The exciting return of 90s first-person shooter Delta Force is nearing, with a new beta for the game just around the corner. If you’re unsure if your gaming PC can meet the Delta Force system requirements, though, you’ll be happy to know they’re quite low, if you can excuse oddly high RAM demands.
You won’t need the best graphics card to play Delta Force during its upcoming December 5 Delta Force beta window, but the official system requirements could increase following the conclusion of this beta period, particularly its recommended specs.
Here are the Delta Force system requirements:
Minimum | Recommended | |
OS | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later |
GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 AMD Radeon R9 380 Intel Arc A380 |
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX5500 XT Intel Arc A580 |
CPU | Intel Core i3-4150 AMD FX-6300 |
Intel Core i5-6500 AMD RYzen 5 1600X |
RAM | 12GB | 16GB |
Storage | 50GB | 50GB |
Take our Delta Force system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Delta Force?
The Delta Force minimum requirements are quite low for a modern 3D shooter considering the inclusion of nearly decade-old hardware. Just an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 380 graphics card is needed to meet the entry-level requirements, which even older mid-range laptops and PCs should have no issues meeting.
Likewise, the 2017 Intel Core i3-4150 CPU was hardly a top gaming processor even at the time of its release, let alone seven years later. The AMD FX-6300 is even older, having been released in 2012. For older machines, this is great news, as just about anything that boots should have no issues running the game.
But, there is one slight caveat, the RAM demand. Delta Force demands 12GB of RAM, which is an odd contrast to the otherwise incredibly low minimum requirements.
That said, considering the GPU and CPU requirements, there’s a good chance that 3,200MHz RAM will be able to run the game with just 8GB. I can’t guarantee it will work, but there’s every chance the developers are being overly cautious with their RAM recommendations for the beta period.
Interestingly, the Delta Force recommended specs are also incredibly low compared to what most other games demand at higher levels. The only outlier is the RAM, requiring 16GB to meet the recommended requirements, but this is hardly a hurdle for most modern gaming rigs.
Delta Force only needs an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX5500 XT graphics card to run well, and both, while a significant upgrade over the 960 and R9 380, are still dated cards.
It’s a similar jump up in the CPU power needed, although the demands are once again not going to be difficult for older gaming PCs and laptops to meet, with only an Intel i5-6500 needed to meet the developer’s recommendations.
The Delta Force download size is just 50GB, and doesn’t appear to need an SSD. However, to ensure the smoothest experience when downloading and playing the game, we always recommend having one of the best SSDs for gaming installed.
