Watch Dogs on Console Will Equal to PC on High
Watch Dogs on Console = PC on High spec.
"Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin has revealed the difference in graphical quality between the PC and next-gen console versions of Watch Dogs.
Morin claimed that Watch Dogs on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will look as good as running Watch Dogs on PC high settings, although the resolution could be a lot lower…
Tweeting to fans asking about Watch Dogs performance yesterday afternoon, Morin said Watch Dogs “PC High settings = NG Consoles.” So Watch Dogs should be looking pretty top-notch on the new consoles, but as always the place to be for the definitive version of Watch Dogs will be PC. If you’ve got a sweet enough gaming rig you’ll of course be able to crank Watch Dogs up to Ultra settings for the ultimate experience at up to 4K resolution.
We know that the resolution in Watch Dogs is capped at 900p (1600x900) on PS4 and just 792p (1408x792) on Xbox One, so PC is the ultimate platform for those hunting for the sharpest resolution. Just be prepared to need a beast of a rig to squeeze Watch Dogs past 1080p on Ultra.
For those Ultra settings in Watch Dogs you’re going to need a mammoth GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290, couple with a quad-core i7-4770K 3.5GHz with 8GB RAM to boot.
There’s also some possible good news for those at the other end of the Watch Dogs system requirements spectrum, with Morin claiming that while “4GB is lower than min specs. It might run if nothing else is running, but when it swaps to your hard drive it will lag.”
There will be no lock mechanism in place to prevent users trying to run Watch Dogs with specs below the minimum requirements, so there could be a little more wiggle room for those willing to drop down the Watch Dogs graphics settings.
Watch Dogs is out worldwide on May 27th, for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360."
