We’ve already seen the minimum and recommended specifications Ubisoft are telling PC gamers they’ll need to run Watch Dogs, but now developer Jonathan Morin has outlined the gear you’ll need to see it at its absolute peak.
We expect a lot of different specs to run the game at a high. But here are the ultra specs for the few who have them and ask for it...

...Ultra specs : Intel Core i7-4770K with a GeForce 780. The PC video was recorded on an Intel Core i7-3930K with a GeForce Titan IIRC.

AMD cards will be able to handle most of that power too. “The only feature not available to AMD is Nvidia TXAA. HBAO+, although developed by Nvidia, also works on AMD,” wrote Morin in a subsequent tweet.
If you’re wondering, TXAA is temporal anti-aliasing, which Nvidia say ”creates a smoother, clearer image than any other anti-aliasing solution by combining high-quality MSAA multisample anti-aliasing, post processes, and NVIDIA-designed temporal filters.”
Watch Dogs is out May 27 on PC, so you’ll be able to test your rig out then.
