Armored Core 6 system requirements: Intel Arc A770 recommended for ray tracing
Bandai Namco just shared new Armored Core 6 system requirements, and the publisher recommends using an Intel Arc GPU for ray tracing. While we’ll need to run some benchmarks for ourselves to see how the Alchemist GPU fairs running FromSoftware’s mech romp, I’m pleased to see developers acknowledge the Alchemist GPUs existence.
It’s worth noting that while you’ll be able to enable Armored Core 6 ray tracing using your gaming PC, it’s only available in the garage area. That’s the place where you’ll be putting together your mech, so you won’t necessarily need the best graphics card throughout the entire experience. That said, the only difference between the new ray tracing recommendations and standard PC specs is with the GPU side of things, so let’s go over the other parts you’ll need to run Armored Core 6 first.
If you’re not too fussed about trying to boost fps, you’ll be pleased to know that Armored Core 6 minimum PC requirements include a healthy collection of older processors. Namely, Bandai Namco says you’ll be able to fire up your mecha using either an Intel Core i7-4790K, Intel Core i5-8400, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, or AMD Ryzen 5 2600. For context the Core i7-4790K is a chip that arrived way back in 2014, meaning the game probably isn’t fussed about using the best CPU for gaming.
Recommended specs don’t really ramp things up on the processor front either, as the developers list, as the newest chip suggested (the 10th gen i5-10400) arrived in 2020. I’m hesitant to say any old CPU will do, but if your rig has anything remotely new at its core, you should be good to go.
As for RAM, you’ll apparently need 12GB regardless of settings, and that could be an issue for you big robot fans out there armed with an older gaming
