Precisely. A good point. This game Is still better on consoles over a pc. Although the resolution is stucked at 720p. But at least this games run smoothly on it than pc. And for pc you need to go so high end on gpu. Tbh one look at the game graphics. It is nothing interesting nor having the so call "wao!" factor.

You might wanna consider giga or sapphire tri-x. Quite good cooling, though sapphire only have 2 yrs warranty.

Does the game still runs better on console at 720p than on the $1.5K PC at 720p? If buyer can accept the lowered resolution on console, he will also be more willing to tune down the resolution to 720p on the PC in order to experience similar PQ, yet smoother gameplay (with GPU way more powerful than on console).

You have your point where i have my point also.

Yes a gaming pc in every ways have the upper hand etc in gaming performance. No doubt that you can set the settings down to 720p and a few taken off just to make sure the game runs smoothly. But this game suck so bad that it does not justify any parts of the PC at the moment. Every card you try is gonna just bring down the pc to their knees. Which imo no point to go for watchdogs with a gaming rig recommendations now. Cause if the game is unstable, whatever you throw at it it is still not well optimized and unplayable. Especially on Nvidia less than 4gb vram cards and mid range cards.

Furthermore, not sure have you tried the game on consoles. Watch dog on consoles are easier in controls.
