Spilling the beans this afternoon, id Software and Bethesda Softworks have announced some official system requirements for their highly anticipated first person shooter, Rage. So what kind of setup will you need to run this bad boy? Here's the skinny:
Minimum
OS: Win XP SP3, Vista, Win 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or Equivalent AMD
Memory: 2GB
Hard Disk Space: 25GB
Video Card: GeForce 8800, Radeon HD 4200
Recommended
OS: Win XP SP3, Vista, Win 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad or Equivalent AMD
Memory: 4GB
Hard Disk Space: 25GB
Video Card: GeForce 9800 GTX, ATI Radeon HD 5550
Rage is scheduled for release in North America on October 4th and Europe on October 7th.
Update: You can check if your PC meets these requirements using our Game-o-Meter service. Note that the requirements provided by Bethesda are very odd - the minimum ATI card (HD 4200) has roughly one quarter of the performance of a GeForce 8800 series card. Even the recommended ATI card (HD 5550) performs below the listed minimum NVIDIA card while the recommended NVIDIA card (9800 GTX) handily beats the recommended HD 5550. Game-o-Meter has these requirements as-is but I would suggest being cautious if you have a low end ATI card.
