I'd say the average is more like high 60s, but it does dip on streams and those are rather high computer specs. They're about in line with the creative director said, though, so no surprise.

Well I just assume cause they said they were lol. But just going by the pics above it doesn't look like it does anything anyway...

This is what he stated on reddit.
Without recording.
I have an i5 3570k @ 4.4 or 4.5Ghz (cant remember without looking).
Framerate is 60FPS Average, drops 50 regularly and 45 now and again. This is on the settings shown.

No they aren't.... They were posted before learning this. Only reason it looks better then most is its 4k.

there's a way to force triple buffering and vsync on 64 bit exe ? Radeon pro doesn't work....
In the first area, when happen the black out and he is in the bar with many people, i get 27 fps on a i7 860 oc 3.7 ghz.... on ultra detail...

Mine is doing pretty well. I got everything maxed out and txaa 4x locked at 1080p/30fps with a GTX 680 4gig on double buffering.
Ive been playing the game all afternoon on my pc, (4670k @4.2ghz GTX 780) with everything maxed out and textures on ultra the game stuttered badly especially while driving, I had to turn the textures down to high, and now the game is running smoothly with frame rates ranging from 40-60fps with vsync and triple buffering enabled, and everything maxed out except for textures.

Yeah the guy on reddit said, but he also said they're not his shots. Someone posted them from here on the site he linked in his post, so I think he just assumed they were using this setting.
Seems like an honest mistake

Damn the screenshots thread is gonna get some usage in a few days.
That water looks fucking phenomenal.
If the OT is to be believed, this game is using at least 5gb vram on cards that have it. What resolution are you playing at?

To everyone having a problem with triple-buffering and vsync in this game, the problem should be solved (as it was with AC IV) with a program called D3DOverrider. It's a bit difficult to find as it isn't bundled separately and instead comes only with certain older versions of Rivatuner, but it solves the issue.
Edit: Sorry, it just occurred to me D3DOverrider might have incompatibility issues with 64-bit programs, but it's worth a shot if someone hasn't already.

Likely because they game is an absolute turd when it comes to vram. 3gb+. Unless you have a 290x or Titan you are screwed
Can anyone confirm variations (of any kind) between nighttime and daytime?
Anyway, if this is barely above 60 FPS when just looking down a road, you can expect it to perform much worse if you are in the middle of an actual mission with lots of stuff going on.
The only thing that is confirmed at this point is that this is an engine that performs really badly. We still have to see how playable it is on worse hardware with lower settings (the hope is that it scales well and so turning off some insane settings could make the performance more acceptable).

5gb of VRAM for 4k*
It will likely take a few patches just like AC4.

i have it but works with 64 bit executable ?
Comparing these pictures to PS4 screenshots, I honestly don't see the difference. It's obvious to me though that the game all around was downgraded from its initial showing and not just the console versions.
BUT
Still don't care, I'm super pumped about this game to care about its resolution.

It's important to note that some people are playing leaked physical copies of the game, and others are playing pirated copies, dodgily cracked.
Still got those PS2 textures on the hand railing. lol
I'm sorry, I don't have the game yet so I don't know either way.

AC4 lowered VRAM usage with patches?
Appearently there's mouse acceleration on by default and there's no in-game setting for it, kill it with fire.
If anyone can verify then put that in the OP.

Someone checked it running at 1440 using 5gb.

People should check their processes to make sure nothing else new other than Watch Dogs is running while they play the game. Often there are surprises in early releases.

I have HUGE lag spikes while driving around the city, doesn't matter if the settings are at low or Ultra. I don't understand.
I have an Intel i7, 8GM DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 7970M.
This is disappointing. I think I'm going to cry.
Pretty sure AMD performance for single cars is bonked and nvidia performance for SLi is bonked. Everyone with AMD GPUs is having issues, a few people with 7970s/280s were getting worse fps on high then 680s on ultra

Especially for TPB. One of the youtube videos said one of the leaked torrents had another program running that killed fps.

nothing i tried D3D overrider, doesn't work, and radeon pro too. Damn! I can't believe we don't have tool to force triplebuffering and vsync on 64 bit executable!
And what is the best setting for max gpu buffered ?

God damnit, not again. I have troubles with Wildstar also. This is the last f*cking time I buy a AMD card. What a piece of shit.

Two more screens I took, in daytime with everything on Ultra @ 2560x1600.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Taken at SLIGHTLY different times, hence the difference in brightness in the sky.
That looks exactly the same. I think we can confirm that was a placebo effect! LOL
But those screenshots on the river were actually impressive! The water on this game is great.
did you try D3Doverrider?(if you don't know what it is, google it, and use it. better than 90% of official v-sync's anyway) They will never fix that type of official V-sync. They simply don't care enough.

Thanks, i tried and it doesn't work. Vsync in game is terrible, it doesn't work properly!
It's been awhile since nvidia has had an official driver update. I can only imagine one is imminent since they usually like to update for major game releases. AMD is probably a similar situation. At least for video performance, what people are seeing now probably isn't indicative of day one performance.

Huh? You can force vsync with your gpu in the control panel.
It figures....Im playing at 1080p game doesn't look as impressive during the day but at night especially when its raining it looks pretty nice.
Yep. Those one's in the OP are really nice, but they are just downsampled 4K shots. Resolution does make a hell of a difference. The water in this game is gorgeous.

The PC version only really looks amazing when its been downsampled from some really high resolution.
Peoples screenshots at 1080p still look kinda average even maxed out.

doesn't work with radeon pro, so it doesn't work with catalyst control center. I have a 7950
Last I knew D3DOverrider didn't function if you are using windows 8. Also I'm not sure if it will function normally with 64 bit applications.
They are doing something at least.
From the Wolfenstein thread, Andy is Nvidia.
Working on a Performance Guide for a specific game launching next week maybe?
Doesn't work with 64-bit applications, afaik.
