Deus Ex: HR system reqs out as well

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Recommended PC Specs:

OS: Windows 7
PROCESSOR: AMD Phenom II X4 or Intel Core 2 Quad or better
RAM: 2 GB
GRAPHICS: AMD Radeon HD 5850
REQUIRED DISC SPACE: 8.5 GB
( Source )

Doesn't really seem that bad. Nice to see that the game is geared towards multicore. Also, note that while the minimum specs show windows XP, recommended ones only list Win7. So, I'm thinking some DX10/DX11 specific stuff there, perhaps (like in da2?). The ram requirement, though, seems awfully low for these days - I'm hoping that the game itself isn't limited to 32-bit executable.

 

Minimum

OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 with DirectX 9.0c
PROCESSOR: 2 GHz dual core
RAM: 1 GB RAM (Windows XP) / 2 GB (Windows Vista and Windows 7)
GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce 8000 series or ATI Radeon HD 2000 series or better
REQUIRED DISC SPACE: 8.5 GB


And so it begins, as the 8800 GT is finally becoming the minimum recommended GPU. The "mid-range" mobile GPU is being force into a tough spot. The 540M and it's ilk are far below the minimum.

In current-gen GPU terms, you'll need a GT 555M or 6750M, to meet min spec.

Well, hard to say exactly what is the minimum gfx card they want, actually.. 8600s and heck, even 8400s (jolly good laugh all round, ofc) are technically 8000 series..

But realistically I agree, looks like the 8800GT is nearing the minimum. On the one hand - about time, on the other hand - sometimes it's nicer to be able to not worry about framerates, y'know.

In any case - these minimum specs don't really look like 'playable' specs.

 

I'm pretty sure by 8000 series, they don't mean the 8800. I mean, there is no ATI 2000 HD series equivalent to it.

 

so that means 5870m can run the game on medium settings huh? since it's 5770 desktop equivalent

 

Too early to say, frankly - there are still a lot of factors, like the quality of porting, the other stats of your system (cpu, ram, os setup, discs, drivers), how heavy the game is on the gpu in the first place... All those things are often never mentioned/considered..

I'd say there's a good chance that the 5870 will run the game at above medium, but that's just a guess as much as anything.

 

well, I know what I'm getting for the 360.

*glances at his poor 5650*

 

Looks too vague for me still. Don't start creating assumptions just yet. I think we need to see for sure as it looms closer to the release week for any more details. So I think people with the 5650M should still give their GPU some hope...

 

It won't be heavier than Metro 2033 : that's for sure.

You run M2033, you run all this year's games.

 

HD 2900 XT = 8800 GTS 640MB.

With the 5850 set as recommended, I have to doubt that the 8600 GT would make the minimum.

 

Man, I can hardly run Metro 2033 DX11 with my desktop spec (1680x150). Before I know it, I will have to get a new mobo, Crossfire 6850, then 8 core Bulldozer, just to run these new DX11 games!

Of course, this is the price PC gamers pay. Deus Ex makes these crazy spec'd laptops like the M18x actually work like they were designed to, hah!

A 5850 performs better than a 6850, by a little bit, so yeah.

 

With a slight OC ( 60/60 ), I get around 15-25 FPS DX11 and tesselation on High. ( 1920x1080 )

 

I can run Metro 2033.

on low.

with passable FPS and no OCing (dx9 mode). *shrugs* guess we'll see.

 

But, but...

The 5650 is a 5730 with lower clocks... ._.

 

yeah. but it worked well enough (meaning 30ish fps)

heck it was also a 450/800 5650 (at 1600x900)

I dunno, it was ok. On low.

with whatever the lowest possible AA setting was (since it didn't look like I could turn it off) and like trilinear filtering.

and dx9.

it was fine except for those times when it wasn't. Like that escort quest from hell at the end.

 

Then OC the core to 650. It will help a lot.

I play M2033 at 1080p @ DX11 in High getting 15+ FPS. Though I have a 60MHz OC.

 

I can't.

HP undervolted my poor guy to 0.95 volts.

if I touch the ram at all it crashes. If I touch the core much above 550 it crashes.

550 is like..3 fps

 

Well, what do you want from a game whose recommended settings are a i7 Quad and a GTX480?

 

It is playable for me

There are places where I reach 20+...

 

30 is enough for me for both SP and MP.

But the eye candy is irresistible lol

 

Lol my new 6770M just meets the minimum requirements... Oh dear I am getting visions of DX:IW again....

 

I personally can't stand a game dipping below 40 fps, as I really start to feel the input lag around there. Ideally I'd like everything to get at least 60.

I would much rather run a game at 320x240 if it gives me a solid 50 fps than native resolution if I only get 30.

 

A little offtopic, but I remember how I had to lower the detail (F5) and the screen size (+/-) in order to play fluently Doom on my 386 DX 40 Mhz and 512KB Trident VGA It was really important for multiplayer. I think the resolution was 320x240.......

 

Luckily my 90MHz Pentium was up to the task of Doom.

 

my old 50 mhz 486 was up to the task for doom..if I remember correctly.

if not that then at least x-wing cd edition.

 

How are your temps? It is possible to mod the VBIOS to increase your voltage in those things, I did it the other way around (undervolting) on my 5730.

I'm comfortable playing at 1366x768 or 1280x720 if I'm away from home, so hopefully I'll get another year or two of relevant usage out of my laptop.

 

I can actually software up the voltage to 1.0

and then it immediately crashes if you try to game and OC while it's overvolted.

edit: also the bios isn't viewable in gpu-z
