Assassin's creed UNITY correct settings demonstrated: This game is FLAWLESS

[i_build_nanosuits]

Hey Guys!

So i just got fed up with people complaining about ACU running poorly and it being a poorly optimised AAA title...just watch this quick video and enjoy!

Feel free to comment i run this game on ultra settings and pinned at 60FPS across the board if you have a similar config to mine (i5 or better and GTX780 or R9 290 or better)

you should be able to run the same settings with ease...if your machine is slightly less powerfull just turn down some settings and test but FXAA is the way to go along

with VSYNC for a butter smooth gameplay experience:

Also before you say FXAA is crap it's blury and shit...try it for yourself and see i'm telling you i usualy HATE FXAA but for this game it's very well implemented and it looks

flawless...not blurry at all and no jaggies...it's just plain perfect i swear it's worth trying out and please feel free to link this video to ANYBODY saying this game run's like

shit and stuff like that because it's utterly NOT TRUE.

How does it perform with lower end systems? how do you think it'll run on a i5 with 760/280?

[Aniallation]

No matter what you pull out of your brain to say that it isn't, you will always be wrong if you say that AC:Unity isn't poorly optimized. 

 

Console port + Ubisoft = just asking for shitty PC optimization

[X1XNobleX1X]

 

The reason it doesn't run like shit is because it has been patched.

For weeks after launch the game was an unoptimized piece of shit.

How does it run so smooth?! Mine still runs like crap

[i_build_nanosuits]

hasnt the game been patched?

for some not so obvious and dark reasons my game is not patched i run version 1.1.0 guys...

i guess it will run fine on medium or high settings and FXAA.

i just proved to you that this is a fairly well optimised title that run's flawlessly on maximum settings...what else can i say?

Latest driver from both AMD and Nvidia improved the performance significantly.

i do have the latest drivers but i honestly played through the entire game since it launched and it always has been that smooth...MSAA kill the framerates even with only 2XMSAA but as soon as i discovered how smooth it run's and how beautiful it looks with FXAA i have not had an issue running this game on highest settings since day 1

(i in fact got the game about 3 days before it launched and even then it was running butter smooth...)

That still doesn't prove that Ubisoft didn't fuck themselves in at least one part or another with the NPCs. 

 

The game runs fine on maximum settings yes, but the optimization part is that it could be running better at the same settings.

i don't see how it could honestly the game is vast and beautiful and highly detailed don't forget this is an open world game with a lot of caracter interacting with each other all the time...

this is no call of duty and i still get upward of 80FPS across the entire game if i unlock VSYNC...what more can you ask honestly?!...even when RECORDING the gameplay i'm still pinned at 60FPS on ULTRA...come on!!

Recording doesn't affect framerate if you're using Shadowplay. Also there's some people who use higher refresh rate monitors which could definitely benefit from better PC optimization to get the most out of them. There's plenty of titles with good PC optimization that show this. Titanfall, COD:AW, CSGO

those are not ''better optimised'' games..they are LESS DEMANDING GAMES by there nature...less details, less interactions, not being open world free roming games mate

Assassin's creed is a sandbox open world and this CAN'T BE COMPARED IN ANY WAY with a game like call of duty...i'm sorry!

I never said that they are more or as demanding as Assasin's Creed. I said that the devs of those games actually put some effort into making it as good of a PC port as they can. The Crew is an open-world free-roaming game by Ubisoft, and it's much more optimized for PC because that's what more people are going to be playing it on, for once the console version of that will be a downgraded PC port rather then the PC port being a glorified console port. ACU was just a big dig into the console industries by Ubisoft with PC being a mere afterthought. There is NO denying this because that's the truth, Ubisoft has admitted to it and is now trying to "fix" their PC version issues.

When I first installed the game with no updates it stuttered like hell,  almost unplayable. I tried every Anti-Aliasing options...same results.. running 290x in Crossfire

 

Then I believe I updated to the 1.4 patch, and had the latest AMD driver (which was suggested to improve farcry 4 performance and it did)

 

I also followed the FXAA instruction provided in a thread published earlier in linustechtips.Now Unity runs very smooth.

i do own the crew as well and to be honest i'm not sure if the optimisation is any better because the game looks ridiculously bad and poorly detailed when compared to assassin's creed unity.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Their both open world, but NPC counts differ greatly, and can't really be compared...

 

I'm happy to say I can run it pretty flawless with the latest AMD Omega driver, bringing average FPS up from 30-40fps and spikes higher/lower,....to 45-65fps pretty consistently now.

And your right about FXAA, this is the only game so far that makes it comparable to SMAA in effectiveness.

 

The Omega drivers performance boost also allowed me to be quite playable at VSR's 3200x1800 (Hardly any unplayable drops) but a nice average 30-35fps, and I have not lowered detail yet.

yes it looks really good with FXAA where as most other games it looks funky and blury i almost never use FXAA but the implementation of this here is flawless IMHO...something that should be implemented in EVERY future PC games honestly...i'm tired of having to run 4xMSAA for the games to look this good.

It's a car game...

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your effort

you are very welcome!

I just played this game today on my Phenom II x4 960T and R9 290. It was flawless.

[ShadowCaptain]

I play at 1440p so I doubt I can run at those settings
