change of supported video cards?

[hoarmurath]

When exactly the list of supported video cards changed? On the box, it is :

ATI® : 4850/4870/5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970
NVidia® : 8800/8900/250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

and now on steam it is :

ATI® : 5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970
NVidia® : 250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

I would like an explanation about the change, is one of those lists of supported video cards incorrect, if so, which one?

I noticed this too.

Explanation is simple, and obvious to anyone playing it, the requirement are higher than originally stated.

Therefore its only sensible for them to up the minimum spec card to be able to play.. this should reduce the number of people buying the game who do not have the hardware to be able to play it.

Are you annoyed at this?

Not at all, all i have to do now is contact ubisoft to get reimbursed for the game.
