“It certainly feels like it’s about reducing the performance, even on high-end graphics cards, so that people have to buy something new.”Īs a reminder, here are the specs you’ll need to play Syndicate on your PC ( which we posted last week). “Nvidia Gameworks typically damages the performance on Nvidia hardware as well, which is a bit tragic really, ” AMD’s “gaming scientist” Richard Huddy said earlier this year. Though it may be sour grapes, AMD seems convinced that Gameworks cripples performance, regardless of the hardware choice.

Hopefully that wont be the case here, and that Syndicate will actually play well for PC gamers, no matter which side of the red/green divide they lie. If you’ll recall, we also got a very lovely Gameworks trailer showing off how Arkham Knight looked with the tech – and we all know how that turned out in the end.

Now that looks very nice and all, but I have to view it with a fair bit of suspicion. To show the tech off, Nvidia has released a Gameworks Trailer for Syndicate. G-Sync Support: Support of special monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync chip.GeForce Experience: Player with GFE can have adjusted graphics options for smoother performance experience.PCSS: NVIDIA algorithm for Soft Shadows – Works on both NVIDIA and AMD hardware.HBAO+: – NVIDIA algorithm for Ambient Occlusion – Works on both NVIDIA and AMD hardware.TXAA: NVIDIA algorithm for Temporal Anti-Aliasing – Works only on NVIDIA hardware.Here’s the list of stuff that’s exclusive to NVidia’s GPU’s. Rather, by the fact that it’s another game that utilises Nvidia’s Gameworks.Īccording to NVidia and Ubisoft, Gameworks is supposed to make the game look and run better, but in my own completely subjective experiences, I’ve only ever found Gameworks to make things worse. It’s not because Ubisoft games have a propensity to be broken on PC, or that I don’t have faith that the teams behind Assassin’s Creed and its ports aren’t able to deliver a game that works. I have this sneaking suspicion that the game is going to run poorly on PC when it sees release later this month. But, a few minor glitches aside, the experience has been solid. Yes, it suffers many inherited problems from the series – ones that will take quite an internal shake up at Ubisoft to ever be fixed.

I’ve rather enjoyed my time with Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate.
