System requirements & Questions regarding such

[SamBC]

NB: This thread was originally to clarify that we did not know the system requirements. They have now been released, at least for Windows, but the first 100 or so posts are related to the lack of system requirements. Discussion should now follow in terms of reaction to those system requirements.

The system requirements published for Windows are as follows:

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows® 7, 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6 GHz or AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core 2.6 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5770, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or better
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 45 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card
Additional Notes: Initial installation requires one-time Internet connection for Steam authentication; software installations required (included with the game) include Steam Client, Microsoft Visual C++2012 and 2013 Runtime Libraries and Microsoft DirectX.

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows® 7, 64-bit
Processor: 3GHz Quad Core
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 2GB ATI Radeon HD 7970, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or better
Storage: 45 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card

2K and Feral have published the following requirements for Mac and Linux (at http://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/215908468-XCOM-2-System-Requirements ):

MAC MINIMUM:
OS: 10.11.2
CPU: 2.4 GHz Intel
GPU: NVIDIA 650ti or AMD 5770 or Intel Iris Pro or better
VRAM: 1GB

MAC RECOMMENDED:
OS: 10.11.2
CPU: 2.7 GHz i5
GPU: NVIDIA 700 series or AMD R9 series
VRAM: 2GB

LINUX MINIMUM:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit or Steam OS
Processor: Intel i3-3225 3.3 GHz
RAM: 4GB
Graphics: 1GB NVIDIA 650
NOTE: AMD and Intel GPUs are not supported at time of release.

LINUX RECOMMENDED:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit or Steam OS
Processor: Intel i7
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: 2GB NVIDIA 960
NOTE: AMD and Intel GPUs are not supported at time of release.

Feel free to ask questions to clarify things, and share opinions, but remember to treat everyone with respect, and remember that there may not be answers to all questions.

This includes asking if people think your system will run the game, or run it well. Every answers is the poster in question's own opinion, even if it's a moderator saying it. Other threads asking such questions may be merged here, or closed with reference to this thread.

Just wondering when the LINUX version will come out.

It's been announced as a simultaneous release on Windows, Mac, and SteamOS/Linux. What hardware and OS versions will be supported on Mac and SteamOS/Linux is unknown at this time.

That prevents me from making an informed choice concerning making a purchase.

could a intel hd 4000 card play this game?

Based on current information, no, it will not be able to play the game.

[marcelloschuabb]

My video card is GeForce GT 730 1GB. Will it run the game (even at minimum)? Please, if it run, I want to buy XCOM 2 right now!!! (others System Requirements are ok)

I wouldn't bank on it. Well, I doubt it would actually refuse to run, but you are likely to get very bad frame rates, awful choppy video, that sort of thing. As such, it may be effectively unplayable.

Assuming they haven't been really pessimistic about the requirements, anyway. That's been known to happen.

There's no minimum listed for Intel integrated graphics - meaning that, at this point, they would seem to be unsupported. Though given that the HD 4000 supports the required APIs, I doubt the the game would refuse to run, but there's no guarantee - and you may get artefacting, choppy graphics, poor frame rates, etc. As such, it may be effectively unplayable.

I really would like to see an early demo for this one.

For one simple reason, I would definitely buy this game, but I'm a bit unsure if my computer can run this game.

Having an Intel Core i7 -4700 HQ @ 2.4 Ghz with 16 Gb of Ram and a Nvidia Geforce GT 750M, I'm really not sure if I can play it.

So a demo might put this issue to rest. And probably i'm not the only one in this situation.

Any news or even whispers of something like this (demo) might be released?

The level we saw in the demo, where you pull down a statue and run like f**k, will probably be a tutorial mission. With that considered, the first level in XCOM 2012 was released as a free demo on all platforms, so I definitely think we'll see a demo of a few in-game stages.

[Towik]

I though the tutorial mission will be the rescue of commander.

The demo would indeed be great, because unfortunately, I'm really not sure if my Nvidia GT 750M can run the game.

Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Will my dell inspiron 7000 series with a nvidia 960m core i7 6700HQ 2.6 GHz with 8gb ram run it?

[Jon the VGNerd]

Also, just to make sure:

Graphics card: AMD Radion R7 200 Series (3 GB)
CPU: AMD A10 6800K
RAM: 8 GB (planning to upgrade it to 32 GB in the near future)

I assume this passes, right?

[Towik]

Cpu ,yes . Ram ,yes.
What R7 200 series ? I cannot find a R7 2XX 3GB ,but i think you should be able to play the game with no problems .

Apparently, according to the System Requirements Lab site, it just says AMD Radeon R7 200 series, but here's the one I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLMKI9A/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

Its supposed to say 4GB, but apparently, System Requirements site isn't always accurate, TBH.

No, there is no 4GB model of the R7 240. You got scammed.

Are you sure you don't mean "R9 270" or "R7 260x?"
