Ubisoft has posted the PC specifications for French Revolution-set sneak ‘em up Assassin’s Creed Unity. In a shocking, some might say revolutionary move, they’ve decided to release the minimum and recommended specs at the same time. Take note, Bethesda and Activision.
Be warned, if your PC hasn’t been upgraded recently, this one might be rather a lot to handle. The base level graphics cards required are the GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970.
Those are fairly recent cards, both with 2GB or more VRAM, so that’s quite an ask for a minimum specification. Elsewhere 6 to 8GB of memory, the former for minimum and the latter for recommended, seems to be the new default range for reasonably demanding new titles. Here’s the full list:
Minimum requirements:
OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64-bit operating system required)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM)
Hard Drive: 50 GB available space

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X (3 GB VRAM)
Hard Drive: 50 GB available space
