Best Settings For Assassin’s Creed: Origins – Boost FPS, Increase Performance

Assassin’s Creed: Origins was just released, and we’re sure you don’t want to play the game at low FPS, so it’s time to optimize the game to its fullest.

Since this is not a multiplayer game and it doesn’t feature competitive elements, having the lowest possible settings for higher FPS is not ideal. What you want is the right mix of visuals and performance.

As such, you should adjust the graphics settings in the game according to your preferences. These are just the settings that we use in Assassin’s Creed: Origins along with some overall PC tips as this game is very CPU-intensive.

First of all, make sure you meet the minimum system requirements and, preferably, the recommended system requirements.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins Graphics Settings

This game is better optimized for NVIDIA GPUs. So, if you own an AMD GPU, even the powerful AMD RX Vega 56 or AMD RX Vega 64, do not expect to get higher FPS than 60 in 1080p at the medium video preset. Even the GTX 1060 runs the game better than the RX Vega 64 at the time of writing.

The Anvil Engine, which is the engine that Assassin’s Creed runs on, is not that good at scaling with lower settings, so lowering your settings might not give you the performance boost that you would expect at first sight.

Also, keep in mind that Assassin’s Creed: Origins is very CPU-intensive, meaning that you need a proper CPU/GPU combination to run the game properly.

A handy trick is to use the Performance Tools in Assassin’s Creed: Origins by pressing F1 in-game. That way, you can see your FPS, CPU and GPU usage, as well as an overall score of your performance. Based on that score, you can adjust your settings.

Also, if you have an AMD GPU, be sure to disable HBCC as it causes a lot of performance drops for AMD graphics cards.
