UPDATE: Capcom has updated the official PC system requirements for Devil May Cry 5. They've had a little play around as we near DMC5's March 8th launch date, tweaking several important specs and simultaneously making Devil May Cry 5 easier to run whilst also raising the recommended specs.
Devil May Cry 5 Minimum System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz or AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon R7 260X
- DX: DirectX 11
- HDD: 35GB Available Hard Drive Space
Devil May Cry 5 Recommended System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 6 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 480
- DX: DirectX 11
- HDD: 35GB Available Hard Drive Space
First of all, then, the minimum system specs for Devil May Cry 5 have been lowered. Capcom says DMC5 can now be played with a much weaker Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-6300 CPU versus the previously suggest Core i7-4770 or Ryzen 5 1500X processors. Nvidia's minimum spec GPU for DMC5 stays the same while AMD's suggest GPU drops to a Radeon R7 260X. This is actually a much weaker video card than the GeForce GTX 760, perhaps indicative of Capcom's partnership with AMD for Devil May Cry 5. These lowered CPUs and GPUs contribute to an overall 15% decrease in system requirements.
There are big changes to be found in Devil May Cry 5's recommended system requirements as well. The CPUs have been switched for older Intel and AMD processors, although the Core i7-3770 and FX-9590 still have roughly the same performance as the Core i7-4770 and Ryzen 5 1500X. It's the graphics cards that make the biggest difference here/ Previously you could've got away with a low-end GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380 for playing DMC5 at 1080p/High, now you'll need a mid-range GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 480 8GB graphics card.
In the chart below you can see how the system requirements have changed for Devil May Cry 5 since the original announcement. As you can see, the recommended specs for DMC5 have increased considerably while the minimum specs have lowered, ensuring DMC5 (2019) should run on a wider range of PC gaming systems.
Recommended represents 100% using our hardware algorithm, while the other figures represent the relative demand of the hardware.
For GeForce GTX 1060 6GB owners this now means you can expect a considerable drop in frame rates in Devil May Cry 5 compared to previously expected. Based upon the previous specs we estimated the GTX 1060 would hit 103 frames per second at 1080p / High in DMC5, whereas now we have revised this down to 60FPS.
Original Story: 21-Sep-2019 - Devil May Cry 5 PC System Requirements Revealed - Intel Core i7-4770 Minimum CPU
The devil hunters are back. Dante and Nero return for fast-paced demon-slicing action in Devil May Cry 5 early next year. Capcom's in-house team is back at the helm for DMC5, providing a true sequel to DMC 4. Devil May Cry 5 is the first in the series to be built using Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, offering the most detailed visuals yet seen in a Devil May Cry title. But what's that mean for PC performance and system specs? Here are the official DMC5 PC system requirements.
Devil May Cry 5 Minimum System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 2.8 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon R9 270X
- DX: DirectX 11
- HDD: 35GB Available Hard Drive Space
Devil May Cry 5 Recommended System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 2.8 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380
- DX: DirectX 11
- HDD: 35GB Available Hard Drive Space
When looking at the system requirements for Devil May Cry 5, there's one thing that really sticks out. Both the minimum and recommended requirements for DMC5 are identical except for the graphics cards.
The suspicion is the system specs for Devil May Cry 5 could change a great deal between now and its March 9th release date. They could stay exactly as they are of course, although we believe the recommended GPUs may rise slightly while the minimum CPUs will actually drop. It won't be major changes but there's no way DMC5 needs a Core i7-4770 as the minimum spec processor.
In fact, if we look at Resident Evil 7's system requirements we get a decent idea of where both performance and system requirements are headed. DMC5 is based on the same RE Engine as Resident Evil 7 and features very similar system specs. However, the minimum CPUs ae a Core i5-4460 or an AMD FX-6300, so something along these lines is likely to end up as the minimum requirements CPUs for Devil May Cry 5.
When it comes to the graphics card though, the changes between now and launch could be far more minor. 60fps is going to be fairly crucial in a fast-paced character action game like Devil May Cry 5, so the recommended spec GPUs should definitely be seen as targets. If performance is similar to RE7, a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390 may be required for a locked 60fps with no dips.

