Watchdogs Performance

[LtMatt]

Looks like GameWorks title Watchdogs has gimped performance on AMD cards according to someone who is undertaking benchmarks. Cheers Ubisoft and/or Nvidia. (whoever is at fault)

Good news, hopefully.

Fingers crossed. People don't really have much cause for complain with it not running right before release. If it's still not right after release, then we can shout from the roofs.

Agreed. Felt it was worth posting about after reading his tweets in the OP though. Will see how it pans out. No smoking gun as yet.

Single 290X @ 1440P.

Have to run medium settings with AA turned off to get playable frame rates.

I think this game just needs an optimized driver and it will be fine. The game doesn't look anywhere near as good as I thought going by the first reveal compared to the actual release.

Fun to play though, hacking / driving mechanics are fluid. Not sure I like the vigilanty save people missions, seems like it's been tacked on to pad out the game, but guess most games do this anyway.

7.5/10 for me at best lol.

Back to Wolfenstein

Cheers for the review. Sounds a bit disappointing. What else is there to do in the game beside the main missions?

Well if this is to believed then a lot of peeps will struggle
