Watch out for these Requirements Dogs!
Ubisoft have officially revealed the system requirements for their upcoming open-world hacking simulator on the Uplay store (Click Read More button to view them). Let's just say the requirements are very beefy, so-to-speak. You'll be required to have a good amount of RAM, at least 6GBs worth to run but 8GB is recommended. We also learn that it'll be required to have a 64bit Operating System, which is possibly one of the first known titles to push the boundaries like this, a very good thing to see. Now for a full rundown of the requirements, for people who are too lazy to browse or are unsure of where to find them, you'll find them down below:
Minimum
Supported OS: Windows Vista SP2 64bit, Windows 7 SP1 64bit, Windows 8 64bit

If you fall below some of the minimum requirements, I wouldn't panic if I were you, as these are only guidelines, even though it is official. Otherwise, some may want to consider an upgrade, if you want to match the hardware requirements for the new generation of graphic defying games which coincide with our console brethren. Do any of you meet or fall below the requirements? Are you planning or considering an upgrade after reading this? Let us know below.

It depends. They're so-so on Nvidia. It's us AMD users that get the short straw

Well latest games were pretty good. AC:B, AC:R, AC3, FC3. These are the ones I played and enjoyed.

Have you ever played a Ubisoft game just after release, Stunt? They're NEVER optimized well. :P

More important question. Have they finally learned the meaning of the word "optimised"?
