Two videos are out from Ubisoft in order (I guess) to justify the extreme minimum requirements:
One for US:
And one for UK:
Here is the article from techreport:
The net Assassin's Creed game will have pretty steep hardware requirements on the PC. Will it justify them with proportionately awesome eye candy? The jury's still out, but Ubisoft has posted a clip that gives us a small taste of what to expect:
The clip is mostly about GeForce graphics cards. However, aside from TXAA, all of the rendering techniques shown should also work on Radeons. (TXAA was introduced with the GeForce GTX 680 and remains an Nvidia-only feature.)
Honestly, it all looks pretty good to me. I'm still a little shocked that the game pretty much requires a $250 graphics card as a minimum, but then again, the PlayStation 4 version is stuck at 1600x900 with a 30 FPS cap—and that console's graphics hardware is faster than the old Radeon HD 7850. To hit 1080p at 60 FPS, which is what I'd want as a PC gamer, faster hardware is understandably called for.

Assassin’s Creed Unity Looks Truly Wonderful on PC – NVIDIA Tech Optimizations for GeForce GTX Cards Showcased
Ubisoft has been showing off Assassin’s Creed Unity, the latest installment in the remarkable and most critically acclaimed historical fiction action-adventure open world stealth video game, ever since it was officially revealed early this year, and if one thing that if said, will stand truly fit for the game, is that being the most graphically advanced Assassin’s Creed title ever, it looks absolutely wonderful on latest consoles and PC. You can check out the latest Assassin’s Creed Unity NVIDIA tech optimizations for GeForce GTX graphics cards on PC in the new video below.
NVIDIA Graphical Optimizations and Features Visually Enhance Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC – the Game Looks Absolutely Jaw-Dropping
Promising to offer almost everything that previous titles in the Assassin’s Creed series lacked, the upcoming next-gen exclusive Assassin’s Creed Unity is boasted as the best and most alluring game in Ubisoft’s historical fiction video game franchise. Not only the game features advanced graphics and textures that make the in-game 18th century Paris look admirably photorealistic, it also offers “completely rebuilt” stealth, combat, traversal mechanics, and other improved elements that combine together to offer an overall rich and immersive gameplay experience.
All the good stuff that Assassin’s Creed Unity packs will be displayed at a native resolution of 900p and 30 frames per second on latest video game consoles, but of course, PC players will be able to enjoy the game at full HD 1080p resolution and even higher, though only if their machine packs that massive power that the game demands to layout all those pixels. As reported almost a week ago, running Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC won’t be easy for everyone, for even the minimum system requirements list a Core i5-2500K processor and GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 or above with at least 2GB of VRAM as necessary pieces of hardware to run the game.
If the game requires such hardware power to run on PC, it will most certainly make players’ in-game time worthwhile with all the advanced graphical technology working to offer most immersive Assassin’s Creed experience ever. A new video that was released today on Assassin’s Creed UK YouTube page shows some advanced NVIDIA graphical optimization and features that have been designed for GeForce GTX graphics cards. Assassin’s Creed Unity already looks splendid on latest platforms, but these additional implementations, such as temporal anti-aliasing and percentage-closer soft shadows, give a great boost to the graphic quality of the game.
