Comments
  • how much would it costs for a setup that could run on high settings?
  • My computer weeps in its ineptitude.
  • My computer easily meets all the hi-performance requirements besides the graphics card. I run two though so perhaps that would make a difference... Maybe I'll just upgrade before this game comes out in February anyways.

  • I'm glad to see my PC meets most of the hi-performance specs, but I was thinking about buying a GTX 680 once the new series hits next year to replace my existing 560 Ti.
  • Yup, I can still run it above recommended, but just under HIGH.

  • Slight error: Under Recommended System Operating Requirements, it says you need a "Quad Core GPU". I think that should be CPU. :)
  • High specs easily beaten :)
  • My laptops got the recommended topped so im happy.

  • Have bows become a staple now in FPS games? Not that I'm complaining I like bows and it's a good way to silently kill someone, but it does leave a bit of obvious evidence :p
  • whit the amd fx-6100 will i be able to run this on high perfomance?

  • Eh, my OC'd GTX670 should be good enough to Max out and still run fast enough. I meet the CPU and RAM requirements, so bring it on.
  • Sigh, my computer will die if I even try to play this. I can play maybe on Mid... Currently play Blacklight: Retribution on near-max settings, so here's hoping.

  • Or play it on a 200$ console from 2005..
  • I'm glad games are now posting "Hi-Performance" specs as well, in addition to the standard minimum/recommended. Also glad to currently be within the current parameters for "Hi"
  • I have a good PC system devoted to PC gaming and it just cringed when we looked at those requirements.

  • nice. i can play this game on hi-settings!
  • I've got recommended! :D

  • Wow.  Those are some pretty hefty specs.
