The recommended PC specs for Crysis Remastered have arrived, and unlike the original game, it won’t make your processor cry. According to the Epic Games store, the specifications are:
Minimum specs
- CPU: Intel Core i5-3450 / AMD Ryzen 3
- GPU: Geforce GTX 1050 TI / AMD Radeon 470 (4GB VRAM for 1080p)
- RAM: 8 GB
- Hard disk: 20 GB of space
- DirectX 12
- Windows 10
Recommended specs
- CPU: Intel Core i5-7500k / AMD Ryzen 5
- GPU: Geforce GTX 1660 TI / AMD Radeon Vega 56 (8GB VRAM for 4k)
- RAM: 12 GB
- Hard disk: 20 GB of space
- DirectX 12
- Windows 10
Ultimately, these are extremely soft specs. Crysis was known for destroying even top-of-the-line overclocked processors at its peak, but its remastering doesn’t even require an i7 CPU, an Nvidia 20XX series GPU, a Radeon RX 5XXX, or the like. And given the age of the game, that’s actually not very surprising, oddly enough. Crysis Remastered looks noticeably better in motion, but it’s not a basic remake, just a remaster. When the base is this old, even the finest polish won’t put too much pressure on modern processors.
Still, it’s fun to see such a legendary PC game handled effortlessly, to the point that even a Switch, comfortably the weakest of the three major consoles, can run it without a hitch. Seeing Crysis running on a Switch is arguably even more mind-blowing than watching him run The Witcher 3, though Geralt’s latest adventure can also eat up a processor. In any case, virtually every PC gamer should be able to handle Crysis this time.
Speaking of remasters: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning comes out this month.
