zarx said:Watch Dogs – PC System Requirements Revealed – 64-Bit Only, Quad-Cores Minimum Requirement
Ubisoft has just released the PC system requirements for Watch Dogs. Ironically, that’s something we wanted to ask the French company in our upcoming interview but… oh well, we were kind of late I guess. What’s interesting here is that Watch Dogs will be a 64-bit only title, and that – according to its list – will support 8-cores CPUs. Not only that, but dual-cores are not even supported. Watch Dogs is built with a new engine called Disrupt, and we are really curious to see how it will perform on modern-day PC systems.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – PC Requirements Also Revealed – Only Supports 64-bit OSs
Assassin’s Creed fans, this is for you. Alongside the PC requirements for Watch Dogs, Ubisoft has also revealed the PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

Overall, it will be interesting to put this game to the test. You can view the complete specs list below. Continue reading

Hmmm... looks like their new engine has been designed to scale with increasing number of threads. I suppose it's not that surprising considering the consoles have 8 cores. I would have thought a quad core i5 would be more than powerful enough to compensate though.
Or it could just be like other PC games where they recommend quad cores but never use more than 2 threads at a time.
