That's a pretty hefty machine required in order to run the game in all its glory. Anyone looking to upgrade may want to start shopping now :)
 
The gap between the minimum and recommended specs is very significant. I don't think anyone will have trouble running this game.

They are BS! So ppl would go out and buy new GPU or CPU. They did this every single time!

GTX 660 has been out for a few years. I don't think that's the case.
 
My PC can handle this game but I am getting mkx on ps4 so
Me too, I'm heading back to console for MKX because since switching to Steam MK9 after playing it on 360 and PS3 since day release, the Steam version is the worst in my opinion out the lot for online play.

Are you guys serious? These specs are not high whatsoever. The minimum CPU and GPU are 4 years old. Also, 3GB of RAM for minimum? That's grandma's laptop-tier. The recommended GPU is a low-level card that was released 2+ years ago. The only ridiculous part is 40GB of hard drive space. That's some Max Payne 3 bullshit right there.

My $600 backup PC I built a year ago could max this game out at 1080p/60fps. You guys need to upgrade your toasters if these specs threaten you.

>>R2 - BF4 = Unblockable.
The only thing that seems a bit odd there is the CPU requirement, everything else looks pretty standard; the 660 is by no means a top end card any more. Either way my PC should handle this no problem, I'm just hoping the online is good and what is with the 15GB differnece? That's really strange unless there are optional installs.

You: OMG DEEZ SPECS R 2 HIGH WTF DIS IS A OUTRAGE HOW DO I COMPUTER
Reasonable People: No, these specs are actually quite low-to-mid range. Even the recommended hardware has been out for years.
You: OMG TROLLS

You're embarrassing yourself.
Lol i was talking about ppl mentioning consoles in every thread.

I repeat, these SR would be ok for Shadow of Mordor or for Far Cry 4 (They actually are similar to these, shocking i know) but for MKX??? 2.5D UE3 fighting game??? LMFAO please just stop!

Cpu requirements seems a bit high. I will play for sure on console for the single reason of online and consistency. PC have different frametime even at locked framerate (ie 60 preferably but you never know for your opponent), this is two different things (input register can vary from 0ms to 16ms). So it's always gonna be a problem for fighting game, even in local. Console versions have always the same frame time, that's very important, the hardware is the same for every one.
