Mass Effect 2 PC Requirements, DRM details
Mass Effect 2 System requirements modest, DRM is minimal
BioWare has today unveiled the PC system requirements for its much-anticipated Mass Effect 2, as well as the barebones DRM solution the sci-fi RPG sequel will employ.
Mass Effect 2's DRM will be "a basic disk check" without online authentication, though BioWare notes digital distributors will of course have their own methods of protection.
Minimum System Requirements
- Processor: 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
- Memory: 1 GB RAM for Windows XP / 2 GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
- Video Card: 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported Chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater; ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater. Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 7300, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, and 9300; ATI Radeon HD3200, and HD4350 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required. Intel and S3 video cards are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2.
