Crytek Wants to Melt Your PC, Official Crysis 3 PC Requirements Revealed

Crytek wants to melt your PC.

These system requirements for Crysis 3 prove it. Crytek has released minimum, recommended and high-performance specifications for the PC version of Crysis 3, releasing this February, 2013.

Last April, Crytek said, “we’re just going for making the best looking game that’s ever been made, basically, and I think we’re well on the way.” They later added, “…we’re definitely pushing this game a lot from a visual standpoint, and for sure there’s going to be visual goodies in it that you can only get if you have a super-high-end PC.” So if you’ve dropped some cash on your rig, expect to be treated to some astounding visuals.

Last summer, we got a peak at some high-end Crysis 3 visuals in this tech demo. Have a look and check out the official Crysis 3 PC requirements below.
