Here are your Metro 2033 PC specs

Ah, PC gaming, so complicated and treacherous. THQ has released the minimum, recommended and optimum specifications for the PC version of Metro 2033, the promising post-apocalyptic survival shooter that would be quite good provided they fix the ammo situation. 

The game has a lot of promise. A great atmosphere, interesting premise, and potentially great focus on survival as opposed to all-out combat. There are just a few aggravating issues, as my preview points out, getting in the way of all the fun. 

Anyway, the specs are after the jump. Look at them if you like numbers and funny words.

Minimum:

• Dual core CPU (any Core 2 Duo or better will do)
• DirectX 9, Shader Model 3 compliant graphics cards (GeForce 8800, GeForce GT220 and above)
• 1GB RAM

Recommended:

• DirectX 10 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 260 and above)
