The required hard drive space is a massive increase (probably due to the increased textures) and runs close to the install size for NBA 2K14 on the Xbox One.

8GB is now the norm for gaming PCs (as we can see from the Steam Hardware and Software Survey), with 16GB becoming increasingly popular as memory prices continue to drop and 64 bit operating systems becoming the norm.

Let’s just drill through those numbers a bit: there isn’t too much to say about the need for a gamepad, the DX9 compatible soundcard (pretty standard on any modern PC), or even the 4GB of RAM, (if you fail at the 4GB of RAM stage you’ll almost certainly fail the other requirements!). Sound Card: : 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card Graphics: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor or equivalent Video: Shader Model 3.0 support with 512MB Ram (Nvidia(R) GeForce(R) 8800 GT or better) Processor: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor or equivalent Note: “recommended” is the PC you need to play the game and fully enjoy all aspects smoothly, you can find the minimum specification at the bottom of the page.Ĭompare this to the recommended spec for NBA 2K14: Hard Drive: 50 or more GB available space Graphics: DirectX 11.0 compatible (2 GB) or better Those playing NBA 2K14 on an older system or laptop might want to compose themselves before reading these specifications! In short if you don’t have a fairly modern gaming PC you are going to have trouble running this game! I suspect the requirements may come as a shock to many (especially those who haven’t seen other next-gen ports, such as Watch Dogs). It goes without saying that the improvement in graphics has caused a big shift in the recommended system requirements. Amazon is also listing an October 7th release date for NBA 2K15 PC). PC gamers will also get the game three days before console owners (compare the Steam screenshot with the previous “ October 10th” press release. The Steam pre-order page for NBA 2K15 (PC) confirms some of the rumours that have been surfacing recently, the game will indeed be “a fully featured Next-Gen experience” (at a heavy cost, in terms of hardware).
