The next-gen consoles are nearly here, with most people thinking that the minimum requirements on PC games were going to go through the roof: think again. DICE and EA have just released the system requirements for Battlefield 4, which aren't too bad at all:
Minimum:
Popular Now: Linus Tech Tips leaks Steam Frame first impressions, and Valve may be working on native Half-Life: Alyx support- OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit (with KB971512 Platform Update)
- Processor: AMD Athlon X2 2.8 GHz or Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
- Memory: 4 GB
- Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 3870 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
- Graphics Memory: 512 MB
- Hard Drive: 30 GB
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 8 64-bit
- Processor: AMD six-core CPU or Intel quad-core CPU
- Memory: 8 GB
- Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
- Graphics Memory: 3 GB
- Hard Drive: 30 GB
Tackling the minimum requirements, which requires a very weak CPU in today's terms, and a relatively basic GPU. The recommended specs aren't that much higher, but it would look much better with a faster, more capable GPU. The weird thing here is that EA and DICE are actually recommending Windows 8 as a recommended requirement - what the?
