hmmmmm...
i've got a laptop with 2 gig ram, so that's good enough i guess...
got an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600, so that will run it too i guess...
i've got intel core 2 due 2.00 GHZ, so that's under the minimum, but thouldn't it be able to run it with that at some lower settings?
can someone tell me how i check if my laptop has the dual-layer drive DVD-ROM? i guess that shouldn't be a problem, but just in case...
Oh yea, just a side note, my laptop can run Assassin's Creed on DX9 on highest resolution with full details and graphics, i only turn of shadows because they slow down the framerate alot.

Can anyone please tell me if my laptop should be able to run the game? If this one can run it, i'll buy it, if it can't, i'll show you the specs of another laptop i can use, which has 3 GB ram and a better video card.

Thnx in advance!

Damn my video card is the NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE ...

Luckily ive got a PS3 But i´ll have to make some changes in my pc ... thought its a year old only...

Well!!! Its time to upgrade my PC.

Thanks POP Team for giving me those specs which are afforable for me.

Yay, seems that I will be able to run this very nicely Yeeeepeeeee!

The recommened hard-drive space killed me tho... it seems I'll have a lot of uninstalling and clearing to do

Dahaka: I don't think you're going to have any problems either. AC had the same min specs, if I remember it well. And Intel processors don't have problems even if you need a few megs more... I had a friend who could run Double Agent that required 3.0 CPU with his 2.1 singlecore. He didn't have any problems.

I just checked the minimum system req for AC and it seems it's exactly the same as the new PoP the only difference i noticed was the hard drive space, but i've still got plenty of that (seems AC needs 4 GB more than the new PoP)
oh and forget the dual-layer stuff i said, AC needed it so i've got it xD
looks like i'm buying this

I never know what this means. I know I have a dual core 1.9Ghz AMD processor. What do all the other numbers mean?

No problem, my PC runs it easly.

What about the HD4000 series?

It's not officially supported but as if it's more powerful than the above cards then it'll probably work but no guarantees.

Interesting... Nvidia GX2 series and Radeon HD4000 seried are not mentioned although they are the strongest on market...

If they are the strongest, i doubt they won't work >_>
besides, i think most people have the medium cards and not the strongest ones... that's what i hate about computers: buy the strongest computer, next month there's a stronger one.. next year u can't run a few next-gen games any more... buy,buy,buy,money,money,money xD

my Pc will be able to run it fine, going by these specs anyway

It's still surprising to see that the ATI HD4000 and NVidia GTX 200 series aren't officially supported, even thought they're the obvious choice for PC gamers right now. This is especially a problem when people with a HD 4000 or Nvidia GTX 200 series contact Ubisoft Tech Support, since they can just blame any problem with the game on the "unsupported" video card.

Send me a few of those graphics cards and I'll test them for you, deal?

Haha.
There's no way my 4 year old PC is gonna handle. Most of the parts mentioned there outdate what I currently have.
Guess I'll have to start thinking about investing into my first ever console.

Wow, this game is gonna run like Minesweeper on my computer.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

Sh 3.0 ey? Good thing I don't want this game or else I'd immediately run to the shop to get a new gpu

Lol what's up with that indeed.

o_O The 4000HD and 9000 series are not supported?!

So the game will be more stable on my 2600 cards than on the 4870?! lol thank god I didn't upgrade them

You're trying to tell me Ubisoft can't afford 200$ GPUs? I didn't think the financial crisis have affected it that much
