Sleeping Dogs |OT| not releasing this would have been a True Crime

Heh...they made the same mistake as CDProjekt did with The Witcher 2. Supersampling is a great option and making it available is fine, but you need to warn people that turning it on incurs a huge performance hit.

It reminds me of something said by Remedy (I think) when they put the FoV slider under controls instead of graphics options. Some PC gamers habitually turn everything up to max.

doesnt sound like a badly optimized game to me. You'll probably get average 60 if you crank AA down (playing at 1080p anyway)

Have the game pre loaded. But have to wait until Friday, until it unlocks here in the UK.

Glad to see it's running great for people though.

oh shit, that's my card right now and im getting a 670 next week

im puzzled, what the fuck

what's your CPU? maybe it's just cpu heavy

Nah I only have a i5-750.

The tip is to *not* put AA or SSAO on "extreme". It's not really visually necessary anyway.

This game looks awesome btw, I have to admit I'm surprised. I did not think this would be more polished than Darksiders 2.

Turn the AA lower. It is using a Supersampling method. You can't run Extreme with good frames.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are my benchmarks with high AA (not extreme) and no AA:

Computer Specs:

Q6600 @ 3.2GHZ
GTX 470 (Beta Drivers) OCed
4GB DDR2 4-4-4-12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First two are V-Sync On and Off - NO AA:

Second batch is V-Sync On and Off - High AA (not Extreme):

Problems with performance? Not really. Here's my first bench, at highish settings:



GTX680
i5 2500K @ 4.2GHz

*phew*

wonder how i'll do with a 670 + i5 2500k at stock

not too worried. I'll probably play it fine with the 560ti before getting the new card even

Something is wrong with your computer guys.

Q6600 @ 3.2GHZ
GTX 470 (Beta Drivers used)
4GB DDR2

I get average 45 frames, and random drops in 30. Maxed out, no AA.

AWESOME. Running i2500k and 460 so I should be around the same frames.

Sooo happy it is a great port. Cant wait until Friday.

It's using almost 2gb of Vram at 1080p? Damn that is some heavy V-Ram usage.

Does anyone know if it is SLI compatible?

Woops...yeah, high. There is no Extreme SSAA. Just tried Extreme AA...not worth the drop at this point.

Yeah, Extreme uses insane Super Sampling, which is great for screenshots, not so great for gameplay.

I must be blind, where's the benchmark in the game?

It's a button at the bottom of the screen when you go under advanced settings.

Posted mine up top his! lol

Didn't see. :D

Also got the GMG email with no key. Has anyone who pre-ordered from GMG received their key?

I also went directly to GMG's site and went to "KEYS" tab and it's not there yet, although my other games are, so obviously they haven't sent it out yet.

Nothing here yet. I am on the West Coast in California and the only email I got was one today on how to download, but no key yet. Also did the same as you and went to the site to view my keys and it is not listed as of yet.

Well if someone has dual GTX 680 they should be able to run it quite solidly. As for myself:


For those complaining about the lack of high res textures...I don't have the time to download them tonight, and they shouldn't really effect performance anyways.
