Square Enix has finally unveiled the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided PC requirements so that players can get their rigs ready for the game, which can be already be preloaded starting August 19.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is slated to be released on August 23 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC users. Those who want to get the most out of the graphics aspect of Square Enix's new title will want to play it on a Windows PC especially as NVIDIA recently released the new Titan X, GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060.
Interestingly, none of NVIDIA's new Pascal video cards make it into the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided PC requirements. Square Enix does recommend the AMD Radeon RX 480 for players who want to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at the highest possible settings, Attack of the Fanboy has learned.
The minimum requirements include an Intel Core i3-2100 processor, a GeForce GTX 660 or a Radeon HD 7870 and 8GB of memory. In addition, the PC should be running a 64-bit version of Windows 7.
Square Enix's recommendation for the higher-end rigs include an Intel Core i7-3770K processor, a GeForce GTX 970 or a Radeon RX 480 and 16GB of memory. Of course, the newer GTX 10 Series cards powered by Pascal will bring better frames altogether.
Eidos and Square Enix have not disclosed what settings the recommended setup can do for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on the PC, Tech Spot reported. It can be speculated that it can handle at least the high settings while the maximum options with AA enabled will probably need the more powerful GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 cards from NVIDIA.
PC users are also advised to save 55GB in free storage for the game's installation including the DLCs. Those who already pre-ordered the game can also pre-load it so that they can play Deus Ex at launch.
Console players with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 machines can pre-load Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on August 21. Those with PCs can already pre-load it on August 19 provided that they already bought the pre-order version of the game.
