Battlefield 4 BETA Requirements Announced

One of the most highly anticipated games in development is Battlefield 4, the next iteration of EA/DICE’s famous shooter.  Based around the Frostbite 3 engine, gamers have been wondering what the minimum specifications are going to be, given that Battlefield 3 was very demanding (although personally I felt this was more due to bad programming than detail/complexity).

So today on Twitter those guidelines were announced:

Minimum:

• OS:
  • Vista SP2 32-bit with KB971512 update
• Processor:
  • AMD Athlon X2 2.8 GHz (such as the Athlon II X2 250)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (the E6400, or modern equivalent)
• Memory:
  • 4GB
• Graphics Card with 512MB+:
  • AMD Radeon HD 3870 (try the HD7730)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (try the GT 630)
• Storage:
  • 30GB

Recommended:

• OS:
  • Windows 8 64-bit
• Processor
  • AMD Six-Core CPU (such as the Phenom II X6 1045T or FX-6300)
  • Intel Quad-Core CPU (such as the i5-3470/i5-4430 or i5-4670K)
• Memory
  • 8GB (such as 2×4 GB 1866 C9)
• Graphics Card:
  • AMD Radeon HD 7870 (Sapphire, MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS)
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS)
• Storage:
  • 30GB

It sounds like we’re going CPU heavy with this one more than GPU.  As always, I’d suggest an SSD in there as well.  Pair up a i5-4670K with a pair of 7870s and you are laughing all the way to 1080p on max.

Don’t forget to order your copy.
