On Ultra settings, our Intel i7 4930K was able to push 50-67fps while driving.

Thankfully, some of the graphics settings can reduce the CPU overhead, however PC gamers will need a really powerful CPU in order to get a constant 60fps experience on Ultra settings.ĭuring our CPU tests, we lowered our resolution to 720p and enabled Temporal Filtering (in order to avoid any possible GPU limitation). In fact, Watch_Dogs 2 is the only game in which we were bottlenecked by our Intel i7 4930K. Watch_Dogs 2 is heavy on both the CPU and the GPU. As we can see, our hexa-core was used to its fullest in Watch_Dogs 2. The PC version was severely downgraded and was nowhere close to the E3 demo that Ubisoft showcased back in 2012. Fast forward a few years and here we are today with Watch_Dogs 2 a game that was not hyped as much as its predecessor, and a game that looks just as good as its initial gameplay trailers.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (turbo boosted at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest WHQL version of the GeForce drivers.


The first Watch_Dogs was a game that disappointed a lot of PC gamers.