Loved this game, Completed at DevilHunter difficulty, quite challenging playing as V
PC Specs
do you guys think ill be alright running this game i have i5 8400 and gtx 1050ti
PC Specs
Yes, just lower the settings and you are going to be great if the requirements are to be believed.
PC Specs
feel free to run the game at high settings, played at high at 720p on my GTX 1050M. It is as optimised if not better like the previous ones
PC Specs
and my desktop with a i5 3470 and RX 570 ran this at 60 FPS on 1440p (using VSR)
PC Specs
Good requirements. Low-end CPUs and GPUs for both recommended and minimum, but I do need to upgrade my crappy ancient GPU... 7nm GPUs can't come out faster. :D
PC Specs
Navi is coming
PC Specs
I know and I hope it's good.
PC Specs
It would release before HL3
PC Specs
If it doesn't AMD would have gotten bankrupt infinite amount of times by then, if you know what I mean.
PC Specs
My FX6300 still chugging along :-)
PC Specs
Get a Ryzen, but I am glad you still have an FX, I had 8000 series before.
Was a blast.
PC Specs
He should wait for the Ryzen 3000 series. If they are as good as they are made out to be and they are configured and priced as rumored, the few months of wait is really worth it I would say, a 6 core/12 thread Ryzen 3 around 100$ and 8 core/16 thread ryzen 5 for around 200$ would be a much better deal than current gen ones.
PC Specs
He should go for a CPU that will give him 70-80% boost, a huge noticeable jump.
I am enjoying my 2700X well enough so I guess going for an 8 core/16 thread would be a good enough jump for him.
Granted Ryzen 3000 series will clock higher it is a good reason to get that as it also would be fast.
PC Specs
Yes that's the minimum for a good upgrade and it would be a great upgrade, but those 7nm Zen2 CPUs are worth a few months of waiting, especially if you want to get more powerful than current gen for the same price, or as powerful for a lower price. They will also have better single-core performance thanks to 7nm's higher clock speeds alone, let alone the rumored 17% IPC improvement.
PC Specs
Even a 6-core Ryzen is a huge upgrade. Those FX CPUs really weren't that great.
PC Specs
I said that it is, but I also said that a Zen2 Ryzen 6 core is worth the wait and a better buy than current 6 core Zen/Zen+ Ryzen CPUs.
PC Specs
Just one problem....funds, I need a new mobo and cpu:-(
PC Specs
Don't sweat it, you will get it eventually.
PC Specs
Lmao no sweat, my PC will take care of it.
PC Specs
scared for a moment but i think i'll be okay
PC Specs
Damn I'm rocking the i7-3770k oc to 4.2 and it looks like I might not be playing this one lol
PC Specs
games need cores and speed not specific cpus lol a 2500k will run this game
PC Specs
cores and speed is not much info, my frend have fx6100 which have 6C 6T and is overclocked to 4,2GHz yet he have lower perfomance then my i5 6600k with his 4C 4T and is stock clocket to 3,5GHz i dont understand thos thing much but still i see perfomance difference
PC Specs
not all cores are created equal. generalized comments like that show a lack of understanding of how a cpu actually works.
PC Specs
@Maximuspop
Ok do this, get a Pentium 4 then get an i7 8700k, disable all but one core on the 8700k(make it a single core) and clock them equally let's say at 3Ghz. The 8700k would be about 4-5.35x times faster. Why? Well, it has a higher IPC, lower CPI, better instruction set, lower latencies, much better branch prediction, much better branch prediction penalty, it has much better and more FPUs and ALUs...
PC Specs
I was talking about cpu requirements not needing a SPECIFIC cpu to run a game. Thanks for the lesson
PC Specs
on that end, you'd still be wrong. a game needing a modern quad core is going to struggle, if it can run at all with a core2quad (like this game).
PC Specs
No probs, glad to help, but you are still wrong.
