"From what I've found the problem seems to be Conservative Rasterization. That is the main difference from feature level 12_1 to 11_0. For some reason that wasn't hard coded into Origins or Odissey but it is on Valhalla(?). I don't see why it can't be disabled, take the FPS hit and run the game on Kepler cards."

Exactly. I can play any other game, incl the other AC perfectly fine and I have a GTX750 Titan, which supports DX12, but up to 11_1.
I really don't understand why Ubisoft has to die on the 12_0 hill.

Have they seen the current graphic cards market? Have they?
It's almost impossible to get any decent card for its real market price.
A card that should be well within $500 is way past $700-800 in any store, and will be for who knows long still, if the supply chain and demand keeps being so completely off (thank you miners).
I'm not buying a video card for at least another year, even if I could, I refuse to waste money like this. This is f stupid and really disappointing on many levels.

I'm [censored] because they COULD patch it, simply out of the sudden realization that most gamers do not want to (or can't) change their cards every 3 years, but they just don't want to.
If this doesn't get fixed, it's the last AC I buy, out of principle, that's for sure.

@ubi-woofer you announced the requirements in October, fantastic.
But it's ok allowing pre-orders with no mention of that, since what... April?
Cool, I bought it in June.
Stupid me.
