There is actually a setting that lets you reduce CPU and GPU overhead, it also reduces temps of both substantially as the workload on them is lower.

Great news for anybody who still cares about the game, or is just late to the party, like me: update 2.0.0 brought us the Vulkan version of the game (GRB_vulkan.exe). The performance gain is massive. Using a DX11 version and the HUB Quality preset, I was only getting 56 FPS minimum and 81 FPS average in the benchmark, and dips as low as 47 FPS in real conditions. Couldn’t say it was comfortable to play. Very inconsistent. Then I switched to Vulkan and now it’s 98 FPS average, 60 minimum, 54 FPS absolute worst dip. CPU usage went down in many scenarios. GPU load evened out. Hardware: Core i7-3770k, GTX 1080 Ti.

Is there any Graphics improvement between the beta compared to the final release? Because if there isn't, IMO this game is one of the most terrible graphics implementation in years. Bad textures, poor animations, awkward water simulation and the list goes on. I really hope to be surprised when I run this final version of the game, but, today, I really doubt that the graphics fidelity you've mencioned is really that "amazing"

[@TheCivicsiep3]

I agree I though that it looked like a graphics downgrade from wildlands which was shocking to me and the bugs I ran into were egregious I couldn't believe Ubisoft didn't notice the motorcycles floating above the ground of running into invisible walls idk im pretty disappointed in breakpoint honestly

[@Ragssssss]

You guys probably played on 1080p medium - high settings, try it on 1440p - 4k on ultra settings, this game is prettiest. Try Texture quality to Ultra. But I gotta agree driving is pretty lame and glitched, I mentioned that in their feedback survey after playing beta, wheels of two wheelers are like ship floating on road, it's actually funny lmao I laughed so hard when I first saw it on beta, otherwise game is amazing and graphics too are best.

What is the performance gain from using a HUB mug?

[@Kevin-sg5xc]

I have my game configured to run at over 100 fps at 1440p in the forest (using 80% resolution scaling) so when you fight in the busy populated areas, the fps drops don't go below 60. This is especially noticeable when zooming in and out with a sniper scope in populated areas. The fps spikes when zooming in to snipe someone quickly were really frustrating.

[@peterjansen4826]

If I remember correctly GRW also was broken, now it runs fine on much more powerful hardware but back then the performance was bad and that with non-impressive graphics in my opinion. ACO looks good but despite that it would run a lot better if Ubisoft would optimize better, like using Vulkan.

[@utubby3730]

I actually think peoples opinion on what optimized is has changed over the years. AC Syndicate could barely do 4K30 on the then flagship 980ti, yet the launch of AC Odyssey you could do 4K60 on a 2080ti. Surprisingly the opinion is stronger (or certainly appears louder to someone who frequents various gaming and tech forums) that Odyssey is worse performing vs Syndicate. This video is even titled as such to suggest that Ubisoft is just rubbish with “another Ubisoft fail?”, admittedly, like the last ghost recon, performance in this title is choppy - and for how nice it looks in places, it looks very rough in others. Having said that, other than ghost recon, Ive had a good experience with Ubisoft titles, both Watch dogs I could play at launch at my native res while holding 60fps on a single card (2560*1600, and 4K respectively), The division 2 also runs well for the visuals on offer.

[@peterjansen4826]

@@utubby3730 Not to mention AC3 and AC4 which literally were unplayable with an AMD-GPU outside the consoles for months after its release. With an HD 7850 and i5-750 I couldn't play AC Revelations without stutter caused by the Nvidia smoke. The same for Far Cry 4, I first had to clear all the enemy camps and then the stutter would disappear and I could play the game in the ordinary way until the second part of the game started. I don't think that games were poorly optimized in general, Ubisoft was even worse at it and of course there were some other big issues like forced VSync (LA Noire, Mass Effect, Wolfenstein TNO) and the game breaking if you disabled it via a configuration file, or the lack of any proper AA (I don't consider FXAA a.k.a. vaseline on the lens to be an acceptable AA) in any game which uses the Unreal 3 engine. I do agree that these days gamers are less patient with games not performing well. We don't tolerate

