- AMD: Athlon X2 2.8GHz
- Intel: Core 2 Duo 2GHz

For max settings Remedy recommends a quad-core CPU and a graphics card capable of scoring 2000 in 3D Mark – check that here.
Remedy also notes that players can turn off the HUD if they wish, which is said to be a feature many Xbox 360 players asked for.
The PC version also benefits from support for 3D using Nvidia’s Nvision tech, but you’ll need a high end graphics card such as the 580GTX.
