Assassin's Creed Mirage PC Spec Requirements Revealed

[Denver]

I didn't know this. Must be something recent because the memory speed has never had so much impact on the performance, let alone gaming performance.
Do you have benchmarks to support your claim?



Usual benchmarks like this one:

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Benchmark

Intel Core i7-4790K Benchmark

Consider testing modern games using a single 16GB RAM module, especially on Ryzen systems; you might encounter noticeable stuttering issues. The problem will be less noticeable on low-end systems.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Benchmark

Intel Core i7-4790K Benchmark

These are not gaming benchmarks. Comparing synthetic performance doesn't make much sense.

Skylake quad cores were drastically faster than the Ryzen 1600 in many games. And Skylake was not a huge improvement over Haswell.
First gen Ryzens were not very good gaming CPUs. IPC was lower than Intel, and latency was significantly higher because of the CCX design.


And memory speed has a huge impact on performance when CPU-limited. It always has. Even DDR5 can make a big difference at high framerates and with ray tracing.

dual-channel memory requirement is absolute nonsense. I don't know who the clown is who invented this "requirement".

If you insist on running single channel memory, honestly your pc probably isn't a gaming pc, your pc will also yearn for death when doing anything slightly memory intensive.
I remember MW2019 stuttering to hell and back when running singe channel ram on my laptop (while running the highest textures), then I got a second stick and performance was vastly improved and the stuttering was completely eliminated

This, My old 4690K was faster than my buddies R5 1400 consistently. While typically newer AND more cores usually means better 1st gen Ryzen was definitely the exception.

First gen Ryzen didn't have lower IPC than Haswell, but it had relatively low clock speeds. Anandtech's bench has tests for many CPUs and the fairest one is SPEC as they use the same compiler for all CPUs. The 2400G is standing in for the first gen Ryzens even though it has a smaller L3. The scores are for SPEC 2017's gcc subtest. Skylake had better memory latency and that along with its higher clock speeds are the main reasons for it being faster than Ryzen 1 in games.

It's annoying that they always state far superior AMD parts, fo example Ryzen 5 1600 is 50% faster than Core i7-4790K.

While this is the truth, in this case if the game doesn't use more than 8 threads, it does make sense to put the 1600 in the same basket with the 4790K. Using the 1600 instead of 1500X that was mentioned or even 1200 (4 cores, 8 threads), makes sense because the 1600 is the most famous model, so maybe they used a model that people can easily identify without searching for specs. For example the 1200 that I mentioned is 4 cores, 4 threads, not 8 threads. The correct model in my example, should have been the Ryzen 5 1400.

I kinda love how reasonable those requirements are.

What surprised me was how small the game is compared to others.

Probably be a year or so before i buy it as i will wait until the DLC's and sale is on.

AC games kind of all look the same for the past 5 years or so. That's not a surprise.

Ah, they just remodeled Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla now in Baghdad. I will wait for the 50% discount.

Probably the above posts that I am also quoting should be a good speculation of what is happening. They take the game, change graphics and story, throw it out as a full new game and not as a DLC, make more money that way, by presenting the old one as a new game.

It's like PacMan in the 80s and all those versions of it that where just...PacMan with minimal changes and the same basic idea and gameplay!!!!

Isn't that what Nintendo's been doing for 30 years? Seems to be working for them.
