Capcom released some details about the PC system requirements for their newest AAA title Devil May Cry 5. The system requirements were posted on the game’s store page on Steam. From this, we can gather some details on how demanding (and visually impressive) the game will be.
DMC5 is using a new game engine to render, so players will need a modern PC to run the game smoothly. If you want the best of the best, you’ll need a very beefy PC in order to maximize the game’s settings. Surprisingly enough, the game is only a mere 35GB in space, which is relatively small compared to how demanding the reqreuiments are.
Here are the Devil May Cry 5 PC minimum system requirements:
- OS: WINDOWS® 7 (64-BIT Required)
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4770 3.4GHz or better
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX760 or better
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 35 GB available space
- Additional Notes: *Controllers recommended *Internet connection required for game activation.
And the recommended system requirements:
- OS: WINDOWS® 7 (64-BIT Required)
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4770 3.4GHz or better
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX960 or better
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 35 GB available space
- Additional Notes: *Controllers recommended *Internet connection required for game activation.
Judging from the posted specs, most gamers will be okay with a current or previous generation graphics card. However, the game does require an Intel i7 CPU, which is pretty much the top-of-the-line processor that’s widely available. Even though the i9 is out, it’s not practical given its steep price point and non-adapted technology.
The i7 is affordable enough but is still top tier compared to its i5 and i3 counterparts. Enthusiasts can argue about specs, cores, and cache sizes, but generally, the i7 is superior due to the sheer number of cores available compared to the i5 and i3. Modern games and applications can utilize multiple (or all) cores that the i7 offers.
DMC5 is a CPU-demanding game from the looks of it so far. You can get more details about the game here on Steam.
