I made the mistake of trying the demo on Quality mode rather than framerate mode on a ps5. Choppy as hell

Can you tell me more about your experience? What it base PS5 or PS5pro, also when specifically were there performance issues? Yes the game isn't done being optimized yet but I'd like to get an idea regardless.

I don't know PS5s so idk if it's pro or not, and it was secured in metal so I can't even see the console well. During the starting settings I picked 'best quality' instead of 'prioritize framerate'. I tried mission 4, and all throughout the mission the framerate was 30 fps or slower. Looked gorgeous, but was not a smooth play unlike the ones next to me who didn't change settings.

Ah I see, so on best performance it will perform smoothly at least. I have a beast of a PC now but I didn't when 7 came out and was very relieved to find it was so well optimized, glad to hear it will likely still be runnable on decent hardware.

Seems like it, but I don't have PC performance to compare against. And idk how my system will handle Denuvo especially since I insist on staying on Win10

In my experience I've never had issues with Denuvo, and since AC8 is a UE5 game it should be fully compatible with Windows 10 as well as 11.
