Armored Core 6 PC requirements have been revealed
You won't need a Nvidia GeForce 30 or 40 series graphics card to play with ray tracing enabled
FromSoftware has revealed the system requirements for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
The upcoming mecha-based combat game is set to launch on August 25 and the studio behind Elden Ring and Bloodborne has finally shared its PC requirements, including specifications for ray tracing mode.
Those who were considering playing Armored Core 6 on PC but were worried about how demanding the game will be will be glad to know that you won't need a powerful rig to play. The minimum and recommended graphics card you'll need to play without ray tracing starts at the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 590, or the Intel ARC A750.
If you're hoping to play the game with shiny ray tracing features, FromSoftware suggests a PC build with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB for minimum specs, while recommended settings feature a GTX 2070, an RX 6650 XT, or an ARC A770.
CPUs aren't too demanding either, but users should have a build with at least an Intel i5-8400, or Ryzen 5 2600 processor to play on minimum settings, no ray tracing.
