Is Assassin's creed Origins highly cpu dependent?

[Anany Munshi]

Is it my pc or is Assassin's creed Origins highly cpu dependent? I have a R4600H, and it spikes up to 100% at times

Yes 

If you put the bottle neck on the GPU (such as running at a higher resolution and down sampling) You may end up with a smother experience.

I'll try that then, thanks

Yes, but not in the way most people think.

 

The modern Assassin's Creed games are basically old fashion CPU games that use a single thread to feed the GPU. The strength of that thread determines your frame rate. 

 

They also don't use the most affiant cores on an Intel CPU for this task making the CPU boosts pointless. So the only way to get more performance in the game is with an all core overclock. 

 

Here is what it looks like with an i7 8086k/2080 ti with the i7 at 5ghz all cores. CPU5 is doing the heavy stuff. 

 

The i9 10900k is stock so it loses to the i7. All other games the i9 wins. CPU11 is feeding the GPU on this one but the boosts are on CPU1 and 2 so the i7 with 5ghz all cores wins.

But why does the cpu usage spike up to 100% at times? According to my understanding the cpu usage is a metric of number of concurrent threads being handled by the cores at that point of time, if the gpu feed is single thread, I don't know why is the cpu usage this high

It may be because you are using a laptop with integrated graphics.

I only have Origins on my 10 core computer and it never gets close to 100%.

This is at 4k ultra.

Aha well actually no, I have ryzen 4600H and a 1650Ti Mobile
