Assassin's Creed min requirements updated
Some of you may remember our earlier news item about the rather steep minimum requirements of the forthcoming PC version of Ubisoft's hit Assassin's Creed. Those specs were quickly pulled from the web, but Ubisoft have done the right thing and put them back up, with changes.
The differences are minor but they do bring the specs back down, closer to Earth!
Memory Requirements
Previously they were 2GB min, 3GB recommended Now they are just a minimum of 1GB for Windows XP, and 2GB for Windows Vista
Hard Drive Space
Previously 12GB, now 8GB
GPU suggestions
Used to be ATI RADEON X1300 or NVIDIA GeForce 6600 as the lowest Now set to an ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Other than that, the same dual-core CPU and Shader Model 3.0 graphics card requirements are still there. It'll be interesting to see how well the game will run on single-core CPUs (if at all).
