A PC screenshot, apparently.
It’s that time again, when you gaze quizzically at your processor and maybe compare it with some benchmarks to see if your PC will run a game. The game in question is Dragon Age: Inquisition, which has just had its minimum and required PC specs published on Origin’s weird publisher-run blog thing.
Let’s get right to it with the bare minimum you will need to get the title running:
Minimum:
OS: Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD quad core CPU @ 2.5 GHz, Intel quad core CPU @ 2.0 GHz
System RAM: 4 GB
Graphics CARD: AMD Radeon HD 4870, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics Memory: 512 MB
Hard Drive: 26 GB
DirectX 10
Or, if you have a more modern machine. This is what Dragon Age: Inquisition recommends:
Recommended:
OS: Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD six core CPU @ 3.2 GHz, Intel quad core CPU @ 3.0 GHz
System RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 or R9 270, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Graphics Memory: 2GB
Hard Drive: 26 GB
DirectX 11
That’s basically my PC … except the 3GB of VRAM. Alas, I only have 2. Update: Turns out the 3GB of VRAM was a typo, which makes sense since none of the cards listed (to my knowledge) even have 3GB of VRAM. It’s 2 now.
The piece revealing the above specs confirms Dragon Age: Inquisition will have support for 4K resolutions and will also be supporting AMD’s Mantle API. A few new PC-specific screenshots (below) have been released as well, showing the HUD and so on.
There’s also a rather bold claim that “The PC version of Inquisition gives you complete control over the look and feel of the game.” Similarly, a companion video piece claims that the HUD was built with the PC in mind and that BioWare totally loves the PC and everything about the PC. If they could, they would almost certainly initiate romance options with the PC.
Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released in November.
