Hello friends , I am using sapphire r9 270x vapor-x gpu and amd phenom 2 x4 955 be ( overclocked to 3.5ghz) cpu along with 6 gb ram ! whenever i play watch dogs i face fps drops ! sometimes it's show 35-40 fps on high settings ( not ultra ) with anti analising fxaa! then it drops to 15-20 then after couple of minutes again it reaches to 40-42! is this happening because of bottlenecking ? others games running fine ! but In thief i am getting only 29 fps on very high! settings! I am using 14.6 beta driver with windows 8.1. what should i do ? Gpu tems is - 55-60 degree and cpu 55-60 on load .

Watch Dogs and optimization cannot go in the same sentence unless there is a negation between the two.

It's poorly optimized, and is clearly designed with the console gamers in mind. When you get poor FPS in a game like that, it's probably because of the game, not your computer. Try turning down the Anti Aliasing and see how well the game runs.

ok! but why i am getting only 29 fps on thief! generally it is an amd banner game ! it should run quite well in an amd machine! is this because of my gpu ? isn't r9 270x is good enough for gaming 1080p :( ?

Those old Phenoms were terrific chips at the time, but one of them and what is essentially an HD 7870 is going to struggle on the roughest games at 1080p at high settings. Your best bet it is to reduce the detail or reduce the resolution. Only if it's still an issue at that point would I suspect an actual problem.

Your processor and GPU are well-matched. Without evidence of an issue after reducing settings further, the most likely problem is you're trying to play high settings on high-end games that are poorly optimized. On games like that, you need higher-end GPUs just to essentially "brute force" your way to nice framerates.
