Deep Silver Volition has officially released the full system requirements<\/a> for its upcoming reboot of Saints Row. The studio had previously unveiled the minimum system requirements back in June, but now you can get a much clearer picture of how well your PC will run the game.<\/p>\n

To run the game at recommended settings (1080p at 60FPS), you’ll need an Intel Core i7-6700k, or an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X. Moreover, you’ll need a card with at least 8GB VRAM, with the devs specifying a GeForce GTX 1070 or an AMD Radeon RX 5700. The game also specifies 16GB RAM to run at the recommended settings, which as Andy noted in a post about the PC port of Marvel’s Spider-Man, is becoming increasingly common<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If your PC can’t quite stretch that far, then for minimum settings (1080p, 30FPS) you can get away with an Intel Core i3-3240, or an AMD Ryzen 3 1200, as well as a GPU with at least 4GB VRAM, such as a GTX 970 or RX 480. You also only need 8GB of RAM to run the game on minimum settings, which is a little more forgiving.<\/p>\n

On the flipside, if you want to crank Saints Row up to the max (4k 60 FPS), that’ll warrant a Core i5 12600 or a Ryzen 7 5800x. Card-wise, you’re going to need 12GB of VRAM, such as a 3080ti or a RX 6800XT.<\/p>\n

All versions of the game require Windows 10 64bit to run. So if you’re still running ye olde Windows 7 or 8, you’re out of luck. Deep Silver Volition also states the game will require 50GB of drive space to install, and for any setting above the minimum specs, will necessitate installation on a solid-state drive.<\/p>\n

Deep Silver Volition hasn’t specified what kind of graphics settings the PC version will have, but in a recent tech preview<\/a>, Digital Foundry noted that the game “packs a huge suite of options and each setting updates on-the-fly, conveniently showing the game world on the right as the presets change.” These settings include support for Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion with four different presets \u2013 low, medium, high and ultra. The game doesn’t support ray-traced reflections, however, although it does offer multiple presets for screen-space reflections.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Digital Foundry also mentions that its own RTX 3080 and Core i7 7700K rig struggled to maintain 4K 60fps in the open-world sections of the game. That said, this would not have been a final build of the game, and Volition may have improved the game’s overall performance since.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
