Mundfish has just released detailed final PC system requirements for their upcoming FPS, Atomic Heart. And, from the looks of it, this new game will be mostly GPU-bound and not CPU-bound.
Going into more details, Atomic Heart will at least need an Intel Core i5-2500 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 380.
For gaming at 1080p with Ultra settings and 60fps, the developers recommend an Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X with 16GB of RAM. The devs also recommend an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.
Atomic Heart will release on February 21st. From what we know so far, the game will have Denuvo, and will support NVIDIA’s DLSS 3. The PC version will also support numerous Ray Tracing effects. WCCFTech has also confirmed that the game will allow players to compile shaders (so there won’t be any shader compilation stutters).
Stay tuned for more!

well, the game no longer has low ancient requirements. I bet its gonna run like crap with stutters. My hesitation to not preorder 3 years ago that was a different game, but they wanted you to preorder is completely justified. Lets see how bad is it when it comes out.
Only terrorism and t*rd come out of Russia.
thank god the ukranians did not bomb the russian minority in donbass in 2014, that would have been bad.
Bombed? They were called ATO, literally a COUNTER offensive operation. You are such a brain dead partisan hack.
civilian casualities.
Just say you don’t have anything to say because you didn’t think you’d need more than an upvoted fox news comment or a headline for an argument. You can also make robot sounds.
HAAHAHAHAHHA, Zelinisky came out and said he never intended to be anti war and was always pro war with russia. What a scumbag.
So, he’s supposed to be all about love and anti-war when another country is terrorizing/invading their country? For a bunch of brain-dead rytards who like to call everyone a cuck, that’s one gigantic cuckold mentality you have there.
he started it, you moron he was elected by the pro russian ukranians to end the hostilities and he did it more.
You are such a clueless robot. I feel sorry for your parents.
my parents are an ai.
smells like a stutter fest at launch , with the Denuvo herpes in it , i’m gonna stay away from it till it get cleaned and patched and of course , i’m gonna torrent it !
day one on gamepass
lucky you, if it sucks you lost nothing.
You can get a game sub for less than a dollar. There was an event dropping the price, so there’s tons of cheap keys for sale online ??
That said, games are priced too high. They make so much overheard it’s ridiculous.
Apparently the game will have shader pre-compilation when you launch the game, which you can skip if you want. Now how effective it’ll be in reducing stutters, we won’t know until the game’s out. They can get fecked for including denuvo though.
Fecked they can get indeed. ???

I also expect the game to be a stutterfest unless they put the denuvo triggers in loading screens only, which will make it easier to crack. Speaking of which, no the cracked version does not have denuvo removed, it will simulate denuvo and crash when it cant connected to a denuvo server to make sure you have the same computer that authenticated the denuvo ticket. So no, empress cracks are useless. Compare it yourself buy playing the empress release of fenyx rising and the steam one that they forgot to put denuvo. One crashes and stutters alot the other one does not.
Keep torrenting games and Denuvo will never go away, in fact it will only get used more and more ….. Even Indie developers are catching on that it’s cheaper for them to implement Denuvo in their games than to take the losses from IP theft. No one really wants to add it to their games, they do so because they don’t want to go broke because more people are stealing their game than buying it.
If you honestly want to end Denuvo then end STEALING ….. In case you haven’t heard stealing is illegal, unethical and immoral

LMAO, So much wrong that i don’t even know where to start.
I will just leave a quick note on the last one. Piracy is not equal to theft stop pretending that it is.
lol yeah no, you and all these other pig-headed publishers need to learn that a lost sale is a lost sale. If a game cannot be cracked, it just won’t be bought by pirates. I personally haven’t sailed the seas for a game for a long, long time now, and despite this I dislike DRM, especially horrible ones like denuvo.
Just look at the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. No DRM for those, and yet those are some of the best selling games on PC of all time. “But those are AAA titles!” Ok, then look at Stardew Valley and Terraria. Both those games are also DRM free and they sold over 23 million and 13 million respectively, which also makes them some of the best selling PC games of all time.
