PC System Analysis for Need For Speed
NFS 2016's official system specs are now released. You will need a mid to top end PC to get this Need For Speed Reboot running on Recommended. The Nvidia GTX 970 coupled with a core i5 and 8GB RAM will be enough, or a Phenom II X4 with the AMD R9 290. There wont be a 60 frames per second cap on this version of NFS, so a more powerful graphics card than the GTX 970 will certainly help reach strong frame rates.
Need For Speed is a reboot of the iconic racing series. The nocturnal racing popularised in Underground returns, with a vast open-world, deep car customisation, immersive narrative and authentic urban car culture.
