the series of events surrounding watchdogs has been interesting to say
the least starting with the leaked game that had coin miners injected in the
code by the guy that hacked it ridiculous
and then going into AMD complaining about NVIDIA gameworks and how it's
actually kept AMD away from the developers of watchdogs and has kept
them from optimizing the game to run on AMD cards and the performance issues
that came from that which we'll be exploring more later and then people
comparing screenshots and in-game footage to the e3 2012 footage that we
see that we saw much earlier and then comparing that to how the same thing
happened with far cry where with the early e3 footage it looked better than
the final version that people actually received so after all of this crazy storm of news
how does this game actually perform now while it's true AMD had very limited
time with the game due to games works and all that kind of stuff kind of
similar to how i had very limited time to the game due to not getting reviewers
code which was not awesome uh it it
isn't as bad as i expected when i saw the forbes article posted on our forum
and i saw the massive amount of pages of comments and i read a lot of the
comments and i read the forbes article i expected serious doom and gloom and then
once i started testing the game it wasn't that bad the AMD cards are not
that far behind their tier equivalent NVIDIA cards and looking into
seriously this game needs patches so watch dogs patches in the future you can
probably go see why in other people's actual reviews of the game but
personally i believe it needs some serious patches and as AMD releases more
drivers for watch dogs in the future i expect this gap to close up and i don't
think this is going to be a terrible terrible issue although i am for certain
that games work games works did affect things as far as day one launch goes in
the future once AMD has had more time with the game and once watchdogs is able
to release patches of their own i'll be more than happy to do stuff like 4k
benchmarks and 2560x1440p and playing around with a lot more
settings but as of right now it just kind of feels weird the game shouldn't
really be as hard to run as it is i mean it's a good enough looking game but it's
not exactly making my jaw drop the entire time i'm playing it and any
system i throw at it is extremely under stress the entire time so i'm fairly
interested to see what happens here and i recommend unless you have an
absolutely ridiculously beast computer
don't even bother with ultra textures because it's insanity it's going to
destroy the vram on your cards and you're going to have some you're
actually going to have some issues running it maybe if you have a six Gigabyte 780 ti or something that has
six gigabytes of vram on it you can play around with that kind of stuff but that'll be up to you to figure out
another thing that i might want to stay wary of is to take advantage of your
GPU's max buffered frames because this game really needs it and it will really
help i know the party started it's almost over
where are you i'm on my way oh you made
me this isn't exactly the most ambitious
benchmarking run i've ever done essentially for the first bit i just
kind of walk to a car while he's on his phone and then grab the first car that's
closest to me and then drive around for a little bit although the reason why i used it is
because i was able to find a pretty repeatable segment within a very short
time of having the game uh in future benchmarks i'll probably
find a different segment so that i can get a little bit more flavor into the
benchmark try and get some explosions and what not going on except for
the one little simple one that i have in this current benchmark just to show off
the game a little bit more but then i'm also hoping that by the time i get that
going on there will probably be patches and
better drivers and whatnot to support those things as well and be done but hey
you pay me right i'll keep them alive as long as you want i do work for a paycheck
when you first get in this car just look right behind you at the thing on the ground over there and hold q and it'll
make it explode what i do here is i take off at full speed out of the parking lot
but then once i get onto the road just because it's random what car will be
there i try to regulate my speed by tapping
um w in a certain pacing and i can kind of
compare about how fast i'm going depending on other cars on the road
because the cars on the road are usually going about the same speed for every
rune
i never actually really stop for this benchmark just kind of weave in between
cars and stuff it makes it fairly consistent because i just try to keep my speed about the same the whole time and
just weaving between cars although it does make it so you have to kind of squeeze between things like that from
time to time also this traffic light up here is
avoidable by just making it green causing a crash and then
going around the crash your benchmark should stop somewhere right about here
this game has been really interesting to follow since launch due to all the
controversy and stuff that's been going on around it tell me what you think
about watch dogs in the comment section down below while you're down there don't
forget to like and dislike the video and subscribe to see more content unless you
already have in which see more content
while you're down there jump over to the forum anyways ctrl t do whatever to open
a new tab in your browser jump on the forum and join the discussion there it's
often a more high brow discussion in my opinion so i hope you enjoy that if you
