I have almost maxed out except AA on medium in 1440p .. buttery smooth 70-100 fps all the time with 6700k & 1070 .. great optimization to me :/

Ubisoft only cares of money, unfortunatly, but atleast the creators cared about AS fans, gave a wonderful game, but a game that kills your CPU if you have a stock fan

100% usage on my processor, no game did this to me before, such stupidity.

Its because the game uses 4 types of DRM if you play on steam and 3 if you only use uplay. Theres an estimated ~40% added CPU usage just because of denuvo and vmprotect, because ubisoft care more about pissing off pirates than about the paying customer.
