Mass Effect 2 System Requirements are out

Mass Effect 2 is going to be released next year on January 26.

This gaming title would be available for PCs and Microsoft Xbox 360.

BioWare has revealed some details on the system requirements and other information.

BioWare community director Chris Priestly said: “The boxed/retail PC version of Mass Effect 2 will use only a basic disk check and it will not require online authentication. This is the same method as Dragon Age: Origins. Digital versions will use the retailer’s protection system.”

Minimum requirements for the PC
- 15 GB hard drive
- Windows Vista SP1 / Windows XP SP3 / Windows 7
- 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor or equivalent AMD CPU
- 1GB RAM for Windows XP/ 2GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
- 1x Speed DVD ROM
- DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
- DirectX 9.0c August 2008 included
- 256 MB Video card (should support Pixel Shader 3.0)
- Chipsets supported: ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater; NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater

Intel and S3 video cards are apparently not supported officially.
NVIDIA GeForce 7300, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, and 9300 and ATI Radeon HD3200 or HD4350 owners might be required to upgrade to something more powerful to play this game.
