WTF is the deal with Assassins Creed Odyssey

TomR19 · May 12, 2020

The Framerate is 55-63 fps fluctuating in graphics settings Low to Ultra presets. Also I tried tweaking settings antialiasing but no change. In unlocked framerate vsync of. Its like the framerate is not directly link to graphics settings or resolution but is totally unrelated. Is anyone aware of this???

CPU-bottlenecked, probably due to DRM.

Overclock the CPU first. My 2600k gives similar results as you do but is significantly behind in multithread score.

AC: Odyssey is very CPU intensive, you are likely bottlenecked by your CPU. I've seen many complain about this same issue that have a similar build to you(most have a Ryzen 5 2600/ Intel equivalent or lesser CPU). You can try a few things to maybe alleviate the issue.

Overclock the CPU.

Set AC: Odyssey to High Priority in task manager.

Set your power plan to High Performance if it is not already.

Check for any updates regarding the chipset or bios.

Apparently the graphics setting regarding clouds in the game is a performance hog so try lowering that as well.

Play at a capped 55 to 60fps.

If all of these options do not fix the issue you may want to look into upgrading your processor, the rest of your system is up to date and should be fine for the game and at least the next few years. The two CPUs I would recommend are the Ryzen 5 3600 or the Ryzen 7 3700x either should help out with this game and give a decent boost on everything you play. Your motherboard should be able to handle either just fine with a bios update.

I initially had 16gb kit of 4GB DDR4 Rams sticks x4 with 2666MHZ speed but as you can see I upgraded to a 16GB kit pair of 8GB sticks with 3200MHZ Speed as I heard the Next gen ryzen CPUs will run better with higher speed.

Since changing ram sticks I have been getting worst scores on the Valley benchmark compared to ones before I thought I swapped the results.

Is it true that Ryzen 2600 is optimised for the 2666MHZ memory speeds?

Either way the Ryzen 3600 is on the way from AMAZON UK. I got it at a discount price of £152. It arrives on Saturday so I will let you guys know here if there is any improvement and I will also compare the Benchmark Results.

By the Way my Bios is on the latest update. I was tweaking settings in the BIOS and somehow I learned my it was not fully up to date so I downloaded the latest one on USB flashed it. Later on I learned I risked bricking my Motherboard for no reason but at least now I don't need to. It's on Dec 2019 update so should definitely support Ryzen 3600.
