MSI R9 290 OC Gaming Edition Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4K)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell February 27, 2014 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s 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 in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 2560×1600.

The MSI R9 290 OC Gaming Edition manages to maintain smooth frame rates, holding at 25 frames per second or greater at all times.
