Assassins creed origins guide drivers#
You can expect we will take the opportunity to make any tweaks which lead to performance gains in the upcoming updates."Īll of my current testing was done with the 1.03 patch, using Nvidia's latest 388.13 drivers and AMD's 17.11.1 drivers-which is an update from the initial testing I did at the time of launch. We are committed to taking advantage of any performance gains available with the new drivers to help players have the best experience they can in ACO with the hardware they have. Ubisoft says it hasn't used any Nvidia GameWorks libraries this time, and told us, "We have been working very closely with both AMD and NVIDIA for quite a while (and continue to do so) to allow us maximize performance on both GPUs.
So what does it actually take to run the game well? You'll need both a fast CPU and a fast graphics card to get the most out of Assassin's Creed Origins on PC, and Nvidia GPUs currently show substantially better performance than AMD's GPUs. I also had some issues getting Origins to run on several of the MSI notebooks, so I've included the GT73VR results in the primary charts. While I've previously used MSI's Aegis Ti3 as the primary test platform, it turns out that an i7-7700K can actually limit performance on the faster GPUs, so I've moved to MSI's Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC with a Core i7-8700K as the weapon of choice, with 16GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 memory from G.Skill. The Vega 56 and 64 are reference designs, however, as MSI has not yet announced or released any custom solutions. MSI provided all the hardware for my testing with its Gaming X graphics cards for most of the models.
