Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced PC Performance Review
1080p Performance/Benchmarks
1080p Performance
Like all modern Assassin’s Creed games on PC, the game’s “Ultra High” preset targets ultra-high-end PC hardware. These settings are for gamers with performance to spare, and the game looks great at high or even medium settings. Even at Very Low settings, the game looks decent. Gone are the days when games at low settings delivered Etch A Sketch-level image quality. For this reason, our main benchmarks will test Assassin’s Creed at High settings (with RT set to standard) and Ultra High (with RT set to Extreme). We also set DLSS and FSR to quality mode for our tests, since most PC gamers enable them these days.
At 1080p, Black Flag players can have a decent experience with graphics cards like AMD’s RTX 3070 Ti or AMD’s RX 6600 XT and above. That said, for the RX 6600 XT and lower-end GPUs, gamers will need to use lower settings to achieve consistent 60+ FPS framerates.
At Ultra High settings, we can see our requirements for 1080p 60 FPS gameplay raise sharply, with the game needing a Radeon RX 9060 XT to achieve 60+ FPS performance. Even then, the game can dip below 60 FPS at times. This game is demanding when maxed out.
