Ubisoft can’t even get the game running at 1080p on Sony’s PlayStation 4 ( it’ll be 900p on both current-gen consoles), so expecting the PC minimum specs to register at current averages was probably wishful thinking. The company notes “Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported.” Ubisoft says it’s only supporting the GTX 680 or better, GTX 700 series, AMD Radeon HD 7970 or better and the Radeon R9 series. Those cards aren’t first-timers in the recommended box it’s the relative narrowness of the gap between minimum and recommended that’s unusual here.
To play with everything turned up in Unity, Ubisoft’s recommending a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X.
