What GPU is needed for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced? Test results

05:29 / 14.07.2026·54·Technology

The recently released Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has captured the attention of many gamers with its graphical capabilities and system requirements. Experts at TechPowerUp tested 35 different types of GPUs to examine the technical state of this project. It turns out that while the game is not as demanding as the heaviest Unreal Engine 5 projects, it requires modern and powerful hardware to achieve a stable frame rate. This is reported by Ixbt.com reports .

According to the test results, to get 60 frames per second (FPS) at Full HD (1080p) resolution with maximum graphics settings, users will need GPUs at the level of NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti or the new generation RTX 5060. This shows that the game creates a significant load even for mid-range computers. It is worth noting that all tests were conducted without image upscaling technologies.

High-quality image and Radeon superiority

When increasing the quality to 1440p, the requirements increase even further. To have a stable 60 FPS in this mode, at least an RTX 5070 GPU is required. Interestingly, AMD Radeon cards demonstrated high efficiency in this game. For example, the RX 9070 XT model almost matched the RTX 5080 at 1440p resolution, whereas it was expected to compete with the RTX 5070 Ti.

When it comes to the highest 4K resolution, only a few flagships on the market can handle the task. Experts report that at this level, almost no card other than the RTX 5090, RTX 4090, and RTX 5080 can keep the frame rate above 60. This confirms how visually rich and resource-hungry the game is.

Ray Tracing and technologies

When Ray Tracing technology is enabled, performance drops sharply. Even the most powerful RTX 5090 GPU showed a result of only around 65 FPS at 4K resolution with Ray Tracing. This situation indicates how complex the game's visual effects are.

Nevertheless, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced supports all the advanced achievements of the modern market. The game includes image scaling and frame generation technologies from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. This allows owners of slightly weaker systems to enjoy the game by optimizing settings. TechPowerUp analysts rated the game's overall visual appearance highly.