All DRM does is hurt paying customers, and in turn will actually cause lost sales for future products. Publishers need to develop good will with the consumers. If they treat gamers well, gamers will buy their games in larger numbers in return.
there is zero proof this works, none of the highest selling games use denuvo. Sony releases all their exclusives on pc without denuvo and they are best sellers, i remember comparing the sales of games with denuvo like mad max who flopped with other games with no denuvo that sold amazingly well, there isnt any proof that this does anything, other than stuttering…on every game using it.
For the last FUQIN GOD DAMN TIME one of the highest selling game of all time, IN RECENT TIMES, have No DRM At all & the other 2-3 have NO Denuvo. They were pirateable from day FUQIN 1. FURTHERMORE, go to any torrent site and search for a game and see what’s the most seeded/pirated. That would be PS4 Games and still going strong. You are a Fuqin HACK!
“If you honestly want to end Denuvo then end STEALING ….. In case you haven’t heard stealing is illegal, unethical and immoral”
ok then… Why don’t you tell that to your government. Last time I checked taxation is actually theft, therefore it’s illegal and they still do it. When you get the governments of the world to stop taxing it’s people to death, then I’ll stop pirating. You need to lead by example, Sir
Everytime I think to gain an ample of respect for you, you go and say the dumbest SH*T ever. Therefor I can’t take anything you say seriously. You have no idea what you’re talking about, but you can’t refrain from spewing garbage. What The Actual Fuq Is Wrong With You.
X360 has been hacked at an early stage compared to PS3, yet salles looked similar on both platforms despite one being a pirate haven.
The reality is, the vast majority of people who pirate games do so because they cannot afford to buy a legal copy. There’s literally nothing that developers can do to force such people to buy their game.
IMO game piracy boosts sales figures, because game become more popular, and not to mention thanks to the piracy many young people are hooked into gaming in the first place because very few kids have rich parents and therefore can afford playing games. When these young people become older they may start buying legit copies. I have seen such scenario multiple times, and even people who were the biggest pirates started buying legit copies when they finally started to earn good money.
IMO if game isnt selling well it’s either very bad, or the target audience was very small.
“Very few kids have rich parents and therefore can afford playing games. When these young people become older they may start buying legit copies.”
You are the truth and you get it. Say it loud for those in the back of the class. This was exactly me when I was younger. These clowns forgot that this is a ‘privileged peoples’ hobby. Lot more poor people than people that can afford stuff like this. In 2004 I stopped pirating when I became a man and got my own money. Then 15 years later I started pirating AGAIN, when Epic Store started it’s nonsense, along with Denuvo. Why on earth would I buy something that doesn’t belong to me.
With the advent of DRM and crappy optimized game. Which means paying for an inferior product. I put my wallet back in my pocket. Also, most games that I pirate I never play beyond 15 minutes, because they are trash. So I’m return these people are just mad that we aren’t making final purchases that would less us to be stuck with garbage. They changed the game. They stopped doing demos, so we can be stuck with rubbish. Rubbish begets rubbish as usual.
The jump in GPU requirements from 1080p to 4k make no sense to me. Generally you need about 3x the GPU power to maintain the same FPS, and yet the recommended GPUs for 4k are only 1.45-1-65x faster than the recommended ones for 1080p. I’m thinking maybe the 4k requirements are actually for 4k with upscaling tech. We’ll just have to wait and see.
That’s a good point …. the difference between 1080p and 1440p is about 1.65 which would indicate they are upscaling to 4K from 1440p
Ah yes, 1080 being faster than 5600 XT (when 5600 XT >= 1080) and 2070 S being equal to 6700 XT (6700 XT annihilates 2070s)
Dude, you always downplaying GTX1080 performance compared to AMD GPUs. Before you were saying both VEGA64 and even VEGA56 were much faster compared to the GTX1080, yet a few months ago Hardware Unboxed re-tested Vega64 and GTX1080 across multiple new games and overall performance was similar despite your claims. Yes some games run better on VAGA64, but that’s also the case with GTX1080. 5600XT is even below VEGA64 relative performance (techpowerup results), but you will still say it’s faster than GTX1080.
