The latest system requirements News for The Secret World

Full system requirements for The Secret World reported on May-31-2012

The Secret World System Requirements [pc]

The Secret World first came to us three years ago with a very memorable FMV trailer starring a gorgeous female, modern-day ninja litterally coming face to face with some otherworldly monster. This certainly captured our interests. Check it out if you havent done already.

The idea behind Funcom's MMORPG is that every myth and urban legend actually has truth behind it. The system requirements for an MMORPG seem pretty high to us, but if that is the case then we may be in for a beautiful experience. Lets take a look at The Secret Worlds system requirements...

The Secret World Minimum System Requirements

OS: Windows XP (SP 1)/Vista (SP 1)/Windows 7 (SP 1)

CPU: 2.6 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU DIRECTX DirectX 9.0c Compatible

GPU: nVidia 8800 series 512 VRAM or better/Radeon HD3850 512MB or better

RAM: 2GB RAM for Windows XP / 3GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7

HDD: 30GB or more free hard disk space

DVD-ROM: 8X or faster DVD drive (Only needed for installation)

OTHER: 512 KBPS or faster Internet Connection, Keyboard & Mouse

As we said, these seem a little steep for an mmorpg system requirements so we are looking to hear back from you as soon as you have tried it.

Thanks to our admin Cham0d for finding this one. We always encourage all our members to report any official system requirements if we have not got them yet, so please keep your eyes out and tell us as soon as you spot something [make sure they are official though].

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're asking about the HP Envy Sleekbook 6 you can correct me if I am wrong. But I am not seeing it listed on here so you need to contact Pip about adding it to the list.

This system may have troubles with The Secret World. But with some clever adjustments like buying a new CPU and more RAM you may be able to run it.

Whoa, really? So I guess on a 1366 x 768 display I could play on ultra? That's just fantastic, I was hoping for 60 on mid for this price, on my laptop(p540,hd5650) i get 20-30fps on low...

yep :) but this game is not so demanding,but you might wanna pick a little bit stronger cpu if you can,because pentium g860 will bottleneck your hd 7770 just a little bit,so if you can get some i3 cpu,but if you cant g860 will be also good,and yeah on 1333x768 display you will be able to play most of the newer games on high settings :) the older one easily on max settings :)

Thanks for the help, so if I managed to get some more cash it would be better to change the cpu for i3 rather than get a better gpu?

no,the best thing would be if you buy some i3 with hd7770,but if you wont have any money for the that your current gd profile rig is also great,(g860 and hd 7770) so if you wanna save little money ,then you buy this rig on your profile,and yea you can always OC your cpu and then you will get better performance :)
