In the lead up to the release of Elden Ring, From Software has announced the necessary specs to run the game on PC. They appear to put a lot of strain on the player’s hardware. If the specifications are any indication, the game will be more  hardware intense  than some FromSoftware’s previous PC releases.

Elden Ring is a significant improvement over the studio’s previous efforts, such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Whereas previous From Software titles take on a more linear, Metroidvania-style exploration system with tight and often small-scale levels, Elden Ring features a massive open-world for players to explore however they see fit with many smaller dungeons scattered throughout.

According to the announcement, players will need at least 12 GB of RAM to run the game, with 16 GB being the obvious sweet spot for everything to run smoothly. The GPU requirement is far more intriguing, as the GTX 1060 (with 3 GB of VRAM) is listed as the minimum required to play Elden Ring, while the GTX 1070 is listed as the recommended option.

The relatively minor difference between the minimum and recommended PC graphics card requirements could indicate that the game doesn’t visually scale all that much and that any newer mid-range GPU should have no trouble running it. Elden Ring’s system requirements are vastly more demanding than Dark Souls 3′ for example.

Call of Duty: Vanguard will be released in a few days, so now is the time to make sure your PC is ready for action.  Yesterday, Activision published a new blog post listing Vanguard’s PC system requirements. The game seems surprisingly adaptable. There’s also a whole new PC-focused trailer too.

Call of Duty has had decent specs that scale well from older devices to newer technology in recent years, but it has also been a significant space thief. Last year’s Black Ops – Cold War required over 80GB at launch, which is a blessing in comparison to the 147GB required by Call of Duty: Warzone right now.

Vanguard is going to be much smaller though, which is great news. When you have all three modes installed – that’s Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies – the game will only take up 61GB of space. That’s after installation too. Assuming you’ll uninstall the campaign mode once you’re finished with it, the other two modes only take up a combined space of 36GB. That’s a massive difference compared to Warzone.

Here are the full specs and recommended requirements to run Call of Duty: Vanguard:
