Official Assassins Creed Odyssey system requirements announced by Ubisoft state they have optimised the game for AMD graphics cards and processors, where Ubi and AMD worked together during development. Interestingly they announce the requirements for 30FPS, so the official minimum and recommended system requirements for Assassins Creed Odyssey for 1080p, 720p and 4K are...
Assassins Creed Odyssey Minimum System Requirements (30FPS @ 720p Low Settings)
- OS: Windows 7 64 bit, Win 8.1, Win 10 (64bit only)
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 3.1GHz or Ryzen 3 1200 or AMD FX 6300 3.8GHz

As you can see Ubi have sent through the Assassins Creed Odyssey requirements for achieving 30 frames per second at 720p minimum specs, 1080p recommended specs and 4K recommended specs. When looking at last years AC Origins min requirements we can see that it also needed the GTX 660 to be able to run the game on low settings.
If your PC hardware could run AC: Origins last year then your PC should be able to run Assassins Creed Odyssey in a similar way this year.
If you are wondering what graphics cards series and individual cards are supported by Assassins Creed Odyssey at release on October 5th 2018?
Then the following list of graphics video cards series AMD Radeon R9 285/R9 380/RX 460/RX 560 or better, AMD Radeon 200/300/Fury X/400/500 series, Radeon Vega series: RX Vega 56 or better, NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 660/760/950/1050 or better, GeForce® GTX 600/700/900/10-Series, is the complete list of Assassins Creed Odyssey supported graphics cards at time of release.
Assassins Creed Odyssey will release on PC, PS4 and Xbox ONE in just under a month.
If you are looking to get a solid 60 FPS at 1080p high graphics settings on Assassins Creed Odyssey then we recommend an Intel i7 or Ryzen 5 1600 coupled with at least 8GB RAM, preferably 16GB, and either a GTX 1060 or a AMD R9 Fury.
Looking over these Assassins Creed Odyssey specs and considering performance from the previous title we can offer up some predicted Assassins Creed Odyssey Ultra 1080p requirements for your reference.
Assassins Creed Odyssey Ultra System Requirements (60FPS@ 1080p, predicted)
- OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 4.2 GHz or Ryzen 1700X 3.8GHz
- RAM: 16 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 8GB Video Memory with Shader Model 5.0
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon Vega 56
- RESOLUTION: 1080p
- FPS: 60 frames per second target
- SETTING: Ultra video preset
These Ultra requirements for Assassins Creed Odyssey will get you playing very comfortably with almost all settings turned up to max at 1080p and achieving stable frame rates. This set of hardware is also a good spec for 1440p Assassins Creed Odyssey gameplay. So those people who like to run with a larger monitor size at high or above graphics settings will likely find the Ultra spec a very nice graphical experience in this next installment of AC.
What Game Engine Is Assassins Creed Odyssey Running on?
Like Assassins before it, the Assassins Creed Odyssey will run on the Anvil Engine. The lead dev team on AC Odyssey is Ubisoft Quebec, however there is a dedicated PC team for Odyssey's PC development, which is Ubisoft Kiev.
One unique PC feature for AC Odyssey is Dynamic Resolution Rendering, which untethers the rendered screen resolution to achieve a better frame per second rate.
So for example, you might venture out into the wilds and your Odyssey frame rate starts to drop as your GPU trys to render the greater distances. Instead of losing frame rates the Dynamic Resolution Rendering option would kick in and automatically lower the rendered resolution from say 1080p to 900p in order to gain you back the lost FPS. But once you move back indoors and your FPS naturally raises the rendered resolution goes back up to 1080p.
The PC version of AC Odyssey will also include some benchmarking tools to help compare and refine your games appearance and stability, in accordance to your hardware capabilities. This is always appreciated.
Ok, and as usual lets see if we can help each other out. If you played the previous Assassins Creed, please comment below with what graphics setting you played at, what resolution and what avg frame rate you felt you got, if you can remember what you got or think you got. Or state whether you felt the game ran badly for some reason on your PC setup. Its all helpful.

THIS IS NO ASSASSIN'S CREED !!!! "KICKS UBISOFT"
PC Specs
But it is... this is more true to historical assassin's(hashashins) than previous Assassin's Creed games. Hashashin/Assassin's were arabic warrior that killed in the broad day light infront of as many people as possible to make a statement and make their kill known and then escaped, stealth was rarely a route they took.
Older assassin's creed games were more like ninja's where you strike while noone is looking and aware, silently and then just continue or go off, spying and such, no really hashashin/assassin-like, more like ninja as I said.
Modern assassin's and the ones from the cold war are totally different, they were basically modern, western ninjas.

