System requirements
Windows | ||
---|---|---|
Minimum | Recommended | |
Operating system (OS) | Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8 | |
Processor (CPU) | Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.6 GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 2.6 GHz | Intel Core i5 2400S @ 2.5 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.0 GHz |
System memory (RAM) | 2 GB | 4 GB |
Hard disk drive (HDD) | 30 GB | |
Video card (GPU) | Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 AMD Radeon HD 4870 512 MB of VRAM Shader model 4.0 support |
Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 AMD Radeon HD 5850 1 GB of VRAM Shader model 5.0 support |
- Supported video cards include: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or better, GT400, GT500, GT600, GT700 series or AMD Radeon HD4870 or better, HD5000, HD6000, HD7000 series.
- Laptop graphics cards may work but are not officially supported.
- Dual core processors will, despite the minimum requirements, most likely work.[3] (only LGA1150/LGA1155 dual core processors will, under most circumstances, deliver a playable frame rate - LGA775/LGA1156 and AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1/FM2 dual core CPUs are unlikely to suffice due to significantly lower IPC)
