It’s likely quite a few people are looking forward to Vampyr, an upcoming game by DontNod Entertainment which is one of the year’s most hotly anticipated releases. Of course, DontNod are better known for their 2015 episodic adventure Life is Strange, which surely ranks as one of the best games released in the last couple of years, so it’s clear expectations for Vampyr are pretty high.
And those planning to get the PC version of the game once it’s released in early June will surely want to know what kind of machine will be needed to get the most out of the game, and whether their PC cuts the mustard and can run Vampyr.
Thankfully system requirements are now available on the game’s Steam page, while video card maker Nvidia has now published 4K system requirements too, so that those wanting to enjoy the game in glorious ultra-high definition will know whether their machine makes the cut or not.
Fortunately though, the game’s minimum system requirements are more than reasonable, and you will be able to make do with an Intel i3-2130 or AMD FX-4100 processor and 8 GB of memory in order to play the game. A GeForce GTX 660 card equipped with 2 GB of memory or Radeon R7 370 will also suffice to get the game going, while 20 GB of disk space will be a necessary to install the game.
Those wanting to play at 1080p resolution and high detail settings will obviously be needing a beefier rig, and an i7-3930K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor will be necessary, while 16 GB is the recommended amount of memory here. Meanwhile, your PC will need to be running a more powerful GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390 to enjoy the game in high definition at 60 frames per second.
Those wanting to go beyond this and play the game at higher resolutions and high detail settings will be able to get away with the same processor and amount of memory, but obviously will be needing a more powerful graphics card to push all those extra pixels, as detailed on Nvidia’s page.
Actually, in order to run the game at 2560×1440 resolution, a powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or equivalent AMD card will be necessary, while a cutting-edge GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD equivalent is necessary to get the game going at 60 frames per second and high detail settings in glorious 4K resolution.
Of course, the system requirements to run the game at higher resolutions might be outside the reach of the average PC user, but at least minimum and recommended requirements, especially the former, are likely within reach of those running a budget gaming PC.
And obviously Vampyr is looking like it could be one of the year’s most interesting games, an adventure game set in early 20th century London which is played in third-person and features action and role-playing elements, so stay tuned to this website for more news regarding DontNod’s latest game in the days to come.
