Max Payne 3 System Requirements Explained
These requirements are awesome news for PC owners rather than bad.
Firstly, let me remind you that Max Payne 3 will be playable on consoles. A console\'s hardware is pretty similar to the Max Payne 3 minimum system requirements quoted above. Therefore if your machine is less than about 5 years old it will likely be more powerful than a current console. With the right graphic setting adjustments in game your system will be capable of delivering a better Max Payne 3 experience than you may expect from playing it on an ageing console.
Likewise, anyone getting close to the Max Payne 3 GD Adjusted requirements, listed above, will likely enjoy an excellent version of the game, providing the game is ported suitably (I am looking at you GTA IV).
Is your PC between minimum and GD adjusted requirements? Then consider it a sliding scale. At the bottom you have minimum system requirements which will be around a console standard (fairly blurry, low resolution and capped at 30FPS) and as your system reaches up the scale you will likely be able to turn on more graphical settings until you reach a very healthy experience at the GD adjusted requirements.
The maximum system requirements are basically the developers way of saying, the game will be able to utilise all hardware a PC has. This is great and gives purpose to super powerful PC gaming machines and by doing so strengthens the relevance of the PC gaming platform.
Finally, if in a years time you upgrade your PC to a beast of a machine and looking for a game to take your new baby through its paces, then you will know that Max Payne 3 will likely help you to validate your upgrade.
Nice!
