Previously Ubisoft noted that there wouldn't be locks on the framerate or resolution and that the recommended system requirements would target 1080p and 30fps.

"This year has seen several upgrades to the series' annual sandbox without any of Unity's deep technical issues," our Tom Phillips wrote in his glowing Assassin's Creed: Syndicate review. Will that hold true for the game's delayed PC port? Looks like we'll find out in a fortnight.
