Another poorly optimised Ubisoft port?

spikerules · 1 Oct 2018 at 22:29

Got the gold addition of Assassins Creed Odyssey and the benchmark top is all over the place... randomly jumping from random FPS numbers like 25 to 60 within a frame...

On a 2080ti on max settings @4k (apart from the highest AA) I’m getting low 40’s. For a game that looks this mediocre I’m not pleased!

Edit - 2080ti with 8086k @ 5.2GHz btw

Its typical ubisoft shovelware.

Low 40's on a 2080ti sounds like a crappy port for sure

Hopefully it’s a patch thing. Not sure if the day 1 patch has been released yet.

As always, just because the slider is there doesn't mean it's a good idea to push it. Same as it is in every game, no matter how many 2080ti's you buy you won't get good performance if you don't know the settings. Game runs better than the benchmark sequence though, and is absolutely gorgeous. Its only visual fault is the lack of 4K textures tbh but that's a rare sight in any case.

This was the automatic setting the game chose for the card... I didn’t push anything. If anything I turned **** down!

Another purchase avoided. The gpu not the game lol

Yes it doesn't look particularly well optimized at the moment:

https://m.ign.com/videos/2018/10/02...sins-creed-odyssey-ultra-setting-4k-benchmark

At IGN the 1080ti was getting 42 FPS average and 2080Ti was getting 50fps average but there were certainly stutters in the benchmark

Edit - assume you had the latest driver with support for odyssey?

Yes latest drivers!

But not sure why they are getting better results than me...

Edit - I see they have HDR off will try that. Not sure how it effects the game that much. Also looking at the video my bench looks far more choppy.

Disgraceful i feel your pain

Ubisoft's idea of optimising is to wait long enough for future hardware to trivialise the load

Yup and it has also crashed on me multiple times...

That's not a bug it's a feature, increases the difficulty for a more cinematic challenge.

Yea surprise that they don't charge more for the such awesome 4K cinematic experience

If you look at Digital Foundrys review of the 2080/Ti they tested Assassins Creed: Unity
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-9-19-geforce-rtx-2080-2080-ti-review?page=3

We'll kick off with one of Digital Foundry's absolute favourites - Assassin's Creed Unity. It's a title that vacuums up both compute and VRAM - not to mention memory bandwidth when its depth of field effect kicks in during cutscenes (hence Vega 64's dire low-end figures - DOF lops off a huge chunk of performance there). The results overall are clear-cut. RTX 2080 does a remarkable job of mimicking the throughput of the outgoing GTX 1080 Ti. It's very slightly slower overall on the average, but improves on its lowest one per cent figures.

Meanwhile, the RTX 2080 Ti immediately presents its credentials - delivering a solid 30 per cent chunk of extra performance over both GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080. Playing this beautiful game on top-tier RTX hardware on a 4K display is quite the experience.

That's a 4 year old Ubisoft game that's only just getting 60fps at 4k!

So AC: Odyssey should get 4k/60 in about 2 more generations of GPU

Did you really say this looks mediocre? lol

Sorry let me clarify. The benchmark makes the game look mediocre but the actual game looks very nice. Lol

Simon Belmont · 2 Oct 2018 at 10:52

This new Assassins Creed game is awful. Yet another open-world RPG? Getting bored of these imho so no big loss. meh

Nasher · 2 Oct 2018 at 10:56

The game looks terrible tbh, they totally ruined the great looking combat AC was once known for. I guess it's a different dev team now through, the original ones were the same guys that made Hitman afaik.

But yea, Ubisoft just don't know how to make good games any more...
