![]() It didn’t matter whether there were a lot of NPCs around us or not. What’s really funny is that our framerate was sky rocketing to 60s as soon as we were stopping driving. Every single time we were speeding up, the game’s performance was dropping to mid 40s. However, we also noticed a weird, unexplained, performance hit when we were driving inside the city. There is 15fps performance different between a dual-core and a quad-core, and we are pretty sure that CPUs of new architecture will benefit this game. Sleeping Dogs is definitely optimized for quad-cores, as our Q9650 was stressed like no other game. Truth be told, there were occasions where SLI scaling was dropping to 65%, however none of the other SLI profiles that were suggested (0x084010F5 or 0x080116F5) were working any better. There have been various reports for this, default SLI profile, as people stated that it did not offer an ideal scaling. Nvidia has already included an SLI profile for the game, meaning that you won’t have to mess around with Nvidia’s Inspector Tool. As always, we used an overclocked Q9650 at 4.2Ghz with 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GTX 295 GPU, Windows 7-64Bit and the latest version of GeForce ForceWare drivers. ![]() And as you may have already guessed, United Front Games has delivered. Not only that, but United Front Games has added better textures, DX11 features, as well as native SSAA support (similar to the one of The Witcher 2). The publisher stated that Sleeping Dogs would support multi-GPUs and multi-core CPUs, and unlike other games it would take advantage of the additional cores of quad-cores. A couple of months ago, Square Enix boasted about the PC version and its specific features. Publishers and other developers, start taking notes – this is how you port your games to the PC. Both Rockstar and United Front Games have decided to spend some extra time on the PC versions of their games, and that time did pay off. In fact, Sleeping Dogs PC is – almost – as good as the PC version of Max Payne 3. Several other series, including Deus Ex, Championship Manager, and Just Cause, have also sold several million copies over their lifetimes.Sleeping Dogs is one of the best PC ports we’ve seen in recent years. Several of these franchises have sold millions of copies both before and after its founding: the Tomb Raider franchise has the highest lifetime sales with over 88 million copies since 1996, followed by Hitman with over 15 million copies sold since 2000. The Championship Manager series has seen the greatest number of releases, at nine games on four platforms, followed by the Tomb Raider series at six games across eleven platforms. ![]() Studios under Square Enix Europe have developed titles belonging to franchises previously published by Eidos, such as Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, and Championship Manager. It retained the rights to the Outriders, Life Is Strange and Just Cause franchises, developed in collaboration with third party studios. Development studio IO Interactive was sold in 2017, and in 2022, Square Enix sold Western studios and several IPs of Square Enix Europe, including Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, and Square Enix Montréal, to Embracer Group. In 2014, Square Enix Europe founded indie game publishing division Square Enix Collective, and in 2018 the former Square Enix London Studios division, which handles publishing of games from third-party developers, was renamed Square Enix External Studios. Prior to its purchase, Eidos plc (previously named SCi Entertainment) was the holding company for the Eidos group of companies, including publisher Eidos Interactive and development studios such as Crystal Dynamics, IO Interactive, Beautiful Game Studios, and Eidos-Montréal. This list includes retail, downloadable, and mobile games primarily produced by Square Enix Europe's part of the group since its formation in April 2009. Square Enix acquired British publisher Eidos Interactive on 22 April 2009, which was then merged with Square Enix's European publishing wing and Square Enix London Studios and reorganized as Square Enix Europe. Square Enix Europe is a British video game publishing arm of Square Enix, a Japanese video game company.
