Official PC requirements for Anthem revealed, 16GB of RAM and more than 50GB of free HDD space

Electronic Arts and Bioware have revealed the official PC requirements for Anthem. According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-6350 CPU with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX 760 or an AMD Radeon 7970 / R9280X graphics card.

Bioware recommends an Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz or an AMD Ryzen 3 1300X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX 1060/ RTX 2060 or an AMD RX 480. The game will also require at least 50GB of free hard disk space.

Furthermore, and as we’ve already reported, the game will be always-online and will require a persistent internet connection in order to be played.

Anthem will also support NVIDIA’s DLSS, Deep Learning Super Sampling, tech, although the green team has not revealed whether the game will support it at launch day.

  1. That’s on-par with the hardware requirements I expected from a multiplat not really offering that much over the console version besides DLSS.

    I’m sure it will look just fine on PC, though I am interested in seeing how the console version stacks up against it.

  2. I think originaly was made for consoles, the AI dosent dodge, cover or move, just stays in plain site to be hit. The game was made only to try and mule some players from destiny 2 or warframe. if they can succede is ok, if not, no problem.
    The 1080p resolution is so bad that i think they play it on 720p and rescale when they upload on youtube.

    1. yeah I’ve been noticing this decade old practice for system requirement gauging. devs seem to always label new hardware in the requirements onces it’s available. A GTX 970 should be able to run the recommended.
      Really wish PC devs pick up on electing a target GPU as the recommended.

      the GTX 680 should a have been the PC gaming target this gen. instead of what we currently have, mixed GPUs listed for recommended.

      1. No, he was being sarcastic. The 2060 is a somewhat different architecture on a smaller node. It has 50% more cores than the 1060 6GB, faster VRAM and the RT and Tensor cores.

        Overall the 2060 is about 60% faster than the 1060 6GB. They aren’t even in the same league in performance so it doesn’t make sense to say either/or for recommended in this case is what I think he was getting at.

  3. CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz puahahahhaahhahahahahahahhaha sure it runs on jags too ^^

  4. Unless they further optimized it, the recommended i7 4790 is bullshait. During the closed alpha, I tested it on an i7 4790 and couldn’t maintain a locked 60 fps in many situations.

  5. This game is the epitome of “all spectacle, no substance”. Take away the animations & fake comms gushing over the gameplay, and what do you actually have for a gameplay loop? Travel through a completely empty world until you activate an objective. NPCs spawn with some of the worst AI you’ll ever see. Repeat.

    Watched hours of gameplay & that’s all that happens *every* single time. Warfame has deliberately barebones open-world & basic AI behavior (neither are the focus) yet it leaves Anthem for dead in both aspects. I’d even play Destiny 2 over Anthem & I found it so by the numbers I couldn’t finish the free trial.

    It’s a shame Bioware will be disbanded over EA’s insistence on not playing to their strengths.

    1. I think this about hits the nail on the head. I weep for a person’s intelligence, if they are genuinely entertained by this pile of digital vomit.

    2. This is what I’ve been saying. A lot of new games are almost entirely about graphics, but the interaction you actually have with the beautiful worlds on offer is minimal and superficial.

    3. To be honest Bioware doesn’t have the talent to craft interesting stories, worlds and characters anymore.
      I wonder if the Biodrones from the newBSN will do the damage control for Anthem like they did with ME:A.

    4. atleast warframe doesnt let you fly around and ignore the environment.

      “It’s a shame Bioware will be disbanded over EA’s insistence on not playing to their strengths.”

      Old bioware is dead bro, its best for ea to kill it

    5. BioWare is just a name, and has been “just a name”, for the past near-decade or so now.

      At this point, just let it die I’d say. Nothing of value will be lost.

    6. Everyone should be wary of trailers where they show a (staged) loot drop at the end because they need that to cover up that the game WILL turn out to be grindy sh*tfest: Destiny, The Division and now, Anthem.

      1. I’ve played Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Battlefield 1 & Battlefield V. They ran buttery smooth on my i7-6700K & GTX 1080 Ti.
