007 First Light: No Path Tracing at Launch – Full PC Requirements for All Native Resolutions

IO Interactive has shared the final PC system requirements for 007 First Light. These PC requirements are for Native 1080p, Native 1440p, and Native 4K. As such, they should please a lot of people who were really frustrated by the PC requirements of games like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.

For running the game at 1080p/30FPS with Low Settings, you will need an Intel Core i5 9500 or an AMD Ryzen 5 3500 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or an AMD Radeon RX 5700.

To run the game at 1080p/60FPS with Medium Settings, you will need an Intel Core i5 13500 or an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 6700XT.

For gaming at 1440p/60FPS, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 or an AMD Radeon RX 7800XT. The CPU and RAM requirements remain the same.

If you want to game at Native 4K/60FPS with High Settings, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or an AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX. Once again, the CPU and RAM requirements remain the same.

As I said, the above PC requirements are for Native 1080p, Native 1440p, and Native 4K. Now, for the Ultra PC Requirements, IO Interactive has included NVIDIA DLSS 4.5.

So, for Ultra Settings at 4K, you will need an Intel Core i5 13600K or an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080.

What’s interesting here is that the devs have listed Path Tracing and Ray Reconstruction as technologies that will not be available at launch. Instead, they will come via a free update in Summer 2026. So, that’s a bummer for those who wanted to play the game with Path Tracing.

IO Interactive will release 007 First Light on May 27th.

Stay tuned for more!
