Crytek has clarified the required specifications that were posted last week for its upcoming PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome, and added some examples of tech that you can use to eke the best performance out of the game.
The original specs, posted on the game’s Steam store page, were apparently for 4K gameplay. Now we’ve got revised versions for us peasants without top quality gear.
”Since there was some initial confusion about the System Requirements (as we originally posted the specs needed for 4k as recommended on the Store page),” explains Crytek, ”we wanted to give you a bit more insight into the system requirements to run the game and some examples of fitting CPUs and GPUs in the three categories.”
Yeah, so you still need a pretty hardcore setup, which won’t surprise anyone who’s played a Crytek game on PC before. The PC version of Ryse is coming on October 10. Without further ado, here’s the newly listed specs:
