What this means
Steam's minimum list is the lowest hardware the publisher says the game supports. The recommended list is what the publisher suggests for a better experience. Neither list says which settings, resolution or frame rate it targets unless the publisher's notes say so. Where a line lists two parts (for example an NVIDIA or an AMD card), the publisher treats either as meeting that tier.
Gap between minimum and recommended
| Component | Minimum | Recommended | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64 Bit | Windows 10 64 Bit | Same in both tiers |
| Processor | Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz | Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHz (8 CPUs) | Different (see the verbatim lists above) |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM | Recommended asks for 4 GB more |
| Graphics | NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11) | NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB | Different (see the verbatim lists above) |
| Storage | 125 GB available space | 125 GB available space | Same in both tiers |
