‘Metro: Last Light’ PC Specs Announced, Nvidia Titan Required

Deep Silver and 4A Games put out the PC requirements for their upcoming first-person shooter “Metro: Last Light.” While the game is able to run with minimum settings, users will need Nvidia’s GeForce Titan graphics card to get the most out of it.

The game itself is powered by 4A’s 4A Engine. The engine is designed to take full advantage of the latest PC hardware and DirectX 11 graphics cards. The 4A Engine also supports a host of NVIDIA features including NVIDIA PhysX and NVIDIA 3D Vision.

However, the fact that the Nvidia Titan GPU, which costs around $1000, is on minimum recommendation list is absurd and limiting.
