Optimal configurations for Black Flag at 60fps on a 970.
Optimal configurations for Black Flag at 60fps on a 970.
Use high refresh rate, stable frame rate, and optimized resolution. Settings like low resolution or very high frame rates often cause drops. Avoid unnecessary presets that waste performance.
Do you have it? Are you experiencing issues? If yes, test it yourself and push it to the limit. Check performance using Fraps/MSI AB or your preferred tool. If you lack it, you’ll need someone with a 970 to help here—I can’t assist further. Next time, be clearer about whether you own the game and the specific problem you’re facing.
Maxu out, install D3DOverrider and turn on Triple Buffering, issue resolved. The game lacks triple buffering, which is why lowering to 58-59fps actually brings it down to 30fps.
I play the game at full capacity on my system (except for God Rays) and avoid those performance drops.
I higly doubt you can max out the game with your rig, at 1080p. Also: Look at the beginning and after min 6, that's tripple buffering.
Performance hit the lowest, around 45fps. Usually around 55fps. The biggest slowdown came from God Rays; turning it off fixed the issue.
It's tough to imagine a 270x reaching the peak of this game.
