What fixed my stutter/fps-drops.
NVIDIA Control Panel. Love it. Love it. GPU-saviour.

I'm running the game on highest settings but started out trying too turn off AA ingame, there I had smooth fps but it looked 2edgy4me, pixely edges ofcourse. So I started fidling around in NVIDIAs control panel, under "Manage 3D Settings".

And now I run the damn game as it's supposed too run like. Sure, the game is still pretty glitchybuginfested but it ain't irritatin' no mo and I'm so enjoying the story.

Ingame options, no vsync, 1080, 60hz, ultramegablabla textures and enviroments, AA off (you can and might want too turn on fxaa after checking the 3D settings in Nvidias..)"

So under my 3D Settings this is what I currently have changed for acu.exe
Anisoptropic filtering 4x
Antialiasing - Mode: Override any application setting
Antialiasing - Setting: 4x
Antialiasing - Transparency: Multisample/or 2x
Shader Cache: Off
Texture filtering - Anisoptropic sample options: Off
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Clamp
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On
Triple buffering: On
Vertical sync: Adaptive

Yes, extremly tedious and isn't acceptable but hey, pcgamermasterraceright?

A steady 55-60fps instead off only turning the ingameoptions and be left with 5-60fps stutterjumps. Even with my rig, i7 4770k, 780ti.

Most of all, I get NO stutter in the "cutscenes" that were the absolutely WORST shait before.

I hope that AMD-users can do the same, I don't know, never used AMDs cards.

Ubisoft. Say that you're sorry. The devs feel bad for this. Patch it. Patch. it.

Can't believe I spent my first 3-5 hours with all that stutterutter...

List your specs, I'd be interested to see if these sorts of issues are commonplace with specific kinds of setups.

I love you, man
in a bro's way of course.....

I don't think those are the settings you want man. They look like higher end settings.

anyway, I feel like i'm getting better performance after exiting fps monitoring software. The game feels smoother. I think afterburner, fraps, interfere with the game.

"Even with my rig, i7 4770k, 780ti."

And 8 gb ram, it's mainly about the cpu and gpu.

Seems like the overall biggie with this was that no matter what settings we tried, low-ultra high the frameratestutters were still there, always. But now they're gone for me. Cause ofcourse people that still have good rigs, let's say, 5 years old should be able too run this fine.

But more or less it seems like 9/10 AAA-titles the last 1½ year share these issues, yes Ubisofts releases have been the worst. The reason for this is greed. They do hire amazing artist that surely know how too put together a piece of art but then the greed hovers above them with deadlines and such. The big publishers we all know about all do the same thing. Hire talents all over the world, and then throw in cheaplabour from programmers... As I said. It ain't the devs, it's money, it's Ubisoft. EA. etc etc etc...

If I'd have a older nvidia gpu but could still use the same control panel I'd try too switch the same settings but just lower em. The point is that we are able too fix it by ignoring the ingame settings that should work but doesn't, but telling your gpu instead of what too do ingame works brilliant. It's sad, but works. :)
YES. So... much... yes. Was stuttering on low now screaming on ultra. Thank you thank you thank you.

Man you are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god. At first my Laptop could barely run on medium settings, now it runs on high/ultra with no problem ! Great find. Can i add you for some CO-OP missions?:d hehe =]
Ascended X Nov 13, 2014 @ 1:52pm 
Sir, I'll give you a +1, if I could give you 100 I would. I did those settings and even with a GTX 770, my game is running SO, SO smooth, I mean it's a night a day difference.
Thank you!

♥♥♥♥ ubisoft this game was never working just like watch dogs
Blebloblep Nov 13, 2014 @ 1:59pm 
Wow. I'm suprahappy that this acually helped!
I'm starting too think that the biggest thing might be just turning "shader cache" off. Atleast one of the bigger issues. Just like with CoD: AW, turning the two "cache" options ingame off made the biggest impact.
LETAL.. Huehue... Hit me up with a follow on twitch instead.. ;) *whoremode* www.twitch.tv/g1sh

A big bump on this! I can now run Texture and Environment on max thanks to this, WITHOUT any stutter or lag.

Single GTX 680
AMD 8350
16 GB ram
Crosshair V Formula-Z

what if my gpu is not as good as yours (gtx 660) ? is there some of the settings that you have that i can turn off/lower while still being able to play without any stutters?
Arkaern Nov 13, 2014 @ 2:35pm 
Bump!!!
