Left4Dead System Requirements: Revealed
godkow | 9:21 PM on 09.25.2008 21 comments


Le source.



In classic Valve tradition, the system requirements are quite low. My computer is definitely ready to kill some zombies, is yours?

*note: The right side of the picture is cut off for me. If it shows that way for you, it says:
"Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for pixel shader 2.0"

That's 1/4 of my Hard Drive space, but I can run this game! WOO!
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
My PC will dance around this game.
commish's Destructoid Blog
I can't wait to start pounding away at zombies!
Daxelman's Destructoid Blog
My Pc will lag this shit up, if TF2 is anything to count off of.

Though, I ran Portal moderately well, when I turned off all the bells and whistles.

ALL of them.

I laugh as my 360 needs no thing....right now.
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
Hmm, need some more RAM in my laptop, but other than that, I'm set.
DarkTravesty's Destructoid Blog
yay i can't play it :/ 360 it is for me then.
GeekSquad's Destructoid Blog
I can even play this on my laptop :) weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ChillyBilly's Destructoid Blog
Oh man, bring it on...

@ SHIN ONI

I laugh as the 360 guys will have to pay for content while the PC people get it for free.
Teta's Destructoid Blog
I can play TF2 perfectly.
But my processor is a 2.20 GHz fuuuuuuuck!!

@ vexed
assuming things is fun isn't it?
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
TF2 on 360 says hi.
scsitransfer's Destructoid Blog
@teta

is it a dual core though? it meant you need a 3ghz single core OR a dual core
Kinji's Destructoid Blog
hrmm... these look like the same recommended requirements for TF2.
Taken from TF2's steam page:
"Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection"

My PC runs TF2 really well, so this should be awesome.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
Hmmm... my processor is 2.5 ghz, but I got 2.5 gb RAM. Low settings? Maybe...
ajaxender's Destructoid Blog
Theyve gotten better at explaining what gfx cards can do, but i see now that processors are still pretty confusing...

The p4 series are sort of a benchmark for processor performance (why, i dont know, but what the hey). If a processors number (in its name) is say, 4000+ (like my old amd), it should perform roughly like a p4 processor at 4ghz.

That means that most (probably all available) dual core processors meet this requirement; in fact they exceed it by quite a lot. All but the cheapest/oldest are at least 6000, and i havent seen one less than 4000 for a long time.

I was interested to see that they require 256mb of graphics memory. Thats pretty standard these days for other engines, but most Source games are still fine with 128.

@Vexed Alex

oh STFU. you and all you steam fools....until I actually get a decent PC and money to customize.

Then we can all be zombies 4 life.
Cutie Honey's Destructoid Blog
Wait. 3.0?!? But my PC runs TF2 just fine.
Hope it's only 20/30 bucks on 360.
Ali D's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, the 3GHZ processor thing is a bit unclear, but my new rig runs TF2 like a dream so I imagine Left 4 Dead will run pretty well too. Bring it on, can't wait for this game.

I love you I have a dual core, I am now a happy guy.

 about me

Other Aliases: Oswoc, Ozwok, Zice, god.kow (plus any/all of those with '325' after them)

Steam ID: god_kow

Clan Affiliation: [SSNF] and our radical right wing [kssnf]

My favorite genre is generally shooters. RPGs are ok too (especially if they're free). I'm too dumb to figure out RTS games. Racing/Sports games are meh, unless something creative is done with them to make them awesome. If I wanted to play soccer, I would just go outside and do it. If I'm gonna game, I'm gonna blow people's heads off and cleanse the world of demons (things I can't/would never do in real life).

Consoles I Own (in no particular order): Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, mah shweet PC

Oh and I'm part Japanese. My friends seem to think that's awesome so maybe if you guys read this you'll think I'm awesome too. Seems like solid logic to me.

Main Games I'm Playing:
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
Left 4 Dead (PC)
I've also got the random urge to play Morrowind again as well.



BOOM HEADSHOT!! -FPS Doug
