Bioware announces Dragon Age system requirements

18 June 2009

Bioware’s upcoming fantasy RPG, Dragon Age: Origins is due for release on October 20 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
In order for PC owners to run the game they will require at the very least:

Minimum Requirments

•    OS: Windows XP with SP3
•    CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.4Ghz or greater
•    AMD X2 (or equivalent) running at 1.8Ghz or greater
•    RAM: 1GB or more
•    Video: ATI Radeon X850 128MB or greater
•    NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB or greater
•    DVD ROM (Physical copy)
•    20 GB HD space

Those wanting to run the game in Vista will require a slightly beefier machine.

Vista Requirements

•    OS: Windows Vista with SP1
•    CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
•    AMD X2 (or equivalent) running at 2.2GHZ or greater
•    RAM: 1.5 GB or more
•    Video: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater
•    NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater
•    DVD ROM (Physical copy)
•    20 GB HD space

Gamers wanting to enjoy the Dragon Age experience at higher settings will be most interested in the game’s recommended system specs:

Recommended Requirements

•    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent
•    RAM: 4 GB (Vista) or 2 GB (XP)
•    Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
•    NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
•    DVD ROM (Physical copy)
•    20 GB HD space

The recommended system specs are in line with an fairly average gaming PC, although we suspect that those wanting to get the best out of this game will want something along the lines of an HD 4870 of GTX 260 216.
