AC Black Flag Remake Specs Concern

[Omega83]

Hi guys. I am wanting to get the AC Black Flag Remake when it releases in July, but I am concerned about the requirements, mainly for the Graphics Card. For "High" settings, they recommend Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 with 10GB VRAM. My laptop has an Nvidia RTX 5060, but it has 8GB VRAM. Here are my other laptop specs:

- 32GB System RAM
- AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX @ 3.60 GHz
- Native resolution 2560*1600

Do you guys think my laptop will be able to play game somewhat decently, and in my native res? Thoughts and help appreciated 🙂

Hi guys. Do you guys think my laptop specs are ok to run AC Black Flag Remake somewhat decently, and at my native res of 2560*1600? Thoughts appreciated 🙂

System requirements

your CPU:

beats all choices

GPU not so simple. you may need to reduce settings to get it to fit into VRAM.

To be honest, only way we know is when people get hands on the game and can run tests on the cards. Hardware Unboxed will probably do one when the game releases. They don't have anything else to do, so showing settings for games is something to keep channel alive.

techpowerup will do the same.

Recommended specs for the most recent Lego game don't match reality. It says you need way more than you do, so... wait until videos are made to confirm they are true


in other words, don't pre order it.

I think your laptop should be able to run the game, but the main thing to watch is the 8GB VRAM on the RTX 5060 laptop GPU. Your CPU looks strong, and 32GB RAM is more than enough, so the possible limitation will probably be GPU/VRAM, especially at 2560x1600.


If the game is well optimized, you should be fine by lowering texture quality or using DLSS/Frame Generation if available. But I wouldn’t expect to run it comfortably at native 2560x1600 with very high textures and everything maxed out. For a smoother experience, I’d probably aim for medium/high settings, DLSS Quality or Balanced, and keep an eye on VRAM usage.


So I agree with the advice above: don’t preorder just based on the official specs. Wait for real laptop benchmarks after release, because laptop GPUs can perform very differently depending on wattage and cooling.