You don't need a specific, specific CPU, but what they mean by giving a specific CPU is that you need a CPU that has a combination of IPC, CPI and clock speeds and, core count, equally as good as the specified CPU. Now since there is only AMD and intel, your choices are limited.
Also, many developers don't spend tons of hours testing 1000s of system configurations, just run in on 4-5 systems they have available and that's it... that's why requirements are rarely accurate, usually NOT even accurate Enough.
PC Specs
I believe that even my friends i5 3350P will do just fine.
PC Specs
Sad situation of unoptimization. Why do they do stuff like this? With such beefy requirements, gamers are discouraged from buying these games as they won't be able to get decent performance from this title. Gamers will just wait to buy this game when they have the money to afford upgrading their rig.
And then these game devs will cry out that their game didn't sell well in the release window which is the hottest windoow for game sales.
PC Specs
tweak your game first you lazy bones!

I bet my FX heater can run it on medium to high.
PC Specs
HAHAHHA "my FX heater"... My FX heater ran RE7 just fine so...
:)
PC Specs
i can already start saying goodbay to 1200p and welcome good old 720p
PC Specs
No way man.
You're still good, for at least 2 years.
PC Specs
well i am not sure, considering how requirments move fast + if this is true and mid range i7 is minimum
PC Specs
That CPU is fine for that GPU, tho i think that cpu Will be only good for 2 or 3 years more, and have to upgrade completely your mobo, and cpu to upgrade to a more powerful GPU.
PC Specs
When you decide to upgrade I'd advise to go with AMD. They're making some killer CPU's + their mobos are better, in the sense that they'll support several generations of CPU's.
PC Specs
i agree about cpu but i dont see AMD beating Nvidia in perfomance so utill that change i will stick with them
PC Specs
The price performance is definitely on AMD's side. Right now I'd say AMD's CPU's are highly competitive with Intel's. If it turns out that AMD's new CPU's will be made on the 7nm die they'll overtake Intel in performance and leave them in the dust.
PC Specs
Hi, you shouldn't have no problem at all to run this game at 1080p and all next games in an year. I know market of electric components go really fast now, but games still take time to design, so they work with your graphic card right now (not really the 2080, because it just get out)
Your processor is perfect for gaming either and you can overclock it so easily to 4.5GHz if it's not done already.
PC Specs
not sure that my mobo and psu can handle overclock
PC Specs
Damn your right, I just see your motherboard in your profile and you can't really overclock with it. but your psu will be good enough for an overclock at 4.5GHz with a cpu Vcore at +/- 1.3 . I take in consideration all your components and you will pull 510W in load. So for now your 6600k is not very useful and you should take a 6600 instead with this motherboard.You still have a nice pc :)
PC Specs
yes we are indeed @#$%ed.
PC Specs
Cpu requirements are almost always overrated i mean what's the difference between an i7 and i5 in a game that only support 4cores and how the hell is i5 4th gen equal to an amd fx
PC Specs
Hardware CEO 1: OMG OMG OMG nobody is buying new CPUs, what are we going to do !!!
Hardware CEO 2: Oh i know, lets call capcom and others a like... they will know what to do :D
Hardware CEO 1: You are absolutely right dude... ayy lmao lol rekt
Capcom: Devil May Cry 5
Minimum System Requirements:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 2.8 GHz
You need this so dreadnuvo can infect your pc optimally at 60FPS, OBEY AND CONSUME YOU ZOMBIES evil laughter
PC Specs
RE Engine is fairly easy to run, even RE7 can run 60fps on a standard PS4. I wouldn't be surprised if these minimum/recomended specs will also reflects to upcoming Resident Evil 2.
PC Specs
Those system requirements will not remain the same when the game comes out, especially the CPU.
PC Specs
Either there is an error, or CAPCOM is assuming that the game should be played at 60FPS regardless of the resolution... Which is not absurd since it is a frantic Hack N Slash game where fluidity is very important.
EDIT: But I still find these CPU requirements exaggerated.
PC Specs
Seems like a placeholder to me.
