Blizzard has just opened the closed beta for Overwatch and alongside it comes the announcement of system requirements to run the game. Both minimum requirements for running at a goal of 30 fps and recommended requirements for a solid 60 fps have been provided on the game’s blog at Battle.net.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll need to take Overwatch for a ride:
Minimum (targeting 30fps):
Operating system: Windows® Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3 or AMD Phenom™ X3 865
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460, ATI Radeon™ HD 4850, or Intel® HD Graphics 4400
Memory: 768 MB VRAM, 4 GB System RAM
Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space
Recommended (targeting 60fps on Medium settings):
Operating system: Windows® Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
