Watch dogs 45 fps gtx 970?

[smeek14]

So I have recently downloaded Watch dogs.  My fps is much lower than expected.  In the streets I only get like 45 fps on the ultra preset.  In buildings it jumps to way above 60.  My CPU is an i5 4590.  My gpu is an msi gtx 970.  In Far cry 4 I get 60-75, and in Far cry 3 I get 75-95.  Can someone tell me a possible solution?

That's because w_d is optimized like shit. It's normal.

watch dogs is just that bad. dual 7970s, would get 140 in bf4, in far cry 4 using one would get 60fps. watch dogs medium settings i was lucky to keep it over 30

None... Game sucks, it's not optimized...

[Nexxus]

ya sadly it just doesnt run well, when I finished it it hated sli so turn that off if you have it but I doubt you do based on your title

[smeek14]

I watched some benchmarks on youtube and they got over 60 fps.

[Tim Drake]

Update it as much as possible. That's pretty much it

[Guest]

It's worse than GTA IV.

[smeek14]

This guy seems to be getting great fps.

Well I ran the game with the 970 I had for a couple weeks and I was getting 60fps in the city area sometimes. Are you running it with TXAA or something? TXAA is very taxing in that game.

SMAA I believe

Watch Dogs is one the most unoptimised game out there. So don’t expect good FPS on that game 

 

EDIT: Unoptimised means you might have a good Pc yet get bad FPS, you might have a shit Pc and get better FPS

So, I'm not trying to be a dick, but OP's framerate shouldn't be that bad. Simply saying the game isn't optimized isn't an answer to the issue.

Which V-Sync are you using if any (there's two settings), and what pre-rendered frame settings are you using?

mate, 2 7970s is not far behind a 970. trying to be realistic here, he may have to crank down settings, and that might not make a difference. 

 

OP, check your gpu usage/cpu usage.

I had a 970 and benchmarked that game. He shouldn't be getting that bad of a framerate.

very well could be the case, I was only on 680s where I couldnt maximize the settings due to vram.

im not saying its not possible, its also possible one setting is wrecking it. just saying not to set the expectations to high is all

[Guest Kloaked]

But what I'm saying is I maxed the game out (minus AA, used temporal SMAA or whatever) and I was getting over 60fps most of the time when I had a 970 for a couple of weeks.

 

That's also why I'm asking about other settings that he may be using.

I have v sync off. Ultra preset and smaa

from what I know w_d maxed out gives more or less that framerate on 970s.

It would help more if you quote me so I get a notification.

 

What about the buffered frame setting?

Except when I had mine, I could run the game fine.

maxed?

maxed?

 

Yes. Like I said, I had the game maxed out minus AA. I was using temporal SMAA or whatever it's called.

I have that at 5.

Would it help if I show pics of my settings?
