Assassins Creed PC minimum specs

From the website :News: Assassin's Creed minimum PC specs = youch! - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

They say

You're going to need a kick-*** PC boosted by a flux capacitor to get a decent frame rate in Assassin's Creed on PC if spec requirements published on the 'net are accurate.

"In order to play this game properly, your PC MUST meet or exceed these minimum requirements", a post on Ubisoft Solution Centre, before dropping the almighty bombshell.

And make sure you're sitting down before you read this. Having a stiff drink to hand probably wouldn't go amiss eitherho)...

• Supported OS: Windows XP / Vista (only)
  
• Processor: Dual core processor 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or better recommended)
  
• RAM: 2 GB (3 GB recommended)
  
• Video Card: 256 MB DirectX 10.0-compliant video card or DirectX 9.0-compliant card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher (512 MB video card recommended) (see supported list)*
  
• Sound Card: DirectX 9.0 or 10.0 compliant sound card (5.1 sound card recommended)
  
• DirectX Version: DirectX 10.0 libraries (included on disc)

NVIDIA GeForce 6600-6800 / 7 / 8 / 9 series

To put this into some kind of perspective, here are the official minimum spec requirements for Crysis that were published:

Minimum for both XP and Vista:

• CPU - 2.8GHz for XP, 3.2GHz for Vista
• RAM - 1.0GB for XP, 1.5GB for Vista
• GPU - 256MB, DirectX 9.0c compliant. Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Integrated chipsets are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required
• Sound Card - DirectX 9.0c compatible
• HDD - 12GB

That is if the specs on the net are true:wacko:

Re: Assassins Creed PC minimum specs

Wow 3GB recommended thats even more than Crysis needs to run and 512Mb card recommended. Id say that they these are mere speculation as ive never seen any game to date need anything close to these kind of specs. Even Crysis doesnt touch on a rig of this kind. Geforce 6800GT is my card and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is in my other PC and if thats the minimum and the recommended is a 512Mb thats a big gap. My cards about 3 years old now and will only run Crysis with settings and detail turned down. If theres any truth to the recommended specs id say my card wouldnt run it.

I think that this is the only bad thing about Pc - gaming against consoles, The task of developers is very tough because of all the different setups of different people, I think they combat this by boosting the specs to keep everyone safe.
