The Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag system requirements do not include Windows XP; so sorry XP users, your computer cannot run this game. One thing that surprises me with the minimum system requirements is that it only requires 2 GB of RAM to work. I thought the game would require more RAM due to its graphics.
[adblockingdetector id=”2″]The Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag release date was on October 29th, 2013. This is the last Assassin’s Creed game that can be played on 32-bit Windows operating systems. The newer 2014 Assassin’s Creed V Unity requires 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 PCs to run. So if you have a fairly fast computer, but are running a 32-bit version of Windows you can only run Assassin’s Creed 1-4.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag PC MINIMUM System Requirements
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit versions)
• PROCESSOR: Intel Core2Quad Q8400 2.6 GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6 GHz OR Better
• MEMORY / RAM: 2 GB
• VIDEO / GRAPHICS CARD: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or AMD Radeon HD 4870 OR Better
• VIDEO / GRAPHICS CARD SPECIAL: 512 MB RAM with Shader Model 4.0 or higher

• HARD DRIVE SPACE: 30 GB

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag PC RECOMMENDED System Requirements
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit versions)
• PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5 2400S 2.5 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 3.0 GHz OR Better
• MEMORY / RAM: 4 GB

AMD Radeon HD 4870, HD 5000, HD 6000, HD 7000 series OR Better

Hello Hisham, no bother.
After looking at your specs, it will run Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. But you must run the game at the lowest graphic settings or else Black Flag will have horrible lag.
The AMD Radeon R5 on laptops shares RAM with your laptop memory. So it is sharing some of that 8 GB of system RAM.

Yes, this laptop easily passes the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag requirements. You will be able to play on high graphic settings.

Ok thanks

Hey Shadow,
Sorry to say that according to Ubisoft, the makers of Black Flag, that laptop will not be able to run Black Flag. The reason is that the processor is too slow. During installation it will give you an error message that translates into saying that the CPU is not fast enough. If it installs you will get a lot of lag while playing it, maybe even freezing your laptop.

Hey can my new laptop run it?
AMD A8 6410 @ 2 GHz (turbo boost to 2.4 GHz)
AMD Radeon HD 8210
750 GB hard disk
8GB ram
thx

Thanks for always posting your full specs. Makes things easier for me 🙂
Yes, this computer will run Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. It passes the minimum requirements but not by a lot. So if you buy Assassin’s Creed Black Flag be prepared to only be able to play the game on low graphic settings.
shadow
Wait so u mean i can run assasins creed black flag on low graphics on my amd a8 6410 laptop?
Joey Cam Post author
Yes you can 🙂
Just don’t try to run Unity on it, will not work out well.
