Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is a 2012 open world action-adventure video game developed by United Front Games in conjunction with Square Enix London Studios and published by Square Enix. Sleeping Dogs takes place in Hong Kong and focuses on an undercover operation to infiltrate the Triads.

The game started development as an original title under “True Crime”, but as a result of high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs. It sold over 1.5 million editions by September of last year and it looks to be a new franchise for Square Enix. It is a DX11 game that requires a high-end enthusiast PC to run well with all settings set to maximum even at 1920×1080.

Lets’s look at the frame time chart for the GTX 680.

Now check out the frame time chart for the HD 7970 SSD:

These runs are actually pretty close with only 2ms difference in maximum frame times spikes.  The Radeon is faster in fps.

Here is the GTX 680 ranking:

Here is the HD 7970 GHz edition ranking:

Neither of these video cards suffer from much jitter in this benchmark.  Let’s look at our latest benchmark, Hitman: Absolution.
