Hello everyone.
I'd like to see other peoples' efforts to get a better experience with this game. Perhaps many different approaches work and it might be helpful for anyone to try what suits best. For example when I was playing ACBF I found about D3Doverrider which improved my gaming experience significantly... There has been a lot of talk about Watch Dogs, there might be several approaches depending on the hardware, details and acceptable frame-rates without stuttering issues.

I play on a gtx770, i5 quad-core and 8GB ram. Ultra preset, high textures (cause of 2GB vram) and TXAAx2. In game I have V-sync off but I use NVinspector and cap the frame-rate to 40. Its almost a steady 40 fps and minimizes tearing and stuttering. The game normally runs at 30 to 60 without V-sync but not smoothly enough to be acceptable. Most of the time is at 40 to 45 thats why I chose 40 over something else.

Any contribution welcome. Hardware, detail settings, fps goal and method that you used to do it! ;)

Not sure how this works, I see all kinds of different instructions referring to files that are not there, have you tried it?

 
Obviously it's a mod. A mod that just enables the settings Ubisoft disabled so that the PC version looks similar to console versions so that consoles can sell more.
