If Ghost Games’ recent post is anything to be believed, the wait between the original release of Need for Speed and its PC release, launching March 15th, is well worth it.
Now sporting an unlocked frame rate, support for 4K resolution as well as a number of visual tweaks besides, Ghost Games seem fairly confident we’ll love the additional effort made – we hope so.
For those wondering if they’ll even be able to play it, Ghost Games and EA have released its hardware requirements.

OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 or equivalent with 4 hardware threads

For those of you who can’t wait, don’t forget that EA is still giving away Need for Speed Most Wanted away for free on Origin.
