Assassins Creed III Thread

For now, it looks like both your CPU and GPU are holding you back.
My GPU runs at max nearly all the time (max settings +mid level AA), as does one of my CPU cores, the others are near 50%.
Theres no guarantee a faster CPU will help me as my GPU is maxed anyway, even less chance for you unless you use lower quality settings.
My fps range mostly from 50 to 60fps, occasionally dipping to 44fps.

 

Keep on waiting my friend, from my point of view the game runs smooth in Boston, 1080p, very high details with high shadows and AA, 40-60fps.
And that on a asus rog laptop with a core i7-3610QM, GTX 670M 3GB, 8Gb RAM.

 

I am getting around 20-40fps on mine, blah i guess its AMD problem with AC3.

Aside from Boston its very playable...

 

Still no patch for this game?

 

Performance is hit or miss for some. I had no issues whatsoever. Pretty much solid 60fps through the whole game (Vsync). Every once in awhile it dipped to like 44 for a couple seconds but was only noticeable if I was staring at the fps counter. Was always smooth. Every setting maxed.

 

This game definitely needs a patch and new drivers/SLI support as I tried forcing it to run on one GTX 680 last night and was surprised to discover that it actually runs better than it does with SLI. The framerate maintains 45-60 fps better and it doesn't feel quite as laggy plus GPU usage hit 98% at one point. With SLI, I see 50% per GPU. Clearly, there is some negative scaling with the existing SLI profile that needs addressing by the developer and NVIDIA. There's also flickering on the tessellated snow with SLI-enabled that isn't there when using one card.

 

I have an additional 680 coming today that came with AC3; ironic that the extra card may actually hurt performance in the game. Seems to be a common thread amongst some of the AAA titles - Borderlands 2 for example. Seems the guys complaining about the huge framerate drops are running SLI, while I'm at 60 fps 99.9% of the time on a single card.

 

18-20fps in Boston on normal settings. I'd be mighty pissed if the game didn't cost me a measly £17.

 

I really dont know how they have done thoses benchmark ( all other benchmark review show a 7970GHZ @ 1920x1080 is slower of a 660 ( non ti) )... maybe they have just use different AA setting.

 

Simply AMD is left in the dust in AC3. Any Intel/nVidia combination i tried it works noticeble better...what a shame.

Lets hope for patch and lets hope it will be very soon...

 

Is vsync broken in ACIII also because my card is taking off here even on normal settings?

 

Locked at 60fps max here.

 

No surprise really.

 

well Hitman isnt running that great for me! would be sad if either company has ruined perf on purpose. (tinfoil hat time).

i wonder is farcry3 nvidia done (cackles evily)?

 

No, this time is AMD sponsored.

 

argh runs off to cancel order...j/king ofc! :thumbup:

 

Smooth is obviously relative.

 

Lulz...

I just hope it'll run decently since day one, on nvidia as well as on amd...

 

GTX 690 here, and no SLI problems on my end. Everything maxed 1920x1080 and getting 50-60 fps, even in Boston. Gpu usage is 95-99% pr gpu. Using 310.61 beta drivers.

 

Yes but I'm using a GTX580 with mostly 99% GPU use and in boston, I get mostly 60fps, sometimes it hangs above 50fps, occasionally dips to 44fps.
Surely you should be hugging 60fps constantly if both GPUs are maxed out, considering you have around 3x the horsepower?
Something isnt right with your setup.
