Ubisoft has just revealed the official PC system requirements for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. According to the French company, PC gamers will at least need an AMD FX 6300, AMD Ryzen 3 – 1200 or an Intel Core i5 2400 with 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon R9 285 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 for gaming at 720p with 30fps on Low settings.
For High settings at 1080p and with 30fps, Ubisoft recommends an AMD FX-8350, AMD Ryzen 5 – 1400 or an Intel Core i7-3770 with 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon R9 290X or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970. Yeap, you read that right. And NVIDIA GTX970 may not be enough for 60fps on High settings at 1080p.
As for 4K, Ubisoft recommends an AMD Ryzen 1700X or an Intel Core i7 7700 with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Vega 64 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey releases on October 5th and below you can find its full PC requirements.

Targeted framerate: 30 FPS
Go F your self ubish,t
ubisoft optimization gtx 1080 for 30 fps…..
Hey, they need all that power for the 10 layers of DRM.
Have some hope, maybe you can win additional frames via lootboxes.
If all else fails, let’s just say that 60fps is misogynistic, that argument always works.

I see, so they always knew…
Ahaha, dat front view!
Too funny!
But..but…they said pc community is important to them…
Just turn off RTX and Denuvo
dont worry it runs higher than 30 fps in those settings, but like origins it cant keep a steady framerate.
Origins ran very choppy from what I saw.
Don’t expect them to lose their console mentality. 75% of their revenue comes from consoles. They’re probably not going to change the way they deal with their PC customers when only 18% of their revenue comes from us.
“30fps is fine, it is playable and we don’t have to waste resource on optimizing so we just get it to a state where it’s barely playable and stop spending resources”
Ubishet
of course is fine. Most games nowdays run on 30-40 fps on max settings 1440p due to my gtx 970 but i dont complain, they are still fully playble!
” 30-40 fps are still fully playble” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb268094cd716a67874c56653e9a6e9f9d75cc77f645eb0c4621c59b9ce73af0.jpg
But it’s more “cinematic.” We should ask them to just give us 24hz options to get that fully authentic theatrical experience.
/s <———— obligatory for the "slow" ones
I meet all requirements except the graphics card for 4k max settings since i have RYZEN 1700 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4GB. It has similar requirements to far cry 5 and assasins creed odysey. I played both maxed 1440p and far cry 5 runs at 40 fps average on max settings 1440p while origins at 35 fps on max settings 1440p so i will be ok.!
Well, 30 fps is what a GTX 1080 outputs at 4K in AC: Origins so this is the same.
Exactly, the same with 3770
So if your PC could run AC Origins it will run AC Odyssey. Simple.
Other than being CPU heavy, Origins didn’t run that badly, so I doubt this game will be much different. It would have been nice to see optimization over the last game, but whatever.
Keep in mind that Origins didn’t support SLI and this game doesn’t state to support it either, so that 4K/30FPS spec of a 1080 basically means that 4K/60 FPS is an impossibility with current hardware, at least, according to their specs.
I can run Origins at 3440 x 1440 ultra settings at 80-90 FPS with a single 1080 Ti, so I’m hoping this game will do the same.
Was your 1080Ti overclocked?
Hell yes.
I played Origins at 35 fps average at 2560×1440 with my GTX 970 so it will be ok!!
In other news, Taylor Harris has unfortunately perished in a devastating fire that burned down his entire city block. Several NVidia agents were spotted at the scene, nervously digging through the ashes.
This is funny… But I’m liquid cooling and my temps stay below 55C at max load. I have a customized BIOS that unlocks power draw which helps. But the OC isn’t that insane. It’s running just under 2.1 GHz most of the time. It drops to 2062 MHz when the temp goes above 54C
I played Origins at 35 fps average at 2560×1440 with my GTX 970 so it will be ok!
That’s a lie. Benches shows average 65 fps. Why do you ppl lie about fps?
I’m using AA on Low, not High. I should have specified. Everything else is on the higher setting.
When using AA on low, the game is being rendered at less than native resolution and upscaled with a temporal filter. The higher the AA setting, the closer to native the base resolution is, where AA at the highest settings is almost the same performance rate as AA off, with the resolution running natively.
