Ladies and gentleman, start your building. Now that GameStop has leaked the PC specs for Battlefield 3, it's time to piece together a new rig that can handle the Frostbite 2 engine.

The specs appeared on the GameStop product page over the weekend, but has since disappeared. Thanks to the lads at Gamerzines, that information is still available for public consumption. Looking at these hardware requirements, they are very similar to the guesses made by the fan site EnterBF3.com this past May.

Minimum:

Hard Drive Space: 15GB for disc version or 10GB for digital version
OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7
Processor: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
Video Card: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible Nvidia/AMD ATI card

Recommended:

Hard Drive Space: 15GB for disc version or 10GB for digital version
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
RAM: 4GB
Video Card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850

We've reached out to EA for confirmation that these are the final specs, but have yet to hear back. Battlefield 3 storms retail on October 25.

My pc can run this game and then some!
by mojomonkey12 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:03 PM

I think I have most of that stuff, probably not though.
by Fews Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:04 PM

Bah, my 5850 might be a bit behind. Otherwise, I'm pretty okay with these reqs. My computer that was ~$1050 a full year ago now meets these pretty well.
by MexicanDodgersFan Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:05 PM

Less demanding than I thought. I was thinking it was going to be another era like Crysis, lol.
by Nirkana Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:05 PM

Man I really gotta upgrade to a better processor, my current one is made of beans xD
by Dustin Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:05 PM

Nice! I may just get this for the PC now because my rig can easily run this. Even the recommended settings are far less than what my PC is able to handle. I'm happy I put the money and time into my gaming PC. I shouldn't have to mess with upgrading for a while.

The Gamestop specs are fake. Confirmed by DICE over twitter and has been said to death on the UK Bf3 forums.

DICE said they haven't released specs to anyone:

They've also been quoted as saying that the hardware to run Bf3 maxed doesn't exist yet.

I just got myself an i7 processor and a GTX550ti last week for the Crysis 2 patch. My machine is ready.
by jets96y Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:08 PM

Ugh I have a mac
by Deidare Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:11 PM

Oh man, look at those tasty specs. I think it might just be a bit too much for my poor little e-machine to handle...
by specter520 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:11 PM

Not that hard to run, at least not for me, i can probably play this on max and maintain more than 60fps 99% of the time
by Soldierx0fxGod Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:11 PM

If only I had $1500+ dollars to throw around.
by kebebasan Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:16 PM

If these are true, than my future build should be able to handle this. Phenom II x4 965 + HD 6870
by obituarymetal123 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:17 PM

nice spec! I can run the game on maximum when its release!!
by thatfoxguy Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:23 PM

I can do that...haha, but it wont look good
by Vox Populi Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:23 PM

***, I need another upgrade :/
by ABCNT Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:31 PM

Lucky me....
by Lancehead255 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:31 PM

Oh well, it's been coming: I need an upgrade. First Witcher 2, now Battlefield 3.
by ASpartan_Kai117 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 04:33 PM

Oh wait, I don't give a ***. I'm getting this on console!!!
