DX11: Sleeping Dogs

DX11: Sleeping Dogs

Based in Hong Kong, Sleeping Dogs takes gamers through diverse neighborhoods, ranging from the high class Central HK to the bustling fish markets of Aberdeen and beyond in a wide variety of story missions and sandbox activities. The game also introduces handfuls of intriguing characters for gamers to interact with as they navigate through a truly unique and dangerous city.

The game is great to benchmark with is comes with DirectX11 Specific Features like contact hardening shadows, HD-AO and Use of Direct Compute. This particular test has the following image quality settings enabled:

• DX11
• High Quality mode
• in-game AA enabled
• in-game AF enabled

Our scores are average framerates so you need to take a margin in mind for lower FPS at all times. As such we say 40 FPS for this game should be your minimum, while 60 FPS (frames per second) can be considered optimal. If we focus at 2560x1600 again we see the cards scale quite well.

And if we place that in a comparison chart then again 2-way SLI scaling is fantastic, 3-way however hardly worth the effort.

Again, you'll notice that I've added GeForc GTX 680 2-way SLI and the Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition 2-way Crossfire results as well.
