AC Origins shows excessive CPU consumption.
AC Origins shows excessive CPU consumption.
In the tests I conducted, ACO consistently uses the most CPU power among the modern games I play. For these tests, I employed an i7 8086k overclocked to 5ghz across all cores and paired it with an RTX 2080 ti. I ran a combination of ultra and high settings. At resolutions of 1920 x 1080, my average frame rate was 115; at 2560 x 1440 it dropped to 104; and at 3840 x 1260 it fell to 66. With a GTX 1080 ti in the setup, the 4K performance was 61fps. If every game behaved this way, I would have spent $1200 for just 5 frames per second. This is the reality with open-world titles. Witcher 3 on ultra plus hair achieved an average of 190 fps at 1920 x 1080, 177 fps at 2560 x 1440, and 85 fps at 3840 x 1260—more balanced but still showing the same pattern.
It works for most things, but the unusual thing is how it handles some older CPU models well while failing others. I'll give it a shot.
Usually, you see a 5-10 fps increase when using dual channel memory, and spikes around 15-30 fps more in busy places like cities.
led to similarly poor results
This raises the issue of why? My friend has only one 8 GB RAM module, a less powerful processor, and still plays the game without problems. Meanwhile, my setup is having trouble achieving 40 FPS... So I’m not really aiming for a small gain in performance.
