  • AMD Radeon HD 5000 and 6000 series graphics cards or equivalent DirectX 11 compatible graphics card
  • 1280×1024 minimum screen resolution
  • 20GB free hard disk space

 

 

(my system is:smileyhappy:

I recommend you use this website that tell you if your notebook is capable of running any type of game you may want to play in this case shotgun 2. The website is http://www.canyourunit.com
