more Welcome to our Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag performance review first off
0:18
we're going to show you guys how I ran this Benchmark I like to call this
0:21
benchmarking around the torron if you can see right there I was standing beside a torch and the idea of this run
0:27
was all my benchmarks are about 2 minutes long so I had had to get
0:30
somewhere free running within 2 minutes so I went to an opposing Beach on the
0:35
other side of Nassau and I made it about
0:39
2 minutes long and I end by another torch which is I don't know kind of
0:43
random but I just thought it was cool I ended up going with free running uh not
0:48
just because it was easy I tried a few different things and one of the ones I
0:51
really wanted to do was ship battles because that's a big part of Black Flag
0:57
that's why it's called Black Flag is you have a ship
1:00
um called The Jacka and I wanted to fight in The Jacka but I found that with
1:05
the wave mechanics and everything that are in this game which are really fun um
1:11
they're not exactly very good for benchmarking because they're not exactly
1:15
the same every time which is good for gameplay don't get me wrong but not good
1:19
for benchmarking which almost no one's going to do so that's completely fine so
1:24
I had to go with something more consistent though and I ended up falling back on an Assassin's Creed staple which
1:29
is free running so I tried to make it a little bit interesting by going through
1:32
the trees and stuff and then I do kill the dude at the top of this Watchtower
1:37
but that's honestly more of a necessity than anything because if you don't kill
1:40
him when you get to the top of the tower uh he will shoot you later on in the
1:44
Benchmark and that kind of screws up your free running cuz your guy will fall
1:49
so we stab him hello sir climb up the
1:53
very top of the tower and then we do a leap of faith
1:58
here and what good is any Assassin's Creed video with only one Leap of Faith
2:04
so we climb this one get stuck here for a quick second and then do another leap
2:09
of faith this one a little bit more Black Flag
2:13
oriented and then as you can see there is one more torch we stop by that we
2:18
have completed the torch run the cards performed pretty much as expected in
2:22
this game I noticed things like the NVIDIA GTX 770 was above the radon
2:28
r9280x and was not surprising because this is an NVIDIA title and I've noticed
2:32
those cards trade depending on which game's title it was and with no new
2:36
drivers from AMD that was to be expected
2:40
although it might change in the future not entirely sure another thing you might notice is that God rays were
2:44
disabled I found that enabling God Rays even on high didn't lower the FPS a ton
2:50
overall but it did create inconsistencies in between my benchmarks
2:53
so each run there would be too much of a differential in the final number that
2:57
was output so I decided to leave it out because because it just wasn't a very
3:01
good result at the very end um this game
3:04
when I first boot it up I didn't think it was going to be that hard to run because it was Assassin's Creed game I
3:08
was like never had problems with these before but cranking all the settings it
3:12
was really hard to run and it's not surprising because once you get in the game it's absolutely beautiful the water
3:17
is amazing the general Graphics around everywhere just absolutely fantastic if
3:21
you like this video like the video If you dislike the video dislike the video
3:24
and in the comments below what is your favorite Assassin's Creed this one might
3:28
be going for mine but if I don't include this one I'm thinking probably
