Ubisoft has just revealed the official PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed: Origins. According to the team, PC gamers will need at least an Intel Core i5-2400 or an AMD FX-6350 CPU with 6GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD R9 270 in order to play it on Low settings at 720p.
For 1080p on High settings, PC gamers will need an Intel Core i7- 3770 or an AMD FX-8350 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or an AMD R9 280X. Ubisoft did not clarify what PC gamers will need in order to play the game on Ultra settings and with 60fps.
Ubisoft has also revealed that it will feature a built-in performance benchmark tool via which PC gamers will be able to test the game’s settings.
“The built-in Performance Benchmark will help players validate their tweaked settings, while the in-game Performance Analysis will allow them to profile how their hardware is performing using constant monitoring and tracking of their performance by our engine.”

I just want them to release a Polished/Smooth experience for once in the AC franchise.
This and some decent combat. I mean, recent games just made combat feel like a penalty.
“GTX 760” wtf? misprint?
it seems… nope
Wow, these are really low sys reqs. Hopefully this points towards good optimization. Good on them for also including which video preset those reqs are targeting.
More dev’s need to do that.
That’s what I was thinking. If it can run on low end hardware it should run great on a decent rig. This is the definition of optimized.
Exactly! I agree with both of you, I am pumped for the PC version and already have it ready to go! Can’t wait to play the game on Ultra.
That is what I was thinking as well, they are really low and the game looks really good to me in the vids on the high settings. Seems like they have really good scale-ability, seems really positive.
i want to give this a try but wolfestein is coming and i’m still playing divinity os2
I’m def going to play Wolfenstien first. Give Origins a couple weeks to iron out bugs.
GTX 760 or AMD R9 280X this 2 thning arent in the same league
looks like ubish*t still cripple amd users ……
280X is faster in probably every game you throw at it, but I would not worry. UBI probably used just oldest architecture as bare minimum and 270 would be too slow and there is nothing in between there 🙂 But I am pretty sure 280 will be in AC faster tan 760 as in every other assassin’s game.
Take it or leave it. Pure simple. You can see that behind AC Origins stands Black Flags team. Thanks for specs!!! Now it’s easier to decide between Ps4 Pro or Pc version heheheh.
PC version still is doing UbiLag Kiev 😉
i guess less urban architectures and more open desert with less npc are less heavy than unity and syndicate…or ubisoft stepped up their optimizations…NAHHH! XD
AC: Unity with that Real-Time Global Illumination
Didn’t you wonder why there is not a lot of developers use Real Time GI?
Requirements are mostly the same as for Syndicate, which was a bit better optimized than Unity.
no F**king way? 760?! on a ubisoft title?
i sense deceit…
It says on High preset not normal.
and you actually believe them?
We will see after the release,as this is from the creators of black flag,i wont jump on the bandwagon.
I dont think i am going to have performance issue with gtx 1060,1080p.
oh god, you mean the same developers who made the staggeringly bland AC3 and Rouge?
oh man, i can’t wait for the most bland hunting/looting/crafting system they can put in an AC game
bundled with tedious TAILING MISSIONS (oh so many tailing missions)
and a crappy story that didn’t make much sense nor was memorable
those developers?
that’s it. AC is finished.
Lol, hate as much as you like on every Assassin creed post.Most of open world games are repetitive.
You have to be one of those 20 perc people who hated black flag.
Just wanna remind you this post is about system requirements of a game.
i enjoyed the ezio trilogy throughly
i enjoyed AC1 for it’s innovative (back in 2007) design and gameplay (and setting most importantly)
i enjoyed Unity for it’s ever first “stealth” aspects (crouching, walking around inside buildings) and the setting, it was half-a$$ed though
i forced myself to play through the kenway saga, didn’t even bother with Rogue because blackflag took the only good thing in AC3 and turned it mundane and repedative
i didn’t touch AC london (mad max ripoff combat)
and nor i’m i intending to touch AC origins
because Ubisoft doesn’t give a damn anymore, it’s just dumbed down, consolized “adventure” game with ridiculess story (AC1 was actually belieable but they dropped the ball with AC3)
Ubisoft isn’t gonna do a 180 and produce a quality game, you and i both know it.
AC “London” was the best AC game I’ve played (and I loved Unity). Tweaked to run on ultra and with some minor mods, it’s probly the best looking AC as well.
Only played and finished Unity for its visual,the story and gameplay was not impressive at all also filled with bugs and glitches with bad pc optimization.
Syndicate in the other hand was great, loved the London setting and gameplay, Still Assassin creed 2 will always be my favorite in the series.
likewise, though i preferred the settings of the first game
with the mechanics of the second and it’s expansions
Tbh now that I think about it, people do blow it all out of proportion. My R9 270X handled Syndicate decently at 1080p medium to high settings. And the 760 is faster.
really! no BS but I only if they downgrade the graphic I guess
Seems that 4k Xbonex is really not that special, as if we were surprised. Bunch of empty desert. I love the pirate sim Blag Flag but ran like crap on PC. Hoping they can at least bring some good game.
Does this also have predatory gambling loot crates too like Shadow of Your Money, Forbesa 7, and Battleroulette EEUH 2?
Is this Ubisoft game or some magic happend.
Judging by these specifications, I would expect to be able to play this game on High with a 1080 Ti and 5820K @ 4.6 GHz at 1440p, maintaining at least 90 FPS.
Something really tells me this isn’t going to happen.
I am glad that I finally decided to hop off the multi-GPU train for good though, because it really is a technology that everyone is dropping (NVIDIA was the first to do so!). Despite frequently having poor performance at the start of each release, every AC title thus far was released with multi-GPU support. This one does not.
The real question is “will they use denuvo”,cux i see a day one crack coming.
My suggestion is to donate the 1k$ to poor people.Dont waste your money “UBISOFT”.
wtf? those gpu requirements seem too reasonable lol
Those requirements make no sense whatsoever. You need R9 270 for 720p Low but 280X is enough for 1080p High? There is probably like 3x difference in power required between 720p Low and 1080p High, and those cards are not too far from each other, like 20%. Between just 720p Low and 720p High there is going to be much bigger difference than 20%.
