Since Bethesda revealed Rage 2 almost a year ago, PC players have been wondering what the system requirements will be to run the game without problems on PCs. In a frequently asked question style response posted on the Bethesda support website, Bethesda revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements needed to play Rage 2.
If you want to run Rage 2 without problems and without stuttering or drops in FPS, Bethesda Softworks recommends that you have an Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU with 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Vega 56 8GB graphics card .
If you have a limited budget and still want to play Rage 2, Bethesda says you should at least have an Intel Core i5-3570 or an AMD Ryzen 3 1300X CPU with 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 780 3GB or an AMD R9 280 3GB.
In both cases, you must have a 50 GB storage space available on your hard drive. As Bethesda is pushing for a relatively larger world in Rage 2 compared to the original, the game requires a lot of disk space.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Rage 2 is always an online game, but it will not require a constant Internet connection. According to Bethesda, players will only need a live connection to access live events and additional activities in the open world. Players can still play the base game without being connected to the Internet.
