NC37VRAM sizes are ballooning. Course look at consoles. They have jumped to 8GB ranges.

MakeDeluxeFor what purpose does recommended need 10 gigabytes more disc space than minimum?

MakeDeluxeAlso why are disc space requirements so huge these days?

NC37VRAM sizes are ballooning. Course look at consoles. They have jumped to 8GB ranges. Who needs to compress when they've been given a blank check to push to the new limits?

Wouldn't be surprised if 8GB becomes the standard in a year or two. Sat for some time with 1GB. Wasn't till BF3 did 2GB and higher start getting attractive. Consider the last console gen. If devs like DICE didn't start pushing and attention start shifting back to PC, we'd still be fiddling with 360s and PS3s.

Prolly only thing that might hold it back is hardware limitations if things like the 970 continue.

64KAnother huge game. It seems to me that requirements for games, especially storage space, are escalating fast. I see that Vista is not supported.

Saidrexwhere does it mention VRAM requirements?

newtekie1It seems like the minimum system requires are quite steep graphics card wise to me.



The minimum system requirements list 2GB. GTA:V only required 1GB.



Because storage is so cheap and we finally have the VRAM to cram massive textures into.

What amazes me is the number of people that find 45 or 60GB large. A good 4TB drive is only $170. 45GB is like 1% of that, maybe 2% of the space avaialble after formatting and crap.

natr0nThe Way It's Meant to be Payed.

btarunrAhead of its June 23 release, the minimum- and recommended-system requirements of Rocksteady's next installment to the super-hit Batman: Arkham franchise, Arkham Knight, was disclosed by NVIDIA. The PC version appears to have some clear visual benefits over the console variants of this game, given its steep storage requirements. Given that it will get an NVIDIA GameWorks varnish, PC gamers can expect eye-candy that won't make it to the console versions, including support for high-resolution display standards, such as 4K Ultra HD.

Without further ado, the system requirements lists.[---]

Minimum System Requirements: •64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
•Intel Core i5-750 or AMD Phenom II X4 965 quad-core processors
•6 GB of RAM
•NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD-equivalent, with 2 GB of video memory
•45 GB free-space
Recommended System Requirements: •64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
•Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD FX-8350
•8 GB or RAM
•NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (recommended) or GeForce GTX 980 (for Ultra settings)
•55 GB free-space
These requirements lists come from NVIDIA, and so a lack of "AMD Radeon" shouldn't surprise you. We reckon that a Radeon HD 5850 for minimum-, Radeon HD 7870 for recommended, and Radeon R9 290 for Ultra-settings should fit in just fine. The extra 10 GB required for RSR is suspicious, maybe it has an optional high-res texture pack.

MxPhenom 216this game should look a lot better then GTA5 though if the screenshots released so far have anything to say about it.

newtekie1These specs are released by nVidia, not the game developer, of course it will only list nVidia GPUs. It doesn't mean you can't use AMD cards...

No AMD GPUs are recommended for this game. It seems like Nvidia's way of "working with a game company" is to make the company's games exclusive to their hardware. Every piece of technology Nvidia makes is proprietary. They have this mindset that they need to solely dominate the whole market and everyone else needs to die. They don't understand that by doing so they're segmenting the market and slowing down any progress that could possibly move the industry forward.

With regard to the game itself, I'm not a fan of any of the Batman games. I tried Arkham Origins and I didn't like it. It's a PS3 class game in terms of visuals and mechanics. Nothing impressive and to much repetition.
The story telling is not too bad, but man I'm not a fan of super hero stories and comics.

FrustratedGarrettHere's a listing of the system requirements for the game from Guru3D:

NO AMD GPUs are in the recommended and ultra system requirements sections. What this means is that this is another one of these games that run horribly on decent hardware from both AMD and Nvidia, but run a lot worse on AMD hardware. That's what Gameworks is all about...

NaitoSome countries have sub-par internet with slow download speeds and limited quota.

Prima.VeraSorry mate, I prefer running the games from my SSD for fast loading, not from a shitty HDD. If a game is 60GB, you do the math on how fast a 512GB drive gets full ;)
