Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater System Requirements Set, Require an RTX Card
The upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake showcases stunning visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. However, its system requirements reveal a surprising demand: a minimum requirement of an RTX 2060 Super graphics card.
Key System Requirements:
* OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
* Processor: Intel i5 8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (recommended: i7 8700K or Ryzen 5 3600)
* Memory: 16 GB RAM
* Graphics: RTX 2060 Super (or later; recommended: RTX 3080 or later)
* DirectX: Version 12
* Storage: 100 GB (SSD recommended)
RTX Card Requirement:
The RTX 2060 Super minimum graphics requirement is unusual for a mid-range card released five years ago. Other recent games such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Doom: The Dark Ages also require similar GPUs.
CPU and Storage:
The CPU requirements are reasonable, with budget-friendly options available. Storage space of 100 GB is required, subject to change. An SSD is recommended for optimal performance.
Unreal Engine 5 and GPU Requirement:
The switch to Unreal Engine 5 likely contributes to the GPU demand. The hardware-based ray tracing capabilities of RTX cards may be necessary for Lumen, Unreal Engine 5's illumination and reflection system.
Release Date:
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is scheduled to release on August 28, 2023. Further details about the technical requirements and performance optimization may be revealed closer to launch.
