Codemasters reveals system requirements for F1 2015, ahead of July 10 launch

Codemasters has released the system requirements for F1 2015, ahead of its release on July 10. This year's entry is actually designed with next-gen consoles and modern PCs in mind, so it should be a bit of a visual upgrade from last year's disappointing effort.

This time around there's quite a gap between the minimum and recommended specs, so presumably the game will scale down quite nicely for those without monster systems, while still looking sharp on high-end setups. Here's the specs:

Minimum -

OS: Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3.0GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.2GHz

Memory: 4 GB RAM

Graphics: Intel 4th Gen Iris Graphics or AMD HD5770 or NVIDIA GTS450

DirectX: Version 11

Network: Broadband Internet connection

Hard Drive: 20 GB available space

Sound Card: DirectX Compatible soundcard

Recommended -

OS: Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit

Processor: Intel Core i7 4770 or AMD FX 9370

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: Intel 5th Gen Iris Pro or AMD R9 290 or Nvidia GTX970

DirectX: Version 11

Network: Broadband Internet connection

Hard Drive: 20 GB available space

Sound Card: Direct X compatible soundcard

As well as the upgraded graphics, F1 2015 also features improved presentation, updated rosters, and Championship Season mode, which looks to bring some much-needed authenticity back to the series.
