Hello Denis!

It's normal that the GPU gets hot at high usage, if you're worried about the temperature, raise the fan speed. But there's nothing to worry about.

Watchdogs is a very CPU bound game aswell, what's your CPU and how much memory do you have?

Also, Nvidia released a driver to increase performance in Watch Dogs, try to update to the latest driver!
 


Updated! The cpu is i5 3350p and 8 ram 1600mhz kingston
 
Before doing such drastic measures, try to update drivers.

That CPU should run Watch Dogs at 60 fps. There's plenty of fast memory too!

The problem lies on the GPU, like I said, update to the latest drivers and report back.
 


Well it runs it to 80 sometimes but only in closed areas on the streets its 40fps