[@utubby3730]

Just putting it out there as a follow up. While I have been having a fine time with ghost recon, 4K 2080ti Ultra preset with Ultimate texture detail (typically in the 60s, capped at 85 which it hits in low draw scenes), my bf has been having a terrible time on 4K 1080ti with HUB performance settings, generally 26-30FPS!! Which would mean my setup is performing considerable over twice as well, on a card that is generally closer to just 1/3 more performance :s

[@wawagabriel]

@@saiprasad8078 I would say the capture card, or screen recorder if they use that, records at a fixed framerate, because it's supposed to be played back at this framerate (so probably 60FPS). Thus like with a screen, the GPU may not have finished a frame when it's recorded by the capture card/screen recorder. The framebuffer will have the tearing between the previous and current frame

[@jaturnley]

Basically, if you like Division 2 and Far Cry 5, you will like this. It's less like GRW than it is similar to the other two. It uses the item score system from Division 2s end game, and you don't get an NPC squad to order around so solo it feels like Far Cry. There are fewer "hide on a hill and snipe" places, and you are always needing to watch the skies for drones, so the overall feel is not very much like GRW. As far as the store goes, apparently the people making fun of it haven't played the game. It's basically a cheat store, letting you get the blueprints for the items in the game up front rather than hunting through the game for them. If that's appealing to you you can use it, or you can ignore it and the only thing you will miss out on is a few cosmetic items.

Are the full release graphics better than the open beta? Not sure if they cut out some presentation from the beta typically.

[@111Tommyg]

From the alpha and beta i was able to run this game in high graphics at 60+ fps with a browser up and playing videos on a second monitor, now for some reason it eats my vram and struggles at the lowest possible settings and has a fit if there's anything at all on a second monitor, i can't take "oh well you have full access to the island now" as an excuse, in the beta you had access to 4-5 large provinces, somethings gone wrong.

No point using temporal injection as it forces TAA on i think. I want no blurry AA. 4k at 27" looks great on the beta i certainly don't want to blur all the detailed tree leaves and branches like this AA does even with fidelity FX on, still blurry. Why can't they seperate temporal injection from the AA setting, so stupid.

The intresting thing is that Terrain Quality also improves resolution of terrain textures. Another thing GDDR6 is better in loading textures than GDDR5. My 1070 GTX have a huge problem in loading maxed quality Terrain Quality when scale resolution is set more than 160 % in 1080p (it's about 1620p). I cant se that problem in 2060 Super or 2070 RTX when memory is maxed. Yeah I know these cards also much faster.

[@KillianStar]

What this video is missing is the fact that the game is extremely hungry for VRAM. 4K, especially on Vulkan is a no go for an 8GB VRAM GPU. Ultimately, I had to use 2.25x DLDSR (2880x1620), paired with some reduced options, like Terrain Quality, which I put on Very High.

@@GrindingMadness I don't know what you mean, but my point still stands. The video gives 0 info about VRAM and Vulkan in this game has issues with VRAM.

[@GrindingMadness]

@KillianStar try looking at your settings in the game. Do you see the vram bar. Every time you increase the graphics the bar goes higher. In this case it means more vram usage. In other words, you have to tinker around till you find your sweet spot. As you've mentioned running the game in 4k on a 8GB card. Ultra settings can and will hurt your card. Worst case scenario I'd be upgrading the card to 16 Gb minium to utilize 4k.

[@KillianStar]

@@GrindingMadness I have tested this game extensively under different settings and resolutions. Staying in the "green" zone does absolutely nothing with Vulkan. You will run out of video memory either way, because for some reason it "thinks" you have 9GB of VRAM card instead of 8GB. DX11 does not have these issues, but its performance it absolutely abysmal. It works like 30% worse than Vulkan.

