Wow, that’s pretty heavy.. My, soon 1 year old, beast of a computer beats them but not by much. GTX650? That’s almost crazy..
This surprised me actually. I will admit the recs are a bit higher than I would have thought (because they said repeatedly really old computer could play it). I do thankfully have an i7 on both my laptop and desktop…though the video card is what would concern me most. Apparently the card they want you to run has about 1 gb of memory (unless I looked that up wrong). I am no tech expert, but I assume if you have 1 gb or more, you should be good to go!
Wow, that’s heavy. My brand-new computer doesn’t beat it by much…(my video card is actually a GTX650). That’s… interesting.
