I think it may be due to the msaa 8x that the ultra setting has. But still, as long as other games perform well, you know that it is Saint Row's fault.


Yea i guess so.Even Watch Dogs hit 60fps sometimes but stays at 45 fps on high cause the game is terribly optimized for PC.

Is this the only game with this issue? What brand is your psu? Did you upgrade your components recently?


SR4 is the only game i have lag in.Other games like ac4 and bf4 doesnt have any lags and i get 60+ on ultra


Well Saints row is a game that has terrible optimization. Does it run with better fps on lower settings, or does it still lag?



I get 60+ on medium settings but when i turn it upto ultra i get 30-45fps.Meanwhile Assassin's Creed Black Flag and BF4 have no problems at all
