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.

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.

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.

No. Ubifoot are the only ones to blame here. The last game that i personally consider to be of quality in both gameplay and gfx with proper performance from what is actually being displayed on screen..would have to be Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Seriously, the ps360 launched and Ubi just went full retard.

I thought Dx11 is limited to ~ 16-18k calls, not 10k.. Well if game is sending 50k calls then yeah sux.. I would blame MS too -_- OpenGL4 has ~26k calls, dx12 apparently like mantle up to 60-90k calls..

Seeing that the game is running bad on consoles too all blame must be on Ubisoft.

This gives some insight into the DX11 CPU overhead http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2011/03/16/farewell-to-directx/2

This is what happens when a series jumps the shark and becomes a yearly cash grab.

And gamers are just as much to blame as they kept buying and re-ordering. Dont know why they think they now have the right to complain either.

If the game is trying to issue 50K+ drawcalls, then the issue is solely the fault of Ubisoft. Ubisoft knows the limitations of DirectX.

I thought it was a TWIMTBP game. :P

If they're intentionally trying to issue more drawcalls than DirectX can handle, it doesn't really matter. NVidia's hardware won't do any better than AMD's if Ubisoft is really trying to issue 50K drawcalls. They both have the same drawcall limit....

Yeah Ubifail blame the hardware manufacturer when you can't code a game to properly utilize the hardware real professional of you.

This,

Passing the blame won't help, Ubi. They must be contemptuous of their audience to release something like this on all platforms. It remains to be seen whether they will be as dedicated to fixing this rubbish as DICE was.
