has been interesting to say the least starting with the leaked game that had coal miners injected in the code by the guy that hacked it ridiculous and then going into a and be complaining about NVIDIA game works and how it's actually kept and be 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 an 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 III 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 a reviewers code which was not awesome 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 tear equivalent Nvidia cards and looking into seriously this game needs patches so watchdogs patches in the future you can probably go see why and other people's actual reviews of the game but personally I believe it needs some serious patches and as AMD releases more drivers for watchdogs in the future I expect this gap to close up and I don't think this is gonna be a terrible terrible issue although I am certain that games work games works did affect things as far as day 1 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 in 2560 by 1440 P 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 very 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 gonna destroy the V Graham on your cards and you're gonna have some you're actually gonna have some issues running it maybe if you have a six view byte 780ti or something that has six few bytes of erm 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 GPUs max buffered frames because this game really needs it and it will really help I know the party started this isn't exactly the most ambitious benchmarking run I've ever done essentially for the first bit I just kind of walked to a car while he's on his phone and then God the first part 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 segments within a very short time of have another game in future benchmarks I'll probably find a different segments that I can get a little bit more flavor into the benchmark try and get some explosions and whatnot going on except for the one little simple one that I have in this credit benchmark just to show off the game a little bit more but then I'm also hoping that by the time I get back going on there will probably be patches and better drivers and whatnot to support those 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 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 run I never actually really stopped to this benchmark just kind of weave in between cars and stuff it makes it fairly consistent because I just try to keep my speed above the same the whole time and just weave in between cars although it does make us you have to kind of squeeze between things like that from time to time yeah 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 you 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
