In game benchmarks are always garbage in my experience. This one told me I averaged 59.5fps and I was frequently in the mid 40s out in the city.
Yeah, my BM came in a little high too. I get 50-60 in the city though. AA was the major hit, had to lower it from high to normal. Driving lowers the fps to 40 ish.

My 690 can't even handle the extreme AA setting without averaging 32 FPS. On high I average 61 FPS. It's a very nice looking game.

I got vsync to stop hitching by capping the framerate at 60fps with Afterburner in addition to using vsync. Capping it without vsync results in some slow tearing, but using both remedies that.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
All I did was change the AA from Extreme, to High then to Normal.
Sapphire ATI 7970 3GB
16 GB Ram
i7-2600k 3.4Ghz

Seeing as how your fps is almost the same with AA High vs Normal, you are probably CPU limited. Try overclocking the CPU to 4.5GHz.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Ran benchmarks of the three anti-aliasing options. All other settings maxed out, vsync off.
i7 2600k bottleneck? Dont think so
He never said bottlenecked, just he is limited to the speed he set his CPU at, which is very low for someone with a 2600k.
A bottleneck would affect his systems performance overall, because of one key (usually) component lacking behind more advanced hardware.
2600k at stock clocks is more than enough, just saying.
You really don't understand it, do you? It is possible for a hardware component to hamper overall performance in certain games, no matter how powerful they are. The 2600k can easily be maxed out in a few games, same with most CPUs. Doesn't mean it's an overall system bottleneck. My 3930k at 4.7 has bottlenecked me a few times in certain games.
Sleeping dogs never goes above 50% cpu usage with stock clocks. So overclocking it would make zero diffrence.
And you must be running multiple gpus to get bottleneck with that cpu.
overall CPU usage is irrelevant, it's looking for one single overused core - That's going to hold back the rest of the CPU calls. However I wasn't joining the argument in terms of Sleeping Dogs as I don't know how CPU dependant it is ( However, free roam game tends to be ) but merely to point out to you that a 2600k isn't some magical CPU that will never be maxed. It's easy to hit a CPU roof in a handful of games.

I can't believe I've never heard of the Afterburner cap method before. It works like a charm.
Thanks for the tip

Though the overall performance is quite good, this game certainly does have a few quirks. My frame rate dropped as low as 35 while driving around during the day but then at night it was 60 the entire time. Then there's the occasional stutters despite being at 60fps... Can't really tell what's doing it.
All in all, loving the game and the performance.

Kind of late but if anyone is wondering about low-mid range cards:
i7-3770 @ 3.4Ghz
12G ram
2GB Radeon 7770
i7-3770 @ 3.4Ghz
12G ram
2GB Radeon 7770
I found this the best mix of setting for decent, steady performance. The quality AA especially knocked my average FPS down a fair bit, I'm fine without it. May try turning on the high quality motion blur, didn't notice any blurring yet as I'm early in the game really so no idea if it's worth enabling.
Was it the first time you played after installing? When I first installed the game and launched it the high res textures weren't an option, even though Steam said the pack was installed it wasn't. I had to exit and restart steam which made it actually d/l the rather large update

You're positive you downloaded the hi-res pack? I had to restart Steam in order to make the hi-res textures download. Try that.
EDIT: Oh, and please tell me there is a way to get rid of that annoying shaky cam while driving. PLEASE.

If you download hd texture and it hasn't installed verify game data will also fix that
Tried restarting Steam, but no dice. I guess the texture pack wasn't downloaded properly.
Oh well, reinstalling the whole thing now.
Is there any way to uninstall and re-download dlc? I couldn't find it.
Edit: Reinstalled the whole game. Reinstalled the texture pack. Verified the files. Still doesn't work.
On the texture packs store page it says "Play Now", indicating I have indeed downloaded it.

Right, that's probably what I should have done. x)

Does the high res textures automatically download if you download to a second computer? I downloaded it at work but when I got home, the download size was much bigger.

That is a different patch log, for one later tonight. I don't think we have notes for the earlier 1GB one.

Even on Low settings in 720p I find the game to be quite pretty, and it's very smooth too.
Great job United Front games ^^

yea, it kept the original settings that i made before the latest update.

OK,
I've just took a risk and bought the PC version of this to run on my 17" MBP. Couldn't wait to get a 360 version delivered.
It's got a 6750M in it. I'm guessing from the specs I should be able to run mid-specs at 720p ok?
I'm also guessing not worth bothering downloading the high def texture pack?

grab the texture pack. makes it look nicer. it's a toggle in the options so if the textures slow down your,rig, you can turn it off easily.

Anyone got a Geforce 9800GT could tell me what the benchmarks for this game is for that particular card? I am in the process of upgrading to a better one soon but would like to know anyhow
Get the texture pack, turn down AA, and maybe shadows if you need to. You'll be fine.

Thanks, this will be useful for me.
What nvidia card is most similar to the 6750M? I have a 555M

Thinking about getting this game, I'm sure my computer can run it but I'm curious what you guys think I can expect as far as what I'd have to set the settings to and framerate. It's a laptop:
i7-2630QM
1GB Radeon HD 6770M
6GB DDR3 RAM
1920x1080
If no one's sure, how would performance compare to the PC ports of SR3 or GTA4? (Since those are similar games that ran very well on my computer at relatively high settings).

It looks like N Monk (posts above me) will do a benchmark to help us laptop guys.

anyone try the game in 3d yet? It looks amazing.
