Everyone is so fast to rag on Nvidia physx, but Mafia 2 had great physx effects and was actually implemented fairly well. Smoke, clothing, and debris are all noticeably better on Mafia 2 than Mafia 3. This video proves that. Mafia 3 obviously has higher poly counts and makes heavy use of DoF than Mafia 2, but other than that the graphics aren't much better and the graphical effects are WORSE than Mafia 2.
Bet those Titan XP buyers are feeling like real fools now. Can't even beat an RX 480 in a modern AAA game.
yes, before PS4 crap like this did not happen, Mafia 3 is a regression compared to the 2 in almost every way, even graphics, we had shitty ports and some games where dumbed down, yeah, but this?!

And to make things worse, devs on pc are now wasting time on DX12 marketing, instead of making better games.
The PC gaming industry is going down the toilet, and all this started when AMD signed a pact with the devil, like it or not.

No it is not. Only from a pc perspective, maybe. Pc folks were especting the same mafia1/2 experience.The game seems like a massive downgrade compared to Mafia 2. I hope anybody who bought this asks for a refund because the publishers need a wake up call - you can't just release garbage like this and expect consumers to happily hand over their money and be content with a broken and unoptimised game.
Allow me to post a couple of custom gameplay benchmarks I did, for anyone interested.
They are 12 mins runs, of the Haitian mission.
Mafia III 1920x1080 High GTX 970 @1.5Ghz Core i5 2500k @4.8GHz
- 44 fps
Mafia III 1920x1080 High 7950 @1.1Ghz CORE i7-860 @4GHz
- 30 fps
Son, I'm disappoint.
I mean look at the 7950's frametimes. Appalling!
While the 970 is much better. It may have only 50% better framerate, but it was a hell lot smoother.
FLA Calculator reported 5 times more stuttering. For a system that managed Doom Ultra 1080p, at 60fps, that's unacceptable. The problem is not the video ram, since both systems used a little above 2GBs.
Here's hoping they fix it soon, because it is really interesting as a game and it's a real pity.
well apples and oranges when compared could also be disappointing... just saying.
It's not apples and oranges.
It's the same game on the same settings and the gpu usage is maxed out in both systems. It wouldn't be any different if both were run on the 2500k for example.

then why not run both cards on the same platform?
A 4.8 2500k vs a 4.0 870. Sure. They are completely the same.
Honestly, that's not even close to the same performance.
Optimal/more or less maxxed out settings on this Strix 1070 and 5930K is around 45FPS at 1200p, occasionally pushing past 50FPS. Graphics are PS3 era at best. Astonishing how poor this looks at the end of 2K Games.
FTFY. Like my version better. This company needs to die so someone else can come in and make games for PC that don't SUUUUUCK!!!
