Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced revives the 2013 pirate classic with a ground‑up rebuild on the Anvil engine, adding new mechanics, missions, and full ray tracing. The game runs on DirectX 12 and offers two RT modes: Standard (global illumination) and Extended (reflections), though shadows and ambient occlusion remain rasterized. Upscaling is comprehensive—NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel Xe SS all support frame generation (DLSS up to 6×, FSR 2×, Xe SS 4×).

Native TAA, ultra‑wide 21:9 support, and manual sharpening round out the visual options. Our benchmark suite covered 35 GPUs, analyzing frame rates, image quality, and VRAM consumption to gauge hardware needs for smooth play at 1080p‑4K. Results show high‑end cards maintain 60 fps in RT‑Extended, while mid‑range GPUs benefit from DLSS or FSR to hit 45‑50 fps with acceptable quality.

VRAM usage peaks at around 10 GB in the most demanding settings, indicating a 12 GB card is advisable for future‑proofing. Overall, Black Flag Resynced delivers a polished, modern pirate adventure that scales well across the current GPU landscape.
