Watch Dogs: Legion PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
It's a 3700x. So, as usual, Ubi games are unoptimized on PC? Great.
Game runs fine for me. Smooth. 3700x, 2070 super, running at 4k. Zero issues so far, 2 hours in.
Have it on optimised settings though, so generally high settings and no ray tracing.

If any of you are looking for a decent bump in FPS and stability - set Shadows to Low, Texture Filtering to Medium / Low; this seems to decrease the rampant CPU mess up for me, smooth 75 fps locked now in open world
If anyone thinks 8GB on 3070 isn't a potential bottleneck in the coming years, apparently at 1440P (not even 4k) with maxed setting (no RT, no DLSS), WD Legion is exceeding 8GB VRAM

Well I figured out what it was. It's putting the game on full screen rather than window mode
I am also worried about Valhalla. I really didn't care about Watchdogs but I subscribed to UPlay+ for Valhalla. Might as well check out Watchdogs. Yeah, the performance isn't great.
Valhalla is the game I'm looking forward to the most this fall, and it's also the first AC I'll be playing on PC. I really hope it's not a letdown.

If Valhalla is anything like Odyssey then it will run just fine.
I asked this in the OT, but maybe this is a better group:
I got a free copy of this game from a CPU purchase; do I have to download / launch from Uplay or is there some way to get the Epic store to recognize the key so I can use the Epic Launcher instead of the Uplay launcher? I have so many launchers, do I really need to keep another!?

Don't expect the patch tomorrow to massively improve things by the way
Don't understand why people are paying over the odds for a 3070 when the 6800 is the way to go for that end of the market. At least in the UK anyway, the cheapest 3070 I could see was £520; the same price as the 6800.If anyone thinks 8GB on 3070 isn't a potential bottleneck in the coming years, apparently at 1440P (not even 4k) with maxed setting (no RT, no DLSS), WD Legion is exceeding 8GB VRAM

lmao even the games are straight up saying 8GB isn't enough. How will the eightgigaboos ever recover?
Is that usage or requested? I shall light the Darktalon signal to see if we can uncover the true VRAM number.If anyone thinks 8GB on 3070 isn't a potential bottleneck in the coming years, apparently at 1440P (not even 4k) with maxed setting (no RT, no DLSS), WD Legion is exceeding 8GB VRAM

Look at the screenshot of the summary screen. The game concludes: "Negative impact on FPS: low CPU performance, not enough Video Memory."
Yeah you need the Uplay launcher. Even if you bought it on steam or epic, you would still need the launcher.
Fine, let's assume that the 6800 is equally marked up as much as the 3070 is then. It's still the better buy, imagine spending £520 on a GPU with a pitiful amount of VRAM.
I own a 3080 so I can't talk about VRAM, only upgraded because of how much the 2080 was still selling for.
i7 9700K @ 4,9 GHz
16GB DDR4
2080Ti
3440 x 1440 with V. High settings. Messes around with RT and DLSS settings and can confirm that DLSS doesn't seem to do anything in this case. Maybe gain 2-3 frames, but that is it. FPS is ~40 with dips into high 20s.
Edit: Game uses 7 GB of VRAM with that res, V. High settings and High RT'd reflections.

Allocated or actual? Or just using that little slider in the menu that I'm sure is 100% accurate to memory usage for every scene in the game.If anyone thinks 8GB on 3070 isn't a potential bottleneck in the coming years, apparently at 1440P (not even 4k) with maxed setting (no RT, no DLSS), WD Legion is exceeding 8GB VRAM

I'll test it tonight myself, but it'll be a few hours before I can get to it.
Because you have VSYNC on, isn't it obvious? Your GPU can do no more work than it's allowed to by the number of undisplayed buffers. Turn on FastSync, your GPU will increase in utilization as you begin to render more frames than your display can output.
5.1 surround sound doesn't even work for me. It's running in 5.1 but I only get left and right channels so I can't hear any speaking. After quitting the game 5.1 is now non-working in Windows and I need to set my bitrate to another setting and back to get all my channels back. Only affects this game. I suspect it has something to do with handshaking like the hdr black screen bug. Can't play until patched...
Yeah, they haven't implemented this stuff correctly. The engine insists that HDR requires fullscreen exclusive.
You have a limit active, it doesn't necessarily have to be V-Sync, you could have used RTSS and turned on Scanline Sync and caused this just as easily.
RTSS cannot measure render latency unfortunately, it would go a long way toward telling you what is causing the limit:
Can't be actual because it was more than the amount of memory available on the GPU. Maybe it's requested VRAM.
I'll take a closer look in a sec, I will say changing to DX11 helped but I'm missing out on RTXYou have a limit active, it doesn't necessarily have to be V-Sync, you could have used RTSS and turned on Scanline Sync and caused this just as easily.

