I'm not sure why a software company would want you to buy a new card.
What it does for me is make me not even consider playing the game.

Seems like they publish these numbers to get people to buy the new nVidia cards. That's it.
That may be true, but I'm a PC gamer. I like a mouse, and I'm not buying it on console. I've considered getting back into AC, but I will not consider it if will run to poorly that it requires a 680 at a minimum, and may be locked at 30 FPS.
I guess my i7 860 and GeForce 480 just doesn't quite cut the mustard anymore.

Playing this game with a mouse and keyboard sounds awful
controller only for me
Why do you assume it runs poorly because it requires a GTX 680?
For all we know, the 680/7970 may be for high settings @ 1080p 60 FPS and the 780/R9 290x for ultra settings 60 FPS..
If the system requirements reflect the game as how the developer intends for it to be played, then they may be fully justified.
Why should the developer list low end hardware that can't even offer a similar experience as the PS4 and Xbox One? And why on Earth would someone with such feeble hardware expect to play such a cutting edge game anyway?
This game is CURRENT gen only, so the bar of entry is much higher than previous games that were designed with last gen in mind.

Experience tells me that a minimum requirement almost always reflects low to medium settings at 30-40 FPS and in many cases, much worse.
I will also add that with such a small performance window between the min and max, it suggests they made zero attempt to scale the graphics. As in, they probably put in zero effort for the PC, which may be reflected in the performance. I understand having difficulties scaling CPU usage, but graphics should be much easier to scale.
I am assuming minimum means minimum. That is usually how it works. Things can change, but I'm basing my current desire based on what is given.It is extremely unlikely that a 680/7970 represents low to medium settings in AC Unity. Both GPUs are much faster than the GPUs found in the consoles which represents the baseline, and should be capable of high settings.
The GTX 780 and R9 290x should be for very high/ultra..
Either they made zero attempt, or they didn't think it was worth the effort. I'm banking on the latter..
Again, why would someone with a low end system play this kind of game to begin with? Being current gen only, AC Unity shouldn't be playable on anything less than mid range hardware.
Gamers with low end hardware either need to upgrade, or get a console..
If they wanted us to buy it on console, they wouldn't waste their time implementing PC technologies such as PCCS, HBAO+, TXAA, hairworks, enhanced surface tessellation etcetera.

You won't get a lot of support on this forum, but we all have our preferences. I am fairly certain that most PC users prefer a mouse and keyboard.
I find it has a different immersive feel. Joysticks make me feel as if I'm controlling my character by remote control. I press a button and the avatar turns in that direction until I let go of the button. With a mouse, my avatar follows the path of my hand movements.
It is an opinion, but that is mine.
No one seems to get that this is the jump that PCs will need to play next gen only ports. Simple. Your old trash Core 2 and 560 Ti will not play it. At all. Forget about it. If Ubisoft actually did a decent job on the port and it runs beautifully on a 780 with 60FPS solid then everyone moaning will know. You want to game on PC in 2014 you need lots of grunt. Of course if its Watch Dogs v2 - oops?
Huh? I play as many games as possible on my controller on my pc. My wrist starts hurting if i play too much on pc with a mouse, w controller no wrist pain.
Only exception is fps where precision is needed, but the only one i play is bf4 & even then for 30 min at a time. Assasins creed 4 is awesome on controller!
