My current rig:

i7 3770
ZOTAC NVidia GTX 760 2GB
8 GB RAM
1360x768 monitor.

I run Watch_Dogs at Ultra setting with High textures and it runs fine at 35-50 fps.
But when I run it at Ultra textures, the frames dip to 20-35 fps.

Sometimes, when entering a new area, there is a huge frame dip for about 2 seconds even at High textures.

Considering that I'm running it a such a low resolution, is it normal? Or is it a case of bottlenecking?
 
Solution
Watch Dogs isnt that well optimized, and there are known lagging problems with Ultra Textures.
I suggest you look up The Worse Mod, it fixes the Ultra texture problem and also enables hidden graphics options which brings the game in-line with what was shown at E3 (They nerfed the game for consoles... for shame Ubi).

Solution
I was playing everything maxed (except maybe AA) with the Worse Mod just fine on my rig. Cant say I know what FPS I was running at (I still need to find myself a desktop FPS widget, that functionality has disappeared from Afterburner it seems) but it wasn't bad (I start to notice under 45fps).
