This busy release schedule leading up to the holiday season is at last ramping up to the impressive next-gen experiences we’ve all been patiently waiting for since late last year.
Yet most AAA PC releases appear to be catering toward the upper echelons of the PC gaming market, as their system requirements grow increasingly more demanding. Systems that would have no trouble running games from previous generations, struggle to run recent releases such as Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor even on medium settings.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the latest blockbuster title set to follow this trend. Earlier this week the games minimum requirements were revealed and now the recommended requirements have been released on the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare steam page.
So, is your system strong enough to wage war in the near future?
