With the remarkable success of Elden Ring last year, the anticipation for FromSoftware's upcoming game is reaching its peak as the release of Armored Core draws near. But the question remains: can your PC handle this game? The PC requirements for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon have been unveiled, and they read as follows:
MINIMUM:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10
- Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K | Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X | AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 4 GB or AMD Radeon RX 480, 4 GB
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 60 GB available space
- Sound Card: Windows Compatible Audio Device
RECOMMENDED:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 | Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 590, 8GB or Intel Arc A750, 8GB
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 60 GB available space
- Sound Card: Windows Compatible Audio Device
A closer look at the minimum requirements reveals an interesting aspect. The first Intel processor listed was introduced in 2014 and boasts 4 cores, whereas the subsequent two processors have around 6 cores. This contrast raises questions about how effectively a 4-core processor can handle the game, especially considering the recommendation of 6-core processors for the minimum system requirements.
When it comes to graphics cards, the developers have specified a minimum of 4 GB of VRAM. It's worth noting that the effectiveness of a 4 GB card remains somewhat ambiguous, particularly in terms of whether these settings are geared toward 1080p resolution. However, it's reasonable to assume that these specifications could allow for a minimum of 1080p gameplay at 30 frames per second, given the GTX 1650's intended performance range.
As the release date approaches, eager gamers will undoubtedly be evaluating their PC setups against these requirements to ensure a seamless experience in the world of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.
