The originalCrysiswas famous for melting PCs everywhere, but the PC requirements for its retooled successorCrysis Remasteredlook like they’re going to be a lot more manageable when it comes to the Epic Games Store on September 18th. Here’s what to expect.
Admittedly, PCs more than five years old may still struggle a bit withCrysis Remastered, as the minimum GPU requirements onEpic’s store pagestate you’ll need at least a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 470, both of which came out in late 2016. As a result, anyone still rocking an older GTX 970 or an R9 290, for example, may well find their PCs within that famed melting point - even though both GPUs are technically a bit faster than the GTX 1050 Ti and RX 470.

Then again, this theory starts to fall apart when you look at the recommended spec’s VRAM requirement, which states you’ll need a graphics card with at least 8GB of VRAM to play the game at 4K. A quick look at those system requirements will tell you straight away that this isnota 4K-capable spec, and is in fact much more likely to be a 1080p 60fps kind of affair.
Besides, you’ll need an Nvidia RTX card of some description if you’re hoping to take advantage of thegame’s new ray traced reflections, and heck, you’ll probably need one of Nvidia’s newly announcedRTX 3090cards to even attempt using its 8K texture pack.

Still, at least you won’t need to clear much space on your SSD / HDD, as you’ll only need around 20GB of storage - although I’d imagine said 8K textures will end up being a separate download likeFinal Fantasy XV’s 4K texture pack, all things considered, which will probably end up adding a lot more to it overall. In the first instance, though, at least it’s not going to melt your SSD along with everything else.
I will, of course, be putting the game through its paces closer to launch, so watch this space for some more detailed performance analysis on what to expect from these minimum and recommended PC requirements.
