It's good but quite linear, get two play throughs out of it at the most, the Nazi zombie army sniper elite titles are worth a look into, iirc they also feature co-op play and when on offer with steam are only a few quid each.

So what does it take to max Watch Dogs @4K

The most you will get with them is a 2 way setup as their coolers make it difficult to use more.
MjFrosty has some of these cards and will be able to give a better answer than me.
Here is some 4K maxed screenshots
The brown is strong with this one.
For all the focus on pixels and polys, colour palettes in games are often much more muted than they would be in real life. Almost nothing is that universally plain. Individual bricks and even different sides of the same building will appear different.
We simply don't perceive even the dullest of streets like those screenshots.
I can't get into watchdogs for some reason,Wish I could get into it

@ kaapstad
I tried 4k watch dogs with no AA and with 3 titan blacks in sli it is unplayable, stuttering mess even now with all over the place fps, yet if i drop to using 2 blacks it runs much smoother but still not perfect, but playable for sure. The best performance for hardly any stutter and frame drops is with just 1 black. My question being how did you manage 4 titans to run at a consistent type of frame rate in sli. To me the sli profile seems the major issue. If i alter it to another profile it can run at 60fps but the graphics etc flicker and the physics on foliage goes spazzy but it indicates that perhaps a better profile would solve how well it ran.

Hardocp reckon there's still memory management problems. They were playing with 2 gtx780 6gb cards. They had enough memory but suffered from stutter. They thought the game needed some patching.
Quad SLI often works a lot better than people realise.
All 4 cards were running an overclock as well.
I was using the latest whql drivers.
On X79 RIVE with 3930k @4.0
NVidia PCI-E 3.0 hack.
What platform are you using as this can cause problems with more than two cards.

Asus Rampage IV black edition with 4930k @ 4.4
Set to PCI-E 3.0 in bios. Gpu's at x16 x8 x16 slots
32gb ram at 2133mhz
Windows 8.1
Watch dogs is the latest version with the latest WHQL nvidia drivers. When i monitor gpu usage it is spiking up and down all over. I wish it ran like crysis 3 i get in the 90's usage on all three gpus. Even other ubi games like Assassin's creed iv run fine with 3 gpus.
FarCry 3 is still a stuttering mess if you max out the settings, no magic patch 2 years on...
You can see my GPU usage on all 4 cards in this pic, it is not spiking all over the place though.
What is different is I am using Win 7
And Dom Platinum 16gb 9-11-11 2400mhz not that these should make any difference.

Kaaps a little off topic but i'm considering moving to 4K at the end of the month, i don't suppose you could show me some screenshots Arma 3 @4k if you have it?
Just wondering how it'll look tbh.

Until the swathe of Christmas next gen console releases has come and gone, it's anyone's guess as to what we will need to be putting in our rigs. I'm not making any decisions till I know what Arkham Knight / AC Unity need to run on.
Unfortunately I don't have the game, sorry.
Slight change of plan, I have seen a review of a couple of 295X2s on Tom's hardware benching ARMA 3, all they managed was about 80 fps @4K.
I am downloading it now I am sure I can beats Tom's figure.
I will post some screenshots later.

Arma it's heavy on the CPU also, not only as number of units, but with object draw distance as well.
