it makes the game look much sharper and clearer, higher than that is Vaseline on the screen, you know little about graphics. That's the difference between paying 100$ for a gpu that can play all games even on high and a 300$ one that can play with AA maxed.

[Feralkitsune]

You do know that FXAA is the one that blurs the textures, right? It's always been that way.

[abstractel]

For price/performance I go FXAA any day. It comes down to personal preference and what you can afford. I was playing with settings in Unity the other day, and FXAA in that game works the best on my 2560x1600 30 inch monitor.

FXAA blurs textures too, but isn't nearly as effective at smoothing various forms of aliasing as TXAA is.

Personally, I like an ultra clean look in my games, even if it comes at the cost of some sharpness. Usually I offset this by combining TXAA with downsampling, which counteracts some of the softening effect.

In most games TXAA is simply the best option available. Only SSAA is superior and that isn't available in every game and can impact performance to an even greater degree when using 4x SGSSAA or higher.

[MadLad]

What you should do is just downsample.
I've been choosing that over high level AA since made available.

FXAA is terrible.
Better no AA at all, in most cases.

[Feralkitsune]

at higher resolutions Aliasing becomes less of a problem anyways.

[abstractel]

In my _own_ opinion, unless you can afford MSAAx4 it really isn't that big of a difference. I'd rather take all the extra everything else that I can max out. But if I can afford to downsample 4k with Nvidia's tech on the 900 series then I'll do it but I've found most modern games these days don't handle it (980GTX,i7-4790k). Much rather take the FPS. It really comes down to being extremely anal and comparing frame to frame, and if you're like that than by all means its your choice.

Nvidia has some really good blogs on specific games and how big or how little of a difference each game's graphical features make as not every game is made the same way or look best with the same settings. Sometimes high/ultra on certain features is barely noticeable.

But it does give PC owners massive forums to argue about the tiniest pixel changes. I'm a veteran developer, I do know a bit what I am talking about. There are arguments within the office about what people feel you should focus your CPU/GPU on.

[Deadlead]

I'd ask when the hype train derailed for this game, but I don't even recall it leaving the station. I'm stunned that the guys who developed the immensely popular and critically acclaimed L4D series aren't receiving more attention. The games just released and it's barely a top 10 topic here on N4G.

[Volkama]

I didn't know it had actually released. That's how loud the hype isn't.

[starchild]

Yep, it's always drowned out by all the talk of "exclusives". It's one of the things I hate most about the gaming community.

[Volkama]

I hear that. The likes of Grey Goo deserve coverage too Imo

[Dhampir]

It's the DLC that derailed it.

Monsters $15
4 Hunters + 3 monster skin $25
weapon skins $2 each weapon
Monster skins $3 each
Over 50 skins total right now.

When the first thing you put out for a game is DLC plans, people get a little repulsed.

[BoNeSaW23]

Yes indeed. Jim Sterling said it the best.

[acekaze]

I dont understand people, People complain their DLC model is shit, monsters and hunters are payed, to compensate the fact they are giving free maps in return, the skins are totally useless, theres 0 point in buying them, their pure recolors without any use.

Now the thing i dont understand, is, most people complaining here about their DLC model, go on call of duty and battle field every year and dish out 15 dollars/euro for 4 crappy maps at a time... so how exactly is this Dlc bad? They give free maps so you can use your monsters + hunters making all dlc completly optional to have not forcing you to buy to have any advantage at all, I beg of you guys, show me Buy to play shooter, that has a better DLC model than this one because, i rather pay 15 dollars for monsters because i know they will be offering me free content also, than pay 15€ euros for 4 maps knowing they arent giving me anything for free

[InTheZoneAC]

battlefield dlc is no where near the same league as the rip off that CoD brings it's blind fanbase...

call of duty maps take recycled structures/buildings and throw them in a 10x10 map

Battlefield actually has fully detailed....battlefields with new vehicles and guns

you could probably fit every single map CoD has ever offered in one battlefield map. Tell me now why CoD has similar pricing? Their dlc packs should be $5 or less.

[acekaze]

Still Turtle Rock is giving "half" of their Dlc content for free, wich is a big part of the game, and all i see is people complaining that they wont be getting enough for their money while completly disregarding that they are getting all half of the dlc content for free, seriously i dont get people.

[windblowsagain]

Looks ok, nothing special tbh.