Why do you ppl accuse others of lying when you have no evidence of the contrary? Here’s a 1440p benchmark, running at 80 FPS avg:
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/SJKX9sshsNKFiqJ5cuWjQR-650-80.png
Yes, 1440p 16:9 has a slightly smaller performance cost than 21:9 @ 1440p, but consider the fact that my GPU is heavily overclocked AND the fact that in the benchmark above, they’re using a higher more demanding AA setting, and it adds up to right what I said: between 80 and 90 FPS.
Why do you fking care anyways? I’m not reporting on a review of hardware that is influencing purchase decisions. I’m sharing my own experience. And I’m hardly bragging, considering other benchmarks suggest similar numbers that I’ve claimed, all things considered.
I care because idiots like you lie about performance all the time and there is no reason to. You said you get 80-90fps on average. That is a straight up lie. 1440p is barely getting to 80FPS with drops into the mid 60s and yet you are running on a much more demanding resolution with over 1.2 million more pixels. You just outed yourself as a tool. As for being jealous, um sure if that helps you sleep at night. I don’t go around lying about random sh*t like a complete moron. I know what I get at 1440p with an 8700k and ti and I know you are not getting more at a higher resolution. Complete moron like most of the people on this site. As for evidence, it’s all over YouTube. Go look it up puppet.
I’m sick of people LIKE YOU that challenge comments not even aimed at you that refer to mounds of evidence that exists to prove your point and instead of providing it properly, you say “go look it up”. The burden of proof is on YOU when YOU make a claim.
You’re exactly right. I have no reason to lie about my performance in this context. It brings me no pleasure to brag, and in a single comment like this I’d have nothing to gain by doing so. I’M NOT LYING about the performance I get in game and you simply claiming that I am does not make it so. I have an overclock over 2 GHz on my GPU and am running the AA at low instead of high like the benchmark I listed above is using, as well as many others you’re probably referring to. On the LOW setting, as I mentioned earlier, the game is being rendered at a lower than native resolution and upscaled. Why the hell wouldn’t I get better performance than other benchmarks with AA off or on high where the resolution rendered is native, or is at least closer to native than on low?? I DO get dips into low 70’s, especially in Memphis in Alexandria, but most of the time I’m in the low 80’s and sometimes exceed the 90’s in low detail desert areas.
I’m not accusing you of being jealous. I’m just trying to figure out aloud why you’re so damned pissy at what I said which, again, was not a lie first of all, and secondly it didn’t remotely concern you. Your reason for “caring” was not a reason. You just restated your initial complaint. If I need to make my own video and show you the performance I’m getting then so be it.
I can’t believe I’ve paid you this much attention to you thus far to be honest. I just fly off the handle when people on the internet pretend they’re all badass and rude by calling people they’ve never even met or spoken to that haven’t even provoked them “morons” and “tools”, as if they’d REALLY talk to people in this way in person if they weren’t shielded behind a keyboard. I’m not going to put any more effort into this ridiculous ordeal other than to say I’d really appreciate if you fckd off from here on. I won’t bother you, you don’t bother me, unless one of us provokes the other first. Me stating my own performance which you don’t personally believe to be accurate is hardly provoking you.
If you’d like to continue being rude and insulting to a stranger for no good reason, then you can kindly suck my di(k
I have to admit…. This sh*t really rubs me the wrong way. Do you have the same specs and resolution as me and you get a lower framerate and it makes you jealous? Why not ask me what I’m doing to see if we can both figure out how to help your performance if that’s the case instead of just accusing me of lying right off the bat, when I’m able to find a counterexample to your claim (which has yet to be cited I’ll add) in seconds, in addition to my own of course.

average is somewhere around 68 fps with couple of dips below 60fps sometimes. On my 1080ti I had even worse results because of weaker CPU, so I consider 68 fps average still a very good result.
Those CPU requirements are outrageous
Soon we are going to need a second deticated CPU just to run all the DRMs games will have.
Denuvo is my favorite company of all time, hopefully more and more DRM companies show up so that we can get a decent competition going on.
Why do you want competition in DRMs? Are you developer or publisher?
Try troll. And you fell victim to it.
KKW?? Is that youuuu?
nope, we argued multiple times when he was around. hopefully he’s in a better place now.
By better place, you do mean dead right? I concurr
They really need to upgrade that engine to support a new API
watch your mouth young man, don’t ask ubishet to spend money and create new mechanics/engine/innovation next time.
I hereby declare jihad on Ubishet, everything you pirate from this sack of a shet company is halal.
