Is your PC up-to-snuff, Spartans?
Halo Infinite is now available — or at least the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta is. But just how powerful of a PC do you need to play Halo Infinite, anyway? Microsoft and 343 Industries have answered that question by revealing Halo Infinite's full PC specs to the public. Here's what you need to know, including what the minimum and recommended specs for Halo Infinite are, and how you can check if your PC meet these requirements easily.
What are the PC and system requirements for Halo Infinite?
Halo Infinite's minimum requirements are fairly accessible for most players since they're not too demanding. With that said, more powerful hardware never hurts to have, especially if you want to push for a sky-high framerate on one of the best PC gaming monitors available.
Here's what 343 Industries lists as the minimum required specs for Halo Infinite:
- OS: Windows 10 RS5 x64 or newer
- CPU: Intel i5-4440 or AMD 5 1600
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 570
- RAM: 8GB
- Storage: 50GB (30GB for just multiplayer)
With this hardware, you'll be able to play Halo Infinite with decent visuals and an acceptable framerate. However, you're going to need beefier specs if you want to enjoy the game on higher settings with smoother FPS.
Here's what the developers list as recommended specs for Halo Infinite:
- OS: Windows 10 19H2 x64
- CPU: Intel i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 50GB (30GB for just multiplayer)
These specs will give you the power you need to play Halo Infinite at high settings with buttery smooth framerates, although it's worth noting that many of these components (particularly the GPUs) are hard to come by right now. If your specs don't match or surpass these recommended ones, you may want to turn some settings down.
Can my PC run Halo Infinite?
If you're unsure whether or not your PC meets the minimum or recommended specs listed above, don't worry — there's an easy way to check. All you need to do is do a quick analysis with the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, which allows you to review what hardware you've got installed in your system with just a few clicks. Here's how to use it.
- Click the Windows button on your taskbar.
- Type dxdiag.
- Click dxdiag in the search results. Windows will then show your PC specifications.
- Navigate to the System tab for details on your processor, memory, and Windows version.
- Navigate to Display tab for details on your graphics hardware and video memory (VRAM).
