970GTX & I5 4670 is unplayabe for me

[BrightStar19]

Hi, Love the game, but getting massive variations in FPS, 1080 bench at high with shadows low and AA off, comes back as Low and its major stuttery. Tried at naitive 1440p for me, high with AA and shadows off - seems to hover around 45/50 (which i would be happy with) but its wildly fluctuating.

Is it just my GPU is getting a bit old, or based on other posts, are some people having problems getting a smooth framerate?

A 970 struggles with 1080p these days. So yea the game is demanding and the 970 is slowly showing its age.

I have heard somewhere, and it could be just heresay, but apparently anvil( the engine that AC Origins uses) does NOT play nice with I5's....i have a gtx980ti and an i5 4570, and just refunded the games cos the framerate was COMPLETE dogpoop :( shame really...da game looks great :).

Nope, nothing to do with i5.

Better not spread baseless claims.

No it doesnt, i run loads of games at 1440 without an issue.

Can only get "stable" if i drop to "low" and even then FPS is still all over the place. An interesting commonality, is that no matter what test - GPU seems to hover around 70-80% utilisation, while all cores of the CPU are maxed at 100%.

I think there is something more, is it offloading some tasks to CPU that should be running on GPU? Should be able to use gpu at 100% if it needs it

Sure, by lowering the graphics quality accordingly.

Look I ain't here to argue about this crap. Benchmark results from professional reviewers don't lie.

I'm playing with a 970 and an i5-4690 and I get a fairly solid 42-45 fps, drops to about 32 in cut scenes though.

Im playing with almost everything on high, with some things like shadows, AA and ground clutter on medium.

I'll wait for a patch - has to be something simple, i want to use the extra 25% GPU Lol!

Its not an argument, its a discussion :-)

I do play most recent games in 1440, and just switch of AA and perhaps tone down the shadows a touch and i can keep to a constant 60fps. Thats with the 970 O/C to 980 clocks.

Now, i have just seen a professional review, where they show a 960@1080p running high settings, getting much better FPS that i can achieve. So there is something wrong somewhere - Either with my system, or with the game engine, so there is more to this than the 970 is old

hes clearly a fanboy and blind to the fact that ac origins is a garbage port

Nice baiting.

i got the intel xeon e3 v1231 and a gtx 970 and i have all settings on the highest possible settings and the game runs smooth for me with 45-50 fps. just don tlook at the fps all the time, just play. if it feels smooth, it is smooth. (1080p)

hey op have you downloaded all recent drivers? also check to see if you have the recent windows update.

Not true, I have a 970 and I'm playing this game (on Uplay) at the highest settings with 1080p. The game runs just fine and I'm not experiencing any issues with it.

At a stable 60fps too? I doubt that.

fine and smooth dosnt mean 60fps. 45fps is smooth too. it seems like for me some people care so much about fps, that they stop playing if they see 59fps, not realising, that a 45fps game feels smooth too.
