00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.400
the series of events surrounding watchdogs has been interesting to say

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:26.480
the least starting with the leaked game that had coin miners injected in the

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.920
code by the guy that hacked it ridiculous

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.079
and then going into AMD complaining about NVIDIA gameworks and how it's

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.840
actually kept AMD away from the developers of watchdogs and has kept

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:41.120
them from optimizing the game to run on AMD cards and the performance issues

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.879
that came from that which we'll be exploring more later and then people

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:50.000
comparing screenshots and in-game footage to the e3 2012 footage that we

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.760
see that we saw much earlier and then comparing that to how the same thing

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.719
happened with far cry where with the early e3 footage it looked better than

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:05.199
the final version that people actually received so after all of this crazy storm of news

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:09.280
how does this game actually perform now while it's true AMD had very limited

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.799
time with the game due to games works and all that kind of stuff kind of

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.159
similar to how i had very limited time to the game due to not getting reviewers

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:20.080
code which was not awesome uh it it

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

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

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.280
comments and i read the forbes article i expected serious doom and gloom and then

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:34.960
once i started testing the game it wasn't that bad the AMD cards are not

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.640
that far behind their tier equivalent NVIDIA cards and looking into

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:44.880
seriously this game needs patches so watch dogs patches in the future you can

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.520
probably go see why in other people's actual reviews of the game but

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:52.399
personally i believe it needs some serious patches and as AMD releases more

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

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.759
think this is going to be a terrible terrible issue although i am for certain

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:05.920
that games work games works did affect things as far as day one launch goes in

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.520
the future once AMD has had more time with the game and once watchdogs is able

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

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.040
benchmarks and 2560x1440p and playing around with a lot more

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.319
settings but as of right now it just kind of feels weird the game shouldn't

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

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:32.000
not exactly making my jaw drop the entire time i'm playing it and any

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.400
system i throw at it is extremely under stress the entire time so i'm fairly

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:42.080
interested to see what happens here and i recommend unless you have an

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.239
absolutely ridiculously beast computer

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.920
don't even bother with ultra textures because it's insanity it's going to

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:50.640
destroy the vram on your cards and you're going to have some you're

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

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

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.480
another thing that i might want to stay wary of is to take advantage of your

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.040
GPU's max buffered frames because this game really needs it and it will really

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.519
help i know the party started it's almost over

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.879
where are you i'm on my way oh you made

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:20.239
me this isn't exactly the most ambitious

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.319
benchmarking run i've ever done essentially for the first bit i just

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

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

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.879
because i was able to find a pretty repeatable segment within a very short

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.560
time of having the game uh in future benchmarks i'll probably

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.840
find a different segment so that i can get a little bit more flavor into the

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:46.560
benchmark try and get some explosions and what not going on except for

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.680
the one little simple one that i have in this current benchmark just to show off

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

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:58.400
going on there will probably be patches and

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.400
better drivers and whatnot to support those things as well and be done but hey

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

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

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

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

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.040
there i try to regulate my speed by tapping

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.520
um w in a certain pacing and i can kind of

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.040
compare about how fast i'm going depending on other cars on the road

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.960
because the cars on the road are usually going about the same speed for every

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:51.960
rune

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:10.800
i never actually really stop for this benchmark just kind of weave in between

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

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

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:23.680
time to time also this traffic light up here is

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.520
avoidable by just making it green causing a crash and then

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:32.000
going around the crash your benchmark should stop somewhere right about here

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:37.280
this game has been really interesting to follow since launch due to all the

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.720
controversy and stuff that's been going on around it tell me what you think

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.639
about watch dogs in the comment section down below while you're down there don't

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.160
already have in which see more content

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:57.039
