There’s a lot riding on Titanfall right now. This is the one game that Microsoft needs to break out and be not only a hit on that console, but a signature title as well, something that’ll make it worth owning on all the Microsoft platforms. Besides the Xbox family, it’ll be available on PC as well. And by PC, I mean functional Borg cubes.
Respawn Entertainment co-founder Zince Zampella tweeted out the minimum system requirements for Titanfall on PC, and you’ll need quite a big rig in order to run the game:
- 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 8.1
- AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz or Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
- 4GB RAM
- 512MB VRAM, Radeon HD 4770 or GeForce 8800GT
That’s a whole lot of hardware, although judging by previous comments on the site, most of you will be shouting me down because you already have gaming PCs that can easily match these specs. Please don’t hurt me, I have so much to live for and I just learnt that DDR 3 RAM isn’t a spin-off of Dance Dance Revolution 3.
PC will naturally carry the best visuals when Titanfall launches, as the Xbox One version will be launching with 720P visuals. Still, it’s the gameplay that makes a game great, and if Geoff and Gavin would just shut up about having had time to sit down and play Titanfall, I could feel it out for myself when I nab the Xbox 360 version.
Titanfall drops in from orbit March 14. And if you’re buying the oversized collector’s edition, then you’ll be happy to know that you can fit a body inside of it.

My old PC, 7 years old now would have just been short on the RAM, that’s it
Mossel
February 5, 2014 at 08:03
Same here man! I think I had 3gb RAM. Otherwise pretty much owned. I got that PC in 2008, so it would then be 6 years old.

My current pc has SLIGHTLY better specs than that

VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 5, 2014 at 08:37
Got my 360 about 2 years ago (judging by my tenure on XBL)… so my PC’s around 4-5 years old.
Surprising how much I can still play on the old girl tho… The Witcher 2 however, doesn’t run on low graphics… can’t get past that damned dragon right at the beginning of the game… got past it on the 360 though.
Mossel
February 5, 2014 at 08:42
haha that was exactly the reason I had to play Witcher 2 on my new(ish) pc. The old one just couldnt handle it!

LOL I think everyone’s previous PC had at least 4 gigs of Ram. Hell I’ve been sitting with 16gigs for almost three years now.
Wraith
February 5, 2014 at 11:19
Did you notice any significant difference between 8 gigs and 16?
I wouldn’t think that it would make any difference with games, especially as the majority of games are probably still supporting 32 bit architectures.
Hammersteyn

No, the only thing I did notice was my sense of ease knowing I wouldn’t have to upgrade my PC anytime soon

Its actually quite a joke then that the XBone can only do 720p, while these PC specs are quite low
Exalted Overlord Geoffrey Tim
February 5, 2014 at 08:01
These are minimum specs, and how well do minimum specs usually work for games? 😛 These are the specs you need to watch a slideshow of the game! 😀
Brian Murphy
February 5, 2014 at 08:03
No, they’re not minimum specs, the 360 has lesser than the 8800GT (which is DX10 compliant).
Exalted Overlord Geoffrey Tim
February 5, 2014 at 08:08
the 360 version uses the same codebase, but different assets and a different dev; it’s not really comparable. According to Vince, these are the min specs for the Pc version.
Brian Murphy
February 5, 2014 at 08:10
The 360 still has less to work with ;P So, technically, it can run with less. And before you say it, PC’s back then had between 2-8g of RAM, on TOP of the 512m on the card.
Mossel
February 5, 2014 at 08:04
Any news on the recommended specs?

TiMsTeR1033

The game doesnt look that spectacular to me Geoff. They say Titanfall uses source engine 1, if it used source engine 2 would be a different story.
A big difference as seen in image.

Yeah Darryn, the 8800GT has been out almost as long as the PS3, to give you an idea.

The 8800GT was the best card I ever had, That thing was a machine

February 5, 2014 at 08:54
I think Darryn plays soo much candy crush saga, he forgot what that the specs are for PC not a Tablet… Then again looking at the specs… there are tablets that are close or even more powerfull… just need more memory…
Does that mean titan fall will come to xbone, pc and ms surface?
Uberutang
February 5, 2014 at 08:56
8 series was released in Nov 2006!
Brian Murphy
February 5, 2014 at 09:00
Yeah but the 8800GT was released the following year 🙂
Either way you look at it, not only did the 8 series release in November, it released 1 week after the PS3 launch.

If those are the specs, why can’t the Xbone hit 1080p. Sis. So much for “next-gen”.

These are minimum specs.

Seems alright to me … Expect this specs don’t scream next gen …. Having said that I am not a graphic whore , bring on the gameplay
Martin du preez
February 5, 2014 at 08:18
That’s pretty average requirements. The only system that won’t be able to run it at minimum is the PS4.
MUHAHAHAHA *throws smoke bomb*
Anyways,Who needs an Xboner for this when it will probably be exactly the same on the 360? (GTFO with teh powah off teh clawd) I will nab this for my 360.
TiMsTeR1033
February 5, 2014 at 08:19
Those Min specs are not so bad. I mean I still for the love of God don’t understand why this game is considered next gen using old Source engine, that is probably the reason behind the 6v6 mp aswell, but nobody seems to mention that oh no… Next gen se gat!
Weanerdog
February 5, 2014 at 10:08
The reason it uses the old engine is so that it can sell on the 360 because they know that there are still a huge 360 market that can be tapped compared to the XOne market.

OH OH I KNOW. Those are the specs for playing as a regular old person. If you want to use a Titan you need specs four times greater. PC HARDWARE DLC FTW! Call me MS, reasonable fees for using my ideas.

Hah, wanna be amused, try price out a PC with the above specs.
AMD Athlon X2 – Out of stock at Newegg ($58.99)
Intel Core 2 Duo – Out of stock at Newegg (~130-150ish)
4g DDR3 – ~40-50 bucks
8800GT – Out of Stock (Found one on ebay for $27.49)
Just a quick note, the out of stock basically means they’re no longer carrying them/out of production. I think it’s fairly safe to say that every pre-built PC bought within the past 5 years exceeds these specs. Anything in the past 2 years could probably run two instances of Titanfall on their PC at medium to high settings.
