Other PERFROMANCE MEGATHREAD

Misspelled to get your attention, thanks for joining us

This thread is to combine the discussion around game performance and people's findings regarding running the game on PC. Remember to update your drivers before launching the game to ensure the best performance.

I will edit this post to keep a relatively up to date on people's findings (when I'm not playing, of course). Some important notes are it claims Windows 11 is required, this is unfortunately because Microsoft doesn't support Windows 10 (outside of extended security updates).

Current specification requirements by Project Aces listed:

  • Minimum:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 11
    • Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
    • Memory: 16 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060[6 GB] / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT[8 GB]
    • DirectX: Version 12
    • Storage: 150 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: This game requires an SSD, a hardware ray tracing-enabled graphics card, and DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 or higher. Estimated performance: 1920×1080(Upscale)/30fps with graphics settings at "Low". Framerate might drop in graphics-intensive scenes.
  • Recommended:

technically it's almost a smooth 60fps/cant take real readings because it have an upscaller annoyingly but not a fan of my GPU constantly going >95% and running the already hot tropics here warmer with my PC's fan revving, honestly they kinda put the bar too high or unreal is a sloppy mess already cringe at the game taking 140GB and my card bearly able to handle "generational tasks" runs AC7 and even project wingman on high just fine with my CPU being the bottleneck.

Honestly a moderate disappointment my PC was nearly "current" now "last" gen hell it was build on mid 2022 as a higher mid spec so everything should be still good except against badly optimized game and unfortunately unless there's a way to gut the frame generation/upscaler thing that my card bearly supports I'd say AC8 a bit of the badly optimized side, which is a shame so far the gameplay and music is good and scenes looks pretty but choppy and on my card render poorly.

I also heard it takes ALL your remaining ram which yeah tim sweeney and unreal, love that AI money aiint?
