I've read about all the problems with the PC version of Mafia 3 and was very hesitant on buying it but it was only £19 on a website and I liked Mafia 2 so I said why not and bought it and i've been played it for a while and the recommended PC specs for it are
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel I7-3770, AMD FX 8350 4.0 Ghz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 4GB of Video Memory & NVIDIA Gefore GTX 780
Storage: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX Compliant Sound card
and my PC Specs are
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
Intel core i7-6700k @ 4.2 Ghz
16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
MSi GTX 970 Twin Frozr V (4GB VRAM)
and on highest settings (which is only labelled as "High") I only get around 45-55 FPS which is really annoying and I don't know if its a problem with my machine or just the game itself. I can get well over 60FPS Solid on games like GTA V on Ultra settings + graphical mods.
So my question is this a problem with my machine or the game and is there a way to fix it?
 
Solution
The game is really badly optimized and you pretty much have to run at reduced settings to get 60FPS at 1080p with a GTX 970. All you can do is either play at reduced settings to get a better framerate or wait for a patch to improve performance.
