14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has just revealed the systems requirements for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. The recommended ones are pretty hefty, and there are also some Nvidia exclusive features.
The games in the Assassin’s Creed series have always had high systems requirements, but that usually happened because the versions that landed on the PC were much, much better than their console counterparts.
The Ubisoft developers chose to implement pretty much everything they could think of and then some. The minimum requirement includes Intel Core i5 2400 @2.5 GHz or AMD FX 6350 @3.9 GHz, 6GB or more of RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270.
On the other hand, the recommended system requirements are much higher, and they will burn a hole through your wallet if you don’t have this hardware already. People will need at least Intel Core i7-3770 @3.5 GHz or AMD FX-8350@ 4.0 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (4GB) or the newer GTX 970 (4GB) or AMD Radeon R9 280X (3GB), and 50GB of HDD space.
What’s interesting is that Ubisoft also said that a number of Nvidia exclusive features have been added as well, TXAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing), HBAO+ (Ambient Occlusion), and Soft Shadows.
On the other hand, both AMD CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI are supported, and players will be able to customize controls for mouse and keyboard.
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate launches for the PC platform on November 19.
