Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown PC system requirements announced

Nacon and KT Racing have recently unveiled the official PC system requirements for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, slated for release on September 12th. Overall, the game looks relatively accessible for modern hardware, but a closer look at the notes might create some doubt regarding how well the game will run.

According to the developers, the minimum system requirements call for an Intel Core i7-7700K/AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU and 12GB of RAM. Additionally, players will need an Nvidia GTX 1660/AMD Radeon RX 480/Intel Arc A380 to achieve playable performance at 1080p with Low settings, but unlike what we're used to seeing, it's not native 1080p. Instead, the developer states that these specs are so the game can run at 1080p with the FSR 2 Ultra Performance preset enabled.

For a better experience, the developer recommends an Intel Core i7-11700K/AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080/AMD Radeon RX 6650. This configuration lets you play it at 1080p/Medium, offering a stable 60 fps using DLSS/FSR 2 Balanced. You can see additional details on the system requirements below:

MINIMUM:

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
  • Memory: 12 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 480, 8 GB or Intel Arc A380, 6 GB
  • Storage: 50 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD Mandatory / Low 1080p @ 30 FPS with FSR 2 Ultra Performance

RECOMMENDED:

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
  • Memory: 12 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, 8GB or AMD Radeon RX 6650, 8 GB
  • Storage: 50 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD Mandatory / Medium 1080p @ 60 FPS with DLSS or FSR 2 Balanced

Recently, the developer stated that the final game will have better graphics, lighting, physics, and sense of speed than its demo. This could be good, as the game will look better. However, it also might make the game more demanding on your hardware, which could justify the system requirements.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
