Got mine here:

Be warned that the panel warranty is voided, the only thing under warranty is the g-sync upgrade kit. I had no problems with mine, but let the buyer beware.
It's an awesome monitor for gaming if you can put up with the dreadful TN panel image quality. It's a 6bit TN panel so banding can be pretty bad after calibration. Also the black level is pretty terrible.
The plus sides are backlight strobing and no tearing while with v-sync off which also gives you the highest frame rate possible while still having the least input lag possible.
Come on it needs to be raining to get the atmosphere right.

Why oh why doesn't this have the cheats like you could enable in AC IV to lock the time of day and weather.

Very nice video!
Very nice. I am still in the section of the city where you start. I haven't been downtown or anywhere else yet.
I haven't done any story missions yet.
You guys sure play your videogames fast.

Hah. I have done maybe 6 or 7 story missions did a lot of collectible stuff. Invading people's homes is entertaining. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes mundane. As it should be.
Btw I also record with fraps, it works for borderless fullscreen without issue.

Mind helping a guy out with how to make such high quality gifs?
Thx. I should bite the bullet and get fraps eventually I guess.

My game is broken. I put everying on the lowest settings and the game still does this constant lockup for 5-10 seconds at a time BS. My comp is good enough, and has run the game on a mixture of high and ultra settings.

I just wish I could run this without it hitching whenever I drive somewhere.

What's the best way for me to be able to actually play this? lol

Not me. I can't resist Ubisoft open world games. But I always think they'll learn and be better next time as far as performance is concerned.

my setup is the same. I have my 2500k OC'ed to 4.1 ghz. I assume your's is also OC'ed?
Anyway. All my graphics settings are set to Ultra with the only exception being Texture quality which I've set to High, considering my (and your) 2GB of VRAM. This gets me a pretty consistent 40-50 fps!
When driving, it often drops to minus 40, but I hear that's a common problem........ *shakes fist at Ubisoft*
Oh and btw, I cap my framerate at 45 using Dxtory. This way my fps isn't all over the place and stays consistent. Much nicer on my eyes.

I was going to post my experience with SLI'd 1GB GTX 460s but it's largely irrelevant but still abbreviated version, VSynced at 60FPS at 1080p was of little issue with medium and LOD on high (might drop this back to medium with more play time) with MHBAO and forced 16xAF, I think I had a bit of room to spare to use AA which along with shadows (and reflections) are the things I usually turned down, I currently have AA off but I'll probably turn FXAA on when I get back to it.
The 768MB version probably won't have much problem with most stuff at medium at 30FPS.

Yes, a wired xbox controller. I unplugged it and it still didn't work with the keyboard.

Try out borderless window and textures to medium or high.

Switching shadows from ultra to high gave me a nice performance boost.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
i7 3820 @ 4.6
Titan + 100Mhz
16GB @ 2133
512GB SSD
Every single setting on max; buffer turned off. At 1080p, I'm hovering at low 50s most the time, with lots of sub 40 dips when driving fast. Running around on foot, though, and causing a ruckus keeps me just shy of 60fps most of the time.
This is now the third game on my list to not stay above 60fps most of the time with everything maxxed. The other two are Battlefield 4 and Witcher 2 with ubersampling.
The sub 50 feels okay, though I hate whatever bullshit mouse acceleration they've used. Ugh. Why do developers do that... I just want my mouse to work the way it does on my desktop. If they could fix the damn driving issue, I'd be pretty happy with the performance. I'm sure after another driver update, I'll stay at 60fps for the out-of-vehicle stuff.

I think I figured out part of my mega-stutter problem. My evga precision-x program was locking my frame rate at 30 like I thought. I think my GPU was overheating. When I open it on a nother screen while playing I can see it getting up to ~80C (and that's at 30 fps). With it locked at 30 The freezing isn't as bad but now I'm dealing with actual stuttering. I also noticed the stuttering was WAY worse when I ran the game on a refresh other than what my monitor is running (I have gsync)
call me crazy, but once i unparked my cpus, i was hitting 40-50ish fps constant on watch dogs.
this is on ultra textures, no DOF, emedium shadows and everything else maxed out with 3 gpu buffer and no vsync.
670 2GB, i7 930 and 18gb ddr3. game works perfectly and very smoothly

Has anyone noticed that the driving sounds are mostly coming out of the right speaker? At first I thought it was due to some quirk of my setup, but then I switched to my headphones, which are connected to a different sound card, and I got the same result (speakers are connected to onboard Realtek, headphones to a Sound Blaster Z). Really strange.
Unparked your cpu? What?

ya, it was recommended for Arma 3, which is also an open world and there was lots of stuttering, and it worked. so it seems like it works here too.

Yep, overclocked. Thanks guys, took all of this advice and it's running pretty well now.. But I'm capping my framerate at 50

780ti holding up well? may double dip, the 720p version is great, but i'd like to test out my pc.
Locked 30 (35 with inspector) with 2560x1600 (I'm downsampling) and everything on max except high textures and temporal smaa.
i7 4770K @ 4.4, SC gpu.

i only got an i5 2500k does that matter?
Everything on ultra except textures (set to high) and you'll have smooth sailing. Or textures to ultra and put up with some stuttering during driving (at least until a patch).
Either way certainly better quality than you'll get on console.

It's on steam right? I may just bite the bullet now.

Just get a uplay code from getgamesgo.com
Its 20% off and you have to use uplay in the steam version anyway.
Yes. But keep in mind that even the Steam version uses Uplay. But you can configure it to just minimize, auto-log in and auto-boot the game easily and you never have to look at it again. That is what I do and I can boot it straight through Steam in Big Picture mode using just controller and no mouse or keyboard

I'm currently in the UAE and bought from them just fine using my UK card. Ive also bought from them just fine multiple times when I was back in the UK.
Contact support if you're having issues but they support paypal, so just use that if you can.

I did too and haven't regretted it yet. It's a really fun game, no matter what it looks like.

Runs great with most everything on ultra, except when you drive or move to a new area, the stutter is terrible.

2-frame vsync is so weird on my PC.
With the monitor at 50hz it gives me 25fps, but with the monitor at 60hz it gives me 20fps. 1-frame vsync at 60hz gives me locked 30fps but not that console-style "smooth" 30fps; it's jerky and inconsistent and basically nasty.
It turns out running my monitor at 70hz has 2-frame vsync give me a smooth and consistent 35fps with no drops or jerkiness, and I'm finally happy with the performance.

So got in the game, get into an online hacking match, and my dude just starts randomly shooting, I'm not even pressing any buttons, guy spots me of course, dead... WTF?
I like the game but these bugs coupled with the online performance (not able to get into games) is just ridiculous.

I am actually pleased with how the game is running on my system. Stuttering happens only during driving, and it's not on such a level that it ruins my enjoyment. And I actually think it looks amazing. I'm playing with everything on Ultra (except textues), so maybe that's the reason lol.

I really hope they will fix those texture issues, because I can't stand to play the game with medium textures when my rig should be able to withstand high textures. SLI GTX 670 2Gb should be able right?

Sorry I'm not 100% but if it's overclocked a decent amount you should be alright I think.

Did you return your PC version? Hope you didn't pay Ubisoft twice for effing it up.
