Bethesda release Dishonored system requirements

“With less than two months until Dishonored’s release, we want players to prepare their weapons of revenge. No, I’m not talking about our website, I’m talking about the rig PC players intend to play the game on.”

Bethesda’s above message was displayed to gamers on its blog as it released its system requirements for the new game – which can only be described as demanding. The minimum specifications require at least 6GHz of processing power (although this varies between AMD, Intel and the age of the CPU architecture), a GTX 460/HD 5850 or better (£100 video cards!) and at least 4GB of RAM (the standard these days anyway).

The game will take advantage of multi-core CPUs and a 64 bit OS, although we’re not sure if that’s 4, 6,8 or 16 thread support on the CPU front. You can see the full requirements below:

Minimum Spec:

•  OS: Windows Vista / Windows 7
• Processor: 3.0 GHz dual core or better
• Memory: 4 GB system RAM
• Hard Disk Space: 9 GB
• Video Card: DirectX 9 compatible with 512 MB video RAM or better (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / ATI Radeon HD 5850)
• Sound: Windows compatible sound card

Recommended Spec:

•  OS: Windows Vista / Windows 7
•  Processor: 2.4 GHz quad core or better
• Memory: 4 GB system RAM
•  Hard Disk Space: 9 GB
•  Video Card: DirectX 9 compatible with 768 MB video RAM or better (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / ATI Radeon HD 5850)
• Sound: Windows compatible sound card
