No it wasn't, and the AMD issue was relieved as best as it could be. They ran fine.

And any AMD dual gpu card that was out at that time, which was many, had issues that persisted well beyond all the patches 

[Zeeee]

HAHAHAHA 46 fps 1440p with a gtx 1070 which not long ago was essentially a TITAN X lmaooooooooooooooooooo!!! WHY UBISOFT WHY? Why you keep digging your grave? 

 

Another game ill never buy and wait to torrent. Maybe not even worth torrenting if i have to lower settings on a brand new top of the line GPU lol so sad

LOL XDDDD It's like, if you take one single source instead of other tests from different sources since they all have different testing methods and what information they'll show you, you'll get different results. ECKDEE !!!  ELEMAYYOH #sw3g

If it werent the game then custom user made patches wouldnt have worked to resolve the issues.... I very well understand the troubles of dual gpu cards, but any game can be made to utilize the cards properly....

Can you show me the part where a mod fixed the FPS issues for your old GPU, or did it just allow the game to boot? 

 

These games from Ubisoft are mostly console ports, so they're going to have problems on older and unsupported PC hardware.

The second link fixed fps and stuttering. Was it 60fps? No. But i could comfortably play the game.

Always makes me shake my head when a new game is released and people complain that it requires a substantial GPU to run it well. Games are only going to get more demanding over time, even at 1080p. They're cramming more and more detail into these virtual worlds. It's a crazy amount of data and detail to render. 

 

It doesn't matter if 1080p is not considered that high of resolution these days. If there are substantially more objects and details to calculate and render in any given scene, it's going to be more demanding, period. 

 

Got a copy of this game free with the 1070 I just ordered. Once it comes in, I'll be curious to test it out. 

 

I can understand, some games really are crap, like the whole Arkham Knight and AC Unity situations, but some games just are simply demanding.

what about multi-GPU?

I don't believe there are any SLI/crossfire profiles included in the latest drivers.

there was a very small news that the game will have DX12 http://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-confirms-directx-12-support-for-watch-dogs-2/

at least some kind of scaling should be present even without profiles

profiles should only further optimize it

For NV they were released yesterday and they include SLI. Have it installed myself. Afaik latest AMD driver only has optimization tweaks.

1060 6GB smashes 970, they have officially started to gimp performance on older cards everyone!

Btw it's not related to VRAM becasue if it would be the FPS would tank and the 1% and 0.1% framerates of GamesNexus would show a big-ass drop, which isn't the case.

The 1060 was talked about being the 980 replacement, and besting it. Even reviews show this, so it's nothing new.

 

BUT MUH PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE AND GIMPING AMIRITE XDDDDD

Tbh that's even worse.

That means the 980 lost half it's value as soon as the 1060 released...

If i owned a 980 (thank god i don't) i would feel ripped off, a lot.

 

550 euros for a card that's less than 275 worth just over 2 years later (if you got it at launch)

If you got one a year ago that would mean you lose 275 euros in a year, just in depreciation of a graphics card...

We know pc components don't hold value well but that's just terrible.

 

If you can come up with an AMD equivalent between a 3XX card and a rx 4XX card, let me know

That's what happens when technology gets better. I own a 980, but I have more than two working brain cells so I know how things work. What, you don't want things to get better?

You don't like progress? You are weird man. Better tech at better priced, I thought everyone wants that. You say it like you want turtle pace tech like Intel is doing.

[Doobeedoo]

Well I guess it will get better though.

But 4K 60fps gaming I mean looking at this 1080p maxed at 60fps stable is goal

WOW arent you a genius? No shit games are going to get more demanding we all get that and we are all OKAY WITH THAT. But considering we know exactly what watch dogs 2 looks like based on a TON OF GAMEPLAY footage we are saying yeah the game clearly shouldnt be as demanding as it is.... its terrible.... you need a 1200$ titan xp to play over 60fps at 1440p are you f***** kidding me rn? The gtx 1070 does phenomenal in better looking games and gets over 60 in all 1440p games that look better than watch dogs 2 so that leaves us all to believe THAT ITS A SHITTY OPTIMIZATION JOB.

 

I dont know how DICE do it obviously im no dev but other companies should learn from them, they make games in which they can limit all the bs rendering that does nothing to improve graphical fidelity and focus on the things that do which makes their games aka bf1 look amazing and run even better than anyone can imagine. Think about this do you realize that COD IW is a terrible looking game compared to BF1 with smaller maps and smaller campaign maps even and yet it runs way worse than BF1... that shows you what  proper optimization is vs bullshit 

[AlTech]

Damnit Ubisoft. I was able to play Watch Dogs OG at Ultra or Very High at 40fps at 1080p and now you're telling me that I can't with Watch_Dogs 2?

 

Fuck off. I'm not gonna buy the game until the performance issues are fixed.

I've been playing it for the last few hours. It actually looks way better than the first one and I don't even have it maxed out.

Calm down, jeez. 

 

I haven't looked at any gameplay footage or screen shots. I'm going in with zero expectations and having heard nothing about the game. I also only played the first game on Xbox One for maybe 1/2 hour. Watching captured or streaming gameplay footage is not the same as playing it and seeing it on your own monitor in front of you. The image quality is degraded. I'm not saying this game shouldn't be demanding. I'm saying I don't know as I haven't played it myself and will withhold that judgement until then.
