Just built a new PC and everything (Far Cry 3, Dirt 3, Just Cause 2, Bioshock etc) plays perfectly at maxed out settings and 4x anti-aliasing, except Watch Dogs -- I put it down to lowest possible settings, no anti-aliasing and still experienced unplayable FPS? My brother's 7970 card handles it fine on high settings, why doesn't my R9 290x??
Edit: this is all on a 1080p monitor

Any help would be appreciated!

Use this http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html
And follow instruction :

Reboot your PC in Safe Mode.
Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean.
Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected.

I have a GTX 970 and I noticed Watch Dogs plays like shit at high settings and looks horrible at low. My GTX 660 I never noticed or had this issue even GTA 5 on the 660 seemed to be more fluid. What the hell is going on?
