On the AMD side, the recommended video cards are also circa 2013. Ubisoft offers a current alternative, the GTX 970, which is Nvidia's current mid-range enthusiast video card sitting at around $330-350. Why? The GTX 760 usually only has 2GB of VRAM (contrary to Ubisoft's note above) and the 780 is prohibitively expensive. They were around $250 and $600 respectively in their heyday, but there's no reason to hunt them down now. The GTX 760 and 780 both debuted in 2013. On the Nvidia side, these are high-end video cards, but they're not recent. Syndicate requires a GeForce GTX 760 on the high-end, while Unity wanted the beefier 780.

For Syndicate, that's the GeForce GTX 660, a weaker card released months after the 680. As an example, the minimum Nvidia card required for Unity? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680. In fact, the difference comes in a downgrade of the required video cards. The minimum and recommended system specs are nearly the same. On high-end PCs, you'll find support for Nvidia's Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TXAA, Nvidia-hardware exclusive), Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion (HBAO),, and Percentage-Closer Soft Shadows (PCSS), in addition to Multisample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA), Multi-Monitor gaming, AMD Crossfire/Nvidia SLI, and support for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4 controllers.Īt the base-level, I can say this: if you could run Assassin's Creed Unity last year, you can run Syndicate this year. Beyond that, Ubisoft has also outlined high end and Nvidia-specific features you can expect with Assassin's Creed Syndicate. There's also a note from the developers, recommending that you have a video card with at least 3GB of VRAM to play at full HD resolution.

Today, Ubisoft released the minimum and recommended system specifications for running Syndicate on PC.

Unfortunately, console development affects PC as well, so when Syndicate dialed back the graphics on Xbox One and PS4, the PC took a slight hit as well. Assassin's Creed Unity had issues, but it was one of the best-looking PC games last year. Assassin's Creed Syndicate is already out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but if you want the best visual experience, you need to be playing on PC.
