Can confirm that the performance on my HD 7870 is now at a rock solid 60 FPS. Thank you Nordic Games. 🙂
*THQ Nordic. :))
Oops. I’m still in the mindset that THQ has been dismantled even though the logo appear as soon as I boot up the game. :))
Plus, you got to admit Nordic Games sounds better. 😛
Yeap.Works great on my Rx 470.
what problem AMD gpu have with this game?i thought the game would at least running solid on AMD hardware because originally this was supposed to be AMD sponsored game.
I have an i5 and had a high CPU usage before the patch. (above 80%)
After the patch it’s better, CPU usage stays in the 50~60%
Also I can get 60+ FPS at 1440p on a GTX660.
