For gamers, Watch_Dogs seamlessly blends a mixture of single-player and multiplayer action in a way never before seen, and Ubisoft has gone one step further in creating a unique ctOS mobile companion app for users of smartphone and tablet devices allowing for even greater access to the fun. Launched mere weeks ago, the trailer has already been viewed more than a combined 650,000 times.

While seeking justice, you will monitor and hack those around you, access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy and more.įeaturing NVIDIA TXAA and HBAO+ technology for an interactive, immersive experience, it's clear that gamers can't wait to play Watch_Dogs, especially considering the effusive praise that the official trailer received.

So, starting today (1), gamers who purchase select NVIDIA ® GeForce ® GTX ® TITAN, 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, 690, 680, 670, 660 Ti and 660 desktop GPUs can get their chance to play Watch_Dogs TM, the new PC game taking the world by storm and latest masterpiece from Ubisoft ®.ĭescribed as a "polished, refined and truly next generation experience," in Watch_Dogs you play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Santa Clara, CA - April 29, 2014 - Destructoid calls it one of the "most wanted games of 2014." CNET said it was "one of the most anticipated games in recent memory." MTV said it's one of the "Can't-Miss Video Games of 2014." This, all before anyone out there has even played it. But we wanted optimal cooling.įor the card in a fully stressed status (in-game) with the overclock applied we measure 42 DBA, now that is slightly audible, but it remains acceptable to normal.Select GeForce GTX GPUs Now Include the Hottest Game of the Year: Watch_Dogs TM That value can be anything you wish of course. Now the HIGH IDLE results with the voltage tweaked card is due to the fact that we forced fan RPM at 65% continuously. Above, the IDLE (desktop mode) results where the GPU hardly has to do anything. Roughly the same proximity you'll have from a PC in a real-world situation. Considering that's not where your ear is located, we do it our way.įor each dBA test we close the PC/chassis and move the dBA gun 75 cm away from the PC. Some even place the dBA meter 10cm away from the card. There's a lot of differences in measurements amongst websites. Frequencies below 1kHz and above 6kHz are attenuated, whereas frequencies between 1kHz and 6kHz are amplified by the A weighting. The letter A is added to indicate the correction that was made in the measurement. A specific circuit is added to the sound level meter to correct its reading in regard to this concept. In other words, the measured noise levels in dB will not reflect the actual human perception of the loudness of the noise. Noise with significant measured levels (in dB) at high or low frequencies will not be as annoying as it would be when its energy is concentrated in the middle frequencies.
This means that the perception of noise is not at all equal at every frequency. The human hearing system has different sensitivities at different frequencies. You could only achieve objective measurement in a sound test chamber. Why is this subjective you ask? Well, there is always noise in the background, from the streets, from the HD, PSU fan etc etc, so this is by a mile or two an imprecise measurement. We bought a certified dBA meter and will start measuring how many dBA originate from the PC. Often you'll see massive active fan solutions that can indeed get rid of the heat, yet all the fans these days make the PC a noisy son of a gun. Do remember that the test we do is extremely subjective. When graphics cards produce a lot of heat, usually that heat needs to be transported away from the hot core as fast as possible.
