AC Origins is damaging my CPU.
AC Origins is damaging my CPU.
Evening all. My I7 6700K struggles with BF1 and I keep getting stuttering on AC Origins using a GTX 1070. I'm unsure what to do since even cutting back most programs only frees up about 90% of the CPU, which isn't enough for the game. Anyone know a solution for either of them? AC Origins seems to cool down a bit after a while. Thanks.
Task manager reports the game consumes almost every available resource, consistently exceeding 90% utilization. This forces other programs like Uplay to run at full capacity. Despite playing on Ultra at 1080p, medium and high settings don’t improve performance; in fact, the CPU usage seems to increase further.
In the early days of AC, that seems quite typical. I’m not sure what’s with the bf1 part, even at the highest settings like 1080p.
Someone is seeking an alternative to the official release, specifically a cracked version, since Ubisoft hasn't offered one despite it being available shortly after launch. It's regrettable that paying customers face a worse experience compared to those who download illegally. (Keep in mind that discussing piracy is allowed, but guidance on obtaining such versions violates our policies.)
