Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

VincentHanna · 21 May 2014 at 19:29

I've always had ATI cards, but as this is an Ncidia game wouldn't you have been better with an Nvidia Titan black or something if it was just for Watchdogs.

Just installed my ASUS GTX 780 Direct CUII OC and benched it. Almost double my previous score on my old GTX 580.

Can't wait for this game now.

I ordered my GTX770 today, so I'll be interested to see what jump I get from my 560Ti. Also free Watch Dogs already redeemed in Uplay.

Anyone any idea if there is going to be a preload for origin?

Almost did but the free Watchdogs copy swayed me.

Apparently not. I dont think uPlay or Steam are doing a preload either

gave up and bought the game and day1 dlc from cjs for £25. Cant complain at that price, hopefully get the key a few days before release so can preload it

Cheers for the info mate, tried to resist but I knew eventually I would cave in, rather cave in now that a week after release

I benched it on Valley today straight out of the box with the factory overclock. Going to overclock the card later and see what I can get out of it. This is what I got on stock settings though. Temps were about 68C max.

Would it be safe to assume that retail DVD copies will have the day 1 DLC including as CJS CD Keys does?

Can you pre-order for a Steam key anywhere, or is it just Uplay everywhere?

And will this always require Uplay installed & logged in to run, even if you bought through Steam?

the game is uplay only no matter what way you pay via steam or anywhere its always uplay, when it comes to this game.

Which is a shame as uplay sucks!

Any reviews up? I'm still super skeptical and if it's a pile of turd, I will buy a 360 and get a GTA V again as I can't wait any longer for a decent open world game and I liked GTA V, even though it had terrible FPS drops (hopefully it's a little more polished with the updates).

Review embargo until launch day.
