Well if your going to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ than don't come here. Some people cant immediatly purchase $1,000 computers.

[eguy4]

im not being ass...im seriously inquiring if you are joking/trolling. the answer is aparantly no. to explain. you dont have a gpu of any kind but the integrated on on your cpu chip. basicly this means you cant run this game (or any new game for that matter). you cpu in of itself is so old that it wouldnt even be able to handle ac3 probably. if you have to money you could build a rig for around $500 depending on how much you can recycle from the old one. if you cant....well...dont try and buy this game; youd just be throwing money down the trash.

Your right Batman OA, Bioshock infinte and BF3 are old games that I can't run. Too bad I finished all 3 on what is it... THIS VERY COMPUTER???

[eguy4]

yes you are able to play those games on your comp. and why you are able to do so is because you meet the min requirements. for example bioshock infite's:

OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 32-bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.4 GHz / AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHZ
RAM: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 20 GB free
Video Card: DirectX10 Compatible ATI Radeon 3870 / NVIDIA 8800 GT / Intel HD 3000 Integrated Graphics
Video Card Memory: 512 MB
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

from that you have the core 2 duo at 2.5 which is higher than the 2.3 they are asking for and the game runs at integrated graphics of intel hd 3000

ac4 on the other hand has system requirments of a completely different nature:

Operating System: Windows Vista SP SP1 or Windows 7 or Windows 8 (both 32/64bit versions)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.6 GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6 GHz
RAM: 2GB for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or AMD Radeon HD 4870 (512MB VRAM with Shader Model 4.0 or higher)
DirectX: DirectX June 2010 Redistributable
Disk Space: 30 Gb
Sound: DirectX compatible sound card with latest drivers
Peripherals: Windows-compliant keyboard and mouse required, optional controller

you have a core 2 duo but this is asking for a core 2 quad at the very least. meaning you are short 2 cores. next this game doesnt support integrated graphics which means your intel hd 3000 isnt enough. you need an actual dedicated gpu.

if you dont believe me thats fine by me. im not going to loose sleep over it. im just trying to tell you what you asked this form for.

and on a side note the reason this is so much higher in specs is because its a next gen port not a current gen port.

It might run, it might not. I'm going to go with minimum settings at less than 720p to keep it playable.

So does that mean my pc is not optomized for it or that I just don't have a good enough graphics card? I'm stuck with a laptop until Winter which sucks but seeing as how yu know a lot about this what kind of card do I want? Also is a powerful duel core Ok for games instead of a quade?

[eguy4]

ill take that one part at a time. first of you cant upgrade laptops (which im guessing is the rig you described above; for future reference please put that in the description- its important).

next bit. yes your card isnt good enough or rather you dont have one. you simply have a small chip attached to your processor. that is called the intel hd 3000.

next is what this all boils down to. you need a new rig. a desktop would be nice. but you probably dont have all the periphels (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc) and if you have to buy those too then it will get expensive as hell (im assuming you want to keep this cheap as posssible- if im wrong then correct me).

so if a desktop is out of the question that means a laptop is what you want. now good ones are defenitly in the range of a 1000 but this is way cheaper than building a destop + peripherals (as hard as this may be to believe). what you want in it is to basicly meet the current recomended requirements (if not knock them out of the park) so not only can you play this, but also other games in the future.

so to continue you want a good i5 or i7 and a decent gpu. now laptop builds obviously differ by quite a bit. so the trick here is is to get as many cores as possible without sacraficing too much ghz. for example an i5 with 3.0 ghz is better than i7 at 2.4 despite the fact that the i7 may be more expensive. at the same time an i7 at 3.0 would def be better than the i5 at 3.0 (obviously the i5 would be cheaper). as for gpu. my personal prefernce is nvidia card. and this is pretty standard. you take as high a number as you can afford. the recomonded for ac4 is 470. so try and get at least that if not higher. now this may be a bit tricky because although its higher it might not be better. the way to tell is to think series. so 400, 500, 600, 700. those are higher in that order. then to think by low, middle, high end cards. so 410, 420(low end) , 430, 440, 450(middle) 460...490 would be higher in that order. so for example although it may seem that 510 is high than 490, thats not right because its a low end card in only one higher series. so the trick is to compare the same bracket of cards and go up in series. so if you want a card better than 470, try getting something like 560 and up.

now as for the rest. hard drive doesnt matter (if you run out of space then a cheap external is fine). 4 gb ram is a must. and try to get 1gb ddr3 or more of the gpu. everything else is up to you.

I plan on getting a desktop. But I was wondering, I found one with a gtx 660. Will that be enough to keep me from buying a new card for a while?

[eguy4]

a gtx 660 is very good card and will defenity keep you from getting a new card for a good long while. but you also need to look at the rest of the system. you need to look at the processor to make sure there isnt a bottlenecked pc. you can have the best graphics card in the world but if its attached to a processor that doesnt run fast enough for it, then its a wasted. post the rest of the specs so i can tell you.

i7 4770k 3.50 GHZ 8mb I think thats the processor. For the computer heres the link. Its' a company my friend told me about. IDK if you want to look through the whole thing

[eguy4]

that would defenity keep you set for the long run. probably the next 4 years (maybe more). if you still have concerns, i suggest you contact ubisoft support. they will defenitly be able to confirm whether or not the desktop you plan to buy will be able to run the game or not.

ok thanks for you time

[eguy4]

no problem. sorry for getting of on the wrong foot.
