System requirements

Visual Image Quality

Albeit based on the same game rendering engine that was used in the previous edition the game actually looks good at both HIGH and Ultra quality settings, especially Ultra has very nice sharp textures but annihilates any graphics card.

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows 7.1 SP1 or above (64-bit operating system required)
  • Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2 GB) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2 GB)
  • Storage: 45 GB available space

Recommended:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD FX 8350 Wraith
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 480 - 1920 x 1080 or Nvidia GTX 970 - 1920 x 1080
  • Storage: 55 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: 55 GB HD space includes DLC

The game allows you to tweak all a lot of graphics settings, but has your normal five presets ranging from LOW to ULTRA. You'll be hard-pressed to run ULTRA with a mainstream graphics card though as our tests will show you.

The presets make full use of all the available settings – the 'Ultra' preset is the highest on everything which while the 'Low' preset is the absolute lowest settings on all counts. The game also has an AA mode (temporal anti-aliasing) setting separate to the presets.
  In game you can also set MSAA, but due to performance this is ill-advised.
