Rather than let us laymen fiddle about with the settings, publisher Ubisoft has just spelt it out for us for a range of different hardware, meaning that those running older and budget hardware should still get a good experience.

Before you run out and buy it though, check out our review round-up to see if padding around Pandora is actually worth your machine's computational time.

Whether or not it's your cup of tea, there's no denying that developer Massive Entertainment has done an outstanding job in recreating the world of Pandora in its propriety Snowdrop engine which was first used in Tom Clancy's The Division.

But that's enough from us. On to the specs!
