Hey,
Your PC is fully optimized for complete gaming, therefore I would suspect that there is nothing wrong with your PC in general. One thing though, how much RAM do you have? You didn't state on your spec sheet.

I'm guessing that it's the problem a lot of people have been having with Watch Dogs; it's a poorly optimized game. Meaning when developers released it, it tends to lag even with the greatest of systems. I know people with i7's and Titans in their systems and they still get lag spikes.

I believe one fix is to go to the main screen, and change one setting under "Display" and "Texture Resolution", changing the Texture Resolution for some people has helped with the overall lag from the game.

They really need to patch the game or something, it's outrageous.

Hope this helps,

Watch dogs is a poorly optimised mess, I know you shouldn't have to do this with your specs but try turning it from ultra down to high, it should smooth things out a lot

Also, cool username.

I'd recommend testing with a different graphic hungry game such as FC4 or Shadows of Mordor. try them on max@1080p(VS off, not sure about AA) , if it still lags then it could be a issue. Check the GPU , CPU temps and the CPU, Ram usage while playing and in idle conditions.

Sometimes, turning down the quality of the game itself doesn't even help.

To get a feeling, how well your system is running, benchmark it with 3dmark (firestrike) and just post the link at the end of it.

I FREAKING KNOW THE PROBLEM -__- My ram usage becomes 90% for no reason The only thing i do is play game. Then some time my pc would lag like hell dont know the reason then i saw on Task manager my ram usage is 90% what's the reasoN?

Nobla_ · Mar 13, 2015

If you go to the Task Manager, under the Processes tab, you should see which programs are using up your RAM.

I did but there's nothing there only 64mb 85 mb some of my apps that are running nothing big like Gb

Nobla_ · Mar 13, 2015

Well if the game was running when you took that calculation (90% RAM), then it makes sense because Watch Dogs is a demanding game.

Have you tried lowering texture qualities?

When do you get lag? Throughout the game, or doing something specific?

Nobla_ :

not even on games. i think its not just the game. also i was browsing when i noticed the 90% i dont know how it ate my 8gb

Nobla_ · Mar 13, 2015

There can be weird spikes where your computer does end up eating lots of RAM (chrome is an example), so it might have been normal.

When you're playing a demanding game, try to limit yourself to just that game, therefore have no background applications running, as it might improve performance.

MEMORY LEAK HELP please thats the problem.

helpstar · Mar 16, 2015

Benchmark with 3dmark (firestrike) and post the link at the end of it.