Its weird, in the open beta i could set everything to very high/some ultra. 1 day later, release, i was forced to set it to high.. fps drops randomly, though it seems to have something to do with reflective Surfaces and certain buildings in certain locations. 90% of the game i do get 60fps with v-sync. but sometimes in some buildings it just drops to 35fps out of nowhere, stuttering almost. Using the ingame (press F1) analytics, cpu and gpu arent doing anything special when that happens, 30% on the cpu, 60-70% for the GPU, yet fps "lag" or drops in some places, very very weird.

Hello there, I just bought TUF B450 Pro Gaming+R5 3600 combo for 350$(taxes included). This mobo has 10 phase VRM but I'm not familiar with the in-depth technicality of VRM mechanics I just thought 10 phase VRM mobo would be sufficient for R5 3600, so it'd be great if you can make another review on asus's b450 gaming models, as this particular one was released after Gaming Plus model, which uses 6 phase VRM. My question is what is the sweet spot of overclocking on R5 3600? I think I got a decent sillicon lottery and this one I have pushes to all-core 4175-4200 mHz at stock, also on single core I can get up to 4400 mHz with PBO. I'm a competetive dota 2 player and its really crucial for me to get 150+ fps all the time as the input lag is very imperative and every single fps counts. And although I get 4325 mHz with PBO during gameplay, I sometimes see my rx 570 being bottlenecked by 10 to 15% percent at single core dependant moments(intense actions in gameplay), as dota 2 is a highly cpu demanding game.And with all the umpteen attempts of overclocking, I finally managed to get my 3600 stable at 1.5V 4375 mHz, I plan to use this cpu for at least 2-3 years, is 1.5V too much for it? And what is the actual sweet spot of oc would you recommend? Thanks in advance, Kind Regards.

I can not recall my settings out of my head but the performance was OK, the only problem I encountered was: I don't like the game although I had some hopes it would draw me away from BF. I want my Battlefield 4 Fun back, c'mon Softwaredevs, do something!

[@XDefinitive]

you guys need to do more optimization guides it's the most useful and "free" for people to do.

[@Curgus_47]

the sad realization that crysis is still great looking and isn't a resource hog compared to the same level (sometimes a step backwards) of visual looks in games that are out today. (with gta and fallout 4 and just about every other game looking like rubber toys)... oobisoft will forever be a fail.

- Performance optimization: failed - Microtransaction optimization: successful

[@dom1437]

For reflections i would recommend very high, high has too much noise, this will be very noticeable on wet roads and inside buildings with reflective floors. As for volumetric fog, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than ultra, very high and below has too much dither and breakups, hell even ultra sometimes show these artifacts.

[@jugg9140]

why would you want fog to be that high when there is no degrade in visual quality while having huge impact on performance.

[@bravozero6]

my 590 ran the beta at 70 fps on very high with a couple custom settings 1080p.

[@jordanderr6963]

Yeah I've only been getting 45fps with the tweaks here on my r7 2700 rx580 machine, this game runs like balls.

[@Kiara_Fish]

idk why but for me it has a capped resolution even tho i have 1920 1080 , its like set to 1280 to fullscreen and i cant change it its so annoying

[@Wineblood]

The amount of information here is great, but the presentation is underwhelming to me. When you're going through 6 presets in quick succession and I don't know what I'm looking for, they all look the same. Ultimate -> ultra -> very high -> high -> medium -> low in about 10 seconds leads to the viewer readjusting all the time and not actually seeing what you're on about. Perhaps some side by side low/high/ultimate with mention of what specifically the difference is?

[@ericbergfield6451]

I skipped the Xbox One/PS4 generation because Motion Blur & Bloom got so out of hand during the previous [Xbox 360/PS3] generation.

[@danielmdax]

Hey HUB, in your opinion, should Ubisoft abandon the Anvil 2.0 engine and move to the Snowdrop Engine used in The Division 2? I feel like that's Ubisoft's Frostbite. Would visual quality be comparable or better with it instead of Anvil 2.0? And would performance be better?

[@captainjim1010]

For some reason i cant change graphic settings... every setting i change it always seem to stay at LOW... seems it cant accept any changes on graphics whatsoever... tried re-installing gpu drivers (rx570) re-installing the game etc. nothing seems to work... any help?

