But at what cost? Here are the official PC specs required to run Monster Energy Supercross 3.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 3 Minimum System Requirements

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 3 Recommended System Requirements

• RAM: 16 GB System Memory

I've got no idea just what changes go underneath the hood between each edition of Monster Energy Supercross but the third game in series certainly shows an evolution in terms of system specs. You'll actually need a fairly meaty system in order to meet the recommended specs for Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 3, including a rock-solid 4 or 8-core CPU and a mid-range GPU with at least 6GB VRAM. The suggested graphics cards are either the ever-reliable GeForce GTX 1060 6GB of the Radeon RX 480 8GB. An enhanced ground and in-air physics model may also put a considerable load on the CPU during high player-count races.

If cranking the graphics sliders all the way to the right isn't a top priority for you then the entry-level specs are far more reasonable. Taking a look at the min reqs you will require a Radeon R9 370X graphics card with a Core i5-4460 3.2GHz or APU A10-7850K Quad-Core processor to reach the minimum Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 3 specs, run on low graphics setting and 720p screen resolution. To be able to run at all you will need at least 8 GB system memory.
