System requirements
- A 64-bit system is required.
- For ultra setting the publisher lists an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and 4 GB of VRAM as the minimum requirement.[13]
- The recommended requirements are only for 30FPS, not 60+ as most would expect. The upcoming updates may allow for a GTX 760 to run at 60 with low/med settings, but it is not complete or confirmed yet. Also note most GTX 760s only have 2GB of VRAM, not the recommended 3GB. 2GB should suffice for low/med quality, but 3GB+ is likely desired for high settings.
| Windows | ||
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Recommended | |
| Operating system (OS) | 7 SP1 | 8.1 |
| Processor (CPU) | Intel Core i5-750 2.67 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz |
Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz |
| System memory (RAM) | 6 GB | 8 GB |
| Hard disk drive (HDD) | 45 GB | 55 GB |
| Video card (GPU) | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (2GB Minimum) AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB Minimum)[13] DirectX 11 compatible | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 3 GB of VRAM DirectX 11 compatible |
| Other | Broadband Internet Connection Required to Activate and for some online features | The publisher recommends using an SSD due to mechanical hard drive performance issues.[14] |
