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.

We are using the highest possible image quality settings at 1080p, including the high resolution texture pack.

The only card that can really power the title at these settings, is the overclocked HD7950 IceQ.

We lowered the image quality settings to see if we could get the game running at a very smooth frame rate on the Sparkle GeForce GTX 650 Ti Dragon Series at 1080p.

The reduction in image quality helps improve the frame rate significantly, averaging almost 100 frames per second.
