Assassin's Creed Unity system requirements

To run the Assassin's Creed Unity system requirements, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU, an Intel Core i5 2500K CPU, 6GB of RAM, and 50GB of space.

The AC Unity PC requirements aren't challenging in the least for modern gaming rigs, and even older gaming laptops and PCs. In fact, even the developer's recommendations for hardware shouldn't be out of reach for any machine that's less than five-years-old. 

The Assassin's Creed Unity minimum requirements only call for an AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card, an AMD Ryzen FX-8350 processor, and 6GB of RAM. 

As for the Assassin's Creed Unity recommended specs, they only require an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X GPU, an Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD Ryzen FX-8350 CPU, and 8GB of RAM. Interestingly, the recommended and minimum AMD CPU are identical, but that isn't too much of a surprise when the "jump" between the minimum and recommended specs overall are so small.
