Assassin's Creed: Shadows - GPU and CPU optimization v.0.1 - Game mod - Download

GPU and CPU optimization is a mod for Assassin's Creed Shadows, created by Velasquez.

Description:

This optimization brings support for some presets for the game, from FPS-focused to maximum quality. It introduces optimization to control stuttering and other issues.

FEATURES:

Recompiled built-in GPU decompression shaders with DXC version 1.8.2405.

Bug Fixes

1. Fix deadlock in built-in decompression threadpool.
2. Disable asserts for release builds.
3. Fix race condition in file IO stack when multiple threads were submitting read requests.
4. Fix race condition that would, in some rare circumstances, cause DirectStorage to stop processing requests when the CPU is under high load.
5. Change DirectStorage worker thread to wakeup periodically and process requests to catch rare cases where processing has stopped.

Here's how it works and what it does:

1. **Faster Game Loading**: It reduces the time required to load large and detailed game worlds, providing a smoother and more immersive experience.

2. **Direct Data Processing by the GPU**: allows data to be sent directly from the storage device (like an SSD) to the GPU, bypassing the CPU. This reduces CPU overhead and frees up resources for other tasks.

3. **Efficient Decompression**: With support for graphic asset decompression directly on the GPU, games can access textures and models more quickly, which also reduces loading times and enhances performance.

4. **Perfect for Open Worlds**: It's particularly useful for open-world games, where many textures and information are continuously loaded as players explore.

In summary, DirectStorage is designed to fully leverage modern hardware, delivering shorter load times, quick area transitions, and richer graphics without compromising performance.
