The PC system requirements for Resident Evil 7 are out, and they shouldn’t scare your machine too badly.

Resident Evil 7 is still a few months away, but Capcom has already posted the PC system requirements. The list showed up on the game’s Steam page.

The requirements aren’t all that onerous, as you’ll only need a GTX 760 to hit the minimum, and a GTX 960 to make it to the recommended line. As you can see in the notes Capcom included, the recommended specs will get you running at 60 fps at 1080P. Higher resolutions will of course require more horsepower.

Here’s the full spec list:

Minimum Specs

  • OS: Windows 7,8,8.1,10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 2.70GHz or AMD FX-6300 or better
  • Memory: 8GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x
  • DirectX: Version 11

Additional Notes: 1080P CPU/GPU at 30FPS Players will have to either lower texture or set streaming textures to OFF in order to optimize performance.

Recommended Specs

  • OS: Windows 7,8,8.1,10 64-BIT
  • Processor: Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz or AMD or better
  • Memory: 8GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 280X or better
  • DirectX: Version 11

Additional Notes: 1080P CPU/GPU at 60FPS
