Need for Speed Wheel Support & System Requirements

Posted on

Ghost Games and EA Games just posted the PC system requirements (minimum and recommended) for Need for Speed, including racing wheel support and specs for 1080p60 gaming. The newest entry in the Need for Speed franchise reminds us of ages-distant NFS Underground series, primarily focusing on night-time street racing and car modification.

The NFS post indicates that Ghost Games, the developers, have learned PC gamers demand more – mostly more frames, as they've unlocked the framerate for March 15th's Need for Speed.

Here's a list of requirements:

Minimum Requirements for 720p30 at low settings:

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later

  • Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 or equivalent with 4 hardware threads

  • Memory: 6GB RAM

  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB, AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB, or equivalent DX11 compatible GPU with 2GB of memory

Recommended Requirements for 1080p60 at high settings: 

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-4690 or equivalent with 4 hardware threads
