Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a historical setting, moving through one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The view is from a third person view. The publisher supplies 13 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Assassin's Creed Syndicate is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Assassin's Creed Syndicate. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Assassin's Creed Syndicate within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Assassin's Creed Syndicate?
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon R9 270 (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0), 6 GB RAM, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.95x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.22x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.99x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
