Low FPS playing Assassins Creed 3 on GTX 960

[Jamie_48]

I am getting between 18-25 FPS playing Assassins Creed 3.

PC Specs:

In game monitoring:

I have set all the game graphics to their lowest possible values.

Based on what I have read, this PC should be able to run the game with much higher FPS.

I found another thread that suggested turning vsync off, but the FPS dropped to 12.Then I set it to Fast, but this hasn't made much difference.

Could you help me understand why I am getting low FPS and what I can do to improve it.

Many thanks.

I think there's something wrong with the CPU usage.
Check your background programs. Who knows if there are CPU intensive applications (By that I mean bitcoin miners).
That game should be utilizing at least 80% of your GPU.

It looks like you are getting some CPU bottleneck. (Very high CPU load and very low GPU load) Do you have any large programs running? Or lots of startup programs?

Maybe even a video card driver issue. I would download DDU and remove all current display drivers and install the latest. Also is this the only gaame you are having problems with?

I'm playing this game on high settings and trust me my laptop's specs are quite low compared to you and I'm playing it at 17-20 fps without any lag . Quite satisfactorily .
Laptop Specs -
PROCESSOR - Intel Pentium Dual Core
RAM - 2 GB DDR3
GPU - Intel HD 450
OS - Windows 8.1 Ultimate

You should consider closing all background applications before playing the game and also update all your software drivers this will solve any driver or CPU related problems.

17-20 fps with no lag? 17-20 fps IS lag

it is a very cpu bound game, and yours is very weak
