Bulletstorm System Specs Revealed News

Epic Games has revealed the official system specifications for Bulletstorm over on the game's official forums, which indicate a fairly accessible title in terms of hardware demands but raise questions over how specifically the game has been tuned to the PC platform.

Judging from the recommended specs below, Bulletstorm won't be taking advantage of any DirectX 11 features for the PC version. Even DX 10 appears to be off the cards as DX 9.0c is listed as the recommended requirement despite the fact that the relevant graphics cards (NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 and ATI Radeon 4870) are DX 10 compliant.

As always, PC users will be able to run the game at higher resolutions than the console versions as long as they have graphics cards and monitors that support those resolutions but, in terms of graphical features, Bulletstorm for PC may well end up on a par with the console versions.