[@Ragssssss]

How ? And the game turns down settings auto to low? When you change settings manually?

[@captainjim1010]

@@Ragssssss the game doesnt turn down settings... it doesnt accept any changes at graphics settings at all. A friend of mine has the same problems and we have the same rig (2200g-rx570-16ram-asrock b450)

[@Ragssssss]

@@captainjim1010 seems like 570 is the reason, devs must have locked settings for old cards from amd but honestly this is very unlikely.

[@captainjim1010]

@@Ragssssss it was working fine but suddently it stopped accepting any settings... really weird

[@seamon9732]

No ***INPUT LATENCY*** testing for this game? Any plans for that? And keep it up, always informative for those who don't do that kind of optimization by themselves ( something I did for 20 years now ). Cheers! :)

[@Reknilador]

The 1070 couldn't keep 60 fps 1080p in Wildlands on ultra, guessing here it's gna struggle even on high

[@Zmeig]

Is it normal to have only 50 fps with a RX 5700XT , all setting on extreme on breakpoint. my proc is a ryzen 1600 and i have 16GB of ram

[@Flag_Rat]

Thats all im getting too but i have huge frame drops and crashes. R5 3600x rx 5700 xt

[@Flag_Rat]

I have a r5 2600 with 5700 and r5 3600x with 5700xt and it crashes on both. Black screen, no signal, some crazy white screen and huge frame drops. Sometimes i can play for 5mins and others it wont load a game. All drivers are up to date. Clean install radeon drivers with ddu. Gigabyte bios f50, windows 1903. Ddr4 3200 16gb. One pc 1080p 75hz. The other 1440p 144hz. Anyone else have these issues?

[@TheNiteNinja19]

This game looks exactly like Wildlands. Which I guess if that's the game play people liked, why fix what ain't broke. But other than terrorize civilians and wander around the expansive map in Wildlands, I find the story rather repetitive and dry.

[@wmk5566]

@Eriko. Oy yea i agree with you. After I have tried the open beta, it look worse than Wildlands. Don't forget Wildlands is from 2 years ago.

[@TheNiteNinja19]

Yeah I'm just judging what I see here. Gone are the days of Advanced Warfighter I guess.

[@schishne7546]

that game...ive rarely had problems with higher graphic games but then came ghost recon breakpoint and im sitting with the lowest of the lowest resolution and settings...with 22 fps standing still and that drops to 10 when fighting...when moving 15...

[@juGGaKNotEmpire]

can you redo the radeon 7 review with the new drivers ?

[@lindashaw3494]

When I run the benchmark my gpu is showing 0 percent

I like a video that explains all these setting, what are they?, how do they work?, what do they do?,etc,etc. I did like this video though. 🤪

No Asrock 5700 xt Taichi review today? tomorrow maybe? Great work as always.

[@xxzmk]

is temporal injection just temporal filtering from rainbow six siege, which they just took away because they wanted to implement new textures?

[@MisterRorschach90]

Good to know. If I want to play the game I just downloaded but haven’t played yet on my new midish/high end system I’ll have to choose high or very high to get even decent FPS at 1080p. If I wanted to play it at 4K on my tv I’d need a 10988000xe with 8x nvlink rtx 8000 under ln2 with one of those thousand dollar hdmi cables Linus reviewed.

That Mug should be designed in a way what in total front view compensates for the curvature!!!!!! Or i am tricked seeing it off-front... ok long day..

[@Zipzeolocke]

How adorable, you guys are so proud of your little mug. They remind me of the game Prey, little black sludge creatures secretly transform into random inanimate objects like coffee mugs. And I think the coffee mug in the game looks similar to yours!

[@hashy8369]

This game is broken on the 5700xt atm. Random crashes in many areas that needs a hard reset to get back to normal.

can this be used for wildlands?

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint? Eh....id say: Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Ambient Occulsion....so thats the ghosting I see something FIERCE in Deadside. I run a Reshade preset and I can see the ghosting around my character really bad and was wondering what that was.....
