Watch Dogs will not run on Dual-core CPUs

As I said, cherry picking screenshots does not prove anything. ANYONE who has played both games will tell you that Watch Dogs is graphically superior to Sleeping Dogs. 

How are they cherry picked?

Look at any SD shots and they look like what i posted unless you turn settings down.

id suggest you scroll up a little bit he posted 6 screenshots from Watch Dogs that should convince you! :P

now, just imagine fluid motion and interactions of all those great characters at 60FPS...

 

Your postcard sized screenshot of a console version of sleepin dog is VERY convincing BTW i need a PS3...

It looks a little better, not drastically better, UE4 Elemental Demo is far more impressive.

 

Plus never trust a pirate.

the cracked pirate version of a game is always know to run worst than the retail up to date edition, i can't wait to put my hands on this game !

I just hope i can run ultra 4xMSAA at 50-60FPS 1080P... ;)

Yeah, no! Already bought the game. Proof.

 

A little bit more.

The thing is, I've already ordered it. I don't see the harm in playing something I've already paid for a few days earlier.

Enjoying the what? You accused me of being of being untrustworthy and called me a pirate. I'm not. I pay for my games. I happened to have gotten Digital Deluxe version for 28 dollars. It's a steal for that price. But I always pay for my games.

 

Now, what happened in this particular case is that the pirated version leaked 5 days before the retail release. I could have waited 5 days for retail version to unlock, but I didn't I'm inpatient. I'm already paying for the products, so I do not see the harm.

First of all, as the title says, rumor. It's only that. Secondly, looking at GPU-Z: there is no activity going on my GPU. And lastly, Kaspersky and Malwarebytes didn't detect anything.

Does it hurt waiting till the 27th?

I suppose not, but if you could gain early access to a product you already paid for: wouldn't you? I just don't see the harm. I'm supporting the developers by actually paying for the product, so what does it matter if I gain access to it a few days earlier? Where is the harm.

I guess i have patience and don't take my gaming career too seriously.

 

I would rather play my legit game on the 27th than download a rumored mining crack.

no harm, but it is QUITE possible that the true retail version of the game will run better...i've ran crysis 3 cracked once and then bought the game and it was very very different (30FPS vs 50-60FPS...)

All this hype reminds me of the original crysis. And people were able to run that game even on Pentium 4.

haha yeah i ran it on a pentium 4 and it was running like crap, i then built a new PC for THAT game with a core 2 quad Q6600 + 8800GT 512mb wich was the second fastest GPU at the time (fastest being the 8800GTX) and still i was get lows in the 30-35FPS...my GTX 780 + 8 core FX-8320@4.6ghz does max it out now @60FPS but if i filter it at 32xCSAA i'm not that much above 70FPS...that point out that a very solid PC able to max out crysis 1 was not out at the time...same goes for crysis 3 we have a yet to have a single GPU graphics card to be fast enough to run it on max settings @1080p 60FPS...i think Watch dogs falls in the same category of highly demanding games.

Here's a small album of some shots i've made.

All the other footage you see out there does not show the highest settings in the leaked build, there's some extra stuff in the .cfg.

I'll be adding more.

on the lowest of lowest settings any "modern" pc can run any game. not saying you would enjoy playing it, but it is possible.



there is allways a way to game.

I can make some more shots if people want, maybe something specific in mind.

YES i would LOVE to see what CPU usage you are getting in game if you could show CORE LOADS in actions...that would be AWESOME!

I'll take a few shots with the OSD on, but keep in mind that the build seems messed up and does not represent the final game, i can tell you that it doesn't max out and sometimes can be pretty low in the 20%s and 30%s

i totaly understand that the official game will most likely run much better and scale better, i would just like to see how the CPU load spreads out... :)

There are a few issues;

- CPU bottleneck
- Memory issue; gpu's apparently dip all the way down to 10%

Uploading it atm. 2 cores 30 fps 4 cores 60 fps and 6 cores 70 and all threads no gain anymore. Basically 4 main threads & 2 trashthreads
