Watch Dogs 2 performance issues

[hardtofindinthefuture]

I bought watchdogs 2, and it seems to run very badly and take up a lot of resources

 

My Specs:

Intel core i3-7100

8GB DDR4

7200RPM 1TB HDD

GTX 1050ti 4GB GDDR5

 

when i run the game at 1080p at low settings i get around

low: 30

avg: 40

high: 60

FPS

 

and MSI afterburner says my GPU is running at 130F, at full fan speed

 

Is this because of the game?

Is there any way to fix it?

I think Watch Dogs 2 is really CPU heavy, so it makes sense it doesn't run too well on an i3

watch dogs 2 is very heavy on the cpu. it's due to the very high draw calls, I don't think you can change that

Trash game with trash optimazation, i wonder how the hell GamersNexus was getting 30 fps on Ultra with 1050 Ti in Watch Dogs 2 in their benchmarks.

I stupidly fell for its sale price this week, having vowed to never buy a Ubishaft open world game again,

those shiny graphics got me, but after an hour.....Ubi-boredom set in

why do they make their games feel like work?

refund that shit

The game doesn't really play well with any setup.

Played it for an hour max - then never touched it again.

I refunded that trash, got Episodes from Liberty city

 

100% better game

Watch Dogs 2 is well optimized for GPU and looks gorgeous on ultra but it's very CPU intensive. My i7 6700 can't even get stable 50 FPS on ultra settings. However dropping geometry to high and shadows to very high helps a lot and I'm getting pretty stable 60 FPS with some hiccups and 100% CPU usage spikes. I've currently played it 52 hours and bought the season pass and it's actually a very good game. Great improvement from original Watch Dogs.
