Minimum System Requirements for The Lord of the Rings Gollum Game


The Lord of the Rings: Gollum game is going to be here in just a few days. Along with early excitement, there has also been some chatter about the insanely high system requirements.

System Requirements

Here’s a quick rundown of the official system requirements (check if your rig is up to the task).MINIMUM:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10/11 Processor: Intel i7-4770 AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia RTX 3060 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8 GB) DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 45 GB available space Additional Notes: at Medium preset and 1080p, Ray Tracing off
RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10/11 Processor: Intel i3-6100 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Memory: 32 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia RTX 4070 (with DLSS Quality Setting) / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (16GB) DirectX: Version 12 Storage: 45 GB available space Additional Notes: at High preset and 1440p, Ray Tracing on
You can see why there has been a bit of a freak out. RTX 3060 is set as the bare minimum and a RTX 4070 is needed for being able to play the game at 1440p.These aren’t typical settings and might be due to developers grappling with porting games from new console hardware to PCs. Regardless, if you’ve got a low-spec PC, you might want to look for ways to max out the game until you get an upgrade.

The high specs seem to suggest the PC port might be pretty demanding for average pc specs and look like they’re more suited to streamers.Get ready to preload the game from May 23rd, and from May 25th you’ll be able to dive into Middle-earth on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
