Low FPS in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?

[GamerBlake]

So I’m currently running a monitor at 2560x1440 @ 144hz but for some reason I’m only getting 73-75 FPS in game?  

 

I know that’s normally decent FPS but with an Overclocked 8700K and Overclocked 2080 Ti shouldn’t I be getting better fps than mid 70s?

 

It seems like if that FPS was correct then people gaming with 1660 Tis & 2060s would only be getting like 30 FPS but I can’t imagine the devs would want that.

 

Is something wrong?

70 FPS is correct for AC Odyssey (Google reviews). Turn down settings if you want more frames. Also if you haven’t updated your drivers in a long time I believe there were some optimisations in an early 2019 driver.

This is a pretty common question here. Assassin's Creed Odyssey struggles to reach high framerates even on high end systems. It's a limitation of the game, not the hardware.

75FPS seems to be what is expected for 1440p with an 8700k & RT2080Ti.

Try playing some other games and some benchmarks like 3DMark timespy and make sure your system is performing as expected in other games.

All my drivers are indeed updated. Especially my GPU driver. Currently running 441.87.

Yeah for sure my other games my fps is solid and where it should be.

 

I had no idea it was the game and not my hardware.

 

I just saw that the Xbox S (or whatever it’s called) is getting 4K30fps and figured an 8700K & 2080 Ti should blow that out of the water since a 2080 Ti alone is far more powerful than anything in an Xbox, even the newest & most powerful Xbox.

 

Now I know it’s the game though. I hope they fix it soon since my computer should be able to get 144 FPS no problem like it does in other graphics demanding games.

Some games just can’t do that, for example Tombraider and Metro will also not break probably 60FPS.

 

 

since I built my rig I play EFT on 3440x1440 and I seldom break 100fps

But is that with a 2080 Ti? Because the 2080 Ti should be the best of the best.

 

Also you’re running at 3440x1440 whereas I’m running at 2560x1440 so for your screen 100 FPS would be like 120 FPS for my less demanding screen.

 

Then replace your 2080 Super with my 2080 Ti and it should give another 10-15 FPS.  

 

It just doesn’t make sense for a game to be made that cant be run even with the most powerful hardware out there at the time of release.

I have a 2080 Super, but the difference between a 2080S and 2080Ti is surprisingly small. The games can run with the most expensive hardware, and they're completely playable on less powerful hardware. You just drop a few settings. In AC: Odyssey, I was getting like 60-70fps on Ultra on the opening scene, I dropped it to "High" and "Very High" experienced virtually zero graphical difference, and gained like 15fps.

But as far as ultra settings..

 

Why even have Ultra settings as an option if even a 2080 Ti can’t run it above 70 FPS when most monitors these days are like 120/144 hz?  

 

Why not just make “very high” the top settings?

 

I always assumed a 2080 Ti & powerful cpu would run any game at it’s absolute highest settings.

The ACO Ultraspec Clouds Tax,. that ALONE in this game is ridiculous.
Whatever values they set in games sometimes for Ultraspec is stupid to me... especially these clouds.
Drop this down a step to VeryHigh or High, try again and please post the results (from in game)

You don't have to follow the idea of the video if you want to KEEP visuals.
But some slight adjustments for near to no difference (you'd notice) may be ideal for the situation... being this game and peoples expectations of Ubisofts Game.

They’re not necessarily going to tailor the game around PC hardware. Especially when it’s perfectly playable as is. 
 

the whole mindset that if any game runs under 144hz is garbage and unplayable is insanity.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is just strange.

The difference I get between 4k and 1440p on it is about 10 frames.

Here are my MSI Afterburner results on the same scene. 

At 1440p the CPU is working harder and seems to be bottlenecking the GPU since it never reaches the power limit.

At 4k the CPU is working less and the GPU runs at the power limit.

  

 

At 3840 X 1600 the average is 72 frames which is the same as I get with RDR 2.

The devs may or may not (speculating)

 

Use Ultra VALUES way higher than the current GPUs can manage for down the line with more powerful GPUs in mind.

Sounds counter productive but some would also see it as reverse...

 

Oh.. it really MUST be a beautiful game if that's the case...ULTRASPEC Req 3080Ti* in Future (*can't wait for that future hype train)

(pre-purchase thinking)

 

Plus who knows why they really do this without asking technical devs yourself.

 

ACO though... the CPU needs around villages and the taxing nature of the game in various locations is pretty obscene for Higher Presets.

Yeah so it looks like you’re getting about the same FPS as me.

 

Which makes sense since we’re both running 2080 Tis and only difference is my cpu is 8700K overclocked and yours is 8086K (probably overclocked too).

The i7 8086k is at 5ghz all cores and the EVGA XC 2080 ti was at the time + 200 on the memory and + 117 on the core with the power limit at 130%. 

 

At 4k in some areas the GPU and the CPU fans were so loud that the game was unplayable. I moved the game to my ultra wide rig that uses a EVGA FTW3 Ultra and with the extra cooling on the GPU the game was playable.

 

The game also uses up to 150 watts more power than normal games. I think this is because the CPU and GPU are getting a workout while my other games are mainly GPU with only one or two cores on the CPU getting a workout.
