Watchdogs real bad lag pc

reconsnake · May 31, 2014

Running
Win 8.1

cpu: i7 2600k
gpus: nividia 590gtx 3gb
16gb ddr3 1600mhz memory

Runs ok for about a minute before starting to lag like crazy!
I've tried lowering all settings to the lowest, visual gets worse but lag is still the same.

Seems I should have the hardware for it?

I was looking into doing the watchdogs on my pc. From a random skim through, you need a well built pc. Yes idk, what the minimum requirement is.......AH i found you a link =p

read a few reviews, that game is not very done, maybe a few months away with sli drivers and game patches.

try dropping off everything that needs vram, i.e. AA etc. it really abuses vram, and so with only 1.5GB you'll suffer even though you've got the grunt. The guru3d tests show the usage. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/watch_dogs_vga_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,6.html
And SLI might be a bit broken right now.

The minimum req. should have the game running fine on low though?
My issue is that the game runs fine for about a minute EVEN on ultra settings.
The settings and resolutions can be set to anything and the game will run fine for a minute -ish.
Then bad lag, drops huge chunks of fps every 2 seconds or so. :S

It's very odd. I'm thinkin my gfx card might be broken?

Thanks everybody for taking an interest in my case btw^^

reconsnake :

I'd suggest that for the first minute it may not need to pull extra assets into vram, thereafter it does have to and regularly too .,

The game is not optimized for sli configurations at all. Your 590 is a multi gpu card that is why you have bad gameplay
