Assassins Creed Blakflag massive fps drops

[Utkarsh Rai-]

specs-
i7 4790k
16 GB Kingston hyperxfury
Asus STRIX GTX 960 4GB oc
Kingston 120 ssdnow300v SSD
windows 10

so I was just playing ac4 on this rig,
It runs at 60 FPS on ultra with anti analysing off, v-sycn on.
but it lags very often , like the screen goes still for a second , just still not low fps.

so what can I do to overdo this. any tweaks in the setting?
also the game is running from a HDD not the SDD that has the OS
I'm having this problem only in this game.

Barring no other problems like corrupt game files, which you can verify through Steam or Uplay, I'm willing to bet it's that the game needs a driver update for W10.

I'm waiting until Dx12 games come out before trusting W10 for gaming, and even then I'll need to see significant performance increases to make the move to it.

When new OSes come out, it's quite common that some games don't play well on them at first. Newer games yes, because they're made for W10, but older games can be hit and miss.

Take a look at what's being said about Gears of war Ultimate Edition and you can see that my points are echoing true on Dx12 on older games. It's running pretty badly.

I play both GOW and Black Flag and nothing like that has happened to me. I'm tired of people talking shit about Win10, dx12, and GOW. People just need to configure hardware and software better

Then obviously you haven't read that in GoW, it's primarily newer model AMD cards that are having issues with it. You can't just "configure" a card that isn't properly supported by it.

And older AC titles don't even support W10, so you have to play them in compat mode with earlier OS versions, which is not what I was referring to. I'm taking about when older games are made to play in Dx12. Especially when done using same engine, as with GoW.

I played Black Flag on Windows 10 with a 750Ti and it ran fine.

Not on Dx12 you didn't, and probably in compatibility mode for W8, or 7.

To a large degree, all most games are running on in W10, if they're older titles, is a previous OS compatibility mode.

That is not at all the same as trying to make an older game run on Dx12. There's a LOT more to that, esp when using an older engine.

I did not use compatibility mode, and since the games is not designed for DX12, it uses DX11. Old DX versions are still available. They don't go away.

Then you'd probably get better performance if you did, becasue the Ubi devs themselves recommend compat mode for older AC games.

Besides, my point was not whether games run in W10 using older Dx, but whether they run in Dx12, and that's completely different as I've said.

You're only validating what I'm saying, that W10 has to be backwards compatible because it's newer features are not designed for older games. Most have the sense to use compat mode though. LOL
