Started playing it and after 20mins I'm thinking if I should continue playing it.

1. I don't get it what's with the uber demands for performance, this game is poorly optimized. What's with the shine, it's everywhere, hair, floors, clothes, tables, etc - it looks cheap!

2. The gameplay is bad, very bad - playing with a gamepad, you just need to keep RT and fwd and the character can climb mountains. It feels fake, superficial and i don't like it. They altered the gameplay with ever AC released.

At first, when i read all the whining around the thread, I didn't want to believe it but:

its never that simple when you are comparing consoles to pc's.

Yeah, pc's are more powerful but also have extra layers to deal with.

x360 had the equivalent of a 6600 gt and yet you couldn't play the majority of x360 games on that gpu. same with cpu's of that era. try playing late era x360 games on a pentium 4.

yeah it's called optimization
somehow apple managed to do that as well with shit hardware, on their iphones and tablets

and 360 has equivalent to radeon x1950, 6600gt would be slower, besides we talking abou cpu's not gpu's

sorry to disappoint but even this cpu is not the case why his performance is fubar, ps4x1 have half power of x4 Wink


Exactly. with this cpu i ran Far Cry 4 at low settings at 30-40fps. DA Inquisition at low/medium at 30-40fps, BF4 at medium settings at constant 40fps, and many other 2014 released games without a problem. Just AC Unity runs like crap running below 20fps (15fps when too many NPCs are on screen) in ultra low settings

nobody says the game isn' badly optimized, but doesn't change the fact that your cpu can't deal with the current state of the game.


you can look up the cpu charts for the game. AMD cpu's are not doing great.

that's the reason its a bad choice for the game.

you offset badly optimized, cpu limited games by adding more cpu power, or you wait and hope for performance patches.

there's no other way around it.

same principle applies. you can't compare raw power of consoles and PC's.

both cpu's and gpu's on consoles have fewer layers to deal with.

Genuine problems with the PC version are few and far between, but one area we pointed out in the Face-Off deserves more exploration - our observation that the use of AMD graphics cards seems to create a much higher CPU load than utilisation of Nvidia equivalents. This week, AMD released a new beta driver optimised for Call of Duty. We saw a boost in frame-rates compared to our measurements taken last week, but the underlying problem remains - and you can see the phenomenon in action in the video below.

f you have a Core i3 - or an alternative offering much the same processing performance - paired with an enthusiast AMD card, the game often hits CPU limits during both cut-scenes and gameplay, resulting in a collapse in frame-rates. It's a state of affairs only amplified by playing with v-sync engaged. In the here and now, we'd rank the AMD R9 280 as the best 'bang for your buck' GPU on the market. It outperforms its Nvidia equivalent - the generally excellent GTX 760 - and it offers an extra 1GB of onboard VRAM on top. It's usually cheaper too. However, owing to the CPU load issue, its performance is considerably throttled when paired with the i3 in Advanced Warfare, to the point where demanding scenarios actually see it bested by Nvidia's sub-£100 GTX 750 Ti.

We saw the same results on both our Core i3 gaming PC, and also when we disabled two cores on our i7, downclocking it to simulate an i3's capabilities. In both cases, the Nvidia cards' performance barely saw any difference at all. Basically, if you're using an AMD card, you'll need a more powerful CPU too - the i5 2500K in the recommended spec, for example.

why the hell not

ps4 cpu would be equivalent to amd x2@3ghz
gpu would be amd 7850
the only fact is current consoles were outdated before they were released and that's why unoptimized turd like acu can't even keep fps in 30's just like advertised, while cheapest cpu from intel i3 parred with gtx760 which can be considered as a current mid range card can do that, then again it will stutter due to fps spikes so it had to be locked at 30

Its because propaganda like this that we have 600 bucks midrange gpus, and shitty unoptimized ports sponsored by the Nvidia .

I strongly disagree, and if you do some googling on the topic of api layers in console vs pc, you might change your opinion on the topic.

Yeah I think to any non biased individual, its pretty clear that nvidia and intel are currently on top.

I for one, would be happier if AMD was more competitive, especially in the CPU market, but it is what it is.

In a way, its good some people consider both intel and nvidia evil corporations (no matter how silly that sounds as all corporations have the same agendas and goals and are equally "evil")

as if we all just bought the best, it would not be good for the consumer Razz

My comment was on driver overhead. Has nothing to do with who makes the actual game or how optimized or not it is. It's been recently observed, albeit inconclusively since we only have 2-3 examples that AMD GPUs need faster CPUs compared to nvidia's to get the most out of them.

AMD themselves made Mantle to combat overhead so it's not like such a thing doesn't exist in the PC world.

What needs to be done is more testing and if it proves real to call them out for it hoping they will fix it.

As for their cards being crap, hardly. They are great (well generally speaking - right now I wouldn't recommend them over a 970) but there are several software downsides which might or might not concern you. You still have to disable Catalyst AI to play Doom 3 with Sikkmod. Laughing
