Assassin’s Creed Origins is a significant title in the series. It saved a dying but great series and was the title of revolution. Assassin’s Creed shifted from a narrative-driven open-world game to an RPG series. Origins was critically praised for its awesome visuals, gameplay mechanics, open world, and story. But despite the crazy visual fidelity of Assassin’s Creed Origins, the minimum requirements aren’t that high. Ubisoft requires you to have at least an Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz or an AMD FX 6350 @ 3.9 GHz combined with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2 GB or an AMD Radeon R9 270 2 GB. This system will get the game up and running at 720p 30fps using the lowest settings.
To squeeze out the maximum visual fidelity at 1080p settings, you need an Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.5 GHz or an AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz coupled with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (4GB) or an AMD Radeon R9 280X (3GB). The recommended requirements are paltry compared to the 2021 standards.
