Ghost Games has pledged a flattering amount of attention to the delayed PC port of Need for Speed, such as uncapped framerates, 4K support and manual transmission gearboxes. If that excites you but you're worried Need for Speed won't run on the toaster that you've been passing off as a PC, the devs have at last released the system requirements. These are just as thorough, defining precisely what is meant by 'minimum' and 'recommended'. We PC types are too easy to woo.
The minimum requirements for 720p and 30fps at low settings:

- Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 or equivalent with four hardware threads
