Big Boss Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yo ambar, Intencity has the game in stock... Got it shipped. Completely lost all interest in the game thanks to delay. You got it? How is it on your PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Started playing last night. The PC version looks and plays great but there are performance issues on my rig with everything set to Ultra. Setting it to High gives an acceptable performance. There are still framerate hiccups and short pauses during driving. It's strange because Skyrim (which is much better looking and bigger in scale than this game) runs fine with everything maxed. I'm using a combination of the 360 controller (for the driving) and KB+Mouse for shooting. Works fine. As for the gameplay, it's similar to SR2. There are more RPG elements and unlockable skills and abilities this time. Driving somehow feels a little stiff compared to the previous games. I only played for a couple of hours, out of which around 40 minutes were spent in the intro missions, so I can't say much about the 'fun' element. Although I did get into a lot of random fights with gangs and cops. EDIT: There was a patch yesterday for the PC version which supposedly improves the DX 10/11 performance. Haven't tested it yet though. Edited November 24, 2011 by Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Graphics are set to lil medium-low to get more frame-rates ...There are major frame-rate issues in the game :| Thought so. Because they are looking like sh*t compared to PS3 version. Now about the game, its fun, but unpolished. In one mission the NPC whom I had to escort just froze with God mode on him. I had to crash a car into him to wake him and continue the mission There are places were my bike got stuck in the road, it feels rushed. The game is silky smooth irrespective of tons of explosions and mayhem. The graphics are much more improved over SR2, which was like San Andreas. This one is more closer to GTA 4, but GTA 4 is better. But the cloth and hair physics are much better than GTA 4. The car damage and modelling is also improved compared to SR2, which had sh*t looking cars. The city feels more bigger and larger. The vehicle handling is great, it varies for different cars but is very tight, just what you want in such kind of game. The gun play is above average, and the missions are very varied and fun. There a bunch of new enemy types, which makes the game more interesting. Overall, its a fun game and gives you what is expected from Saints Row series. I even flew a plane and its handling was good. Crashed it in a tower lol. Edited November 25, 2011 by ambar_hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Saints Row: The Third PC Performance Analysis Saints Row: The Third is a glorified technical mess. We’ve encountered some graphical glitches right from the start. Thankfully, though, those glitches can be easily fixed. So, if you are encountering red dots in DX11/10 mode, you’ll have to set both AA and AF – in Nvidia’s Control Panel – to ‘Application Controlled Mode’. If, on the other hand, you’re encountering some awful black character textures in DX9 mode, all you have to do is set the Negative LOD Bias setting – again in Nvidia’s Control Panel – to ‘Allow’. These settings are essential so make sure you’ve made those changes to Saints Row: The Third’s profile before running the game. Saints Row: The Third’s game engine is seriously bugged and doesn’t scale well with SLI systems, even though Volition stated that the game will be SLI-Ready. In both DX10 and DX9 modes, our GPU usage was hovering around 40-70% at 1080p with max settings. The funny thing here is that our performance was not affected by our settings or resolution. GPU usage remained the same even when we dropped our resolution to 720p. Such a behavior hints to a possible CPU limitation. Therefore, we monitored our CPU usage and to our surprise, our Q9650 was not stressed at all. As we can see, the game scales well to a quad-core but doesn’t take advantage of it. Furthermore, when we tried to run the game with a simulated dual-core system, we didn’t notice any performance hit at all. This clearly indicates that Saints Row: The Third was developed with dual-cores in mind. Owners of dual-core CPUs won’t encounter any performance limitation with Saints Row: The Third, which is a nice surprise since GTA 4 required a quad-core for optimal gaming. .Guys how to use Two cores with SR3 ?..I have a Quad core :| Things, however, are a bit messed up when it comes to the GPU. As we said earlier, SLI scaling is mediocre. On top of that, there is major stuttering, when turning the camera in towns, which makes the game unplayable. This stuttering effect is present in both DX10 and DX9 and when SLI is enabled. To avoid any SLI incompatibilities, we’ve also run the game in Single GPU mode. To our surprise, the micro-stuttering effect was also present in the DX9 mode – although it was not as annoying as before. In addition, our GPU usage was not increased as it should, since we were running the game with only one of our GPU cores. And here comes the interesting part. The DX10 mode – in Single GPU mode – is not plagued by all the aforementioned issues. As a result of that, the game performed just as we’d thought it would, and we didn’t encounter any micro-stuttering or low GPU usage. Our main GPU core was used at its fullest (98% in the same places where we were having a mere 60% GPU usage in DX9 mode) but the game suffered from low performance as a single GTX275 can’t run Saints Row: The Third at 1080p with max settings. In other words, Saints Row: The Third’s DX10 mode is great and performs as it should be with single graphics cards. Gameplay wise, Saints Row: The Third is awesome and full of great scenes. Most importantly though is that Saints Row: The Third is fun. It’s really fun to play and most gamers will enjoy it. Well… at least if they can get it working. Right now though, we strongly advise those with similar systems to wait until Volition fixes it. Those of you with Nvidia’s single high-end cards can go ahead and grab it. And those with AMD/ATI cards can wait patiently for some new drivers and future patches that might fix its low performance. We’ve contacted both Nvidia and Volition as there is something really wrong with Saints Row: The Third’s game engine. Let’s hope that the developers will fix it because right now, Saints Row: The Third is a glorified technical mess. Bellow you can see the abnormal behavior of Saints Row: The Third in action. On the left we have the DX10 mode in Single GPU Mode and on the left the DX9 mode in Single GPU Mode at the same settings. For your interest, the game ran better under DX10 SR3 Engine sucks....

Tyler Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^^ While the game is running, open task manager, right-click on the exe and click on Set Affinity. From here you can set the number of cores the application uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 PC version performance is seriously all over the place. Not having fun at all :| Random stutters, lock ups, inconsistent frame rate (high 60s, low 20s) and lots of graphical glitches... even with most of the options turned down. Should've gone for the console version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
