Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning PC System Requirements Unveiled

In anticipation of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning’s February 7th release date, 38 Studios and Big Huge Games’ official forums have released the game’s PC system requirements. None of them seem too unreasonable – basically, if you have a decent gaming rig with a lot of RAM, you should be fine.

If you want to compare how your own PC holds up, you can easily check by accessing the DXDIAG menu in Windows Vista and 7. You can bring it up by going to “Search programs and files” from the Start menu, typing in “cmd” to bring up the Command Prompt, and typing in “DXDIAG” at the black window with the flashing cursor thing that pops up.

This brings up the DirectX Diagnostic tool, which tells you everything you need to know about your computer’s RAM, processor, display driver, and a bunch of other things that you probably never wanted to know about your computer.

Check out the full specs after the break.
