When it comes to graphics performance, Assassin’s Creed has always been a tough nut to crack on PC. Assassin’s Creed Oranges was an absolute beast to get running smoothly when it came out last year, and it continues to be one of the most demanding games in my graphic cards benchmarking suite. This year’s Ancient Greece-themed installment, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, is, thankfully, a little less demanding than its Egyptian predecessor, but at times it can still feel like it’s putting a great big Spartan kick-sized strain on your GPU.
Fortunately, I’m here to help, as below you’ll find everything you need to know about how to get the best settings for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on PC, as well as what you need to do in order to get that lovely 60fps frame rate from both today’s best graphics cards and a handful of older ones I still have kicking around in the back of my cupboard. Whether you’re here for hoofing lads off cliffs or the blush-worthy romances (see Alice’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey review for even more thoughts on the game itself), here’s how to get them looking as buff as the almighty Kassandra herself.
