Following closely in the pyrotechnic dust trail left behind in the wake of Fury Road, Avalanche is preparing to launch Mad Max in just a few weeks. It's not an official tie-in with the movie, so there's no character crossovers or anything of the sort, but it is Mad Max. So expect plenty of carnage in the wasteland, with vehicular based combat and brutal melee fisticuffs,
Mad Max is set within a post-apocalyptic open-world, with scarce ammo and even scarcer fuel. The remnants of humanity are forced to fight over the remaining resources, but luckily Mad Max himself is equipped with his Magnum Opus. It's a fully upgradeable vehicle that can be armed to the teeth, ready to run and gun down the marauding factions.
Mad Max Minimum System Requirements
- OS: Windows Vista 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-650 3.2 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz
- RAM: 4GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 2GB Video Memory
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB
- HDD: 32GB Free Hard Drive Space
- DX: DirectX 11
- Audio: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound Card
Mad Max Recommended System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 3GB Video Memory
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon HD 7970
Despite the fact Mad Max is running on Avalanche's own in-house Avalanche Engine, these system requirements are almost identical to another title published by Warner Bros - Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. There's a few minor bumps to the graphics cards required, but the processor, memory and even hard drive demands remain much the same.
Avalanche reckon you're going to need 2GB VRAM as a minimum, so it's a bit of a guzzler, and 3GB for recommended. If it's anything like Shadow of Mordor, it open world will push the capabilities of your video card memory to the max, particularly if you're thinking about Ultra settings.
The minimum requirements for Mad Max aren't particularly eye-opening, but you will need a 64-bit system and at least 6GB RAM, so 4GB won't cut it, much like last year's Advanced Warfare. It may be the case that 4GB will suffice, but it could really negatively impact performance.
Remember, you can always check out how well your PC can run the Mad Max System Requirements here, where you can check benchmarking and performance from other users. Compare your graphics card to the Mad Max benchmark chart.

What do you guys think? i can handle it at 60fps?
PC Specs
Isn't the 660ti (minimum req.) a little faster than the 760 (recommended) or it's just about the VRAM?
PC Specs
both of them have 2 gb of vram but gtx 760 is better because of its performance. and also, gtx 700 series cards are of course better than gtx 600 because 600 cards are getting older. gtx 700 cards will get older when nvidia will invent gtx 1000 cards maybe
PC Specs
Recommended GPU RAM is 3 GB so I'd imagine it's the 760 4GB version. 3 GB GPU RAM is the minimal size for higher texture settings for most (non indie) games now.
PC Specs
No the 660ti is slower but it's such a small difference that I really don't see why that is the low and recommended settings. unless the game only has the option to change reso or something this is just going to be wrong, as usual.
PC Specs
No. The 760 is faster. The 760 is 980MHz on a 256-bit bus, & the 660ti is 915MHz on a 192-bit bus. Where the 660ti catches up a little is on the shader performance. 660ti has 1344 CUDA cores, & the 760 has 1152 CUDA cores.
PC Specs
I haven't watched the movie.
Is the movie good?
PC Specs
meh...
PC Specs
hahaha :D
PC Specs
Storyline isn't great but some of the action kinda is! :)
PC Specs
It's kinda MEDIO- just kidding. It's one of the best action movies I've seen in a while. It's almost always constant action and absolutely crazy. Also the style is fantastic. If you like Fallout and Borderlands, you will love this one (and the original Mad Max).
PC Specs
I haven't watched it yet either. I am not sure if it is even possible for me to like it after seeing The Road Warrior so many times when I was a kid. I still love that second Mad Max movie better than all of the others.
PC Specs
can I play this I'm new to crossfire and I haven't played a game that supports crossfire yet will 2 x 280's aka 7970's be enough for this game ?
PC Specs
of course my friend :) don't worry about it :)
PC Specs
cool as :)
PC Specs
yes,i know
PC Specs
Cant wait for it :)
PC Specs
you will have to upgrade your pc :(
PC Specs
He needs to buy a new one, not to upgrade :-D
PC Specs
f*ck you mongrel
PC Specs
Could I play this in 1080p ?
PC Specs
yes why not but if optimization is not good you will have to lower settings :)
PC Specs
Yeah you should be able to. That 870M is almost identical to the minimum required desktop 660ti. The only difference is that the 870M has a slower memory clock speed. The 870M has 1250MHz memory speed vs the 660ti with 1500MHz speed. If you over clock the memory of your 870M to 1500MHz from the factory 1250MHz you should be fine. Good luck & hope for good optimization. ;)
PC Specs
Thanks buddy! Do you really think it's a good idea to overlook a laptop with such a slim design as the MSI GS70? What heat difference would it bring? By the way, is the minimum requirements for 1080p, 30 fps with low settings? :)
PC Specs
Well with a slim laptop you may be right not to want to risk an OC. First thing to do is do in monitor your temps in game & see how much head room you have to OC before hitting the thermal safety limit. Once you hit that safety temp the GPU will down clock & your performance will go to poo so you will want to keep an eye on the temps either way. Even at your stock clocks you should be fine.
PC Specs
I think the minimum is for medium settings @ 1080p & recommended is for high settings @ 1080p. The minimum PC requirements should match or slightly beat the console versions, & I think the console version are normally medium PC settings @ 1080p/30fps. You should be able to pull that off, & if the game gets decent optimization you may get a little better than 30 fps like maybe 40 with dips to 30.
PC Specs
I think PS4 will be high settings.
PC Specs
Well you are thinking wrong. Most of the console versions of games run at medium PC settings. They may have 1 or 2 settings on high like textures & load distance, but that is it. Everything else is set to medium.
PC Specs
Proof most games are medium settings?
PC Specs
Yes I might just check the temps just to see what I'm actually running with, but the top of the laptop is already geting very hot so I'll not OC. Its nice to hear the minimum are for medium settings as I've always thought they are the requirements for just launching the game at low settings @ 1080p
PC Specs
That is how it used to be, but so many people have complained about that over the past few years that I have seen a change in how minimum requirements get listed by developers. I am guessing the devs got tired of so many hate emails from people using the minimum requirement not being able to play. Best way to deal with that is to just start raising the requirements to avoid that happening.
PC Specs
it won't be optimized :D mark my words :D
PC Specs
keep in mind...games will be support DX12 :P
PC Specs
Where does it say Dx12 recommended for this game? Did I miss something?
PC Specs
Oh... LOL! ;)
PC Specs
i say "Games"...not this game :P
PC Specs
this game looks fun I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about it, I doubt its going to be revolutionary or anything, but yeah I might check it out.
PC Specs
I am thinking it will be a lot like RAGE. That isn't a bad thing, but it isn't necessarily a great thing either.
PC Specs
still this req if for 1080p , i never trust req , for ex the witcher 3 , what setting i will run it? what fps?
PC Specs
Why is every game asking for an i7 now?
PC Specs
Has nothing to do with the game. Developers just like publishing stuff
PC Specs
requirements are NEVER true, usually the developers don't have much hardware available and recommend what runs well on the hardware they have, I'm sure that it will run equally as good on an i5 as it will on an i7.
PC Specs
Especially if you look at the AMD counterpart. an Fx8350 could easely be comparable to an i5 4690. Now, it could depend on the core optimization (fx being 8 and i5 being 4 in that case) but I honestly doubt that it would bring such a difference. Although no one could be sure.
PC Specs
FX8350, 6300 or 4300 doesn't really matter, DX11 games do NOT benefit from more than 2 cores/threads, they do benefit from a lot of cache though, anyway an i5 will be better even than an piledriver 128 core for gaming.
PC Specs
Nevermind, I didnt pay attention to the 4,7Ghz... Holy cow...
PC Specs
That is/was a typo.
PC Specs
Yeah, now corrected :)
PC Specs
GTX 760 with HD 7970? What the crap? 7970 is faster
PC Specs
Seems like nvidia optimized? or maybe just marketing? or both?
PC Specs
Or you could look at the minimum requirements and see the same situation reversed....... devs just pull these requirements out of nowhere, they don't know a thing about hardware because they never have to touch anything less than their I7 5960X, Quad Titan X development rigs..... they just guesstimate how it's going to run for lower end rigs than that.
PC Specs
do I stand a chance at 720p ?
PC Specs
yes 30+ frames at low to medium
PC Specs
Im sure you can handle this game at least at high settings with your actual resolution, maybe a little more at 35+fps, 768p is 750 ti sweet spot, good luck.
PC Specs
Thanks for quick reply
do you think my cpu is ok for 768p specially after dx12 has rolled out
PC Specs
Yep :)
PC Specs
It's a little too early to tell, but my guess is that we'll atleast be able to run at medium, dropping the res down a bit should definitely help.
PC Specs
At 720p you stand a big chance of running it on medium-high, but it really depends on the optimization.
PC Specs
Thanks I think I should take it. And I will definitely add my benchmarks for this game whet it comes out
PC Specs
Will i be able to Max Out this game, based on my custom resolution??
PC Specs
we have similar pc specs :)
PC Specs
lol they want us to overclock our 8350 to 4.7 ghz
PC Specs
Looks decent, I might pick it up.
PC Specs
Settings for me? Is there a chance to not go under 40fps?
PC Specs
u have a good GPU u just need to upgrade ur CPU then you'll be fine for all upcoming games
PC Specs
I would say the cpu will hold you back a bit but dont go on these requirments. an i5 will get you the game on high to ultra depending on their optimisation of it.
PC Specs
why do you have to ask, this website has every tool you need to find out
PC Specs
No thanks. 3 GB for recommended?
ANOTHER unoptimised WB pile of crap.
PC Specs
What? Cause the recommended is 3GB of Vram it doesn't mean it is bad optimized, look and shadow of mordor, same engine and that games runs like a dream.
With 8GB Cards on the market right now it is normal that them use more resources to make the PC games look a lot better than consoles, and that is a good thing,
PC Specs
agree with you
PC Specs
A lot better than consoles? I have yet to see any PC game that looks "much better" than a PS4 version. Games like Battlefield, Watch Dogs, Unity were poorly coded and it's quite obvious it does not take advantage of the hardware.
PC Specs
(Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz) Taken from steam......Where did you guys get the 4.7ghz from?
PC Specs
I think its just a typo, it happens.
PC Specs
They better not even think about releasing some poorly optimized piece of crap for this epic franchise, else they're gonna face my wrath in the Thunderdome!
PC Specs
I hate how people judge how good a game is based on it's optimization...
Poor optimization does NOT make a game worse, it makes the studio and the publisher especially look worse....
PC Specs
If people can't play it because of bad optimization then it really doesn't matter how good the actual game content is because we can't experience it the way it was intended..... it doesn't really matter whos fault it is, if the final product is crap.... then it's crap.
PC Specs
agree...but bad optimization depend on the game(how devs work), not system req...some games has high system req...but optimization is good :)
sorry for the english
PC Specs
Actually NO game for the past 5-6 years has been well optimized(mainly due to tight budgets and deadlines), there were just games that were less optimized than others. Anyways it is true, there are games which run well and are demanding for what they are and there are games like assassin's creed unity which atm is optimized decently and people just do NOT want to admit that the game is demanding and still blame it on the optimization....
PC Specs
Take note that the phenom II 965 runs at 3.4GHz not 3.5.
