Fable III PC system requirements

Will your Matrox Millennium still cut it?

In May, Fable III arrives on PC. But will your machine be able to play it?

The bad news is you won't be able to play the game running Windows Millennium Edition. Nor will two Voodoo 2 graphics cards do the trick. And I'm sorry but that Pentium III processor will have to go.

The recommended specs are:

  • Operating System: Windows 7
  • CPU: Intel Pentium 2.9Ghz Core 2 Duo or higher
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Graphics: NVIDIA 260GTX 896MB or ATI 5770 1GB or higher
  • Hard-drive: 12GB free space

The minimum specs are:

  • Operating System: Windows 7, Vista, XP
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz or AMD Athlon X2 4000+
  • Graphics: NVIDIA 7600GT or ATI HD 2600 Pro
  • RAM: 2GB
  • Hard-drive: 12GB free space

Fable III on PC boasts an exclusive Hardcore mode as well as stereoscopic 3D support.

Fable III launched on Xbox 360 last autumn, scoring 8/10 on Eurogamer.
