Saint’s Row: The Third is being revealed as having pretty beefy recommended PC specifications for those who want to play it smoothly. Destructoid has posted a list of requirements for the title, which includes recommended and minimum specs. Although the minimum requirements are relatively forgiving, the recommended specs are kind of ridiculous:
OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7
Processor: Any Quad Core Processor (Intel® Core i5 or AMD Phenom™ II X4) or 3.0+ Dual Core CPU
Memory: 4GB System RAM or more
Graphics: 1GB Video RAM GPU w/ Shader Model 4.0 support. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 400 series or better. ATI Radeon™ HD5000 series or better
DirectX®: DirectX® 11
Hard Drive: 10 GB
Sound: 100% DirectX® 9.0C compliant sound card or equivalent onboard sound
Online Steam Account
I guess if you want to see your pimps and hoes in great detail, a high price is to be had. Saint’s Row: The Third will launch on November 15th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
