That aligns with my experience, got a I7 2600k at 4ghz, never had any issues with it until Origins. Thought that its finally time to upgrade... but its just a fucked up DRM.
So it went from not having that much of a noticeable impact on other games to 30-40% on this one? WTF
The saddest part is that ubishit will probably get away with this shit
I really hope they won't. Normally I am in no way against DRM, as long as the impact on performance or comfort isn't too bad but if this is true it's just way too much.
Shame, as I really like the game and was ready to buy it after my few hours with the "rented" account from plati but this shit and some reports that game saves won't work on another account keep me from it.
But they will... game journos can't risk stop sucking dick and risk throwing any shade back on to ubishit. What would happen to their precious previews and ctrl-c crl-v press release articles otherwise?
But bitching aside, the only way it would work was if ubi removed the DRM completely and someone made a thorough performance assessment of the game's performance pre and post DRM removal. But are you seeing *any* games journalism site doing something like that? Digital Foundry *maybe*, but even then we just know that ubishit is not going to remove shit in the first place

Great game. A lot of fun to play. The setting is great and has so much to do.
Might get burned out later but so far it's been good. Also, looks fantastic and Bayek is very likeable.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
@Yondaime: how do you like the story so far? What system are you running?
Sorry for the late answer.
The story is alright I guess, it's nothing special really (at least not so far but then I've been pretty completionist so I haven't really done much of the story yet (I think)). The story isn't all that important to me in an AC game but it does its job.
My system is:
Core i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz
8gb Vengeance RAM
GTX 980Ti
Windows 10
Game installed on SSD
It's amazing how far this CPU has taken me really. It's so old and I really do want to upgrade my motherboard and CPU (and buy new RAM so I can get MORE of it cause even though 8gb is enough for games thus far even at 1440p, it is starting to get sloggy in Windows with Firefox having +20 tabs ). But it's just not worth upgrading yet on the CPU front, this CPU is still relevant (but it is getting close I think). It's annoying but a testament to how good it was when it came out.
I have the same sys, but a 970 and 4,2GhZ at most.
I can just advise you to stock up that RAM to 16GB, I did so in January, old RAM like this is cheap on ebay...I paid like 20 bucks with shipping and open spotify, media player, chrome with 40 Tabs and play a game...
No more annoying 'Your system is running low on memory'-stuff or lag anymore.
20€ well ivested...and yes, this CPU and sys has been pure value for money...bought mine for like 240 in early 2012, always delivered.
At the end of the year, it will get its well deserved retirement...
The game is great and looks spectacular sometimes, it´s a mix of witcher 3, zelda, the phantom pain and a simplified dark souls series combat which doesn´t feel finished. It does worse than all the mentioned games in every aspect it copies them though. The setting works and makes it for the story so far, plus the main character is not 100% retarded.
Still considering a refund due to shitty performance/ubisoft and wait
I'm in Alexandria and I'm running it 60 & above with everything maxed out!! and a custom reshade/sweetfx that I made myself! it takes about 10-15 fps hit. Otherwise I'm averaging 80 and more when disabled.
Gorgeous game!! Hopefully a patch will address the unnecessary high usage so people with lesser hardware can enjoy it like they rightfully should.

You'd be surprised how far mine has taken me (C2Q Q9550), and still rolling!
Also, this Denuvo using 100% cpu isn't any news for me, I usually have to wait 40+ seconds after launching a game for Denuvo to do its thing before actually starting to play
Just to break it down into the bottom line, taken from that reddit page:
"this particular game code is executed, which game code is responsible for player movement, meaning it's called non-stop."
I had a look at the screenshot and thats how it appears. So you move your character, the gamecode calls the external library to check with the denuvo system that you're not a dirty pirate and then the game allows your movement.
That's taking DRM to a whole new level

Hi, I have the same CPU and my video card is a GTX 980 Ti. I dont use it anymore cause I have a gaming laptop. What video card are you using? Thanks Men.
They don't want to get shit pirated but at the same time they BLACKED all their customers so hard as a reward for paying for this crap. Can't believe how it works these days.
Be a good developer without agendas and make a good game and ppl will buy it. It's that simple.
Damn, Ubisoft have always been renowned for being the proud paladerpins of skewed DRM techniques aimed at punishing legit customers, but this one sounds like it takes the cake of maliciousness. I know absolutely nothing about coding so I can't decypher how things do work but it sure as hell sounds extremely shady.
Yo we heard you like being protected so we put one layer of VMProtect in your Denuvo so you can assassinate at cinematic framerate while we use your CPU cycles to protect Denuvo from the pirates laughing at it
