When Assassin's Creed Unity's system requirements were leaked, yesterday, they were hard to believe. A minimum GPU requirement of a 680? For a multiplatform game? Nonsense. Unfortunately, these are the official requirements, and Ubisoft has confirmed them.
This is what Ubisoft says you'll need to just run the game:
- Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only)
- Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
- 6 GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM)
- DirectX 11
- 50 GB available space
And here's what Ubisoft recommends:
- Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only)
- Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or better
- 8GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X (3 GB VRAM)
- DirectX 11
- 50 GB available space
It will be very interesting to see how accurate these requirements are. It would never have occurred to me that a publisher would puff up requirements, since that would obviously stop people below them from purchasing the game, but since Bethesda did it with The Evil Within, there's precedence.
