I noticed also, but your conclusion is wrong. It only means they have finalized a large portion of designs (which we knew already) and that they will be relatively close to release (which we also knew already) when the game launches. They likely have their hands on prelim info, and will probably end up addressing some issues for those cards in the first patch...and there will be patches =P

@topic,

Am I the only one who thinks that these requirements aren't horrible? Don't get me wrong they aren't lightweight but they aren't exactly Crysis either....

Video Card: The GeForce 6 series was released in early 2004 which by the time this game is released will be just shy of 4 years ago.

CPU: The recommended is a C2D 2.2Ghz or 4400+ X2, which if you look here and here you will see they are easily within budget for a gaming build. And remember those are recommended specs if you want minimum you can look here (needs a heatsink and fan tho, they're old enough that I don't think newegg carries them retail anymore).

RAM: First glance this sounds crazy until you realize that for basically $60-70 right now you can get 4GB of DDR2 800. But I will definitely agree this 2GB min is ridiculous and highlights some optimization issues that they are having.

Everything else should be easy to meet for anyone even considering playing this game on PC. Hell if you already have a monitor, Hard Drive, Optical Drive, PSU(400W+), and case you can build a mid to high end gaming PC out of those existing parts and probably another $400. For some folks this isn't worth it, not saying everyone should do it. Only that if you're a smart PC gamer you can get by with minimal costs and solid performance.

 The 9's aren't actually a new series, don't fret.  Its basically 2 cards in SLI configuration built onto 2 PCBs and attached together with an "approved cooling solution".  They are optimized to work better than standard SLI does AFAIK but thats it.

actually if you think that you can run Crysis with less than that (even in low settings) and that is the minimum to run AC (and only AC), I think they are asking too much :P of course that you can always buy it, but I don't think it's the kind of game that will make people upgrade their PC's (at least not me haha)

So ... xbox360 and PS3 can definitely run Crysis :p



BenKenobi88 on 22 January 2008

Ya, it's not THAT bad, but when THOSE are the MINIMUM requirements...it's not good, because there's lots of people that don't have a PC that good. It's best to serve the widest range possible.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 So you have to buy 2 seperate cards or do they come together. I wasn't planning on using SLI anyways.

More Ubisoft tripe for PC owners. They can make excellent games from time to time but really (excuse my french here, and no pun intended to Ubi!) they do fuck up time and time again when it comes to porting for the PC.

Oh and to those above mentioned the 'minimum' requirements not being that bad, I guarantee you 100% you will NOT be able to play this on an Nvidia 6 series, the 7 series will be pushing it too.

R6V was a terrible port, and this will be no better.
