Dead Island 2 system requirements revealed
With just 10 days remaining until the open-world zombie brawler Dead Island 2 (opens in new tab) goes live, Deep Silver has unveiled the detailed system requirements and a technical FAQ (opens in new tab) that digs a little deeper into what players can expect.
First things first, the numbers:
Minimum (1080p, 30 fps):
- CPU: AMD FX-9590 or Intel Core i7 7700HQ
- RAM: 10GB
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 or GeForce GTX 1060
- Storage: 70GB
Recommended (1080p, 60 fps):
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i9 9900K
- RAM: 16GB
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 Super
- Storage: 70GB
High (1440p, 60 fps):
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or Intel Core i5 12600KF
- RAM: 16GB
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT or GeForce RTX 3070
- Storage: 70GB
Ultra (4K, 60 fps):
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or Intel Core i7 13700K
- RAM: 16GB
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT or GeForce RTX 3090
- Storage: 70GB
Dead Island 2 will support AMD’s FSR2 and FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening, but its FAQ includes the odd claim that it “does not support performance-boosting software.” Deep Silver didn’t specify what exactly that means, but the best guess is that it refers to Nvidia’s DLSS, which is not mentioned in the specs or FAQ. It doesn’t make much sense to only call Nvidia’s upscaling technology “performance-boosting software” when AMD’s FSR is much the same. Regardless, it seems like the takeaway here is no DLSS support. Bummer.
