Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is an open-world game in which you play the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside. In the game, you have to fight your way up in the organization and take part in various criminal activities without blowing your cover. We tested Sleeping Dogs at two resolutions, with all in-game graphical options set to their maximum values with FXAA enabled.

Once again, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is able to overtake the Radeon R9 290X in the Sleeping Dogs benchmark, to claim a spot at the top of the charts. At the lower resolution, the GTX 780 Ti's frame rate landed right in between the 290X's Uber and Quiet modes, but at the higher resolution the GeForce GTX 780 Ti led the pack.

Frame times, however, were more consistent on the Radeons in this game, especially at the end of the benchmark run where the GeForce exhibited some clear variation. Note that even the highest of the spikes in the plot above is barely over the 30ms mark.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
