Alright so finally the official specs for watchdogs have come out... I am pre-ordering the game whether i can meet my desired setting or not... I have asked this question before and have gotten anwsers but that was before the official specs were released on steam.
My rig is made up of an A10 7850K Quad Core Processor running @ + Integrated Graphics - AMD Radeon R7 and also crossfiring a 2GB AMD Radeon R7 250X GDDR5 along with 16GB DDR3 (Running at 1600Mhz) I will be running the game @ 1280x720... My question is simple will i be able to play Watchdogs at High setting even if it is custom high settings... And i do not want to hear alternate solution like "get a amd fx etc. etc." i beleive that apu are improving and will essentially be more powerful than most CPU's (My opinion!)
Thanks for the help!

Your RAM will be fine for hybrid CF, i was speaking for the APU standalone that needs RAM speeds more than 2133 for better FPS.
I just checked now, that you can use also the 2GB...

Hi,
I believe that at 720p on custom high setting without AA, you will be able to run Watchdogs. About the FPS i can't be sure, maybe 30fps tops

EDIT:
I also believe that the maximum you can go with hybrid CF with the 7850K is R7 250 (non X) 1GB version
For the APUs to get the most of the games FPS require RAM speeds greater than 2133Mhz.

Oh so the 250x is not compatible with xfire... I did not know that thanks, also which R7 250 would you recommend then and can it be a 2GB card? Do i have to completely change my ram to even enable crossfire?

If you live in the US, this is pretty cheap and good R7 250 for your APU

Okay, thanks for the help and advice i am extremely pumped for this game now! Also quick question i only have a 500w PSU and the Gigabyte GV-R725O5-2GI apparently uses or requires i dunno 400w... So i was wondering would the Sapphire AMD Radeon R7 250 2GB Graphics Card ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111241027028 ) be just as good as the one you recommended?

Yes, the Sapphire one will do the job, both are essentially the same GPU.
About the power requirements, you don't have to worry to much, since your total power draw will be no more than 250w(the whole system including the GPU) while heavy load or gaming, meaning 500w is more than enough.
Btw GPUs that consume 400w are the AMD 7990 and GTX 690, the R7 250 is 8 Tiers below them and so it's power consumption.
