ok, so I've been trying to play Watch Dogs for a few days now and the game keeps freezing up on me for up to 30seconds at a time, I thought my computer was at least semi-decent enough to run the game, I can play Wolfenstein the new order without any probs

CPU: i7 2600k @ 3.4GHz (overclocked to 4GHz)
Memory: 8Gb (can't remember speed etc)
Graphics: 1 - gtx 660 2GB (main Graphics
2 - gtx 460 1GB for PhysX)

noticed using task managed that the game is using about 2.5mil - 2.9mil K memory (Private)
 


If you are getting lots of stutters, and massive FPS drops, then you may want to wait for a patch. Make sure your drivers are updated.

One thing that confuses, me, is the GPU you are using. You say you have a 660 and a 460?

yes, I'm using 2 graphics cards, one is dedicated to graphics, the other to PhysX, the gtx 660 will soon be changed to a gtx 780 which I have just bought, also upgrading my OS hdd to an SSD

 


Tell me if you still get this issue when you have just a 780. You shouldn't need a second card for PhysX.
