WTF 'At Least' a GTX 680! and a i5 2500K

crazy, prob bull tho, just to show console graphics... another poorly optimised ubisoft game

I really like this, but the spec....what the hell man!

So will my AMD 6970 will not be able to play this? Ubisoft you are idiots!

Ubisoft seem to have become so addicted to lying that they can no longer differentiate the real world from their made up little world. Perhaps they think if they lie hard enough, everyone will believe them?

That's one tiny support list for GPUs at launch. I want to get this game but it seems ridiculous the way Ubisoft has done things lately.

stupid frigging consoles.

its about time some one steps in and says they arent allowed to charge for pc games if they dont port them properly.

This is getting to be worse than paying £80 for mario on the nes in the 80's "which they steped in and stoped that saying it dosent cost you that muc to make the dumb things so you arent allowed to charge that much. then the prices droped to £40"
I dont see how this is any different.
if they wont put in any work to optimize for a pc then they cant be allowed to charge proper retail prices for the things.

By far the simplest explanation is that Ubisoft expects you to play Assassin’s Creed Unity at 1920×1080 @ 60 fps on your PC — and, simply due to the higher resolution and frame rate, you need about twice the processing power (both CPU and GPU) present in the PS4 or Xbox One. If we assume that the PC version has better textures — and perhaps better AI and more mobs on-screen at any one time — then you begin to see why you might need a GTX 780 and Core i7-3770K on the high end, especially once you move the details slider to “ultra.”

From what I can make of all of the different articles that I have read is that any reasonably specced pc can play the game but at a lower resolution and texture detail.

min requierments seem a bit over the top wouldnt you say.
Stinks of "we cant be bothered" we programed the game to run on multiple crapy cores, so why bother to optimise core usage lets just leave it how it is and tell people they need an i7 to play properly.
i guess a console gpu is about a hd 7850M. so lets tell them they need a 680 or 7950
because lets not bother doing any thing and then it will look better on the req sheets.

I really doubt they even really calculate what is needed to run the game at all.
and just pull any old specs they thing sound good out of their hoohaa's.

a 7950 or 680 as min spec is pretty ott. reccomended specs i would not find that much of an issue.
but minimum? if a hd 5770 cant run that game with an i5 at Playable rates "im not talking 16x aa 4k here, just tweek till it plays" i would be shocked and appauled at their porting..

Honestly though..

its ubisoft.
they wont have done any sort of anything when it comes to porting it to the pc. they will have done the bare minimum it will be TERRIBLY optmized. and i would not be supprized to only see 3 settings in "vidoe options"
low (720p low textures)
med (900p low textures)
and
high (1080p all the bells and whistles)

and if low isnt there i would be even less suprized because that would mean they did not have to lower anything form the console code.

I do hope the game will be working with SLI setup... any info on that?
