What Games Are You Playing? [3]

[Boozad]

So the recommended system specs they released were correct then. I wonder how an i5-4670 and a GTX 780 will handle it on 1920x1080, I didn't think I'd be looking at having to upgrade to game at 1080p within a year!

@paulpicks21

Do you think I could run watch dogs okay? It makes me worried thinking that you could not run it well at ultra...

 

[paulpicks21]

I think it will be fine at 1920x1080p, and your resolution is much lower than that Andrew so I can't see you having a problem. Just seems to really hammer it on my resolution.

 

[andrew129260]

Thanks paul I thought my pc could handle it fine, I just thought I would make sure with you since you know your stuff with this.

Not that no one else does, but ya....anyways. you know what I mean.

 

[paulpicks21]

Yeah it is a lot more demanding than what I thought it would be. I recon to run it on Ultra at 1920x1080p then you want a decent quad core and probably a GTX 770/780 or R9 280X/290X.

But at your 1440x900 resolution I expect you should still be able to run it on ultra with your 7870 as it will be a lot less demanding. But if you upgraded your monitor then your card would struggle for sure.

Thanks again paul.

Ya I love my dell monitor.

Got it for $10 at a yard sale (suckers), and its a 22inch screen with built in mic and webcam. Screen is a great size for me, don't think I would ever want bigger. That is what my 40 inch tv and ps3 is for. Everything works great on it, and its really nice. I'm not giving it up till it croaks. ha. It was originally a $200 monitor.

Of course they game is not yet officially released either. I hear might be a day 1 patch and also I expect performance will be improved when AMD and Nvidia release new drivers for the game.

 

[paulpicks21]

New drivers were released today with support for the game. I seem to be getting around 10FPS more now so between 50-60FPS which is just fine.

Couple of screenshots.

 

[andrew129260]

Looks good. Paul do you know if gaming controllers work on it? Or is it mouse and keyboard only?

I have been using my Xbox controller for windows. There is too much driving in the game to use keyboard and mouse so I expect it supports most controllers.

edit : I don't know why it says press f to hide car in the shots as it is the b button on my controller. It may be because I pressed a key on the keyboard to take the screenshots.

 

[andrew129260]

Yay thanks!

 

[paulpicks21]

No worries.

Last couple of daytime shots out of the car I just wrecked lol

 

[andrew129260]

Looks very good paul, is that on ultra?

A screenshot from one of my favorite games. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 with plus mod on online multiplayer gameplay. It is surely an awesome game.

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks very good paul, is that on ultra?

Yeah on ultra Andrew. Graphics are not as good as I was expecting but they are still pretty good.

Is watch dogs any good? I seen a bunch of negative reviews on steam talking about stability issues and stuff like that.

Just wanted to chime in and say those screen shots look pretty darn good. Nice graphics.

I will be honest mate, it's good but not as good as I thought it was gonna be. I guess it had so much hype it had a lot to live up to. Don't get me wrong it is great fun once you get into the missions and stuff. I suppose it's very similar to GTA but a high tech GTA if ya get me. If I had to give a rating I would give it 7/10.

The water effects in it are some of the best I have seen Drew, I wish I had grabbed a screenshot of the puddles and reflections when I was playing a little while ago. Will try and grab one next time.

I ended up pre-ordering Watchdogs last night on a whim. Downloading now. It'll be interesting to see if I can run this in surround Ultra @60fps or if it's a drop to single screen job...
