The game that brought us Bullet Time back in 2001 is getting its next installment and so far it looks hot. The PC version of Max is being developed in parallel with the game's console versions. Max Payne 3 for PC supports DirectX11 including tessellation, as well as a number of additional advanced graphics options and is optimized to run across a wide range of PC setups.
The Max Payne 3 system requirements range from playable on a 5 year old machine through to Max Payne 3 can use up to 16GB of RAM and anything you can throw at it! Take a deep breath and lets take a look at the Max Payne 3 system requirements in full...

Ok that sounds like some heavy shit. Let me break down what this is saying before every PC owner throws his arms in the air while saying, "Why do we even bother?"
The Max Payne 3 minimum system requirements basically look like a Console. The game is going to run on consoles so it is fair to say that with adjustment a five year old machine will probably be able to run this game.
I have changed the Max Payne 3 Recommended System Requirements to read Max Payne 3 Max System Requirements. As you may know these system components are the top hardware on the market at the moment. By adding these as plausible requirements the developers are basically saying Max Payne 3 will be able to make use of all hardware currently available. This means that PC owners will be able to adjust in game settings to a level that is best for their particular hardware. Remember BF3 everyone? Despite its huge requirements it scaled nicely and delivered most modern PC owners an experience that looks stunning with a few tweaks regardless of their rig.
On our Max Payne 3 game page we have added the GD Adjusted system requirements which represent a reasonably powerful PC that we feel will deliver a great Max Payne 3 gaming experience when the time comes.
Game-Debate will be watching this with interest and we definitely want all your feedback guys. When the time comes I want you to post up Frame Rates and screen resolutions in the Max Payne 3 Ratings page.
For now, I want to hear all your rants and thoughts in the discussion area below.
Thanks go to Us24man and GD admin TeroMarsu for spreading the Max Payne 3 System Requirement news. Give them a thumbs up everyone.

PC Specs
I laughed when it says, max system requirements: RAM: 16GB
PC Specs
Lol, you're laughing when 99% of people are crying.
PC Specs
Yeah I thought my 12GB was overkill :D
PC Specs
but now its useful :D
PC Specs
But, what happens if, the pc has a single slot of RAM only? that means 8GB RAM can only fit inside. Am i right?
PC Specs
A single DIMM slot? I doubt there is a motherboard with a single slot...
PC Specs
it realy hurts when i saw the games .....having this much huge sys requirement......
PC Specs
16 gb ram its killing me,,
im only have 8 gb ram..
need more money for upgarde my ram..
and i decide playing this game on ps3..
PC Specs
No no dont play it on PS3 when you have a rig like that. Your rig will easily play this game and it will look really good. You do not need 16GB RAM, they are just saying that they feel the game can use 16GB RAM if a machine has it. Chances are you would not really notice the difference if you had 16GB or 8GB or maybe even 6 or 4.
PC Specs
Yeah playing with PS3 is like playing with a rig that has i7 @3.2GHz, GeForce 7600 256Mb, 256Mb RAM... :/
PC Specs
thnx really big thnx for the info..
i almost pre order max payne for ps3..
im decided take this game on pc version altough release date is still long than ps3 version..
maybe we can play together in multiplayer mode..
PC Specs
Yeah let's have a match once this is released, I'm definetly going to purchase this :)
PC Specs
Has 3 PS3, all are getting slower. Or dead. Their not responsive anymore. Can stand about 3 years i think.
PC Specs
Yeah it's sad that is has come to this, older consoles from the 80's and 90's are still functional :D
PC Specs
i think at my resolution i will b able to play it at medium setting....am i rite ??
PC Specs
Most likely :) Especially if you don't mind playing without AA.
PC Specs
16gb ram?are you kidding?
PC Specs
max payne is now bald,old.. but now it's doesn't matter because he can still use bullet time!
PC Specs

PC Specs
oh,,,, my God
PC Specs
f*ck 35gb hdd
PC Specs

PC Specs
Visit the game page and use the system requirement tool. Basically if you get close to the GD Adjusted requirements we have displayed on that page then it is very likely that you will get a good gaming performance on this game.
PC Specs
What the hell is the spec what are the features
PC Specs
this spec so high 16 gb ram holy cow
:0
maybe gta 5 using 32gb ram with 2 sli 590
PC Specs
This must surely be the MOST demanding game ever! atleast on paper :p but im sure i'l be able to play this as my rig meets the 'minimum requirements' XD
PC Specs
im afraid i cant play this game..
because my comp spec not good at all
PC Specs
Don't be afraid, you'll be fine, your rig still does meet the minimum system requirements :)
PC Specs
The doomsday has come! GD admin is telling a gamer with i5/GTX 560/6GB RAM that his rig 'meets the minimum requirements' :D
PC Specs
lol, don't worry, you meet the minimum requirements too :D
PC Specs
Yeah, this is pretty unbelieveable :D
PC Specs
Why is this unbelievable, that may because of your flu, maybe? lol I think he didn't read the minimum system requirements lol :D
PC Specs
I really thought my rig would run anything on ultra for atleast this year :D :D
PC Specs
lol, I really thought my rig would run anything on low for atleast this year :D :D
PC Specs
Ahahahahahahaaa :D
PC Specs
Discussions always start from somewhere and end from somewhere completely different than where it started. ;)
PC Specs
And it's always the admins :D
PC Specs
:D
PC Specs
ah poor me
if it like that
i take this game on ps3 version..
thnx all for answer my question..
PC Specs
Noooooooooooo that is foolish! read this
PC Specs
You will be just fine. I am convinced you will have a great gaming experience of Max Payne 3 with a GTX 560 as will people with cards far weaker than it.
PC Specs
yeah,,, my card is weaker than his.... :(
PC Specs
Guess we will have to see how well optomized this game really is.... GTA IV was a horrible port... hopefully Rockstar has PC gamers in mind as well this time... they have intergrated DX11 so my hopes are slightly UP...
PC Specs
Fingers crossed :)
PC Specs
I think I just had a minor heart attack looking at those recommended requirements...
PC Specs
Also, think about what is going to be Max Payne 4's recommended system requirements. :O
PC Specs
Well it's going to be a few years until that so I'm guessing something like 'Intel i9/3.6GHz 16-core CPU, GTX 880/HD9970 8GB VRAM, 32GB RAM' :D :D
PC Specs
Who knows, might be higher than that :P
