The driver would just use whatever settings its been set to regardless of the game.
The driver would just use whatever settings its been set to regardless of the game.Just a silly question : In the scenario that the gpu driver in general would replace game shaders for optimized versions, how would the driver know that you changed a in game setting ?
How does the game inform the driver that different shaders are used or more shaders are used for example for shadows.
Is there some kind of directx function for that to let the driver know that image quality settings have changed ? Is the driver itself probing the shaders on the fly to see if it needs to use different shaders ?
I noticed that some games when applying graphic changes, need to almost restart the game while other games just change on the fly.
I just realized this game is running off CryEngine. For some reason I assumed they were using a Bethesda inhouse engine.
Reading the stuff Bacon1 found, this reminds me exactly of of ArcheAge, which also uses the CryEngine. The issues are almost to a T. I ended up rage quitting due to the shadows and their random behaviors.
Sometimes I'd have to quit the game 5 times for settings to take affect. You can just toss ArcheAge + Shadows into Google and get a boat load of hits.

If the game is using different shaders, it's sending different shaders to the driver. It's that simple.

Well, my question was if the driver replaces the game shaders with optimized versions. Is this an urban legend or actually the case ?
I think i will ask this question in the Beyond3D forum instead.
Yeah, nvidia and amd do sometimes modify and rewrite shaders to be more optimal for their hardware.
hope it's not blurry as hell like most recent games.
Reshade has become mandatory now with all that blur fest. Games are power hogs and don't look good nowadays.

I'm not seeing any difference in either shadows or anything, the one exclusion is in the helicopter which the new patch seem to use a bit higher texture detail, but other than that its pretty much same, yet its almost 30% slower.
Those missing shadows and lighting look to be about a 30%-40% performance hit on a 1080 Ti.
The quality of the reflections (due to higher quality lighting I assume) is really obvious once you get dialed into what to look for.I'm not seeing any difference in either shadows or anything, the one exclusion is in the helicopter which the new patch seem to use a bit higher texture detail, but other than that its pretty much same, yet its almost 30% slower.
Either the benchmarker is erroneous and has screwed up his settings, or the game is shit performance wise after the patch!
From the 4k screen shots and ingame footage this looks like a 2013 game to me. I'm shocked to learn it is built with cryengine and
have to wonder why it looks so bad. I know Bethesda prioritise story telling over graphical fidelity but the performance numbers are what I'd expect
from what looks like a lazy console port.

Looks like everybody lost performance with new patch, but only Fury stays the same?
I actually didn't notice any performance difference in 1440p pre patch and after on Fury. I wish I tested more carefully, but the game was working smooth vsynced 60 fps 1440p anyway.
Not sure if CDKeys is as bad, but G2A and many others are CD Keys paid for with stolen CC's which are often charged back thus costing the developers money due to fees. So instead of giving them money, you are actually costing them money.
