Another year, another FIFA. The big change for FIFA 19 is the addition of the official UEFA Champions League and Europa League licenses. This used to be PES territory but EA has gobbled up the license, making FIFA 19 the only place to play the biggest club competition in the world. No one wants to be battling with a frame rate drop while trying to score a last-minute winner in the Wanda Metropolitano though, so here the PC specs you'll need to run FIFA 19.

FIFA 19 Minimum System Requirements

• OS: Windows 7 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz
• RAM: 8 GB System Memory
• GPU RAM: 1GB Video Memory
• GPU: GeForce GTX 460 or Radeon R7 260
• DX: DirectX 11
• HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space

FIFA 19 Recommended System Requirements

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i3-6300T 3.3GHz or AMD Athlon X4 870K 3.9GHz
• RAM: 8 GB System Memory
• GPU RAM: 4GB Video Memory
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon R9 270X
• DX: DirectX 12
• HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space

You know the drill by now - once EA Sports has made the leap to a new generation and a new engine (in FIFA's case, the Frostbite 3 game engine), the system requirements tend to be pretty much locked, year in, year out. And FIFA 19 is no different. The system requirements for FIFA 19 are identical to the FIFA 18 PC specs, bar one tiny change. The minimum spec GPU for FIFA 19 has dropped down from a Radeon R7 260X to a lower-end Radeon R7 260, which is more in line with the minimum spec Nvidia GTX 460 GPU. 

Aside from that one change though, everything else is exactly how it was last year. The FIFA series is designed to run across a broad range of PC systems and FIFA 19 is no different. Down at the minimum spec, a positively ancient dual-core processor will suffice, paired with a 1GB video card. These specs should be capable of decent frame rates at 720p, although higher resolutions will likely need more than 1GB VRAM.

As for the recommended specs, a GTX 670 or Radeon R9 270X can max FIFA 19's graphics settings out. More modern mid-range cards such as the GTX 1060 or the Radeon RX 580 should absolutely tear through FIFA 19 and hit frame rates in the 100+ range.
