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 as it 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 keep 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.

Above, an overview at HIGH quality settings showing framerates averaged out with a dozen or so cards (we only recently added this title as benchmark).
