Watch Dogs Ultra System Requirements Released

[TheMailMan78]

With those specs, I may not be maxxing out either, even with a 780, since I'm sure they mean 6 cores, not 6 threads. I seriously doubt my 2600k 4 cores plus hyperthreading counts.

I'm sure a 2600K will be fine.

Yee Haw! only 5 days to go!!! I am trying to stretch out Wolfenstein until then...

LOL, I'm loading New Order on my HDD now. By the time it's done installing, maybe Watch Dogs will be out.

I'm sure a 2600K will be fine.

Yeah, after looking at it some more, I bet you're correct! I think what we will see is they overhyped the requirements.

3 Moar Days!!! I am SOOO looking forward to this. I have had it pre-ordered since August! I have waited long enough!!

Think an i2600k with 2X 6950 can run ultra @ 2560X1440??

My PC is getting pretty old these days. I can say that my current PC cannot play this game even with a mix of high and medium settings without severe fps lag. I'm averaging 30 fps and dipping down to 20 fps while driving around. Ultra inside buildings works fine and looks awesome but once out in the city the fps really drop down to unplayable. My current settings are medium with a couple options turned off and the game fps still drop into the 20's. My fps are all over the place; one second I'm at 20fps, the next I'm at 45fps then I'm at 60 fps (when I look at the ground lol).

Visually at Ultra the game is pretty nice on the eyes. High settings still looks good but is a big difference from Ultra looks wise. Medium makes me want to give up.

I'm either going to upgrade my PC or just buy the game for the ps4. I haven't decided.

Game play reminds me of GTA series a lot except you can't kill or beat up anyone you want.

What an I5 is already on the ropes , never you lie

 

[Fluffmeister]

Looking forward to this, and I got it for free too.

Thanks nVidia.

I preordered the game too, do you guys know when we can start pre loading the game?

I can't find the option in U Play.

 

[Tintai]

I bought Desec edition half year ago...
They will return to me the price difference?

Pirate copy?

I bought the game like all of you. In fact i bought it last year...

In the mean time though....

I might just have to buy a 290x if I want to enjoy this game...

Nice, I haven't even received the key to pre load the game

How's the gameplay? Is the game entertaining? You said you need a 290X? Do you think it'll run at high settings on my laptop (equivalent to a GTX760)?

Man I'm so excited for this game, only 3 more days to go, is there anyway to have early access to it?

 

[WhiteNoise]

The game play is a lot like GTA to me. So far it is entertaining but I'm not too far into it. I do wish I could hit/kill anyone I want though. It seems strange that I can carry weapons but I can only use them on certain bad guys or certain situations. I've spent more time just trying to get it to run smoothly. Yeah I'll need a 780GTX or 290x if I want to max this game out. My 6970 doesn't cut it. Even playing with all settings at medium and the frames per second still dip low at times. Mostly when driving. Controls are kinda whacky. I'm playing with a m/kb AND a 360 controller. I prefer m/kb but the game plays so much easier with the 360 controller. There seems to be some sort of mouse lag but as soon as I grab the controller the lag goes away.

Visually when maxed out the game looks pretty good. It's not amazing but it's solid. I just wish my pc could play it maxed out. You won't have any issues though Warlock. You have a beast of a PC.

Oh I forgot...when you drive the cars you can view from behind the wheel if you want. It's hard to see in that view but it's pretty cool.

Just to chime in WhiteNoise, the game does appear to have some ATI issues at the time, people are finding it runs quite a bit better on Nvidia cards. Be expecting day one driver or patch. I will chime in and say that my GTX 660ti seems to be running the game nearly perfectly with hybrid High/Ultras, although I did have to force triple buffering to fix some minor stuttering that is likely just from my GPU choking up. Also the game maxed out does look very good, and overall gameplay wise it does definitely give GTA V a good run for it's money, but I won't say it's better, more so a really good alternative.

Also those frame dips you spoke of WhiteNoise seem to be entirely fixed by triple buffering for some reason. Seems to be a common thing with some of Ubisoft's games, cause it helped a lot of people on AC4 with the very same issue.

Here is a better set of screenies to tell the difference between low to ultra graphic settings:
