The PC conversion of Dark Souls was championed by staunch PC industry veterans earlier this year, until Namco saw that it would definitely make a lot of people happy should it eventually reach our personal computers.
Well that time is drawing ever nearer and we now have the Dark Souls system requirements, so lets take a look and see what sort of system you might need to run Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition...
Dark Souls System Requirements
OS: Windows XP , Windows Vista, Windows 7, or newer
CPU: 2.6 GHz Dual-Core
GPU RAM: 512MB
GPU: ATI Radeon 4850 or better, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or better
RAM: 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista/7)
HDD: 4GB
DX: 9.0c
AUDIO: Direct Sound Compatible
OTHER: Multiplayer requires microphone headset support
So there we go. As expected, only a fairly modest PC, by todays standards, is required to run Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition for the PC.
Thanks to Cham0d for getting these details.
The PC version called Dark Souls Prepare To Die Edition is due out on August 24th 2012.
Does this dark RPG excite you? What do you think the Prepare To Die Edition will have in terms of extras compared to the original console version?

PC Specs
gpu is quiet weak and res. is quiet large wait for how well the game is optimised then we can say :)
PC Specs

PC Specs

PC Specs
Will my rig run this on ultra smoothly ?
PC Specs
Only the minimum requirements were revealed but I'm pretty sure you can run it on ultra without any problems :D

PC Specs
Yes he can :D Smoothly too. The recommended settings aren't out yet so we can't be a 100% sure, but I give you my word that it';; be really playable on ultra ;)
PC Specs
...and there's my 8800 GT again lol
PC Specs
Be thankful it's on the list ;)
PC Specs
Oh, I am! She's there most of the times :P It's still a very good card!
PC Specs
Agreed, My friend bought it 3-4 years ago and he's still using it until now. He told me that throughout 10 years of gaming he had not seen a GPU this efficient and powerful :D
EDIT: Actually it was a GTX, but that's no biggie :D
PC Specs
The only downsize is the limited memory size and it heats quite a lot. It's the best I have had so far though :( The second best was the GeForce 540M lol
PC Specs
I would suggest getting a new rig, but we've already had this conversation before :D
PC Specs
The 8800GT is extremely well made :o, i just bought the new pc that i'm current using but that's because my PC is having heat issues and it's about 4-5 years old, so i thought it was about time for a replacement ^^ But i absolutely LOVE that card.
PC Specs
Loving the souls games, can't wait for this to get out on the pc! Gonna be fun :D
PC Specs
I Agree with you im eager to play it!
PC Specs
I already completed it on xbox360 and ps3. Can't wait to complete the game on PC and get to play the new content as well!
PC Specs
At some point I was planning on buying a PS3 just to play this game, looks amazing.. I can't wait! I like impossible games like this, even Skyrim on the hardest difficulty didn't satisfy me enough :D
PC Specs
Then you really should try games from the 80's and early 90's :D
PC Specs
I've played most old school RPGs but maybe you could suggest me some? :D :D
PC Specs
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons were extremely hard if I remember correctly :D
Also had trouble with completing Eye of The Beholder 2, that was a b***h ;)
