Extremely poor performance.

[Varlus M.D.]

I am having an extremely low performance with this game. Meaning 15 FPS average, with dips below 10.

Here are my system specs:

Intel Core I7 950 3.07 Ghz
16 GB RAM
Radeon RX 480 8 GB
Windows 7
Latest GPU drivers installed.
Running game at 1920x1080.

I ran two different benchmarks, one at High overall settings, the other at Very Low. There was barely any performance difference.

I am aware my CPU is outdated. However, I was not expecting this level of underperformance, considering I was able to run titles such as Shadow of War and The Evil Within 2 at a more than acceptable performance (Shadow of War particularly ran at almost locked 60 in High graphical settings).

Is anyone else having performance issues? The game is simply unplayable at 10 FPS.

It's your CPU, but it's not your fault. Almost everyone is reporting 90-100% CPU core usage for this game across the board. Hopefully they patch it soon.

I got a I5 2400 and run the game on high, not stable 30 fps but its running fine and not lagging. Its strange how your I7 has problems

I think this game has an issue with AMD gpus, I saw a thing where even the best AMD gpu got worse performance than a 1060.

Have to agree with the bad use of AMD cpu, although my performance has been fine overall my fx8350 is running at a constant 90% load over all 8 cores, running the game I on medium which is totally unacceptable, witcher 3 for example on ultra runs between 30 and 35%. This needs fixing asap, its caused one total freeze so far where I had to manually restart my pc. Fingers crossed they will patch this asap

Thanks for the replies people. I tried pushing all the options to their maximum settings and running the ingame benchmark again (in-menu GPU mem usage barely climbed) and I got pretty much the same results as if I was running it in Very Low settings.

This is really confusing me. I'm going to sound ultra noob here, but... it's like it's barely using my GPU and trying to push most graphics through my CPU cores.

Like I said, I'm coming from a very smooth experience in Shadow of War, I definitely was not expecting this. I am NOT running the game from an SSD, but this should not have this big of an impact.

I'll check overheating issues maybe? Very confused.

I've just capped my fps to 30 to see if there is a difference and my cpu is running at around 65% load now, might be worth trying. Seems the adaptive fps option just eats the cpu.

It does seem to be a lot more cpu intensive than gpu, but some games just are but they need to do something about it. I'm running a fix 1060 and the recommended cpu, so shouldn't have to run on medium with capped fps

go to chillblast and get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pc you bellend - you can pay monthly for a good one, then you dont have to ♥♥♥♥♥ on here about the game not working for your ♥♥♥♥ pc

I only downloaded it last night so all I’ve done so far is the benchmark and I get low performance with my Rx 480 8gb. Saying that, I do only have an i5 4590. I will try later withtweaking each setting, I was trying high and ultra on most

This is really not helpful, there is nothing wrong with op's pc or anyone else's who've commented on here, we can all run the game, its the cpu intensive setup that's the problem so please go and troll somewhere else

[Vex]

Disagree, 130++ FPS here.

It's not strange because his i7 is older than your i5 is. The game is super CPU intensive but that CPU is way too old to try and push an RX 480 in new games.

The i7 950 is from 2009. Think about that for a minute. 2. thousand. 9.

I agree, as I stated, that my CPU is outdated. However, it is very confusing for me to find that I am able to run new games such as Shadow of War or The Evil Within 2 at an acceptable performance (obviously not perfect), yet with this game I can't break the 10, 15 FPS barrier no matter the settings I use. Sure, AC Origins is very resource intensive and it shows, but it's strange that there's such a big difference with other recent AAA games.

[gamertaboo]

The problem is the game is CPU intensive. So normally in games like this you would turn the res down a couple notches maybe, put settings on low. Problem is that turning the res down will actually stress the CPU even more.

It's too bad you don't have a 1440p screen I'd be interested to see how it handled 1440p with low settings, might be more than 10 fps.

The game is CPU intensive but i dont think thats the OPs problem. Im having the same issues and my cores are barely touching 45% load whereas my Fury X is 100% most of the time. Apparently AMD GPUs arent optimized at all at the moment. Im going to wait and see what happens as its unplayable for now. FYI got Ryzen 7 1700X 16GB ram 4GB Fury X and owned only on Uplay so it wont show in my profile.

You have a brand new CPU that released this year, OP has a CPU that released in 2009, and you don't think his CPU is his problem? Lol

I'm certain AMD GPUs are also the problem, but I guarantee his CPU is part of it.
