Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

Anyone that bought it from Origin Indian store still get "Not Yet Released? It has downloaded and installed the "Breakthrough Pack", but everything else shows as Unreleased... :(
 
Cant get past the new game loading screen:p
All well ill try next month when I have my new rig built. The game didn't cost me anything and going by pictures on here and reviews out im not missing much.
 
Just played the first mission, to escape the stadium. FPS was constantly between 60 and 90 mostly. Game looks good graphically, not sure what the fuss is about there. Using latest Nvidia drivers.

Right at the end of the mission as I left the stadium, Windows through up a Low Memory warning. I just cancelled it and resumed play. Strange though as I have 8GB and never had that message before.

Initial thoughts are the game is good. Looks good and plays good.

Sure it wasn't the vram being low and it suggesting you turn off windows aero? That annoyed the hell out of me when I had win7.
 
Just watched TB's video and it doesn't seem as bad as many make out. I doubt my 750 and 3yr old i7 will run it well enough to do it justice.

Hopefully it will be under a tenner soon enough though :p *tight-ass*

I don't know. I'll look into it if it happens again. I have 3GB on my card so it shouldn't be a problem. I didn't mess with the graphics options in game I just let the game auto detect and played it out of the box.

What software can I run to monitor GFX card VRAM when I play ?

Really enjoyed the game, has kept me really entertained, it has sporadic slow downs in parts, 60+fps smooth, and then all of a sudden the game will hang for a few seconds and then go to 5fps hang again a few more times and then carry on as normal, dont think its a problem with my pc, but the game itself.

Ati 7970
8gb ram
i5 3570k @ 4ghz

girlfriend refuses to play pc games, so we are also going to pick the game up tonight from tesco if they have it in stock for the ps4, so will probably play through again on that after she is done with it.

I never played any side missions just straight through the whole main story, would say their was a good 7-10 hours worth of game play for the main story

would give the game 7/10

You must have been playing since midnight to complete it by now. Dedication.

Getting that too, notably so when driving more than any other occasion.

AMD driver 14.6 makes a difference, have cranked up a few more settings with ease, game is ok up to now, no where as bland graphics as some make out.

Are you experiencing any of this slow down/stuttering with the new drivers? I'm currently still on 14.4 but am about to grab the 14.6's and give them a whirl. Not sure if they will yield any noticeable difference in performance on my system though? It's an i7 920 D0 @3.6Ghz, 6Gb XMS 3 and an MSI R7850 2Gb Twin Frozr III. I haven't a clue what FPS I'm getting as I haven't checked but apart from the stuttering now and again, it seems to be running very well on this system at high detail settings @ 1920x1080.

1080p, I'm randomly still waiting for the right 4k screen to come along, and by right I mean... 120hz.

2x290's with a 2500k heavily overclocked. I got the 290's for mining and they paid themselves off but because of uni work and other things, I've only actually used them in xfire mode for games in the past week so my recent(past 3 years or so) experience of xfire is iffy.

Not sure if a better cpu would be helping out, I've not clocked the cpu usage.

It can easily dip below 30fps while driving at max settings, I've turned a few things down so it sits mostly at 60fps or so out of the car but still generally hovers just above 30fps in the car. It got better when I turned xfire off like others have found, with xfire enabled frame rate was awful.

Banking on the drivers tomorrow making a huge difference. Didn't know about the new drivers till a while ago though, maybe would have waited but waking up with a migraine + pain pills meant I needed a distraction from stressing about not revising.

120hz 4k :P

Because I do not play competitively and hardly play fps games much anymore, 120hz has not appealed to me much. I would rather a 60hz ips 4k, but those are way too expensive at the minute. I will likely get a 4k panel around the time windows 9 comes out.

I think a heavily clocked 2500k is still fine for now. No point upgrading until at least Skylake comes out I would imagine.

As for the game I will not be purchasing it after what I read. Not a big fan of DRMsoft anyway. Maybe get it for the Wii U when it gets cheap if they make good use of the gamepad.
 
2500k@4,5GHz can't manage to keep up with a 7950OC in some cases. Will wait for new driver, but no miracles expected. The CPU reaches 100% usage in some areas which has never happened before - even in BF 4.