i made a joke dude chill
PC Specs
Am... I'm chill and was chill when I wrote the comment... It was just a fun fact about a common misconception...
The more interesting thing is what made you think that I'm not chill? O_O
PC Specs
Well... Ubisoft have went off course with AC series but new titles are still really fun to play and overflowing with content.
Only thing that truly bothers me are those super-high system requirements.
I am huge fan of AC games but it appears that i wont be able to afford that luxury in the future.
PC Specs
Let it go Komodo... let it go... leave the pc gaming to people with money.
PC Specs
nah dude heck that! Game on!
PC Specs
6700k 4.4 Ghz | zotack 1070amp Ex. non OC|16Gb ddr4|Win10|Hdd 5900 r\min|Ultra settings, 1080p,FOV-100, avg fps 60-70 in hard scenes.
PC Specs
That's ok kinda, since you use Ultra settings but still.
I thought you'd get at least 80+fps in every scene.
PC Specs
I reduced some settings and got 80 fps, but there are places where the processor load is 80% and the graphics card is 85% load
PC Specs
In that case, it's a software limitation that isn't effectively utilizing the resources of both the GPU and CPU.
PC Specs
Do you get any stuttering, or is the gameplay smooth as silk?
PC Specs
i guess that cpu realy make a difference, i know that id do but by this much
PC Specs
You tried Odyssey?
PC Specs
not yet but they say that its similar to origin so i guessed
PC Specs
good thing i wont be playing this garbage
PC Specs
Why is it garbage?
PC Specs
Yes why garbage? dont judge a game by its optimization
PC Specs
Finally someone who understands
PC Specs
Cant believe in this nonsense such heavy requeriments dear lord and even no SLI support probably they killed assasins creed series on pc, got a 2nd hand gtx 970 runs great on bf V open beta i think i got like 120 to 130 fps with sli
PC Specs
If we are true to PC gaming as it used to be up until around 2010-2011, the greatest and newest games should always push the best available hardware to the limit and slightly beyond.
PC Specs
thats true i will not argue with that, but i think some people will strugle to couple with this kinda of hardware, i didnt like my experience with origins since it didnt backed up SLI and CROSSFIRE support i know few people has it but w/e
PC Specs
I would say that these requirements are pretty normal. as someone who played Unity, Syndicate, and Origins on a gtx 970+4790k+16gb and 1070+7700k+16gb (origins)
PC Specs
on the geforce experience rec. settings i got 40-60 fps on unity and 50-60 in syndicate on 1080p and a gtx 970
and 1440p for origins on a gtx 1070 (geforce experience settings as well) i got anywhere from 30-75.
PC Specs
they are just keeping themselves safe.
PC Specs
same they are pushing my cpu all the way
PC Specs
origins pushed my 7700k so hard the only thing left was to jump out of the monitor and just set it on fire to prove its point
PC Specs
is that really all that's left :p 720p 30fps low. One thing I do find weird do is that while the console's stayed the same (as my pc) the games on there still run roughly the same as when they got introduced but the games on my pc run worse every year.
PC Specs
It's easier to make games if you know the hardware. Making PC games is arguably harder because the devs need to consider a wide range of hardware and program accordingly.
PC Specs
Those are some sky high system requirements for 30 fps.
They are going overboard with those pixels.
PC Specs
I want to believe!
PC Specs
I'd be happy for stable 60-70fps for 1440p
PC Specs
Origins ran MUCH better on Nvidia then AMD so I'm hoping it doesn't run the same way that would suck.
PC Specs
Ahhh,when I remember that people were telling me GTX 1070 is an overkill for 1080p/60 fps... :D
PC Specs
hahaah yea same, but for me, playing modded games like fallout or skyrim, a 1070 isn't even enough XD
PC Specs
No such thing as overkill haha. I use a vega 64 with a freesync ultrawide and running f1 2018 in ultra even that barely hits like 90fps.
PC Specs
ikr, many people dont think that buying much more powerful gpu for lets say 1080p gives you much more longevity. For some reason they think that card will forever be overkill for that resolution. In certain cases it might be not the best scenario but its the option.
PC Specs
My settings are:
Dynamic Resolution-60 FPS
Anti-Aliasing-Adaptive
Shadows-High
Environment Details-Mediu
Texture Detail-High
Tesselation-Very High
Terrain-High
Clutter-Mediu
Fog-Mediu
Water-High
Screen Space Reflections-High
Volumetric Clouds-On
Texture Detail-Low
Character-Mediu
Ambient Occlusion-High
PC Specs
but why shadows high? they are usually what i was lowering in games as it usually affeccted the most with in my opinion no visual diference
PC Specs
My configuration is R9 380 4gb, fx 8350 16 GB RAM I run game to 1080p with details very high, high, medium and low, 30-35-40-50-in inside of a pyramid fps 70 fps. hope to go and my AC Odyssey
PC Specs
Didn't RS do the same thing with Arkham Knight's requirements?
PC Specs
that total BS, that optimization is more than poor, also who would wan't to play something at 30fps, not a true gamer as I can tell, it's just disgusting!
PC Specs
Just remember one thing not everyone can afford equipment to run games at 60+fps But 30fps is much more accessible for a lot of people.
PC Specs
as well gamer is one who enjoy playing games not the one who max them out, i was playing at 30fps most of my gaming life
PC Specs
you're saying this with a 750 ti, surely you can't expect them to optimise a 2019 game for a midrange 2014 GPU and expect it to run at 60 FPS.
PC Specs
"Ubisoft Optimizing Their Games ?? Did They Fall On Their Heads Or Something ??"
PC Specs
well Far Cry series, Tom Clancy's The Division have good optimization.
PC Specs
y forgot for honor as well there are not much games that y can max and have 60 fps like those 4
PC Specs
Well, 30 FPS is just OK ....deep down I know 30 FPS gaming is not a proper gaming.
I am targeting 45 FPS for stable gaming , though optimization is a concern.... :|
PC Specs
60 for me with smooth gameplay not choppy like some.
PC Specs
Well with some mixed setting i quess high with more fps
PC Specs
Guess i'll be skipping this one too, will probably get them in a few years when i upgrade my rig.
PC Specs
Why you can run these games no problem.
PC Specs
probably he wants them on max for best posible expirience he can get
PC Specs
At first i didn't wanna buy it cause people said it's not optimized. After it got cracked i pirated it, played it for 2h and uninstalled. With this rig i couldn't even maintain 60fps inside a village playing on MEDIUM settings. Good thing i didn't buy it when it came out. When i get a upgrade i'll buy the game and play it, it's not a bad game, but optimization could be better.
PC Specs
to me it droped all the time under 30fps but on ultra but as y sayed its only in vilages so its fine, tho i preffer visuals over everything else
