Watch Dogs: Legion PC performance thread

Patch does nothing for average fps, not sure about the stutters and 1% 0.1% lows. Here are the benchmark results V1.0 vs. Nvidia Drivers + Patch
1440 - Ultra - RTX Ultra - No DLSS
Average FPS: 50 vs. 50
1440 - Ultra - RTX Medium - No DLSS
Average FPS: 55 vs. 55
1440 - Very High - RTX Medium - No DLSS
Average FPS: 63 vs. 65
1440 - Very High - RTX Medium - DLSS Performance
Average FPS: 69 vs. 71 fps
Specs: 3800 / 3700x / 16 gb ram.
1440 - Ultra - RTX Ultra - No DLSS

Stop looking at the (worthless) benchmark. It was never representative of gameplay performance anyway.
Go into the game and drive around. It is vastly smoother for me now.
I'm getting 50-60 fps (1440p, DLSS Quality, Ultra). I previously had mayor drops below 40fps. That appears to be completely gone now.

3440x1440 everything maxed out + HDR, no DLSS (latest patch and Nvidia drivers)
The benchmark is misleading and does not represent real-time gameplay.
My benchmarks are good as well, get in-game and everything tanks.
3080 motherfucker! lol
Seriously, though, like I said earlier, the game's perfectly playable as-is for me. I might fiddle with the settings later when I can sit down and watch that HU video in full and see what does what, and see what Alex says, but I could probably leave it at Ultra and be happy with it.
I won't be picking up AC for a while in any event, so there's plenty of time to compare versions.
Patch made my performance worse. Noticeably so.
Was managing a steady 60 fps before it dropped, now it dips into the low 50's often

This is an ubisoft problem - their engine specifically, not a 3080 problem.
And this won't change simply because you go reaching for another platform... a platform that is considerably less powerful than a 3080.
I'm waiting for the comparison videos of these games running on "next gen" consoles with a setting or two running lower than low on PC and still not managing a steady framerate.
Update didn't do much. Can still drop under 50 while driving around. DLSS Balance 1440p 3080 x 3700x
There's more to the decision of platform than just performance and visuals. The more hours I intend to put into a game, the more likely I'm going to want to do it in the theater room (65" 4K, full surround sound) instead of in front of my PC (27" 1440p, stereo). I can pipe my PC to it, but that's limited to standard 1080p. So it becomes an argument of "1080p/60 max settings SDR" versus "4K/60 medium settings HDR". So yeah, I can get "better" quality on the PC, but I don't always want to.
Is that with Ray Tracing on? Wow that looks almost like poor cloud streaming quality.
Because it's the date Ubisoft gave to reviewers, to signal the big first patch
Game still runs like shit for me with new nvidia drivers and new patch... man i didnt expect that they would fk it up again... im scared for valhalla
Well I mean that just seems like you've spent mroe money on your TVsetup than on Your PC setup. You'd probably get more mileage moving your PC to thatsetup if at all possible.
Personally I've been using my shield to stream my HDR Pc games to it. Also my Main PC setup is way better anyway. i've got a 32 inch ultra wide, so in terms of screen to FOV it beats my 52 inch TV from 7 feet away by a long shot. Id need like a 150 inch TV to match it, lol.
You should really focus on cpu bottlenecks and how to reduce cpu load in your video. The main issue people are experiencing with the game is that they are getting bottlenecked by their CPU. Was really hoping that HUB would raise this and recommend some cpu settings in their latest video, but this was not the case. My poor 3080 is getting bottlenecked by my 9700 all the time while running around on the streets :( :( no way to get a stable 60 fps. and those stutters are visible even when g sync is on
CPU bottleneck settings: environment quality setting + geometry quality setting + turning on or off DXR. Those are your CPU scaling tools. I talk about it a bit, but not a lot because there is not a whole lot of CPU scaling in the end here.
As long as the stuttering is resolved, g-sync can handle the rest for me. Will report back later tonight when I have finished work.
I would expect it. AC is notorious for dogshit optimization on pc.
It did. While average performance didn't change in the benchmark.
Driving around is a lot smoother for me.
I was getting random drops into the high 30s. Now I'm staying in between 50-60.
Game is still CPU limited for me though and going above sixty (worst case) while driving impossible, even with reduced settings.
But it is in a playable state for me now, with VRR tech.
Your Ryzen 2600 CPU is the reason your frame-rate is capping at 45. This game is very demanding on CPU's.
Is there a way to check the version on Uplay or In game? Don't think it's a placebo, I drove around a bit and 0 Hitches which i'm happy to see. It was still dipping a bit in frames but I think that's more normal as it's loading the game world. Now to adjust settings that are crushing my CPU.
I'm very curious to see next-gen console performance in this game. Do we know if those versions have a 60-fps mode? Top-of-the-line CPUs not being able to hit consistent 60 fps even on low settings is just flatly unacceptable.
In my settings my reflections option is greyed out and stuck on medium. Anyone know why?
I'm running 3700x and 2080 Super.

What about ultra textures? The game says it is very cpu demanding. Is that true?
If you have RT set to ON, you cannot adjust the reflections setting. YOu have to turn RT off, then adjust the reflections setting, and then turn RT back on again.
It does not have a great performance impact with RT on as it controls SSR with RT off (but nothing with RT on) and also the resolution of real time cubemaps. The resolution of real time cubemaps is not super expensive as I found... Ultra to Low with RT on was about 2-3% performance at 4K.
I wouldn't be too worried. Yes, the two latest AC games were pretty demanding for their relatively low graphical fidelity but they were nothing like this shit show at all.
I played Origins and Odyssey on a 1080 at 1440p, High/Very High settings, 60fps
Legion I get average 45fps on a 3080 at 1440p... (6700k, so hopefully a 5900x will fix a bit) But still, this is way worse imo.
