To put the hardware specs into perspective, the GTX 680 is Nvidia’s top-end single-GPU card from 2012 which retailed for $500. Your GTX 680 or HD 7970 needs 2GB of RAM, too. To round out the minimum PC specs for Assassin’s Creed Unity, it also requires 50GB of free space, and a 64-bit version of Windows 7 SP1.
We know that the Xbox One and PS4 struggle with Assassin’s Creed Unity - they are both locked to 900p 30 fps - but even the minimum PC specs are about twice the processing power present in the Xbox One. The recommended specs take that up to a Core i7-3770 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a top-of-the-line GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290X. At a bare minimum, the new Assassin’s Creed game will require an Nvidia GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970, 6GB of RAM, and a Core i5-2500K or Phenom II X4 940 CPU. Ubisoft has announced the minimum requirements for the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Unity - and, well, they’re a little bit puzzling to say the least.
