Hi All,
There has been many posts recently asking if the game can run on certain hardware, the answer is yes - if you meet these requirements:
MINIMUM
Operating System: Windows Vista SP2 64bit, Windows 7 SP1 64bit, Windows 8 64bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66Ghz or AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0Ghz
RAM: 6GB
Video card: 1024 VRAM DirectX 11 with Shader Model 5.0 (see supported list)
DirectX: DirectX June 2010 Redistributable
Disk Space: 20 Gb
Sound: DirectX 9 compatible Sound Card
Peripherals: Windows-compatible keyboard and mouse required, optional controller
Note: This product supports 64-bit operating systems ONLY
RECOMMENDED
Operating System: Windows Vista SP2 64bit, Windows 7 SP1 64bit, Windows 8 64bit
Processor: Core i7 3770 @ 3.5Ghz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0Ghz or better
RAM: 8GB or more
Video card: 2048 VRAM DirectX 11 with Shader Model 5.0 or higher (see supported list) or better
Supported video cards at the time of release:
Nvidia GeForce GTX460 or better, GTX500, GTX600, GTX700 series;
AMD Radeon HD5850 or better, HD6000, HD7000, R7 and R9 series
Intel® Iris™ Pro HD 5200
Laptops - though not officially supported - may work, however performance may suffer due to differences - so please make sure drivers etc are upto date and you meet these requirements.
Any changes from these requirements in your hardware - lower than minimum requirements - may result in the game not working, so please use these requirements as a guide.
Nvidia have a graphics card testing page, which will test your GPU against the requirements: http://www.geforce.com/games-applica...s/gpu-analyzer
If you post asking for advice from the community about your system - please remember - no one has any real idea of how the game will react to lower than required hardware - so any guesses are just that, same goes for people asking for frame rate quotes - these can vary greatly due to drivers etc and if you purchase the game and do not manage to get that performance, no one is to blame.
Thanks!
I was kind of waiting on this post, so many posts about "can I run this game"
If you have a desktop and want to know if you can run this game without comparing (because you don't have any knowledge of hardware) you can visit this site:
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com
it will scan your PC and tells you exactly if you have the minimum or recommended requirements. And if you haven't what you have to do to upgrade your PC.
I don't have knowledge of laptop graphic cards and the site won't check my laptop for some reason.
Everything on my laptop is so much better than needed for WD so I think my laptop will run it but I'm not 100% sure about my graphic card.

The problem is many people don't know where their PC stands so listing the official requirements unfortunately does not help much.
Ubisoft does not give any indication as to what kind of targets those specs are supposed to shoot for. It would be a sensitive move to do that, surely they must have something in mind when they release official specs. Until they do that the forums will forever be filled with people confused as to what specs truly mean and flying off the handle because they don't run the game as well as they think they should.
There are sadly many factors which can make or break your PC experience, be sure to take great care of your PC.
Install anti-viruses, pay attention to Windows' event logger, monitor your PC using quality software (Real Temp, CPUID Hardware Monitor, Speedfan, CPU-Z/GPU-Z) and be realistic in your expectations. Update your drivers regularly and don't hesitate to check the "clean install" box if you use Nvidia.
PC is not a console, as such it requires a bit of know-how and tweaking.
PC is not a "one size fits all" gaming machine, you will have to tweak and experiment to find the right balance unless you have a very powerful machine (and you should not even be reading that post).
Nothing you haven't heard before but I think it's still useful to repeat that.
I'm not optimistic it will run the game all that well. Laptops are not supported and it means what it means : even though on paper you may be able to run the game in practice you can end up with erratic performance.Everything on my laptop is so much better than needed for WD so I think my laptop will run it but I'm not 100% sure about my graphic card.

Be warned. There is no guarantee the game will perform decently.
Well said, my friend.Originally Posted by BlastThyName Go to original post
Please keep in mind that if you are unsure of your computers capability then there is a chance something will not seem "right" when trying to run the game on ultra. If this is the case, it is possible you will have to upgrade some hardware or lower your in-game settings. However, the information in Mr_Shade's post should help you in figuring this out.
Hopefully this will reduce if not stop the constant threads of "Can I run this."
Youtube is an amazing place for a crash course in learning about PC components and the latest and greatest CPU's and GPU's on top of everything else. NCIX tech tips and Linus tech tips is a great place to start.
If you don't know if your PC can run this on Ultra best to assume you can't. For the two components alone to run this on Ultra you are looking at at least .£730. That's two parts out of everything else.

Don't take it the wrong way but the system requirements are at the top where Mr_shade posted them. If you are still unsure or not all that well informed use http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri to get a the short answer. But it is always best to pick it up and learn yourself.Originally Posted by Felipson20 Go to original post
