Ohh that's interesting. Haven't seen this in a PC game except for the swapper.
Can't wait to try the game this evening on my 4570 / 970 setup, doesn't sound too bad after all?

I didn't do a lot of setting tweaking, but the intro at least played better than it likely would have done on my PS4 and I only have an i5 2500k, 8 gb RAM, and a 4 gb 760. The rest only just now finished downloading, but I won't be able to play it now because I have to go teach a class in like 4 hours and need to sleep.

Well I bought the game.
FX8350 black
8gb ram
GTX580oc 3gb
Will post back when the game gets released but if it's good on multi cores then lets hope!

Although the VRAM may be maxed there is no stutter. Ubi have done really well with this port.
So pretty sure my rig could knock this outta the park (with the CPU being the main handicap):
intel 2500k 3.4 non-oc
radeon hd 7970
16gb ddr3 1600 ram
1) will that cut it for pretty awesome visuals? want to do better than the ps4 counterpart.. i'm currently torn between ps4 and pc.
couple of other questions though:
2) how's the port quality? is it worthy in terms of polish, controls, etc?
3) if i bought the pc version as a physical release in stores (say in a B2G1 deal at target this week
), would i be able to link that copy to steam or uplay?

So it appears that more than 2 GPUs is an issue at the moment. But maybe that is fixed with ver 1.2.
Again I realize my machine and the guy I quoted are a very very small minority. However there may be people lurking the thread or non members who have similar setups so I try and give a heads up.

Well, i'm getting 60fps almost all the time with slightly OCed 970 and 4670k (i hoped for lot worse tbh) , thing is.. LOD pop-in is really,really bad..i really hope they fix it , without breaking fps on the way. For now it seems there is no difference between low and ultra high environment detail setting and it kinda puts me off a little
Can you confirm if your running it with the patched version 1.01?

I saw a PC stream yesterday. The streamer tested a few setting with his 970 gtx @ 1080p
On Ultra Settings with FXAA and no Vsync he was getting around 35-55fps (35 fps in areas with a very high npc density)
On High Settings with FXAA and no Vsync he was getting around 55-60fps (again ~55 in areas with a very high npc density).
Let's take take the 55-60 fps on high settings as the basis for our next steps.
@1440p a graphics card has to render about 70% more pixels then on 1080p. Because of that I assume his gtx 970 would achiev ~30 fps minimum in that resolution on high settings. (wilde guess!)
A GTX 970 is about 50% - 60% more powerfull then your GTX 670... so I doubt you are going to reach stable 30fps @ 1440p with your PC.
BUT you will reach stable 30fps @1080p on high settings. And this will still look better and play better then the unstable 30fps/900p PS4 version. No need to buy it on PS4.
At this point I'm fully convinced that you guys are just trolling

That's quite amazing considering the Xbox controllers are the ones with official support. Would definitely use my DS4 over 360 controller if all games replaced the Xbox buttons with PlayStation's classic shapes, etc, even though I'd be going from wireless to wired.
What? What the hell would I be trolling about?

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
This gives me hope.
Will try it out when the game launches here.
Was gonna go console, but i think i can get the game to look better than console and hopefully be a playable 30fps.

Yes , it says 1.1.0 in pause menu.

I wonder who's in charge of determining Minimum and Recommended Specs for games. Seems like Unity's perfectly fine with less than the 'minimum requirement' of a 680. I mean, 1080p and 30+ with mostly High settings is hardly slumming it.
Anyone know whether Origin is going to allow pre-loading for this? I've never bought an Origin game before release date, but they can't expect you to only start the 50GB download the moment the game goes live, right?

Good morning, GAF, here's my Assassin's Creed Unity Graphics & Performance Guide that'll show you all the tech features, and covers performance and 'optimization': http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/assassins-creed-unity-graphics-and-performance-guide
Me too. I stayed up all night for this, dang it. What gives, Ubisoft...
Edit: Just unlocked.

According to a Community Manager in the Ubi forums there will be a preload option, at least for EU countrys. But the game releases 2 days later in the EU then in the US so...

Since your here Andy, any word of a better SLI profile being in the works?
Thanks for the guide BTW. Will take a look.

Why don't you just oc your course? It is super easy with a 2500k. No point having the k if you don't.

Thanks a lot!
Does someone see any difference in shadows between low and high in that comparison? Or am I just blind?

Duh, "will my 780ti 4770k combo work?"

To I honest I know where he's coming from. I have the same combo and AC4 was a bit of a nightmare to get 60 fps and v-sync.

So do you still have to use DS4Windows? Or does the game pick the controller up without it?
I've noticed that in the .ini file, Tessellation is turned to =0, even though there is no setting in game to enable or disable it.
As mentioned in the text, Low only differs from High over long range.
Nice guide, in depth. Now just get my 3 Titans singing in harmony
At this time I think you're better off with 2 in Paris, where the majority of your CPU is going to be powering the city simulation, e.g. http://www.vg247.com/2014/11/11/assassins-creed-unity-includes-a-10000-npc-scene/
Thanks, checking out.

Mine did that. Close uplay and open it up again and it will be back to full speed.My Unity install got to 88% and has been there for hours. Downloading at 6.7 kB /s

Ah Ubisoft, you are so predictable... don't change Ubi, don't change ...
actually they should, this is such BS!!
Depends. Tons of variables, and Maxwell is better at tessellation than the already-good Kepler.

Haha I'm in the same boat.
yea i have a 970, getting 45-80 fps with everything on max and fxaa @ 1080p

Assassin's Creed Unity Graphics & Performance Guide is up!
Should be added to OP, IMHO.
Good overview as always by Andrew.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do it. I bought the k version with the intent of keeping my options open if I ever did want to oc it. Thinking bout aiming for 4.5 if i do.

How's the frame pacing with a limited frame rate? I've got a 970 and was thinking of throwing on all the eye candy and locking at 30, but if it's a stuttery mess it kind of defeats the purpose.
CyberPunked

So far the SLI for this game is better than any other Assassins Creed game and Watch_Dogs, but it could still do with some work!
Averaging about 40fps at 4K with most settings maxed and only getting 80% GPU usage isn't the best.

I'm confused. This says that GTX 680 (which is somewhat better than my 670, albeit mine is 4GB) should basically set everything to low.
Yet in the previous few pages people are claiming, all reassuringly-like, that a 670 should be fine at 1080p 30fps on "high" based on some videos.
I guess we'll see the truth soon enough....
