Those looking to play Crytek’s upcoming ‘slash-em-up’ Ryse: Son Of Rome at reasonable quality settings can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to an update from the developers which contextualises the ‘Recommended’ spec most recently listed on Steam. Eye-opening at the time for listing 4GB VRAM and a top of the line NVIDIA or AMD GPU (GTX 780Ti or R9 290X respectively), it turns out that these were the recommended specifications for 4K resolution gameplay. That’s opposed to the 1080p resolution the vast majority of players will be equipped with.
The latest recommended specs – 1080p gameplay – are much more reasonable. Quad core Intel/ Six Core AMD CPUs aren’t uncommon in gaming systems, and the suggestion of a GTX 660Ti or R7 260X isn’t an onerous one. Furthermore if you’re not already gaming with 8GB RAM and a 64-bit OS, you probably should be.
The full specs can be found below. Ryse: Son of Rome is released on October 10th 2014 and is available via Steam
