‘Crysis 3’ PC System Requirements Revealed
Crytek has built up a bit of a reputation for making beautiful PC games that require top-end hardware to run on the highest settings, and that isn’t set to change much with Crysis 3.
Over the weekend, Crytek revealed what sort of hardware your PC will need to be packing in order to play Crysis 3. And, as suggested, playing Crysis 3 on its highest setting is going to require a fairly modern PC.
The absolute bare minimum requirements asks for a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTS 450-equivalent graphics card.
As for the recommended requirements, you’ll need at least a quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and a Nvidia GTX 560-equivalent graphics card.
While those are the recommended requirements, you’ll need even more than that if you hope to play the game maxed out. For Intel/Nvidia users, Crytek says you’ll be needing a Intel Core i7-2600k, a NVidia GTX 680 or greater, and 8GB of RAM.
