Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – PC Requirements Also Revealed – Only Supports 64-bit OSs | DSOGaming

Assassin’s Creed fans, this is for you. Alongside the PC requirements for Watch Dogs, Ubisoft has also revealed the PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. According to the game’s official UPLAY page, PC gamers will at least need a quad-core and a 64-bit system. Now I don’t know if this is the latest “next-gen” list that Ubisoft invented, but the specs look somehow similar to those of Watch Dogs (despite the fact that they use different game engines… and the fact that an 8-core is not recommended). Overall, it will be interesting to put this game to the test. You can view the complete specs list below.

really Ubisoft? i exceed recommended configuration and AC3 still lags like hell, will this mean AC4 will too?

  apparently they are typing higher requirements so that when the game performs poorly on your PC they use it as an excuse quad-core my….

Yea, I truly hope this game is much better optimized than AC3 because Boston……Never fixed…

About bloody time as 32 bit should be dead and burried long time ago!

64bit and good CPU scaling from 4 up to XXXXXXX etc is a must and couldent come any sooner!

I have quad core and 64 bit, lets see what this game can do.

  It can rob you of your money at best.
  - Kyle Jackson
    
    I didn’t say I was going to pay for the game…
    - CoolingGibbon
      
      Well, maybe it’s about time you did.
      
      Repeat after me. “I am going to play this game by paying for it like I’m supposed to.”
      
      See, was that so hard?
      - Kyle Jackson
        
        You seem to be having another conversation on your own again. I didn’t say I wasn’t going to pay for it the either, but you’re an easy target because of your ego, and lack of intellect, so I enjoy baiting you, which gets easier, and easier. Another thing child, perhaps leave the ‘C’ words to yourself, as there are younger people that use this site, you being one of them.
      - CoolingGibbon
        
        Geez, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I figured you’d be able to tell from my comment I’m being slightly humorous. And hey, I think “c**t” (censored) is a very instinctive word, the sooner little kids learn it, the better they can express themselves!
      - Kyle Jackson
        
        I’m all for humour, but when you start calling people the ‘C’ word for no real good reason, I’m gonna take offense, peace.
      - BrokenThinker
        
        Dude, your language, jeez.
      - CoolingGibbon
        
        Alright, I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to offend anyone. However, I still do feel strongly against piracy though, and I stand by that.
        
        P.S. Edited my previous comment.

How it’s (both 32/64bit versions) and Note that we only support 64 bit OSs. ??

I bet its 2-3 core optimized
Dakan45

gtx260 minimum?

WTF?

Seriously wtf, 30gb disk space?
- HelterSkelter
  
  gtx260 as minimum sounds reasonable.
  - Dakan45
    
    If creed revelations was running maxed out on that card, it does not. Then again maybe grx 260 has the appropriate shaders and optimizations and its used as the baseline for the game to run and it works well with it….then again bf4 needs 8800gt as minium so no its not reasonable.
    
    Also no i didnt thumb you down.
    - HelterSkelter
      
      Even though BF3 requires a 8800gt mininum, it doesn’t mean that other games shouldn’t have higher requirements. Different engines, different types of games etc, also determines the requirements of games. AC4 might not be a polygon powerhouse such as BF4 but it has a much bigger world to render and that also requires more resources.
      
      P.S I’m not one who really cares about upvotes or downvotes. Even if you did downvote me, I honestly wouldn’t care.
      - Dakan45
        
        and thats why we get bad ports.
        
        Creed uses instances, the world is not “big” it basicly reloads chunks of itself like far cry 2.
      - HelterSkelter
        
        I think that Creed 4 has higher draw distances than BF4 also requires more power. The 8800gt as a minimum gpu standard is starting to end. This is something that we have to accept. I still consider it to be a great card, considering that it’s been surviving since 2007.
      - Dakan45
        
        check cod and watchdogs requirments, a dual core is crap now.
      - HelterSkelter
        
        Lets wait for official requirements. Many times the requirements of games can be misleading. I don’t think old dual cores such as core 2 duos will be good for next-gen but the i3’s seem plausible.

Do Palit GT610 PCIE V-Card good at this game ?.
