    has the game severe performance issue been fixed or does it still run like crap on 7970m? and if it is fixed is it by game patches or a new 7970m driver?

    hey i played today watch dogs after maybe 2months and yes the last two updates made it a bit better and smoother,..but still i feel stuttering sometimes when i drive fast especially in town but not so often like before(i guess its maybe it consumes 2000mb on high which is very close of my 2gb dedicated i have)...Yes download the latest driver of amd i think i saw that they put a note that it improves perfomance in watch dogs

    Watchdogs runs like dog turd on my Crossfire AMD 290 desktop with an i5-3570K at 4.5Ghz, it is especially worse when the scene is changing rapidly. I've pretty much stopped playing it.

    Well CF could be causing the issue... Have you tried with a single GPU?
