It does not state whether these requirements are only for the beta or the final release

Edit:
They seem to have upgraded the recommended card from a 560 to a 570 on origin.

Looks like I have to save up for a better video card!

Looks like it made my mind up whether to get it on PS3 or PC lol.

GTX460 should be fine if you have a quad core and 4GB mem. can be had for less than $150

[Scratch705]

hmm, looks like i meet the minimum requirements. guess i can play still until i build the new pc.

Guy asked one of the devs on Twitter and they told him that the beta reqs are the same ones as the final version. And that if you want to run the game on Ultra settings you'll need dual 580's.

First game which I just made the recommended requirements on my current rig.

You guys think the Asus UL80VT-A1 will run this game at low or medium settings?

[Max008]

I think i just made the cut. 4gigs of ram. 2.5ghz penryn and 8800m gtx..

It might run it on low settings, but you might not even be able to install it. Minimum sys requirements says 2.4ghz core 2 duo. The asus UL80VT-A1 only has a 1.3ghz core 2 duo. The UL80VT-A1 also has a nVidia GeForce G210M video card, but im not sure if this falls into the "200" series listed in the requirements. If it does run, I really doubt you would be happy with the performance and playability of the game.

Thank you for your input.

While it is technically a 200 series, the performance requirements also specify that it still needs to outperform the older 8800GT, that would require at least the 260m or 280m mobile chipsets. With that CPU as well.... if it does install and actually runs, it's going to look like a slideshow.

[InFamous20]

Well, just my luck...my desktop meets all the requirements except the video card..It isn't even worth buying one because it'll need a stronger power supply. There's not much room for improvement...