Also you arnt taking into account GTX1080 has much higher OC potential, because of it’s low TDP compared to AMD GPUs. My GTX1080 is OCed to 2.1GHz 10.5TF (for comparison stock 1080ti has 11.5TF) and can sometimes even match 5700XT results if only nvidia will opitimise drivers for pascal GPUs (that’s not always the case lately, because for example in dead space remake even GTX1660S super offers better results compared to GTX1080 despite being 20% slower in general).
Oh look. 5600 XT is 20% faster than GTX 1080 in Hogwarts Legacy, on an engine that typically favors Nvidia. Hmm.
Havent you read what John wrote about this game? Hogwarts Legacy favors AMD a lot.
Also keep in mind that nvidia no longer optimise their drivers for pascal architecture, so GTX1080 results will look even worse. For example in dead space remake even GTX1660S (turing architecture) is as fast as GTX1080 despite being 20% slower in other games. An even better example of this is The Witcher 3 (next gen edition) where in DX12 2080ti is 2x faster compared to 1080ti (even without RT and DLSS).
In some games like forza horizon 5 even stock GTX1080 is even faster than 5700XT at 1440p extreme settings (according to gamegpu benchmark chart), however I’m not going to cherry pick this one example, because the 5700XT is faster in most games compared to stock GTX1080. But my GTX1080 is OC’ed (it has 1.9TF more compared to stock GTX1080, and even 1TF more compared to 5700XT) and that’s why my GPU can match 5700XT more frequently. And by the way, even with such extreme OC, my GPU is still quiet and never goes above 72°C, while 5700XT reference model is prone to overheating even at stock clocks.
An overclocked 1080 isn’t covering the ~33% gap of performance up to an RX 5700 XT, lol.
What exactly is the basis of your figures? Here’s techpowerup relative performance chart (1440p), and 5700XT is 17% faster, not 33%.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/172e1d3629eb109ad8147d1d3d9621fcb0c07b8423b492a5e0e627edba49e05c.jpg
Hardware Unboxed.
Ah yes, 1080 being faster than 5600 XT (when 5600 XT >= 1080) and 2070 S being equal to 6700 XT (6700 XT annihilates 2070s)
nobody cares, dumb AMD cultist
Because of your Nvidia adoration, you’re getting to pay the price (literally) now.
REALITY CHECK …. a 6700XT is only 4-5% faster than a 2070 Super …. a 6600XT is 8% slower than a 2070 Super and a 5700XT is 17% slower so the closest AMD card to a 2070 Super is a 6700XT …..
Frankly as a former AMD stockholder I consider the 6X00 series of AMD graphics a Loser …. Why? Because they lost half their market share with it from 21% down to 10% …. THAT is a LOSER
Also, LMAO at 5700 XT being 17% slower than a 2070S. It’s, 0 – 4% slower, depending on title.
A 2080 is 5% faster than a 2070S. 6700 XT is 2080 Ti class performance.
techpowerup relative performance chart – 5600xt 100% < gtx1080 103%
In most benchmarks that iv seen the 1080 beats the 5600XT. Theres not much in it either way but the 1080 usually beats it by ~10fps while in the few it looses to the 5600XT are usually by ~ 2fps difference.
Thats probably due to the 1080 having higher pixel rate, higher FPP, a faster clock speed, more video memory, faster texture rate and more memory bandwidth that the 5600XT.
But I have to agree the 1080 being a full fidelity setting better than the 5600XT is a bit wierd, inless the difference between high and medium is down to something small like AF or one level higher AA setting ?.
GOTY 2023
Im good for max then, if they dont botch the release or charge too much for it then ill probably end up getting it.
I’m looking forward to playing the game. All settings maxed out and beautiful. Happy gaming.
Denovo is such a turn off. Will wait for its removal.