There’s absolutely no reason for bumping up the CPU requirements to go to 4K. At 4K the workload shifts to the GPU. If the 3770 is fine at 1080p for 30 FPS then it would be enough at 4K and 30 FPS because the CPU is still only sending draw calls to the GPU for 30 FPS in both cases..
Well, partially true. At 4K the workload shifts to the GPU, assuming, the framerate falls. If the framerate stays the same, the CPU load stays the same. If you’re still pushing a high framerate, the CPU will still have a large workload, especially if alpha effects are being used, which scale CPU use with resolution, generally.
That was the point of my comment. The target framerate is 30 for both 1080p and 4K so there is no need to up the specs for the CPU when going to 4K. You just need to use a beefier GPU to keep up at 4K.
It’s a bit disturbing that the marketing dept. for Ubisoft doesn’t know this and is putting out bad info for PC gamers to take seriously.
Very true. Unless of course there is some sort of CPU intensive alpha effect in place or something.
Or, maybe they’re just clueless?
There is more CPU load at 4K than 1080p, regardless of GPU.
Yes, the ratio of GPU usage/CPU usage increases/decreases, but there’s still more instructions for the CPU to process at higher resolutions. The jump in CPU requirements from minimum to 4K is definitely ridiculous. But the idea that you need a faster CPU to feed higher resolution frames to a GPU is not false.
I havent seen situation like you describe yet. For example my minimal fps in CPU demanding games were exactly the same on both GTX 680 and 1080ti, the only difference was I could play games at MUCH higher resolutions. If what you say would be true, miminal fps would indeed decrease (at least to the poont I could notice thqt difference). I have seen similar situation before when bought GTX 680 after 280 GTX, on top of that PS4P and xbox X consoles both use very weak tablet like CPU yet sony and MS pushed much higher resolutions on them.
Basically the same requrements as origins.
Anyway I have to say Egypt in Origins and Greece are both very beautiful locations for a game. I just wonder what we will see next? Maybe Atlantis? Atlantis was located in Africa after all, so they could connect origins story with atlantis.
https://youtu.be/oDoM4BmoDQM
Atlantis would be great theme for game, beautiful scenery and developers can use their imagination to the fullest
The thing is every description provided by the Plato match perfectly to what’s out there, yet you say there’s no proofs. I bet you havent even watched this video. And BTW. Atlantis was already known story in Egypt depicted in temple of Sais, and Plato was just sharing that ancoent story.
“Crantor came to Sais and saw there in the temple of Neith the column, completely covered with hieroglyphs, on which the history of Atlantis was recorded. Scholars translated it for him, and he testified that their account fully agreed with Plato’s account of Atlantis.” — Otto Muck, philosopher, 1978
So it wasnt just Plato imagination. Also if you consider the latest discoveries from Eypt about pyramids then you will know pyramids were build around 12000 eyars ago, and not by Egiptians, but way older and more advanced civilization. Atlantis in the desert of Sahara is a perfect link.
there is no reason this game should be more demanding than origins
compared to origins in recommended cpu is the same…but gpu…
for origins it was gtx 760/amd 270 for odyssey gtx 970/amd 290x
video memory was 3gb now its 4gb.
expect worst framerates than origins for unchanged visuals
“Targeted framerate: 30 FPS”
Job well done
Think this will be a sale game for me in a year – if I decide to get it. Not sure why this game can run just dandy on a mobile APU at 4k 30 on the xbonex but a far superior CPU and GPU on a PC can’t do at least 60. Either just plain not optimized or DRM. Don’t care what people say, PCs destroy consoles. Something smells with Ubi’s releases and it aint no CPU bound “but it’s open world” garbage because my 4790k and 1080 Ti should STILL be running circles around console APUs.
Wait. Anyone know if they are hw partners again? If so, then it makes sense as a shady way to force us to upgrade.
Visuals are on pair with 2012 games, specs are needed are for 2018 games. it will be another unoptimized/unstable release by Ubesoft which looks and of course runs worst than their 2014 release.
I meet all requirements except the graphics card for 4k max settings since i have RYZEN 1700 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4GB. It has similar requirements to far cry 5 and assasins creed odysey. I played both maxed 1440p and far cry 5 runs at 40 fps average on max settings 1440p while origins at 35 fps on max settings 1440p so i will be ok.
That’s what I call good punch line ;).
Ubisoft Are you trying to say that gtx 660 is equal to r9 285
