highest + vsync = 60fps?

probably not, cpu too weak.

Tom Tancredi · May 26, 2014

Vsync LIMITS your FPS by matching the video display (normally 60Hz) to the video card, and keep the video card from pushing too many FPS out (tearing images) on the monitor. No the demands currently in place for Watch Dogs is a i7, and that would be the current i7-4xxx Haswells.

Tom Tancredi :

Pretty much everyone here is aware that the recommended Watchdog specs are not accurate. Ubisoft has a long history of either making their recommended specs way too low or way too high.

13thmonkey · May 26, 2014

The upshot is, as I've gotten tired of saying in other threads, is that no-one knows yet, not until the performance reviews are out. but if an i7 is ultra recommended, and an i5 is just recommended, then an i3 will be iffy and constrain you somewhat.

I'm not really sure what tom is going on about, or more importantly why he is going on about it, seems a bit random to start of talking about v-sync

13thmonkey :

I don't think an i3-3550 actually exists, so it's probably an i5-3550.

William Norberg · May 26, 2014

Sorry, Its is an i3-3220

I doubt it'll run @ 60 fps on any settings (CPU bottleneck), but there's no way to tell for sure until we start to see some benchmarks after the release.

No,it wont run Watch dogs on ultra bcoz:
1.You cpu is too weak.
2.It is specially optimized for Nvidia GPU's but 280x is also a very strong performer.

sourodip :

I bet that the gpu will run the game at 60+, but the processor is right now my biggest problem. Any good 1155 processors under 220 usd?

You're in luck: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637e31230v2
That's practically a very slightly underclocked i7-3770, great value for your money. The only difference is the lack of integrated graphics, but that won't have an effect on gaming since you will be using the R9 280X.

sourodip · May 26, 2014

Yes i know that, i was just saying that for nvidia gpu's have better optimization.
But his processor is too weak to handle it at 60 fps.

Rationale · May 26, 2014

William Norberg :

Actually, Watchdogs uses some pretty heavy Nvidia exclusive effects. You might not be able to enable everything, regardless of framerate. PhysX, for example, simply wouldn't be supported on an R9 280X.

Aside from that, the i5-3570K is a strong CPU.

I have an "old" gtx 660 oc in my garage. But i guess that optimisation wouldn't make it better than the r9 280x
