The recommended specifications for the PC version of the forthcoming Battlefield 3 video game have been released by EA.
As expected, those who prefer PC gaming over the use of consoles will have to have a top of the range system if they are to run B3 smoothly on higher details.
Also detailed were the bare minimum specs that are required just to get the game up and running.
The operating system Windows 7 is recommended, as is a quad-core processor – although a dual core system is acceptable. There are more details on the specifics below.
A massive 20GB of hard drive space is also required to play the game, whilst the recommended RAM is 2GB – although ideally you would have 4GB.
As you can imagine, only the best graphics cards on the market will suffice for such a visually powerful game – again, more details are stated below.
Funnily enough, the official specs also state that you’ll need a keyboard and mouse.
The full lists of specs are as follows:
Minimum System Requirements
OS: WINDOWS VISTA (SERVICE PACK 2) 32-BIT
PROCESSOR: 2 GHZ DUAL CORE (CORE 2 DUO 2.4 GHZ OR ALTHON X2 2.7 GHZ)
MEMORY: 2 GB
HARD DRIVE: 20 GB
GRAPHICS CARD (AMD): DIRECTX 10.1 COMPATIBLE WITH 512 MB RAM (ATI RADEON 3000, 4000, 5000 OR 6000 SERIES, WITH ATI RADEON 3870 OR HIGHER PERFORMANCE)
GRAPHICS CARD (NVIDIA): DIRECTX 10.0 COMPATIBLE WITH 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 OR 500 SERIES WITH NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT OR HIGHER PERFORMANCE)
SOUND CARD: DIRECTX COMPATIBLE
KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
DVD ROM DRIVE
Recommended System Requirements
OS: WINDOWS 7 64-BIT
PROCESSOR: QUAD-CORE CPU
