Battlefield: Hardline PC requires 64-bit Windows install
Battlefield: Hardline has pretty reasonable PC system requirements, all in all.
Visceral said that Battlefield: Hardline's PC specs would be similar to BF4's, and that's true, but there are a couple of significant differences: you'll need a 64-bit version of whichever Windows you opt for, and about twice as much hard drive space.
Note that these are the requirements for the final build, not the beta; the beta is not optimised and machines with lower RAM will have trouble.
Here are the full specs, direct from Origin:
- Minimum:
- OS: Windows Vitsa SP2 64-bit (with KB971512 Update)
- CPU: Athlon II/Phenom II 2.8 GHz, Intel Core i3/i5 2.4GHz
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1 GB), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB)
- HDD: 60 GB
- Direct X 11
- Recommended:
- OS: Windows 8 64-bit (with KB971512 Update)
- CPU: INTEL QUAD-CORE CPU, AMD SIX-CORE CPU
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
- GPU memory: 3 GB
- HDD: 60 GB
- DirectX 11
And now, a special presentation on why Hardline is great on PC.
