Today on the official Borderlands website there was an entry with the system requirements of the third part of the series:
Minimum hardware:
- Operating system – Windows 7/8/10 (with the latest service packs)
- Processor – AMD FX-8350 or Intel Core i5-3570
- RAM – 6GB
- Video card – AMD Radeon HD 7970 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB
- HDD – 75 GB
Recommended hardware:
- Operating system – Windows 7/8/10 (with the latest service packs)
- Processor – AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i7-4770
- RAM – 16GB
- Video card – AMD Radeon RX 590 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- HDD – 75 GB
Looking at the minimum requirements, we can safely assume that older CPUs, for example the same 2500K or FX6300, will be able to feel comfortable in Borderlands 3.
But for some reason there is no such confidence with video cards. Most likely HD7970 and GTX680 will border on non-playable frame rates.
