The release of Mad Max [Steam, Feral Interactive] for Linux is fast approaching this week (20th!) and Feral have now updated their website with the minimum and recommended system specifications.

System requirements
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit / SteamOS 2.0

Minimum
Intel i5 3.4 GHz or AMD FX8350 64-bit processor
8GB RAM
2GB Nvidia 660ti graphics card or better (driver version 367.35)

Recommended
Intel i7 64-bit 3.6 GHz processor
16GB RAM
4GB Nvidia 970 graphics card or better (driver version 367.35)

AMD & Intel GPU's are not currently supported. Since Mesa has made amazing progress this year, I am hoping it won't be too long before they can be pushed up to supported status. The most likely reasoning is that the current stable release of Mesa probably doesn't have high enough OpenGL version support.

How do you think your PC is going to handle Mad Max? Looks like the Recommended requirements are pretty high this time which is a sign that Feral is preparing us for a heavy game.

Will you be picking up a copy? I will hopefully do a livestream of the game once it has released, so keep an eye on our Twitch channel. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: UnshraNow all I need is for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" to be officially announced. ;)

That is my current fondest hope for games on Linux. I loved the first 2 and really want to play the 3rd but I just cant bring myself to boot windows. At this rate I will play it on WINE when it finally supports DX11 !

Really looking forward to this game.

My specs are good as I have a 1070, however I may need to apply an overclock to my i7 4770k cpu as I am currently runnning it at stock. I have 16GB of ram but could bump this to 32GB if needed as I aquired a 32GB kit to use in 2 machines.

Cant wait to finally put some stress my pc, lol.

Going by those specs, you will be mostly fine.

The original Windows version required an i5 650, 3.2 GHz. My i5 3350P 3.1 GHz plays it wonderfully and never drops below 60 FPS. I don't know why they dropped the numerical designation and only list the clock speed, which is really not that helpful.

Quite high but the game is pretty. It's a buy.

Quoting: GuestWonder if I'll be able to play this at 60FPS+ at 4K with some graphics options lowered...probably not though! :D
I could max out the game in 4k with a 770 at 60fps with windows. I don't know what configuration you've but if the port is good it wouldn't be so difficult :D

Quoting: skinnyrafZOTAC Steam Machine is equipped with a 2.2 (2.8 turbo) GHz i5-6400t CPU, thus fails to meet minimum requirements.
Still, requirements are generalizations and clock speed isn't everything.

My rig IS the required minimum. fx8350, GTX 660ti. Except I have 16 Gigs of Ram. I will definitely give this a try and report my findings.

I purchased Mad Max for the PS4 ages ago - one of the few console games I own, although did not get around to completing it. I'll almost certainly pick this port up as well, but I'll be wait for reviews, confirmed Mesa compatibility with AMD cards, and probably a sale.
