Your GPUs?

[SoxFan01605]

I'm running a GTX 580 (3GB) and am getting mostly 60FPS with VSync (through Nvidia Control Panel) and mostly max setting (I have AA at 4). I'm trying to find an SLI profile that works so I can make use of my second card and hopefully get increased stability during transitions.

No, its not.

I'm running AA at 4/16 or 8/8...see if those work for you.

With a core i7 as the recommended CPU requirement, I guess I'll just agree to disagree.

There was a lot of pre-release talk of people complaining that it wasn't i5, when the reqirements were first announced.

Yeah, that could be the case. When I looked at the load on my GPU for 2K15, I don't think it went much past 70% or so, so it's not exactly stressing out my card.

I know in the past it was that way. I remember I was able to stretch my old PC with an 8800GT through 2K12 (I think...might have been 2K11) with solid performance just because I had a good processor.

I actually agree about the last part. I didn't buy a console for a long time when I read up on the chip powering both. It's a smoke and mirrors job. System on a chip sharing resources. And it's not even state of the art components. It's main strength is that it is low power and runs cool. It will do 1080 fine, but not with even the bells and whistles of even a 70 level card. I really was underwhelmed the more I read up on it. It's really the RAM that drives these consoles. And that gets to the heart of the porting issue. To bring it over as a proper PC title, it has to be rewritten for traditional PC architecture. Not this new wonder of fakery and system resource sharing. I'm not trying to troll, but AMD's system on a chip is barely better than Intel's integrated graphics.

I have dual core 3.0 Ghz and Ati Radeon 1gb 4650 and 2GB of RAM...currently downloading to see if I can run it...Pretty sure I'd have to OC my gfx card to make it run properly with everything on low.

Please stop if you have no idea what you are talking about. A i7 says nothing. Most i5s are better than older i7s. SystemRequirements are bullsh1t and are mostly made by people who are Console-Peasants.
I have a i5-4570 and my CPU is nowhere near full load, but my GPU is. So its clearly GPU bottlenecked.
