Is Assassin's Creed CPU Dependant

Hello everyone it's ROT112, and i have just bought Assassin's Creed for the PC to gear up for the AC2 release and get familiar with the game and lore.

The game has been running great and i am loving it so far.

Though i am curious to know, does the rely more on the CPU or GPU. And what kind of performance do they rest of you get in the game along with your GPU and CPU specs. Thanks

 

Runs great on my g71. P8600 2.5ghz and the nvidia gtx 260m

 

i have a P-6860 as well but with a T8400 2.4 Ghz CPU, in dx9 i get around 20-25 fps average at the highest or near the highest settings, don't really remember though

 

It ran pretty well on my laptop (specs in sig). I think I had it at 1440x900 with medium settings. I was getting around 25 FPS avg, maybe a little less.

 

You can check it for yourself by disabling highest FIDs of your proco one by one with RMclock for example (in brief you underclock it) and then checking how it impacts your framerate.

On Batman demo, i underclocked my proco to the lowest FID 1,6 ghz and see no difference in the framerate. Conclusion : This game is completely GPU dependant.

 

I was noticing frame rates of 60 fps in my Rivatuner logs for that game under XP SP3 with the specs in my sig. All high settings at 1680 X 1050.

 

95% games are GPU dependent rather than CPU.

 

I ran it at 1280x800 IIRC on medium-ish settings, at about 25-30fps avg. I got slowdowns when riding the horse in the huge open environments though. Game looked pretty sweet too. Too bad it bored me after about 4 hours.

 

assassins creed is gpu dependent, like most games, but yes you need a minimum 2.2ghz C2D to play this game.
