CD Projekt RED are generally helpful souls, and they have released the minimum and recommended specifications for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt months ahead of release.
Now, I think it’s fair to assume that you are expecting some fairly meaty specifications for this one, given the hefty requirements of previous titles, and the fact that it is a next gen open world RPG. Those words generally say to your PC, “Now bend over”. However, while they come with a slight “owie” factor, it’s not too bad..
Do keep in mind, though, that these requirements are for the default clock speeds. So if you’re overclocking your CPU or GPU, your mileage will obviously vary.
Minimum System Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz OR AMD Phenom II X4 940
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 OR AMD Radeon HD 7870
RAM: 6GB
OS: 64-bit Windows 7 OR 64-bit Windows 8 / 8.1
DirectX 11
HDD Space: 40 GB
