System requirements Middle-earth: SoM Guide

Last update: 01 February 2017

The PC version of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has moderate system requirements. To start the PC version, you need an Intel Core i5-750 CPU, GeForce GTX 460 and a 64-bit operating system. If you want to set the details to the highest level, you are going to need a high-performance eight-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB RAM and, at least GeForce GTX 660 graphics card. For this walkthrough, we have been using the PlayStation 4 version and the quality of graphics, on the console, is comparable with the highest setting on the PC. During the game, there appeared occasional chopping, especially during heated fights with the orcs and while launching AoE attacks. There is no multiplayer mode in the Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and it concentrates on the single player campaign only. At this point, it is worth noting that it requires you to have access to the Internet, because it is required for one of the achievements in the game (avenging the death of another player).
