Thanks for the benchmarks, guys. That gives me a pretty good idea of where I'll be at with my i7 / GTX765M combo ... assuming I ever manage to finish downloading it.

At least I know performance will good enough that I can keep working on downloading.

What?????

I am on a GTX760, and I get an average of around 25-30fps on medium detail.

Is it because I am using the default driver? I am on version 340.76...

EDIT - I am still having major fun with this game, I have already put 10 hours into it, which is a lot for a working dad...Not a single crash...

What CPU?

Edit: The store states you need "352.21 or later"

You should upgrade to 352. The requirements on the store page state that it's the only supported driver. I recommend the following PPA for driver updates: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Sorry, I did not mean to hijack your thread to make it a tech support one :D

Its Intel Core i5-4670K CPU, with 8 gb of RAM, a hybrid ssd, and my trusty GTX760.

EDIT - thanks to you both, I shall follow the instructions. It's quite neat to include the ppa. I have to say that each time I load the game it says that my driver is not compatible, but so far, apart from the low fps, which tbh is bearable at 25-30, the game runs really smoothly. Super stable.

To raise the tests even one more level on the interest-bar (imho) you could add benchmark results for Windows running on the same machine.

While it would be interesting, and I have thought about it. Buying a Windows license (money I want for AMD cards) + arranging a hard drive for it (Don't want to split up my current drives - so money again) + the annoyance of having to burn a Windows image to a USB to install = major pain and annoyance.

@OZSeaford: Don't upgrade your drivers. Save the smurfs!
From the comment thread of another article here:
Quoting: edddeduckferal
Quoting: silverphilIs it mandatory to install nvidia-352 or can i get away with nvidia-331 (preferably) or nvidia-346 without issues or performance problems?
I have a GT 650M.

If you don't run at least those drivers everyone will look like smurfs (all blue), stability should be ok but those drivers are pretty old so your performance stability will vary.

I'd highly recommend using the supported drivers or newer.

Here are benchmarks for a GTX 650 Ti @1080p.
(Under Linux, obviously.)

| Lowest | Low | Medium | High | Very High | Ultra
avg | 63.67 | 58.58 | 42.14 | 37.02 | 34.75 | 22.33
max | 87.03 | 83.09 | 64.16 | 62.97 | 58.83 | 37.13
min | 28.93 | 25.41 | 17.79 | 16.36 | 14.93 | 13.50

As an image, for easy formatting:

(image mirror

- Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost/PCIe/SSE2 (2GB)
- Intel i7-4770K, s1150
- 250GB Samsung 840 EVO
- 2x8GB DDR3; Corsair Vengeance LP 1600

The exploding barrels cause the min, but it feels natural that an explosion would have an effect on your sight, if you know what I mean.
Either way, I've already finished the main campaign and lots of side quests and I think the game runs great.
