[PC] Crysis 3 system requirements revealed

As you no doubt would have already guessed, if you want to play Crysis 3 on your PC, you're going to need a pretty capable system. If you want to unlock the full visual splendor that CryEngine 3 has to offer in Crytek's latest (who wants to play on minimum settings anyway?), you're pretty much going to need a beast of a computer. Electronic Arts has just published the minimum, recommended, and hi-performance requirements for the upcoming graphics-intensive shooter, which are predictably quite demanding:

MINIMUM SYSTEM OPERATING REQUIREMENTS FOR PC:
• Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
• DirectX 11 graphics card with 1Gb Video RAM
• Dual core CPU
• 2GB Memory (3GB on Vista)
• Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel): Nvidia GTS 450, Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 Ghz (E6600)
• Example 2 (AMD): AMD Radeon HD5770, AMD Athlon64 X2 2.7 Ghz (5200+)

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM OPERATING REQUIREMENTS FOR PC:
• Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
• DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM
• Quad core GPU
• 4GB Memory
• Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel): Nvidia GTX 560, Intel Core i5-750
• Example 2 (AMD): AMD Radeon HD5870, AMD Phenom II X4 805

HI-PERFORMANCE PC SPECIFICATIONS:
• Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
• Latest DirectX 11 graphics card
• Latest quad core CPU
• SLI / Crossfire configurations will run even better
• 8GB Memory
• Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel): NVidia GTX 680, Intel Core i7-2600k
• Example 2 (AMD): AMD Radeon HD7970, AMD Bulldozer FX4150

If you can't meet these requirements, you can, of course, still pick up the somewhat toned-down console version of the game. Crysis 3 is scheduled for a February 2013 release.
