Watchdogs pretty much unplayable with GTX 470 and an Intel i7 970 | Forums

Similar situation. I'm guessing it's a CPU issue as we have similar CPU's (I have a 970). What's your average FPS approximately?

I just start the game to see how much fps, and this is the answer:



Now I don't have lag during play but still freezing for 5/6 seconds, becomes unplayable.

Get a new computer OP your pc is ancient relic

It's better than the most recent architecture..

That FPS is from low settings correct?

What did you overclock to?

Does the FPS stay constant at 75 or degrades to maybe 20-30 fps and then it freezes? I think this is mainly a ubisoft optimisation problem.

Hopefully there is another patch and I don't have to buy a new PC ....

Yes, all at low, just the cpu is manual oc at 3.6, vga is overclocked by default.
Goes to 70 at 80 and, when the freezing stop, start from 20 and return to 70, 5 sec allright,5 sec freezing, allright, freezing.

Yes, I hope they do something because with this Pc I can play without problem BF4 setting at medium and, in this game, there aren't total destruction like BF...

Wow, that doesn't really happen to me. Must be unplayable for you as well. Do you notice audio stuttering? If so, have you tried switching the SFX audio off?

@popstart: It's a 470 which should run decently.

Hy,

I have GTX 470 and i5 760 both at stock and I can play the game with 40+ FPS on lowest settings possible..

How can I turn off the SFX audio?

Freezing start approx 5 min after I starting play.
No, audio keeps going without blocks when freezing.
It would seem like a "buffer overflow", there's something goes full/out of memory imho.

Damn, what the hell? you have an i5 760 vs. my i7 970 and you get better fps? what is this BS.

Anyways, you can turn off SFX volume by going to the audio/language settings and turn SFX to 0.

@qwerty: Have you tried playing around with the max frames buffered settings? I honestly have no idea how that stuff works...

Yes I have tried but I don't know what is this, and nothing change

I saw people saying that they are playing the game on i3 CPUs and on laptops...So I guess the problem is from your PC..
