4a-games has revealed the system requirements to run its upcoming highly anticipated first person shooter, Metro 2033. If you are still recouping from the wrath of Crysis on your PC and wallet resources, be aware that Metro 2033 would require no less than a beast to pull off decent frames. Have a look at the system requirements below and start calculating on the upgrades!

Minimum System Requirements:
Dual core CPU (any Core 2 Duo or better will do)
DirectX 9, Shader Model 3 compliant graphics cards (GeForce 8800, GeForce GT220 and above)
1GB RAM

Recommended System Requirements:
Any Quad Core or 3.0+ GHz Dual Core CPU
DirectX 10 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 260 and above)
2GB RAM

Optimum System Requirements:
Core i7 CPU
NVIDIA DirectX 11 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 480 and 470)
As much RAM as possible (8GB+)
Fast HDD or SSD

Enabling Nvidia 3D Vision:
Metro 2033 utilizes NVIDIA 3D Vision with compatible cards and hardware. To play in 3D you will require:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 and above recommended
A 120Hz (or above) monitor
NVIDIA 3D Vision kit
Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7

You have about 19 days to assemble all the required parts before the game hits stores on March 19, 2010.

    Looking forward to it. Metro 2033 will be the first major release this year to be in 3-d (PC version only)

      Sweet Jesus those are some high specs. I got 6GB DDR2, 260M GTX so I am good there, but I sport a dual core 2.53 and that is pretty far below the 3.0. Man, I hate dropping visuals for framerate. CAn't really bitch, though, got an ASUS laptop for xmas so it was free….

      • Mufaddal Fakhruddin

        You can't really tell, though. System requirements never really tell the whole story. The game could very well perform much better than what you are anticipating or far worse because of poor optimization.

        • Simonq80

          Would I have any hope of running this? I,ve got a core 2 duo 2.0 Ghz, 3gb of ram, and a ATI radeon HD 3650

          • Mufaddal Fakhruddin

            You may be able to play this but pulling off high settings with that rig will be a bit difficult. A low-med combination of settings should give you acceptable fps.

    As much RAM as possible (8GB+) :|

  • matt

    what ya think about a core 2 duo 2.2ghz 4 gb ram ati hd4650 1gb ?? will i be able to play ok ?

  • Bozo

    with high settings yes..with very high nope

  • savage

    how about geforce 8600 gt 512 mb, 3gb ram, and 2.53 ghz dual core? medium somebody? somehow this game looks like STALKER..

    • Mufaddal Fakhruddin

      Yeah, medium seems about right. This is not like STALKER, though you wouldn't be blamed for mistaking it was like one. It is made by the same developers.

  • EliteGamer

    Works With High On:
    9800 gt 1gb ddr3
    core 2 Duo 2.53

      • Mufaddal Fakhruddin

        Well, get it on the Xbox 360?

        Actually, if you are willing to play on low-med, Metro still looks wonderful. What your system specs?

        • Blackfoot

          No!!! Won't come near the specs. needed for 2033. Can just about play Alien vs Pred. at med. settings!!!
          Planning to get something better soon. Still trying to workout what specs. to set for new system. with pc-games specs going up all the time, it could be a problem.

  • Billy jones

    Will i be able to run this with a 4gb ram quad core 2.5ghz and a nvidia geforce 9800GTX ?

    • Mufaddal Fakhruddin

      Yup. You will be able to play it just fine on med-high settings.
