On June 2nd Tekken enters the ring on PC for the first time in its 22 year history, with the launch of the Unreal Engine 4-powered Tekken 7. Featuring sublime graphics, spectacular effects, and high-fidelity textures, Tekken 7 on PC is a real treat. And if you have a high-performing PC you can crank the resolution up to 4K for the best possible experience, as demonstrated in the video below:
To run Tekken 7 at 4K at this level of detail, at a constant 60 FPS, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is required. If your system doesn't sport the world's fastest gaming GPU, don't despair: Anti-Aliasing, Effects, Shadows, Post-Process Effects, and Motion Blur can all be dialed back to give your system enough frames for an excellent experience. Or you can try the "Dynamic Adjustment" setting, which will dynamically raise and lower the quality of settings as you play to ensure a smooth, consistent 60 FPS is achieved.
For other resolutions, such as the commonly-used 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the GeForce GTX 1060 is recommended by Bandai Namco:
Tekken 7 Minimum System Requirements
- CPU: Intel Core Intel Core i3-4160 @ 3.60GHz or equivalent
- GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or 750 Ti, or equivalent
- RAM: 6GB
- OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
- HDD: 60GB free space
- DirectX: Version 11
Tekken 7 Recommended System Requirements
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5 GHz or equivalent
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1060, or equivalent, or higher
- RAM: 8GB
- OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
- HDD: 60GB free space
- DirectX: Version 11
This recommendation is backed-up by our own testing, which shows the GeForce GTX 1060 maintaining a rock-solid 60 FPS at max settings at both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. With the game being designed around 60 FPS gameplay, having a consistent level of performance is crucial, especially when playing against others online - low FPS and high frametimes will increase the time it takes for actions to be registered and displayed, and if your opponents aren't having those issues they'll have a significant advantage.
If you're ready to fight bears and pandas in the much-loved world of Tekken 7, along with a range of ninjas and other characters, get your fight sticks and controllers at the ready for its launch on June 2nd.
