We take a look at Mafia 3 for the PC in our tech minded way of graphics performance articles. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards are being tested and benchmarked. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies.

Garbage optimization with no multigpu. Ya let me go spend $1800 canadian to get 60fps in 1080p.

TL;DR:
Completely non-optimized* crap with lots of stuff emulated instead of actual porting.
Dog-feeding PC gamers at its finest.

GTX 1080(stock) 56FPS@1080P???
Thank you HH once again for another game performance review.
You could had avoided the trouble tho and had shorten it to something like:
"You need a Titan X Pascal to play the game at 1080p@60FPS"
That would had been so funny right.. Oh, wait...

Runs like crap, Looks like crap (512x512 textures), graphic presets barely change anything.
Console crap shoved on PC.

Marketing ppl at Nvidia are geniuses labelling their cards: GTX 1080 is THE GPU to play "optimized" games like QB or Mafia III on PC at REAL 1080/60 (no upscaling, no FPS cap).

Great and detailed review as always.
Aaaand we found this year's crapiest port, so we can hopefully relax now. The suspense who is going to crap the bed the most was killing me.
The devs deserve all the refunds they can get.

One more game "optimized" by nvidia.
It is clear that this is one of the ways they are trying to hurt competition, no SLI no Crossfire, so that only their best GPU can get acceptable frame-rate.
You need 1300Euros GPU if you want to play new game with old generation graphics.
Almost 2017 and we still have new AAA games on DX11, why? Nvidia knows that they are better at DX11.
Consoles are not hurting PC games, nvidia is.
So yeah, go ahead and buy their products and their sponsored games.

Ah the 380X was tagged as 34 FPS where it is 24. Fixed thanks.

If your game only runs over 60 fps on a $1200 card at a lowly 1080p resolution, it deserves to fail on the platform. I hope pc gamers are refunding this en masse, this is just disgraceful.

BS. This is completely on the devs totally f**king-up big time. Mafia 3 isn't even being advertised by Nvidia, certainly not a front-page game like GOW4.
If anything, this game is developed with AMD console hardware in-mind, so, the abysmal performance is down to optimisations on crappy AMD hardware with those optimisations not translating to PC, not even on AMD cards.
This game is the new Quantum Break as far as performance goes with what looks like "drag n drop" porting.

We should expect game dev to release a new PC patch and advertising it as performance "optimization": downgrading the already mediocre graphics via settings tricks to reach 60 fps on almost all GPUs.

I wish everyone who bought this unfinished game would ask for a refund. Bad console porting like we see here, downgraded graphics in other ports so the console gamers won't feel left out. (Oh Hello Ubisoft) etc etc. If this continues pc gaming will die.
No pc gamer should have to put up with this sh*t. Make a statement.

M3 is not an Nvidia title like GOW4. It might work best on Nvidia, but, for such a title, that's not saying much.
To see Nvidia games look at this list;
http://www.geforce.co.uk/games-applications/pc-games
By my reckoning, M3 is a vendor agnostic title.

that looks like some poorly optimized craftsmanship, what with the abysmal fps in UHD...
Then again I could be mistaken, but signs point to that imho.
