💡 Watch Dogs 2: Still CPU-hungry in downtown San Francisco - keep Extra Details at 0% and Geometry off Ultra unless you have a strong CPU.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 39 FPS, at 1440p about 23 FPS, and at 4K roughly 13 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