4K ultra, rtx ultra, balanced dlss and getting 50-70 in the open world. Driving can go down to the 40s. Not great, but playable with g-sync. Hoping the patch tomorrow gives a nice boost.

Pretty sure the reason Cars sound weak is cause they are all suppose to be electric cars, or atleast most of them are suppose to be.
Ok, so my settings are as follows:
Ultra preset + ultra rtx + balanced dlss, no other changes to the preset.
My average fps by resolution(built in benchmark):
1440p: 70fps
1080p: 70fps
...
720p: ...70fps
I have an i7 8700, 32gb RAM, and a RTX 3080.
Lowering texture and shadow quality to medium gets me another 7fps, but I can't seem to squeeze much more out of it.
I don't really know what to say.

Yeah, the game hammers the CPU like other ubi games
It does it less so in DX 11
The problem isn't even really the benchmark. The game runs much worse after the initial mission. Soon as you get outside or in a car it the framerate tanks. Ubi has said it's part of their hotfix so we shall see tomorrow.
The benchmark is POINTLESS, you can tell us what numbers you're getting but it's meaningless, try and play the game and report back because the benchmark isn't representative of the actually experience
Constantly stuck at 70% GPU utilisation, I hope this patch really "optimises" these gpu's to actually fucking work
Hahahaha

This was posted on pc gamer and I believe other outlets. Someone had posted a link a few pages back I believe too. These are a few of the problems I am having too. When you hop in a car it drops to 44 fps sometimes. I'm on a 3700x x 3080 running at 1440p.
Global performance improvements on PS4 for smoother gameplay/driving
Made several improvements to PC performance
Optimized performance to improve framerates for RTX GPUs
Fixed an issue that caused framerate drops to occur when characters walk through checkpoints
Improved the framerate performance when driving
Fixed a freeze when switching input controllers on PC
Fixed sporadic crashes on PS4
Fixed sporadic crashes on Xbox One/S
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when launched on a console set to TURKISH, INDONESIAN, GREEK, ROMANIAN, HUNGARIAN, VIETNAMESE or THAI languages
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash on Xbox One X when selecting a certain option in the Into the Void mission
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when browsing through the Premium Shop tabs on Xbox One
Yea...... Just tested all my benchmarks. For once, i feel like it's best to cap the game at 60FPS for all settings (4K, 1440p ultrawide, 1080p).
Has anybody seen any stuttering in their benchmarks? 1440p ultrawide benchmarks was a hot mess for me. I have a 3950x and RTX 3080.

I think GPU power is going to be an issue long before the VRAM becomes an issue. Something this game showcases very well and like you said this is a cross gen game. Even the 3070 can barely do 1440p at a decent framerate here, even without RT. If you want to max out games at 1440p 60fps+ then I give the 3070 a lifespan of about 2-3 years.If anyone thinks 8GB on 3070 isn't a potential bottleneck in the coming years, apparently at 1440P (not even 4k) with maxed setting (no RT, no DLSS), WD Legion is exceeding 8GB VRAM

In any case from what I've seen VRAM doesn't seem to be an issue with an 8GB card at 1440p even if the slider tells you it's using more.
Looks like I'll be skipping this one. It'd unfortunate, was looking forward to this game. Can't stand shoddy PC ports.
Welp I haven't been into PC gaming to long and with a beefy rig this hasn't been a problem yet. Watch dogs 3 is the first game to completely crash and give me the blue screen 😂 The game for some reason looks kind of blurry as well.
Will say I get better performance on DX12 than I do DX11 if I disable Core 0 - when I was monitoring the game, that was the one core that kept hitting up to the 98%'s, after I killed it, performance was more consistent in DX12; I get stutters in DX11 so that's a no go for me
