I read Assassins Creed Origins and realized it might not be ideal for me. My GTX 1050 struggles at 720p high, but I think 1080p with low or medium settings could work better. In theory, higher resolution should improve clarity, though lower settings reduce detail. I thought resolution mainly helps with anti-aliasing, but I’m unsure if it really makes a big difference.

In-game at 720p resolution appears clearer, but scaling it up to your monitor's native size can result in poor visuals and increased input lag. Improvements have been made recently, though many 1080p LCD screens still look subpar at 720p. It’s easy to adjust settings and compare results. If you have a 720p or 1366x768 monitor available, you’re set to play.

Sticking to your monitor's native resolution in about 90% of cases will enhance the game more than increasing settings at a lower quality. Each method offers its own visual character, so trying different options can help you find what fits your preferences, the game, and your hardware. You may succeed with a blend of low to medium settings, especially if certain games have graphics that run smoother without noticeably impacting frame rates. Check resources like this: http://www.game-debate.com/news/23973/as...enchmarked. Lower AA, shadows, and environment details matter, and boosting textures can be a solid starting point. Keep experimenting to discover what works best for you. This approach focuses on balancing compromises for the experience you want. For a demanding title like AC Origins, I doubt a 1050 will match the enjoyment of a 960 with full power. I’m hoping your system has at least 4GB RAM, as having only 2GB might limit performance with higher-resolution textures.

Choose what appeals most to you. For me, I’d prefer a lower resolution of 1080p over a higher one of 720p.

It seems your monitor isn't delivering smooth performance at 720p, especially with native settings. Switching to 1080p low resolution might stabilize the frame rate. Try different resolutions and see which works best for you.

WTFF, the system requirements say medium to high FPS, but it doesn't specify exact numbers. The mention of 30fps with high settings is good, though not ideal for smooth gameplay. The resolution and refresh rate details are clear, but the graphics card info isn't listed. Your results show a specific configuration that should meet those needs, but you're still unsure about the exact performance expectations.

It works well for a TV and displays clearly at higher resolutions. If you're unsure which one looks better, it probably doesn't really matter.

I'm just trying to understand why the PS4 handles this game better than my PC, haha!

The system specs provided are often misleading. AC: Origins demands significant performance, making it challenging on most setups. The PS4 offers marginally better graphics than a 1050 but doesn’t support PC optimization; consoles run games tightly tuned for their hardware, which explains the performance gap. If you're considering it, start with the lowest settings at 1080p and adjust gradually. For smoother play, disable volumetric clouds, reduce AA, and boost other elements to medium. Trial and adjustment will help.

I handle videos at 1080p low or 768 high, around 30 to 40 frames per drop, just trying to figure out which works better
