We have an official source now confirming the insanely highly requirements.

-----------------------

 

According to Steam Hardware Survey only ~ 4,39% of the userbase has a GPU that is GTX 680 and upwards(680, 770, 780, 780 Ti). This means that less than 5% of the userbase meets the minimum requirements for the GPU.

your late to the party, but anay way there all crap and mean nothing (or the game is an unoptimized mess), other then informing you that you need a pc.

[Clyne]

7970...i have a 7870 equivalent

man Ubisoft does keep on digging. 

[Beskamir]

It's idiotic that an 8350 is both in minimum and recommended and therefore I cannot take these specs seriously.

[Lord Pantaloons]

680 as minimum? either that's typical marketing horseshit or this is going to one poorly optimized game.

 

 

 

 

 

It's obviously the former

[MeltingPoint]

Most likely just a result of a poor port. This makes me want to pirate ubisoft games even more. Shhhhh!

[Mindtrickz]

i doubt that's the minimum requirements. 

 

W_D had similar minimum requirements (maybe higher), but I was able to play it on my 7770 upon release. developers tend to up the reqs for some reason.

 

That is the official minimum requirements, and no Watch Dogs did NOT have a similair minimum requirements or higher for that matter. 

 

Watch Dogs' Minimum System Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66Ghz or AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0Ghz
• Memory: 6 GB RAM
• Graphics: GeForce GTX 460 or better

 

Recommended System Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 @3.5 GHz or AMD FX-8350 X8 @ 4 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: GeForce GTX 560 ti or better

I know there was another thread, but this one is from the official Ubisoft homepage while the other was from a random gaming website. It was unconfirmed.

I'm just going to leave this here...

They have finally realised that their consoles are too slow and that is why the minimum requirements are more than 3x as fast as the PS4...ehehehe

Seems like overnight games went from 6GB RAM as 'recommended' to 'minimum.'

 

Like, did we suddenly start using the RAM to hold the entire game, or...

[daemonowner]

I feel like devs should stop putting out these meaningless specs and instead release benchmarks. "We got an average of 47fps with an FX8350 and R9 280". That tells us more, which is why we watch and look up benchmarks from Linus and others.

[Aniallation]

A 780/290X for 30FPS?

[Tonylu1595]

Lol accidentally read it as "8gb video card recommended"

[vern021]

I'm done.

Getting tired of your bullshit Ubisoft.

[Swndlr]

I'm done.

Getting tired of your bullshit Ubisoft.

same...

Haha

 

For 30FPS:

R9 290X2 required

I think Ubisoft are 100% serious with these requirements.  I could only get about 60fps on Ultra @ 1080p with my 4770K and GTX 780 while playing Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag and Watch Dogs. Unity is supposedly bigger than both.

[DigitalHermit]

Who's willing to bet that I can run it on my APU only?

[Lord Pantaloons]

But you weren't running it on minimal or low settings. Saying that a 680 is the minimum is implying that you need a 680 to run the game at the lowest.

[bry.yyyy]

Hey you copying my post

[AlwaysFSX]

So what settings are the consoles running at?

[bob345]

Ubisoft has gone full retard. Seriously, have they learned anything from their previous failures?

[Hazorazor]

If this I'd true then a kid at my school is about to be so sad. He only has a mid range laptop and bought the crazy $200 edition for PC lol. Although they are probably bullshit. If not then it better look amazing.

[AlTech]

I'll pass (770) cos of this nasty console port syndrome
