Electronic Arts and Bioware have today released the specs for the PC version of Mass Effect Andromeda, which is a good thing, as all the images in this post are from the version of the game on PC running at 4K. The images today were captured direct from builds running Nvidia cards, with no photoshopping, you can of course use AMD cards if you wanted to.

For playing Mass Effect: Andromeda on PC, here’s what BioWare and Electronic Arts recommend for Minimum settings at 1280x720, and High settings at 1920x1080:

Mass Effect: Andromeda Minimum System Requirements For 1280x720

• CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 or AMD FX 6350
• GPU: GeForce GTX 660
• RAM: 8GB
• OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
• HDD: 55GB free space
• DirectX: Version 11

Mass Effect: Andromeda Recommended System Requirements For 1920x1080

• CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD FX 8350
• GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, or GeForce GTX 970

If you wish to crank those 16 options to their maximum levels, or run at higher resolutions with higher framerates, you’ll want to equip your system with a faster GPU, such as the GeForce GTX 1070, GeForce GTX 1080, or newly-announced GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
