Dead Space 2 System Requirements

If your PC meets the minimum requirements (2.8 GHz processor, GeForce 6800/ATI X1600 Pro with 256MB VRAM, 1GB RAM for XP/2GB for Vista/7), you should be able to run Dead Space 2, but likely at lower settings and resolution. Performance may vary.

For minimum settings, you'll need at least an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or ATI X1600 Pro with 256 MB of VRAM. For better performance, an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT with 512 MB of VRAM is recommended.

Dead Space 2 requires 1 GB of RAM for Windows XP and 2 GB of RAM for Windows Vista or Windows 7. More RAM is always beneficial, especially if you're running other applications in the background.

Running Dead Space 2 on integrated graphics is not recommended. Integrated graphics solutions generally don't meet the minimum VRAM requirements (256MB) and lack the processing power for a smooth experience.

The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, try high settings. If you're closer to the minimum, start with low settings and gradually increase them until you find a balance between visual quality and performance. Pay attention to shadow quality and anti-aliasing, as these can significantly impact performance.
