Bad optimization?

[Director]

Been playing the game a bit and at certain points of the game, my fps drops a little (not super pretty sights that are taxing on my rig either). Maybe 30-40 fps. Game usually runs 60 but I have a pet peave with this.

My computer should be able to max out the game completely
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor 3.4 Ghz
GTX 660 Ti

Easily enough Ram, the whole shabang. Could I just chalk this up to "Eh" optimization? Can I sleep easy at night again? I remember Conviction was horribly optimized. Was hoping that Ubisoft might've learned from it but I guess they've got somethings to work on, the game hasn't been out for a while afterall.

It's a demanding game, no doubt about it. But maxed out... wow. Stunning. At 2560x1440, with two GTX 680's, I'm getting about 30FPS on average. But the game still feels smooth. It doesn't feel jittery.

Also, unlike a lot of people, I really love the look of TXAA. I've got that setting maxed out. This new form of AA is the best I've ever seen.

Really 30 FPS? Maybe it's the res. Lol playing at 1600x900 so pretty big res difference. I'm just sort of chalking it up to bad optimization as a lot of the times when the FPS drops, it's just in like some random area like a hall corridor.

I have same configuration, and sometimes fps just caping at 20, and settings do not do any difference!

Have a friend running a AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor 3.4 Ghz he went to c:/documents/ubisoft/blacklist and opened the videosetting file found the line Occlusion_Off=2 and changed the 2 to a 0 went from 20-30fps up to 60+ seriously give it a go this one setting was making his cpu run @ 100% all the time which is why changing graphics settings wouldnt do anything

OMG YOU DON'T SAY, that's the Ambient Occlusion, you can disable it in game, it creates real time contact shadows to make everything look good and it's demanding in any game that has it.

TXAA is usually pretty demanding, I'd switch that out for SMAA or even FXAA.

660 wont be able to max this game, with the dx11 features are really demanding, TXAA will suck your fps away so gotta use FXAA, Same with tessellation your 660 only has a 192-bit interface while 670/680s have 256bit interface that is where DX11 features will slow u down. All the data is going thur a smaller pipeline on a your card. Also 660s arnt made for running games at 1080p either with all the dx11 features tacked on. 1600x900 ant 1080p but its up there.

He right, Nvidia Gefore Experience keep telling me to use TXAA 4x knowing my GPU can't do TXAA at all because of 192bit Nvidia GTX 650 Ti Boost 2gb. FXAA = 60fps but TXAA 2x look better but i take FXAA with 60fps over TXAA with 20fps anytime.

I had the same cpu and problem with Occlusion, but my fps would range 30-60 with it on and 60 with it off. then my fx 8350 eight core cpu came and then the fps problem got worse. maybe its being botlenecked by my two gtx 580s. either way this needs a patch
