00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,400
the series of events surrounding watchdogs has been interesting to say

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,480
the least starting with the leaked game that had coin miners injected in the

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,920
code by the guy that hacked it ridiculous

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,079
and then going into AMD complaining about NVIDIA gameworks and how it's

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,840
actually kept AMD away from the developers of watchdogs and has kept

8
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:41,120
them from optimizing the game to run on AMD cards and the performance issues

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,879
that came from that which we'll be exploring more later and then people

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,000
comparing screenshots and in-game footage to the e3 2012 footage that we

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,760
see that we saw much earlier and then comparing that to how the same thing

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,719
happened with far cry where with the early e3 footage it looked better than

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:05,199
the final version that people actually received so after all of this crazy storm of news

14
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,280
how does this game actually perform now while it's true AMD had very limited

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,799
time with the game due to games works and all that kind of stuff kind of

16
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:18,159
similar to how i had very limited time to the game due to not getting reviewers

17
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:20,080
code which was not awesome uh it it

18
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:23,680
isn't as bad as i expected when i saw the forbes article posted on our forum

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,600
and i saw the massive amount of pages of comments and i read a lot of the

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,280
comments and i read the forbes article i expected serious doom and gloom and then

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,960
once i started testing the game it wasn't that bad the AMD cards are not

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,640
that far behind their tier equivalent NVIDIA cards and looking into

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,880
seriously this game needs patches so watch dogs patches in the future you can

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,520
probably go see why in other people's actual reviews of the game but

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,399
personally i believe it needs some serious patches and as AMD releases more

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:57,200
drivers for watch dogs in the future i expect this gap to close up and i don't

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,759
think this is going to be a terrible terrible issue although i am for certain

28
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:05,920
that games work games works did affect things as far as day one launch goes in

29
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,520
the future once AMD has had more time with the game and once watchdogs is able

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,520
to release patches of their own i'll be more than happy to do stuff like 4k

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,040
benchmarks and 2560x1440p and playing around with a lot more

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,319
settings but as of right now it just kind of feels weird the game shouldn't

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:27,200
really be as hard to run as it is i mean it's a good enough looking game but it's

34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,000
not exactly making my jaw drop the entire time i'm playing it and any

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,400
system i throw at it is extremely under stress the entire time so i'm fairly

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:42,080
interested to see what happens here and i recommend unless you have an

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,239
absolutely ridiculously beast computer

38
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,920
don't even bother with ultra textures because it's insanity it's going to

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,640
destroy the vram on your cards and you're going to have some you're

40
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:57,040
actually going to have some issues running it maybe if you have a six Gigabyte 780 ti or something that has

41
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,000
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

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,480
another thing that i might want to stay wary of is to take advantage of your

43
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,040
GPU's max buffered frames because this game really needs it and it will really

44
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,519
help i know the party started it's almost over

45
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,879
where are you i'm on my way oh you made

46
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:20,239
me this isn't exactly the most ambitious

47
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,319
benchmarking run i've ever done essentially for the first bit i just

48
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:27,920
kind of walk to a car while he's on his phone and then grab the first car that's

49
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:33,519
closest to me and then drive around for a little bit although the reason why i used it is

50
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:36,879
because i was able to find a pretty repeatable segment within a very short

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,560
time of having the game uh in future benchmarks i'll probably

52
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:43,840
find a different segment so that i can get a little bit more flavor into the

53
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:46,560
benchmark try and get some explosions and what not going on except for

54
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,680
the one little simple one that i have in this current benchmark just to show off

55
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,879
the game a little bit more but then i'm also hoping that by the time i get that

56
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:58,400
going on there will probably be patches and

57
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:02,400
better drivers and whatnot to support those things as well and be done but hey

58
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,560
you pay me right i'll keep them alive as long as you want i do work for a paycheck

59
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,000
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

60
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,479
make it explode what i do here is i take off at full speed out of the parking lot

61
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,240
but then once i get onto the road just because it's random what car will be

62
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,040
there i try to regulate my speed by tapping

63
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:43,520
um w in a certain pacing and i can kind of

64
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,040
compare about how fast i'm going depending on other cars on the road

65
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,960
because the cars on the road are usually going about the same speed for every

66
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,960
rune

67
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,800
i never actually really stop for this benchmark just kind of weave in between

68
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,759
cars and stuff it makes it fairly consistent because i just try to keep my speed about the same the whole time and

69
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,160
just weaving between cars although it does make it so you have to kind of squeeze between things like that from

70
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:23,680
time to time also this traffic light up here is

71
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,520
avoidable by just making it green causing a crash and then

72
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,000
going around the crash your benchmark should stop somewhere right about here

73
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,280
this game has been really interesting to follow since launch due to all the

74
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,720
controversy and stuff that's been going on around it tell me what you think

75
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,639
