http://www.pcgamer.com/assassins-creed-origins-performance-guide/ >Assassin's Creed: Origins just released, and we have our review in progress discussing the finer points of the game and environments. But what does it take to actually run the game well? I haven't had a chance to test all the hardware combinations I plan on checking, but I have run through nearly all the current generation GPUs from AMD and Nvidia. After the rocky launch of Unity and a year break for the team following Syndicate, I hoped performance on Origins would be better. Unfortunately, like the past few iterations, you're going to want to bring the heavy guns to bear. >For these tests, I'm running Intel's latest Coffee Lake i7-8700K processor on MSI's Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, with 16GB of G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 CL14 memory, housed in Corsair's Carbide Air 740 and powered by a Corsair RM650x PSU. Games are run from a Samsung 850 Pro 2TB SATA SSD, with a Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 drive as the OS/boot drive. The graphics cards are mostly MSI Gaming X models, with a couple reference cards for AMD's Vega 56/64. The complete list of GPUs tested is on the right.
