Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (HD Ultra textures…: http://youtu.be/L5cNX7GmojU


At 1080 or 1440? Sure can! All day long! I have a GTX770 4GB. I can get 60-100fps with the HD textures DLC @ 1080p. SLI is not working so well right now but you don't really need it. There was a patch recently that stated they are working on a SLI profile for the game. So keep your eyes peeled for that update.

The devs did a great job with this game! It actually uses all 8 cores of my CPU.

Here is a video I made of it with GPU and memory usage. FPS in the top left corner of screen.

This might be useful:

"One thing we should point out is that it is perfectly possible to run higher-quality artwork on lower-capacity graphics cards. However, you quickly fall foul of the split-memory architecture of the PC. On Xbox One and PS4, the available memory is unified in one address space, meaning instant access to everything. On PC, memory is typically split between system DDR3, and the graphics card's onboard GDDR5. Running high or ultra graphics on a 2GB card sees artwork swapping between the two memory pools, creating stutter. Shadow of Mordor has an optional 30fps cap incorporated into its options, though - with a 2GB GTX 760, we could run the game at ultra settings with high quality textures and frame-rate was pretty much locked at the target 30fps with only very minor stutter. In short, there's a way forward for those using 2GB cards, but it does involve locking frame-rate at the console standard - and the ultra textures didn't play nicely with the card, even at 30fps."

If the above is true (not saying it isn't), then this is the (USA) list of cards capable of running the game on Ultra.

Just throwing this out there, shadow of mordor needs 6 gb's of VRAM to run on ultra, which your SLI cards do not have.
