The game has some shocking material so nothing wrong with a disclaimer, though in my own opinion a few older games went farther than what this game does to say nothing of some of the movies released, particularly some of the 70's and 80's stuff before all these regulations and restrictions came into place.
But for someone who's expecting something like Call of Duty with perhaps some small blood effects the stronger gore and maybe more importantly the political and social statements in the game might come across as a bit strong so I can understand if some players feel a bit uneasy about certain scenes.
[spoiler]
Even for the gore effects through the regular game that ending sequence is dialed up a bit further, sure Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2 kinda went to extremes with their gore system years ago but the new visual tech in modern games is a bit different and makes for a more realistic presentation - even if this is a pre-rendered cutscene though it is using the game assets instead of being fully CGI.
[/spoiler]
As for under 17 well while it perhaps does not apply to these forums I'm pretty certain there's probably players far younger than that, those age ratings on the box tend to go ignored sadly, for a variety of reasons.
EDIT: Though that said while the game tries it also falls flat a bit though this is likely intended but the Nazi's come across more as cartoon villains in how extreme they are presented and sometimes even comedic in certain scenes.
Mr. milkshake man and alpha to not spoil things too much, as two examples.
(To say nothing of the dialogue between characters on both sides and the letters and stuff you find.)
But this is about how the game runs (Or doesn't, driver issue perhaps? Game could do with a patch or two further too though.) and not the discussion of the story and setting as such so probably best to get back to that as to not derail the thread entirely. 🙂

I what to just say my fx 6350 and R9 380 run the game at 1080p great on Win 10 and my Fx 8350 and RX 480 run great on Win 8.1 on 17.11.1 Driver

"Another complaint about the game ... is that it quite easily eats away 55 GB of your expensive SSD space."
Well, that size brings all the graphics goodies! It must amaze the devs to be dinged for that on Guru3D ;-).
There's a lot to be said about this game. For one thing, it looks great and plays "fine" on a GTX 770 w 4GB, at 2560x1440. I probably have medium settings and didn't check FPS, so that's all subjective, but there it is. No crashes after a few hours with it.
Re the Nazis - the evil of that regime cannot be overstated. Even overstating it can't overstate it. So I'm loving a game that gives it to them in spades. And gives it to anyone who ever thought like them. Kudos to Bethesda, and incidentally to the Germans on staff who helped make this so hard-hitting. And while I normally dislike games with much story line, the writing here is actually good - sometimes great. I'm very impressed.

1440p Mein Leben (Shadows on Ultra tho) TSSAAx8
ACE On
Deffered Off
Culing On
Blurrrr Off
Solid Brutal Performance 45-62 All't'time (CHill is set to 45-62) 😎
Razor-Sharp Gameplay (similar to BF4/1)

On Ryzen+Radeon system I have not a single problem (well,only Alt+Tab in excess give a crash),everything on High+SMAA @ 1080p (17.10.3 driver),the game looks good,except some ugly flat textures.
On Gtx side will be problems because Vulkan+Async Compute.
@OnnA With Chill will lose some precious frames.
Not a bad game(Imo too much politics),but Wolfenstein The New Order+aclaimed Old Blood is much better. 🙂

At 1080p vram is not an issue for 4gb cards. A 4gb 570 is way ahead of FuryX at that res. Also bear in mind that FuryX is HBM with a massive 1024 bit bus and can handle far higher mem bandwidth than regular gddr5 cards.Yes Polaris is starting to shine while Fiji imo is undergoing the 'Kepler effect'. AMD driver team more focused on their newer cards is my take on it.
Did you see the vram usage chart?

This game definitely looks to be an AMD ATI game since I have never seen the Vega 64 come so close to the 1080 Ti. But it runs at 91FPS on my 1070, so i'm happy.

Of course their is a problem with Vram in Fury x at 1080p.At Mein leben i get from 4.7 gb to 5.8 gb in average in most places and almost 7.9 gb in other.If reviewer search the setting the you easy find that Fury is hammered by image streaming above medium settings.Its cache pool that has nothing to do with quality settings.I set all Settings Ulta/uber except Shadows "ultra" and image streaming "medium" and my vram was at 3.8gb.With this setting Fury will be in gtx1070 level performance.RETEST NORMAL and everything will be in the right order.

A low cache will restrict texture quality though you have to gimp it pretty heavily to affect things dramatically instead of having the game slowly fade in/out as it manages data. 🙂

First image is with a is_poolsize value of 128, textures just can not load, 512 - 1024 works most of the time though but with more noticeable fade in and transitions between quality levels.
Second image is a full on 6144 or 1.5x 4096, higher isn't possible without the game refusing to load up the main menu at start so that's the limit until I can get a 8 GB GPU whenever. 😛
Textures are sharp and stay sharp, framerate goes straight down of course and it doesn't take much for things to go really poorly for the GPU because there's no way it can cope with the cache being so high ha ha.
Even slightly improves gun detail in this comparison but not by much, certainly nowhere near what the promo images showcase and NPC faces are also curiously low detail even for more major actors.
EDIT: There are different systems in play though, image_ related settings and cvars affect some textures, vt_ related cvars and such affect a few other things and then there's these is_ settings for streaming affecting some things too. 😀
The game loves VRAM though, a 12 GB Titan or full on 16 GB Vega Frontier/Pro would be fun to see just how much you can increase these settings by without running into VRAM issues or artifacts from trying to push texture detail from 8192x8192 pages to full 16384x16384 and possibly even remove some of the compression settings.
(Nothing going to do much if the source assets themselves are a bit lower quality of course, can only make small improvements which might explain gun and face texture blurriness.)

Fury has some problem (probably vram related) with just one setting TSSAA (8TX). When applied GPU usage drops and also the frames. There is more than 20 fps difference between Mein leben! - TSSAA (8TX) preset and Mein leben! - SMAA (1TX).
1080p Mein leben! - TSSAA (8TX)

1080p Mein leben! - SMAA (1TX)

So if lowering one setting on a 2 year old GPU is a disaster and make the card "trash" I take this trash gladly.
JonasBeckman
Memory limit I'm guessing but I have noticed TSSAA is pretty demanding, it's not quite the same as full on super sampling and from my understanding TSSAA 8x would take the eight previous frames into consideration for it's final image and calculation, using the r_antialiasing console commands this can be fine tuned a little bit though I wonder if keeping the info from those past 8 frames around for doing these calculations is too much for the Fury GPU, memory limit perhaps but could be some other bottleneck entirely.

Hey Hilbert, thanks!
Its always good to kill nazis in videogames. Its as wrong as a cup of warm tea on a cold winter afternoon. Hell, you could drown them in their own piss it would still be apropriate! They´re nazis... 🙂
