Watchdogs at 4K

The game runs smooth with Gsync for me at 4k everything maxed RT & DLSS, 36-50fps.

However this actually seems below what I should be getting for my rig (3700x & 3080).

wtf 36fps on a 3080...

How does the game run with RT off?

You can run pretty much every game on 4K with just 8GB VRAM. But you need to compromise and switch off any VRAM hogging options in this case.

Its one of the first games that seems to be designed to be played at 4K (in my opinion). And therefore, a good time to consider upgrading to a 4K capable GPU, but only if you can get a good price - The AIB models with 10% overclocks are often far too expensive and offer diminishing returns.

The RX 6800 seems like a good option, if only it was a bit cheaper - If AMD made a 8-10GB VRAM version I think it would trash the RTX 3070.

NV could be very competitive if they released a RTX 3070 TI, based on the GA102 die used in the RTX 3080/3090.

Nope, thats about what you should expect. Everything else is/was pure marketing. Consider yourself marketed!

What DLSS setting or if not what res?

End of the first sentence. 4K.

Yup. Don't think it would get mods anyway.

No RT or DLSS?

Now do do AMD that drops to 5fps in shadow of the tomb Raider can't wait to see watch dogs legion

Hence why it will be crashing for the first 6months until the sort out the drivers.

The game is real smooth on my end though.

Same here, no complaints from me.

Looks like the 5600X is gonna be a beast for gaming (to the surprise of no one

), single threaded CPU Z score here:
https://valid.x86.fr/bench/rsf5p1/1

With a 10 or 20% overclock, it would be a potent upgrade for games optimized for 6 cores (although more cores maybe be beneficial in some games / workloads).

CPUs in the AM5 based Ryzen 6000 series (likely coming 2021 q3/q4) will probably be able to score 800 points or more in the CPU z single threaded benchmark, if overclocked.

That would be close to double the score of a lot of older Haswell era CPUs.

and that is about Watchdogs how :confused:

^ Watchdogs Legion (WD 3) and other intensive games benefit from a very fast hexacore CPU, you've correctly observed a slight tangent away from WD legions

Looks like Intel's 10nm CPUs could pull ahead of the 5600X in single core performance, based on their Tiger Lake laptop CPUs (top 2):

none of which you mentioned. Do have links to benchmarks showing this 'benefit from very fast hexacore' vs say a normal hexacore, in this game which is GPU bound at 4K which this thread is about?
