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

I've got realtime reflections enabled. A lot of it's been turned off. It's really poorly optimised which is most likely why they removed a lot of the effects before it went gold. It's forgivable in an open world game. Have you seen real time reflections in GTA 5 yet? I think people might be being overly critical because of the bad press. But it's definitely not as good as it could be. Graphics aren't categorically bad though, not a chance.

It looks like Gta5 on the last Gen consoles actually is better than New Gen watchdogs where reflections are concerned. So surely PC/PS4/XBONE Gta5 will be better in this case.

Ok, let's not get silly about it. It's terribly optimised, but the graphics bad? lol. Head scratching stuff. It has better lighting than say BF4. Are those graphics bad?

I guess its in the eye of the beholder, personally i think Crysis 3 is still the best looking game ever, people have disagreed with me on that, so i guess it depends one your own perception.

I also don't think BF4 looks all that great, but it is still a good locking game and certainly looks much better than WD.
 
They still haven't optimised that crap? Can't see very many people paying the extortionate preorder fee for Assassins Creed and Farcry then. That's neglecting the woe that is uPlay.

Looks fantastic @4K with 8XMSAA.:p

With 4 cards if you can use those settings you should as it flattens out the fps @4K a bit like Mantle does in other things.
 
Not sure watch dogs is the best for guessing what's needed, it's a pile of crap with so many issues, felt like an alpha on release and terrible optimisation. If they made it properly then you could probably lower the required specs by 30%.

Saw this on 4k and it was nothing special, that's when it actually loaded.

I think this kills off any notion that 4gb cards are suitable for 4K with max settings.:eek:

I think it's more a case that performance per £ isn't realistic for 4K with max settings on certain titles, considering the graphics cost per single frame is £70+:eek: in this instance.

Doesn't matter/apply to the other chap out of the 120,000+ users in the forum though.:D
