You can check if your system passes these requirements using the handy Game-o-Meter.

The minimum specs are surprisingly tame - I guess they are going to retain the "DX8 mode" from first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for the older systems. Expect to need something meeting the recommended specs if you want to see the shiny that's present in all the screenshots.
