The PC hardware requirements for Eidos Montreal’s upcoming shooter Deus Ex: Human Revolution have been revealed.
As the game is being simultaneously released to consoles the hardware requirements are not all that steep, certainly not enough to make a modern DirectX 11 PC bust its balls.
An 8000 series GPU from Nvidia or Radeon 2000 series card should see you through with settings on low or medium. But if you crave all the bells and whistles the developers are recommending a Radeon HD 5850 or Nvidia equivalent; GTX 460 or 560ti should be more than sufficient.
