CPU Bottleneck Watch_Dogs 2

N4D3R_ · Oct 29, 2016

I have a gtx 1080 but I have an i3-4130 processor that bottlenecks the fps. Do you think my computer can run Watch_Dogs 2 at 1080p max setting everything?

Game is not out yet. But your i3 is almost certainly going to be a bottleneck for a 1080.

I know that but can I run on ultra settings?

If you can return that 1080 I would. You need a CPU upgrade AND a GPU upgrade.

Buying the best GPU out and rocking a really poor CPU isn't a good idea.

If you can return the 1080 then buy a 1070 and a i5 cpu. You will probably end up pocketing some cash in the process as well.

Or he could save for an i5.

Yeah because buying a 1080 for 1080p makes loads of sense too.

If I was you, and had a similar budget I would go with a GTX 1070, and then get an i5-4690, or try to get my hands on an i7 4790. Just make sure your board can handle those CPUs if you decide to go that route, and if you can even get your money back for the 1080.

To answer your original question: No. Why you got that 1080 instead of a CPU and GPU upgrade is beyond me, but I would highly suggest trying my idea. I am 99% sure the 1070 should max Watch Dogs 2, if not on launch day, it should after a few driver updates and patches. While I can't be completely correct, I just can't foresee this game running that much worse than other modern open world games that I can play on my currently laptop (i7 6700HQ and GTX 1070).
