Assassin's Creed Unity not running well on AMD hardware
And though this is a console port, Ubisoft blames AMD for the technical issues in Assassins Creed Unity. Kinda weird since all the consoles run an AMD APU eh ? AMD Radeon users report texture issues, low frame rates and overall glitching problems. Ubisoft claims the issues are related to select AMD CPU and GPU combinations, which points to a lack of testing on AMD hardware. So all of the sudden its AMD's fault ...
The main root cause of the issue isn't AMD or for that matter Nvidia who's mid-range products run into issues as well, it's Ubisoft. The DX11 game currently is pushing roughly 50,000 draw calls on the DirectX 11 API. DX11 is designed to handle ~10,000 peak draw calls. Mantle and DirectX 12 are designed to handle that number, but not DX11.
Ubisoft just started responding to this on their forums:
We are aware that the graphics performance of Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC may be adversely affected by certain AMD CPU and GPU configurations. This should not affect the vast majority of PC players, but rest assured that AMD and Ubisoft are continuing to work together closely to resolve the issue, and will provide more information as soon as it is available.
Really Ubisoft ? Next time spend some quality control on AMD Graphics cards with your multi-million investment ?? Simply put its once again a bad port for the PC Platform that is not rather well optimized title.

I find that excuse SUPER HILARIOUS, Last I check the game was made for CONSOLES first and consoles that are AMD, yet the PC version which is INTEL/NVIDIA too suffer from all the same problems.
Query, Does Ubisoft think people are stupid? Do there PR people really believe the stories they give us?
Basically they saying AMD HW is the reason why the game suffers. So are they say the AMD HW in the consoles was bad idea? and in turn makes ALL platforms suffer? even when PC version dont strictly use AMD HW and suffer from same issues. or do they even know?
I miss the days when QA of games was actually worth damn, these days stuff isnt fixed to after a release and that is if they even bother to fix things.

I'm not really seeing this part in the Ubisoft forum topic.
Ubisoft’s Assassins Creed Unity has had a buggy launch to say the least, what with all the texture popping, low frame rates and entity glitching problems.A Ubisoft Public Relations Manager has recently pinned the blame solely on AMD GPU and CPU configurations. The actual reason, however, lies inside the gritty details of bad optimization and porting.

They will. Look at how well EA sells games while apparently being so hated.

I would think AMD PR would have field day with UBISOFT for blaming their HW for UBISOFT failures.
