Twitter

"Batman Arkham Knight" is slated for a June 23, 2015 release for next-gen consoles and Microsoft Windows. According to the details present on NVIDIA's website, the upcoming video game will require PC gamers to install very capable components inside their systems since "Batman Arkham Knight" is expected to be a very taxing video game.

At the bare minimum, users will be required to have Intel's Core i5-750 (1st generation) or AMD's Phenom II X4 965 CPU running in their systems in order to fulfill the base processing requirements of the upcoming title. Additionally, a minimum of 6 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (2 GB video RAM) or equivalent will be required to experience smooth gameplay. "Batman Arkham Knight" might not require as much hard drive space as Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto V," but gamers should have at least 45 GB of hard drive space available in their systems to avoid running in to storage issues.

As for the recommended system requirements, nothing less than Intel's Core i7-3770 or AMD's octa-core FX-8350 should be running to facilitate fluid gameplay. Furthermore, 8 GB of RAM and 3 GB of video frame buffer from a GTX 760 graphics processor or equivalent will be necessary to enable majority of the graphical settings. Developing studio of "Batman Arkham Knight," Rocksteady has not commented on the total amount of video RAM that will be required by the upcoming open-world adventure title, but gamers will be quickly be running out of that video frame buffer should they choose to play on the 1600p or 2160p resolutions.

Due to the minimum amount of system RAM required to play the game, 32 bit version of Windows operating system will not be compatible. Instead, PC gamers are recommended to be running a 64 bit Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 platform in order to run "Batman Arkham Knight" with little hiccups.
