Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag capped to 60 FPS!

Hi guys, so I just installed my two GTX 980s and I tried to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag with all settings maxed out of course. But I noticed that the FPS would always go only to 60FPS and not higher. Meanwhile the GPUs are incredibly understressed with 40-50% usage each. This might not sound like a problem but the framerate sometimes drops down to 40-45 when I'm free running in Havanna for example. VSYNC is turned off globally and also in-game. 

So do you know a way to improve performance for this game?

What is your monitors refresh rate anyway? And if you're @ 1080p 2 980s is a bit overkill...

Check your documents for an .inin file called assassin 4 or something and change the refresh rate see if that helps.

Not if you want really steady 144fps with highest settings...

Don't answer without reading my post. It's overkill @ 1080p depending on the refresh rate. If he is on a 60hz monitor then there would be no point to going over 60 fps making this problem obsolete.

No you said "And if you're @ 1080p 2 980s is a bit overkill..."

Clearly you have misunderstood, that was under the presumption that he is using 60hz hence the 60 fps cap. I said

Ubisoft's idea of 'optimization' is locking the maximum attainable FPS and image quality of a game to what the consoles can do.

 

Solution: don't. buy. Ubisoft. games.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
