2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution wasn’t exactly a resource hog. It may have had a fantastic aesthetic, but the original edition of Adam Jensen’s unnecessary request adventure was easy on the PC specs back then, something that it’s sequel Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks to be repeating. In fact, the most taxing part of the install will most likely come down to how much hard drive space real estate you’ve got available, as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will gobble up 45 gigglebytes for the game alone, and another 10 for the DLC.
Here’s the list of minimum and recommended PC requirements from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal, that you totally did ask for, via PC Gamer:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 7.1SP1 or above (64-bit operating system required)
- Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2 GB) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2 GB)
- Storage: 45 GB available space
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD FX 8350 Wraith
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 480 – 1920 x 1080 or Nvidia GTX 970 – 1920 x 1080
- Storage: 55 GB available space
- Additional Notes: 55 GB HD space includes DLC
It’s been a fantastic month so far for gaming. We’re already neck-deep in No Man’s Sky, Hitman’s fourth episode is out next week and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided caps the month off on August 23. According to Square Enix, pre-loading for the game via Steam will be available from Friday August 19 at 9AM PDT/6PM CAT. Xbox One owners can already pre-load Deus Ex: Dude Love Divided while PS4 owners can start on August 21.
I’ve got some high hopes for this sequel. I still think Human Revolution is a superb game, but it wasn’t exactly flawless. After all, spending several hours earning enough Praxis points to hack any e-mail system on the planet wasn’t exactly a useful skill when facing a mandatory boss fight in the form of a human tank who was none too pleased that you cracked his Yahoo mail to sign him up for some spam.
Less of that this time please. That’s what I’m asking for.

The consolers are still sitting there wondering how 16GB is possible 😛
I have to upgrade sometime, it’s been many years now, but it will happen when the money is there.

16GB is close to the maximum STORAGE they have available

8gigabyter here, I too feel your pain. I thought it was cool to have 8gb.
Captain JJ off track
August 12, 2016 at 08:54
Hehe. And I don’t want to get another 8GB, because I’d rather wait and upgrade the motherboard. The struggle is real!

I still play all my games on 1080p at 60fps, so I’m not phased either.

Yea. I don’t know my FPS, I don’t bother, but everything runs smoothly to my muggle eyes. 😀

Do you need more? Do games actually use more?
On my 64 bit machine, I have tested with Civ V and it used no more than 2Gig ram AND 20% CPU. AND ran as slow as you like, cause of GPU.
I have 16Gig ram, to run several virtual machines at a time, if I like.

I think some games could do with more RAM.
I do need a better CPU though, my audio software chows on mine.

Going to buy a desktop in October (keep putting off, waiting to get paid, dammit!).
I thought a 6th gen i5 with 8gig fastish ram and a sort of ok graphics card is fine. Should I look at more than 8 gig ram? Basically, home PC, office and stuff, some streaming. And play Civ 6, even play with lowest graphics settings, I give not a crap.
