A bit violent to the eyes there, but glad to see Ubisoft has finally dedicated themselves enough to the PC version. Now to see how it runs.

Forza Apex has this. It's nice.
Is this the same as TAA? The description says it enhances MSAA, but it also says you can't use MSAA + TAA together.
And then you have TXAA, which is MSAA + TAA.

I don't remember exactly how it works. I think it's similar to checkerboard rendering, but additionally uses extra samples from msaa to reconstruct. Not 100% sure I'm remembering right though.
Either way, there more to it than that, but it was really effective in rainbow six.

You can barely see a difference, but performance can be 30-40% higher.
Found it, something like this would be awesome, every game should have this. There are so many toggles in the settings menus that it takes too much time to find the 60fps setting....
I can't wait for the Gamersyde vids of the game, seems Ubisoft managed to create a good Watch_Dogs game, although few gameplay elements I don't like

Awesome! That's an extensive amount of settings!

Apparently Samsung is doing a promotion where if you buy certain SSDs/monitors from them, you get a free Uplay key for Watch Dogs 2, because some guy bought an SSD yesterday and didn't want the code so he had it up on eBay for $29.
You have no idea how quickly I bought that shit. Even if the port isn't perfect, I won't be too miffed since I purchased the game for less than half price.

It's also bundled with Nvidia GPUs now, so there should be a decent amount of codes around with BF and Cyber Monday. Prices have started to drop finally (a week ago everything was 40, but now hitting 30ish like yours).

Yeah, I was supposed to get a code for the game from my friend who just ordered the parts for his new gaming PC, but he didn't get one since he bought his GPU from Amazon.
Looking forward to Tuesday!
Ubi hasn't set an unlock time yet. That ought to change soon as it's now Monday (albeit 1am) in Montreal.

4K textures are included with the download?
For AA, going with Temporal AA. Should save me lots of performance so that I can run other settings more higher while retaining 60fps on 980ti.

Am I crazy or GTA V still looks better then WD2 on max settings?

Can it be preloaded like the game?
Nope.

Is it 4K textures though, I think I'm confusing 4K support with it. It says 'ultra textures'.

I wonder how much ram is needed.

Maybe the textures are at various resolutions. Why does it matter?

I'm talking about VRAM btw. Will 6GB on my 980ti be enough.

Have a look at the settings screen, upper right corner, with Ultra textures and temporal filtering, 1080p, the usage reaches about 4.7 GB. I think my 980 Ti won't be enough at 2K, playing on Ultra, or maybe it will be the extreme limit.
Anyway, Ultra textures will be available at launch, so probably they'll be part of the remaining files needed to start the game.
PS: in the nVidia Gameworks video they were talking about 4k textures, so it could actually be their resolution.

I wasn't that sure if ultra was indeed ultra textures, but if so then I'll be fine.

Does GTA V look better than WD1 though? I'm honestly not sure.

Amazon France just emailed me my free Watch_Dogs 2 code last night, even though my ASUS Strix GPU isn't due to be delivered until the 29th.

Huzzah. It may unlock in New Zealand in just over two hours, but I wouldn't count on it as publishers generally lump it in with Australia.
Amazon US isn't pairing up with the promo it seems. They got abused hardcore by a loophole exploiting what you just got during the Gears 4 promo and they've changed how they handle it, or at least aren't doing it for GPUs anymore. It's only on Samsung SSDs in the states at Amazon.
I believe the Origin version functions identically to the Steam version in that the base service (Origin) provides the data but the game is launched through Uplay. The original game unlocked hours later on Origin as third parties don't have direct control over release state changes as they do on Steam, and naturally Ubi has all the Uplay access in the world, so I hope history isn't in the process of repeating itself.
I've run the game on a similar card at medium settings and a few others on high. Runs smoother than the ps4 version but doesn't quite look as good. Textures were the biggest hit due to it being a 2GB card.
My guess is consoles are a mix of high and medium settings. This isn't another Unity though, the game does run quite well.
Yes, and as far as I'm aware, the only region-locked Uplay keys are those intended for China and Eastern Europe, which don't offer any languages beyond Simplified Chinese and Russian.
Thanks Jase
At least Origin will be downloading it in which their servers are pretty good for me. It says it will unlock at midnight for me which is all good! Hopefully Origin also supports the 4k texture download.
VPN Gate if there's an AU/NZ server available as there are no session or bandwidth limits.

Apparently, the Origin version doesn't unlock in Australia until 7am PHT, which is 12-and-a-half hours away, so anybody with said version hoping for earlier access alongside Steam and Uplay users is out of luck. For those who belong to the latter group:
This, of course, assumes Ubi AU is properly informed. I'll create the PC performance thread after I've unlocked the game.
