On that note... AC: Odyssey and AC: Origins have a WMI thread that does nothing but sample CPU utilization from Windows constantly so they can give you a graph with CPU load %.
First time using Special K (current SKIF version linked on the official website) and I can't seem to figure out how to open the menu. :(
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking is happening, something unique to Ubisoft that makes the game behave in ways no other game does. A game built on last-gen Jaguar CPUs should barely wake up the fans on my system.
Did you also change the render API to D3D11? :) I don't support drawing my overlay in D3D12, rudimentary functionality (i.e. framerate limiter) does work, but I'm not in a hurry to draw the overlay. D3D12 games are unstable enough as things are.
Ohhh, I knew it would be something simple as that haha. I wasn't aware DX12 isn't supported for the time being. Thanks!
It definitely does something, going from off to quality reduces my GPU usage by 10-15%, going to balanced reduces it by further 5% and performance is another 5% reduction in GPU usage. Ultra performance reduces it further but it also looks super blurry with full of artifacts everywhere; performance, quality and balanced look the same in terms of clarity but depending on which one you choose you get motion artifacts, with performance having the most out of the 3 and quality mode basically having little to no artifacts.
After yesterday's AMD reveal, this is no longer up for debate. There is a reason AMD didn't dare to go below 16GB VRAM, even on their mid range card. No amount of "10GB VRAM is enough" thread bumping and MSI afterburner screenshots will convince me overwise. Game developers and AMD engineers know better what's required for next gen, not random forum people. Nvidia knows this too, that's why 16/20GB cards were rumored for so long and I'm pretty sure the only reason they didn't come out is because of RTX30 series production hurdles.
Went from average 45 off to average 66 with it on so it's definitely doing something.
I do. If I am on foot it sticks to 60Fps most of the time without any issues
Yep. 70% utilisation, when I turn DLSS off gpu utilisation shoots up to 85% but my framerate is still the same.
10GB isn't going to be enough though, it's on the lower end and AMD knows that
600 dollar mid range. 300-400 dollar cards are mid range cards.
Frankly, the situation is insane here.

I almost lost it when I saw that super compressed intro video that was pillar and letter boxed on my ultrawide lol. But yeah, extremely jarring constantly switching between the aspect ratios and general image quality...
Not interested in changing your CPU? 4c/4t isn't really up to snuff now, minimum recommendation would be a 4c/8t processor like a 6700k or a 3300x
Fair enough, makes sense.
