Could this be the start of a brand new generation of gaming?
0 fps?!?
As I was feeling confident, I kept all the graphical configs on the Ultra High preset.
That was a mistake; it quickly dawned on me as I went to launch the built-in benchmark.
I was done taking chances.
With the in-game controls making little difference, I quit the game and loaded up the Nvidia app.
Could it do the same forAssassin’s Creed Shadows?
I set it to its highest ‘4x’ setting, then relaunched the game.
MFG to the rescue!
I’m pleased to say it did indeed make a huge difference.
So, I upped the graphics preset to ‘Medium’ and reran the benchmark.
And that’s when the results got weird.
According to the benchmark, the game again ran at 83fps on average.
This was with ray tracing set to only appear in certain indoor locations.
Playable, sure, but the image quality increase wasn’t worth the performance tradeoff.
I was hoping to find a sweet spot between performance and graphical fidelity.
To start, you’ll need to force MFG on and keep DLSS on ‘Performance.’
Just look at Cyberpunk 2077, which is arguably just as graphically impressive, despite its older age.
