Nvidia has revealed the system requirements for the PC version of Batman: Arkham City, but can your rig handle it? Chances are you’ll be fine.

The video card manufacturer states that a 2.4GHz Dual-Core CPU, 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 8800 GT will give you a high level of visual fidelity, but none of the extras. A GeForce GTX 460, however, in conjunction with a 2.5GHz Dual-Core CPU and 4GB of RAM, will allow you to use the game’s Recommended High settings and PhysX – seen in the trailer below.

Further more, Nvidia says that a GeForce GTX 460 or GeForce GTX 560 will allow you to play Arkham City comfortably at 1920×1080 with PhysX enabled; a GeForce GTX 570 allows you to enable additional DirectX 11 effects; and a GeForce GTX 580 allows you to experience the game in all its glory and in stereoscopic 3D Vision.
