In case anyone is wondering Titan doesn't handle the hair effects very well at all. Slows down to around 40-45 and feels choppy. Hair color runs all over also. Have to use FXAA to maintain 60. Still looks incredible though, not blurry at all. I suck at this game so far, haven't got the mechanics down yet, wolves are kicking my butt.
I was hoping it would power through it but no such luck, but I can still make it look really good. I can also bring my system to it's knees with the wrong choices and NVidia is not expecting to get an updated profile out for the game until the end of the month. They only got the final code to work with the weekend before launch. Probably keep playing unless I get a crash then I will wait. The hair isn't worth waiting for only maybe minor improvements, default doesn't look that bad, pretty good compared to every other game I have installed.I thought Titan would be better at first, but they corrected my poor assumption in the Video Card sub-forum thread on Tomb Raider. Essentially, Titan may be considered better at compute, but it's mostly floating point, which is not what's being used in Tomb Raider (and other games).
I set some things on normal and ultimate , I got lower performance than setting everything on ultimate. Maybe it was because it was the first time I ran the game.
I noticed the same thing. Going to Normal was actually slower than High and Ultra.
Tony Stark can't handle Lara's bra straps.
I really do love the game. There are just 2 things I think that I dislike about it. First some of the QTE's are annoying when switching from this to that and to this, just not a fan of QTE's , but thankfully after the beginning they become much much less frequent to almost nonexistent. Second, Lara takes an unbelievable amount of punishment, I know it's a game a things tend to go over board and I can do the whole suspense of disbelief fine, but they just take it too far. At least have some time pass by with her passing out from pain to make it a bit more believable, as it is I think I rather have her defending the planet instead of Tony Stark.
Finally got around to playing this tonight. Fantastic game. However, I seem to have come across a glitch where Lara loses her hair.
Heh. Lara Croft meets Alien 3
I'm only about an hour in the game. I'm wondering if you guys had issues with the russian's choke quick time event. Lara died like 20 times before I got the correct buttons to press. I've read that each QTE should show an icon (skull, hand, etc.), but for the choke part, there were no clues which buttons to use at all. I think it actually ended up requiring pressing F twice.
How do you shoot down salvage crates? For example the area where she meet roth there are 2 slavage crates suspended by rope. They are too high to reach with a torch and if you get above them I can't reach them either. I almost think I'm suppose to shoot a flaming arrow in them but I don't know how to get those either (if they exist).

I'm using an XBox controller, so the button letters come up for me.
BTW, I may be the only person who doesn't have an issue with QTEs. In fact, I think it's cool sometimes. Sorta like JC2 when you're trying to knock out a helicopter pilot.
