Sapphire EDGE VS8 Barebones Model Review (8GB/SSD)

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, released on August 14, 2012, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Sleeping Dogs takes place in Hong Kong and focuses on an undercover operation to infiltrate the Triads.

We selected the lowest possible image quality settings at 720p.

We tested with both the built in benchmark and in the real world. While the benchmark shows unplayable performance, we found that much of the game ran quite close to the 25 frame per second sweet spot. If you are willing and able to accept a little drop in frame rate from time to time, it was actually quite enjoyable.

The game loaded much faster and seemed to suffer from less' juddering' also, thanks to the adoption of a fast Solid State Drive.
