Thanks for the article, Mark. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into these reviews.
Glad to see that the game's performance is pretty decent, too.

In regard to the partnership between AMD and Bethesda, for this title the optimization work went into the Ryzen CPUs, instead of the GPUs. Although it should have been the other way around but anyways thats what they did
Alien, I'd just run High settings. I couldn't tell a difference between High and Very High, so it shouldn't be a big deal to tone it down. Saves you Vram and gets you extra performance

Poor Radeon. Raja must be peeved with the CPU team getting all the glory.

I'd say right now Ryzen is more important than a Polaris refresh. Makes more money sooo it makes sense. Until Vega comes around

Yeah, Ryzen is bigger bucks. Still, it's surprised to see a 1060 beat a Fury X. That's not just a win for Nvidia, it's a complete thrashing.
"Prey uses less than 4GB of VRAM in all cases except for 4K Very High settings, which means that most modern GPUs should not suffer from any real issues when running this game."

As I said, it has happened several times during playtesting. The best solution is to just quit the game and try it again.
This does not happen very often, but it happens and it would be negligent not to mention it. I have no doubt some people will never come across this issue, but it is nonetheless something that happened to us.

Far Cry games have had terrible load times for me. Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon take minutes and minutes on an SSD.

Doom is the worst game I have. And Fallout 4, but I have that on a TB RW RAID SSD now.

It's funny because some open world games load super snappily. Dishonored was one.

Could the loading have to do with the GPU's memory and/or overall speed at all ? Just curious as I have Doom on a 5 year old SSD but the game is being run by the 1080 Ti I currently have *On loan from a friend until Vega drops* and it loads really quickly.
Doom was a pretty rapid loading experience for me. I hardly had delays on it at all and that was with 980Ti's.

It was on an old laptop drive. It's now on a 240gb RAIDR.
From what I have read 5 y/o SSD 5 minute old SSD still really helps Doom. It's when you run it from a mech drive (same as Fallout 4). Can't see any VRAM problems, given I was using HBM? dunno, could even be single threaded nonsense on the CPU itself (3.1ghz Ivy).
