Ubisoft claims that Assassin’s Creed Origins’ DRM has now “no perceptible effect” on performance

Over the past number of days, it has been rumoured that Assassin’s Creed Origin’s high CPU requirements are due to the game’s use of DRM, with game crackers reporting that the game’s use of Denuvo alongside VMProtect, giving the game two layers of protection. 

In our performance review of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, we found that the game was exceptionally difficult to run at over 60FPS throughout the game, with inner-city areas like Alexandria proving extremely taxing on CPUs. This information has led to many blaming DRM for these issues, with game crackers/pirates supporting these claims. 

Right now there is no real evidence to support these claims, as the game cannot be tested without its DRM to prove these claims one way or the other, but Ubisoft has officially stated that the DRM used in Assassin’s Creed: Origins does not have a “perceptible effect” on the game’s performance.  

  

We’re confirming that the anti-tamper solutions implemented in the Windows PC version of Assassin’s Creed Origins have no perceptible effect on game performance.

Ubisoft claims that Assassin's Creed Origins' DRM has now   

For years there have been claims that Denuvo’s anti-tamper tech has a negative impact on game performance, though this has never been proven in most cases. 

Regardless of the performance impact of Ubisoft’s DRM the fact remains that 60FPS gameplay in Assassin’s Creed Origins is difficult to achieve in some of the game’s most demanding locations, requiring a CPU with six threads or more to run well. Even then a steady 60FPS is difficult to achieve, though at least most of the game will run well.
