Well, if you right click on the image and select 'view image' in Fire Fox, you can view them full size. Not that it provides anything but a static screen shot.

Or open image at new tab/card :P

Any benchmark I check on the internet proves that it does not take twice as much power to drive 1440p.. but you still keep saying yours.. whatever, you are not worth my time trying to convince you.

Then you must be on an imaginary version of the internet. I just checked over a dozen different video card bench reviews.........I have yet to see any video card running capable of running 1440p resolutions at framerates similar to 1080p at identical settings(minus the obvious native resolution)unless there is some type of software cap in place.  ;)
 
   Theoretically and assuming perfect driver and game optimization with no bottlenecks but the gpu redering power 1440p needs 1.8 times the gpu power to drive a 1440p monitor to identical frame rates as a 1080p monitor. Now obviously that just isn't the case but on games that can fully utilize a gpus potential and bottleneck it, that is exactly the case. On most games that doesn't have a vsync or hard coded program cap that is the case. Quick example: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-780-ti-review-benchmarks,3663.html  And this is an OLD benchmark review, since this time some of these numbers have been increased favoring 1080p even greater with the latest Nvidia drivers.
 
 So,  I don't see 1440p running any games at 1080p framerates, where the frames do get close is due to coded or vsync caps, not because the video cards got magically stronger at running 1440p resolutions ;) . Again time to do the math: 3686400 pixels vs. 2073600 pixels.

one third is about right, I was too lazy to find graphs as it wasnt worth it for me.
So generally speaking he was wrong, it is far from half what Ntrain96 said several times..

don't bother playing on ultra with AA, you need more vram for that.
 
I am sure that NVIDIA is working overtime right now to bring out the new 800 series cards sooner so people can line up to upgrade.

Just for you, few screenshots




 
i'll upload video probably tommorow from work, coz of my 0,5Mbit upload at home.
 
You will clearly see on the video that game runs fine but because of bad SLI profile/game optimization there are frame skips and shutters together with few fps drops.

Whats the point of a static set of screen shots that I really cant see well? LOL! Reread post # 102 I made and what your disputing after that post concerning 1440p and 1080p.

Here you are. The game runs flaslessly on 1440p, the only frame drops are because of stuttering which is cause of unoptimized game/SLI profile.

Even developers admit that the game isn't well optimized... but you just keep saying that it's user problem - and that 1440p has half the performance :D

actually the memory issue can be fixed, the game needs some recoding, something I don't see Ubisoft investing in for the PC version.
 
but if we get enough petitions from the PC community they might do so.
 
they just need to relocate some of the data to work with the system ram instead of vram on the PC.

There is nothing next generation about Watch Dogs i would like to add. It actually looks quite terrible even on max.
 
There is no reason it should be this demanding or run this bad. 50 to 30 fps on a high end system with 780 ti sc 3gb.
 
when you eliminate the impossible what you are left with is the truth. thus crappy optimized port, just like GTA 4. its nothing new. But dont dare call this game next generation gaming.

i bought GTA4 and.. OMG  regret the day i spend 60€ on that poorly optimized game!
 
a friend of mine bought watch dogs (PC) and he is terrified with the experience he is having on his pc.
think he has a vanilla 780 and a core7 (4th gen).
 
he said i could borrow it so i could install on my machine but i don't think it would run any better.
and YES! he also said that this game SHOULD NOT be this demanding on hardware and run this bad at the same time.
 
he is tempted in returning the game and i said for him to wait... eventually there may be a patch or a batch of patches to fix this game. 
and hope this is not the so called " NEXT GEN GAMING" as well...   it's embarrassing!
 
damn console ports....
we invest too much on our machines to be faced with this software junk that runs and even looks better on 400€ consoles.

I wouldn't expect Nvidia to start their 800 line of GPUs yet. They just released the 740 and Titan Z, and I see that ppl are buying the Titan Z. Like any Company they want to milk their products for everything it's worth.
And as for ppl that say this isn't Next Gen gaming, i'd say that depends on what ur point of view on different things. I would say that when i have looked up on the parts that are under the hood on a PS4 for instance, it can easily be better than even some of the best Computers. I say SOME, NOT ALL, but a lot. People usually don't have the money to throw around for an AMD specially accelerated 8 Core CPU.
 
I was wrong about the AMD/ATI GPU being 8gigs, and am very sorry. But it's 4gigs that does circles around any other GPUs for gamers right now, when the PS4 GPU can do Teraflops (spelling) which is very very fast.
 
PS4s RAM is only 8gigs, but is hell fast at 5500mgthz.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_technical_specifications, and for better English ppl can check out amazon.com on other PS4 stats.
 
Some ppl think this isn't the Next-gen gaming, but i very much disagree. The PS4 is not a PC, but the next-gen consoles can be on par with a lot of PCs now, and Yes i know we can have 32gigs in our PCs at 2400mghtz, but whether ppl believe it or not the next wave of GPUs will be very interesting to watch and see.
 
It's way past my Bedtime here @5:00 am, and have fogotten all the stuff I was gonna type up here that would make more sense, but i can't do that right now lol. :p

There is no real difference AA on/Off frames still drop to horrible levels. However the main concern for me are things like those leaves just showing through everything, even buildings. Its not just that either, road markings & fences all do it to. Made the game pretty much unplayable.

No it isn't. It may be poorly optimized but the leading platform was the PC.

Getting a lot of problems too with my 780ti Superclock. Getting graphics drivers crashing, fps going as low as 5 in some areas with 2x TXAA, MBHAO everything else at max settings & vsync turned off. 
Also getting alot of problems with certain textures "showing through stuff". I'm trying to like this game but am finding it very difficult.

Um no. PS4 is a console that is already dated IMO. It already struggles to run games at a consistent 60fps at 1080p. In fact when there are games that are 720-900p due to not having the hardware to run at 1080p it throws up a big red flag. Its basically a glorified AMD 7850 graphics card. Not exactly "next generation" horsepower in my book.

I KNOW you and many others are having issues with this game, but i have to ask how are guys with GTX 770's playing it without problems?
youtube is loaded with walkthrough vids of guy's using nothing more than a single 770 maxed?
here is just one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzUZ_Loyp7c
