These are all pretty standard requirements for a game these days. My computer just keeps up with the preferred specs... Sounds like I will need a new CPU and GPU soon though.

My computer is far from great and I (theoretically) could play this on medium.

My computer hasn't been able to keep with some of the most recent games for PC. Minimum yes, but recommended no. I plan to do a major overhaul and build a new system within a few months. I ran the RE5 benchmark released a while ago and I was hitting only about 40FPS with med-high settings.

Oh wait... I have this for the Xbox 360, forgot about that

You shouldn't really matter about system requirements. This iMac doesn't reach Crysis's system minimum system requirements but I can still play it with a decent frame rate.

All good for me, but already played the game on 360 and thought it was rubbish.

Interesting that a quad core processer is reccomended for this game though. Maybe my C2D will be obsolete by next year..?

If your not sure if you will meet the requirements try the benchmark they released, its also a pretty good indication of how the game will look and play.

I was getting around 60FPS with everything on high at 1080p in the benchmark (except section 3, which seems to have a problem with ATI cards). I probably won't be buying the game again, I've played the hell out of the PS3 version, but it shows that Capcom has some wizards working in their PC porting team. I think DMC4 also performed amazingly.
