This rare hardware-y appearance in Guides Town comes courtesy of a certain remade plunder ’em up, in which I’ve spent… yeesh, nearly six hours poking around the graphics options in search of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced best settings for PC.
In many games, this kind of thing is a doddle, as a lot of individual settings don’t affect the performance of modern graphics cards and CPUs either way – meaning you can keep a bunch of the best-looking settings, while still claiming a tasty framerate boost with just a handful of tactical lowerings. And, in all likelihood, some upscaling. Black Flag Resynced, however, actually does run faster (even if by small margins) when you drop almost any of its 20-plus individual settings, presenting a trickier choice of what to tone down and what to crank up.
Still, after much benchmarking – and verifying with normal play – I think I’ve cracked it. There’s a combination of Medium, High, and Ultra High settings that tidily preserve Resynced’s windswept good looks, while bumping up performance over the more, some might say needlessly, demanding presets.
