Assassin's creed Unity PC version System requirements
- Thread starter catmario
- Start date
As soon as actual next gen games and not cross gen titles are made and released, there will be a steep increase in PC hardware requirements.
It happens every generation, PC hardware needs to much more powerful than what it is inside consoles to run the same game because games can't be truly optimized or coded on the metal, there's a lot of overhead, this gen will be no different, it's just that cross gen games delayed the process.
So no I'm not surprised.

Yup I have everything

On low to play Shadow of Morder @ 1080p with my current PC. Will be upgrading to a new GPU and can't go any lower then 3GB of Ram on the GPU. 6 would be ideal

well that's Carmack's rough estimate.

Um that is the least ridiculous part of this, did you see the GPU reqs?

Ubisoft doing what they do. And the game will still run like shit on great computers for weeks(months) after release.
Weird how other developers/publishers sometimes don't run into this problem. Almost as if Ubisoft is just terrible at optimizing games.
Using a Ubisoft game as any kind of metric for PC gaming as a whole is nonsensical. For every unoptimized Ubisoft game, there are multiple ones that look better and have lower requirements.
We're going to need titans to even play 2D sidescrollers soon! The humanity. PC gaming is dead

This is pretty much the final nail in the PC gaming coffin, I'm afraid. Given how accurate system requirements have been this generation, and taking into account MS's well established and clearly outlined parity policies, we can conclude that it will take almost 800 dollars worth of hardware (for the CPU and GPU alone!) to run this game at 900p/30 fps.

Well, looks like I won't be getting more AssCreed games on PC.

Engine's been running like crap since AC3, no surprise here.

Well, shit. AC3 ran decent with my 660. I don't want to upgrade so soon.
just got this PC last year.
That's what I have and I can run Alien Isolation on Ultra settings 1900x1200. This is ridiculous. I wonder if it's just something that you can bypass. Normally it is. I tested it out tonight and it ran fine.

They did say that the game is CPU heavy in statements regarding performance on consoles.
AC4 was cross-gen though.
That parity!

Wait for benches.
But it's Ubi, so even the recommended 780 will probably be a shitty experience.

You win the thread.
Yes. I don't want to believe this, but It's true.
- 그래픽카드: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 680 또는 AMD Radeon HD 7970 (그래픽 메모리 2GB 이상
(NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 780 또는 AMD Radeon R9 290X (그래픽 메모리 3 GB 이상이상을 권장)
or.... Are GTX 680 and HD 7970 cannot run 32 bit OSes? I don't know about that.

Its like someone said "should we optimize the game on PC?" and someone higher up said "nah, just up the hardware requirements until it works". Those minimums are insane, the equivalent visuals of the PS4 version (heck even the Xbox one version) shouldn't require specs like that, let alone the minimum settings.
Still doesn't excuse it. If it was optimized correctly a 7870 shouldn't be the minimum.

It was? I have a 6770 and ran black flag just fine at 1080p x 30fps. Medium settings and some AA

So ... my GTX660 can't handle it?

Oh good I surpass the recommended requirements in all categories easily.
Not for black flag, I was responding to my earlier post about how a 6870 could run black flag on high but not unity at all.

This is why people prefer consoles. 2-3X more powerful = 2-3X more expensive

This line of thought will make no sense when four or five AC down the line ask for the 980 as minimum, but still have XBO version.
Can't wait for it to run terribly on cards that meet the requirements. Or run great on cards that are below the requirements with Evil Within and Shadow of Mordor overshooting their system requirements.
Expecting it to not run well because... well, it's an Ubisoft PC port. Has this gotten the mandatory Ubisoft Assassin's Creed PC release delay yet too?

That is one narrow gap between minimum and recommended GPU specs. Minimum, you need a GPU twice as powerful as what is found in the consoles. Good lord, this is going to be something.

If the game doesn't even run that well on XBO and PS4 (900p, 30fps with frame drops), then you run that by the usual Ubisoft PC porting algorithm, it seems to be just about what we should have expected!
But wait for benches regardless.
But the game apparently runs like shit on consoles with reports of drops below 20fps at 900p with poor AA. So presumably you will get a much better experience for your money.
Welcome 20fps 900p shitty quality console gaming?
