I have got an msi r9 280x, an fx 6300 cpu and 8gb of corsair vengence ram. I have recently built my pc, moving to pc from consoles and i got these specs i have installed the gpu and motherboard drivers, i have a feeling it might be the cpus drivers, but i don't know where to find them. on watch dogs on low i get 36 avg fps, but i have seen people online get higher than that but at ultra settings with similar spec. im not really sure what to do and i was hoping you guys could help me out seeing as this website has linus' name on it,

HELP!!!

CPUs don't need drivers.

 

After a little bit of searching on YouTube, I found the following video from someone with the same setup:

I haven't played Watch Dogs for PC myself, but I know that it is pretty nerfed. You should be able to just crank everything up

to max, enable the hidden lighting effects and play at the same frame rates. Apparently, frame rates in the 30s and 40s are

normal. Just because the game runs slowly on low doesn't mean you can't try cranking up the settings just to see how it runs.

You been Pork'd.
