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.
