System Requirements | Client Jobs - Vittori Thief Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Thief in the version for PC has unusually high system requirements, which cannot be fully justified by the way the game looks. The optimization of the game also leaves much to wish for (it was slightly improved with consecutive updates) and this may seem strange, considering the fact that the game was developed by Nixxes (which also developed the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution). It seems that, the element that has the most bearing on the efficiency of the game is the available VRAM. The game seems to have problems working at some points, even if you decide to bring down the amount of details and quality of textures. The game comes with benchmark, which allows you to adjust the graphics settings to the computer that you are playing on. Thief for PC does not require internet connection and it does not have the multiplayer mode. The only form of competing against the other players is publishing the score achieved on the challenge maps.
