Specs for Minimal levels of performance in Tyranny

Most software developers publish system requirements, and while they're accurate, they can be difficult to interpret; not everyone's comfortable with the jargon employed and older components are often referred to long after they've left the market.

Here are current specs for pre-built machines capable of handling Tyranny.

Sadly, there are also no predefined standards for performance; some developers have very high standards while others can be a bit optimistic so your mileage may vary.

Ready-to-Order Systems Meeting these Specs Prices range from ∼ US$990 to US$1525, accessories included.

The following Systems meet the minimal system requirements set by Tyranny's developers. So it should run the game, but you might need to lower visual quality for an enjoyable experience.

Each product below was checked recently for rebates and availability from retailers located in Canada or which at least makes importing easy.
