After getting in touch with THQ we have the Space Marine system requirements so that you may plan any upgrades accordingly. This one shouldnt prove to be too resource heavy.

The 3rd person Sci-Fi shooter, Space Marine, releases in September 2011

Warhammer 40000 Space Marine Minimum System Requirements

OS: Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7
CPU: 2.0Ghz Dual core CPU (any Core 2 Duo or AMD X2 or better)
RAM: 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7)
GFX: 256MB Video Card using Shader Model 3 (Nvidia GeForce 8800GT, AMD Radeon 3850 and above)
Hard Drive: 20 GB space free (10 GB free after install)

[Minimum requirements are the bare minimum to get the game playing. In some cases you may even need to reduce the screen resolution.]

Warhammer 40000 Space Marine Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 7
CPU: Any Quad-core Intel or AMD Processor
RAM: 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7)
GFX: 512MB Video Card using Shader Model 3 (Nvidia GT100/200 series or better, AMD Radeon 5800 series or better)

[Recommended requirements are often listed as the system you would require to get the game running at a constantly good frame rate with graphical features turned up high (possibly to maximum and possibly on a large screen resolution etc). These can sometimes be expensive dream machines. However, you do not always need such a powerful machine to get the game to a playable and fun state. See below]

Game-Debate Requirements for Warhammer 40000 Space Marine
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8235 2.8Ghz or AMD Athlon II X2 260
RAM: 2GB
GFX: Nvidia GeForce GT 140 or AMD Radeon HD 6570

[Game-Debates Requirements are what we think you can get Space Marine running comfortably on. For example, you may not be able to turn anti-aliasing on but the game will still play and look just great at your standard resolution. We will adjust these requirements based on your feedback and they will power the system requirements tool on the game page]

Remember your feedback is always appreciated
