info_outline Note: Official system requirements from Ubisoft (as of game launch). Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is recommended for optimal performance.
laptop_windows Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's Total Graphics Power (TGP). The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers for the game's original release period. **Modern laptop GPUs (NVIDIA RTX 30-series, RTX 40-series, and newer AMD equivalents) will significantly exceed these original recommendations and offer excellent performance across all resolutions.**
info_outline GPU TGP: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
info_outline Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling during demanding gameplay.
info_outline CPU Power Limits: Laptops with higher CPU power limits can maintain boost clocks longer.
info_outline MUX Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch (if available) or ensuring the dedicated GPU is prioritized over integrated graphics (via NVIDIA Control Panel/AMD Software) is recommended for optimal framerates.
build Optimization Note: Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Water Quality, Volumetric Fog, and Anti-Aliasing heavily impact performance.
