Ghost recon wildlands

Hi guys I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway. So I treated myself to a Gtx 1080 as a small upgrade to my aging 780 (vram was a problem). Imagine my surprise when starting this game and find I can't hold 60 fps at 1080p with resolution scale set to 150. Is this just due to lack of optimisation? I'm currently using a 2600k but I don't think that's causing an issue although it is installed on a spinner rather than an ssd.

I'm going to try tweaking the settings a bit, I know it looks good but I'm not sure it looks good enough to use that much power. I'm going to drop shadows to very high, not sure if I'd gain anything from ocing my CPU. I realise what the scale does, I was mentioning my monitor resolution as a point of reference, looking on Google it looks like there is a massive jump of fps between very high and ultra. It looks like the 1080 is about 20% faster than the 980 ti. I'll drop the res scale to 1.35 which is around 1458p and see what I get.

Have you tried the optimal settings in Geforce Experience?

Good point, no i havent. It reccomends scaling of 1

So having a quick mess around, ive got temporal AA and res scale of 1.3 to give me around 45fps. This was only a quick plan tho so that will probably dip lower in intense scenes.

Just as a matter of interest what monitor are you using and why the need to use scaling.
Andi.

It's a Samsung s27a950. I want to use scaling to reduce Jaggies.

What happens if you use higher AA settings?

I'm honestly not sure what gives the better picture, that was the main reasoning behind it. I suspect that it will be the usual trade off of whatever looks better uses more juice.

TBH it surprised me that it was so much more demanding than battlefield 1 then i remembered ubisoft lol.
