Crytek Reveals Ryse: Son of Rome's PC System Requirements

Crytek Studios has clarified information on Ryse: Son of Rome's minimum and recommended system requirements for PC.

The system requirements initially listed on Ryse's Steam page were for 4k gameplay, leading to some confusion amongst gamers. The newly clarified system requirements for standard 1080p gameplay, revealed in a Steam forum update, are:

Minimum:
CPU: Dual core with HyperThreading technology or quad core CPU
Examples: Intel Core i3 2.8 GHz (3220T) or AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 GHz (945)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB video RAM
Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7770
OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)
HDD: 26GB

Recommended: 
CPU: Quad Core or Six Core CPU
Examples: Intel Core i5 3.3 GHz (2500k) or AMD FX-6350 3.9 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 2 GB video RAM
Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti or AMD Radeon 260x or 7850
OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)
HD: 26GB

Meanwhile, if you were looking to play at the ultra 4k resolution, the suggested requirements are understandably a bit beefier:

Recommended for 4k gameplay:
CPU: Quad Core or Eight Core CPU
Examples: Intel Core i7 3.5 GHz (2700k) or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 4 GB video RAM
Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780/ Titan or AMD Radeon 290x
OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)
HD: 26GB

Ryse: Son of Rome will be released on PC on October 10. In IGN's review of the console release, we felt that it was entertaining but often valued spectacle over skill. Originally an Xbox exclusive, Crytek said it wanted to bring Ryse to PC as the platform would allow them to do "whatever we want."
