Most Wanted system requirements

Need For Speed: Most Wanted's system requirements were made available today at EA's digital store, Origin, where you can also pre-order the game. These requirements are not final and they can still change, because the game is only meant to be released later this year, but they might give you a clue whether you will be able to run the game or not.

One important thing to note is that Windows XP is no longer supported. DirectX 9 is also off the list, as the game engine used, Frostbite 2.0, only supports DirectX 10 and DirectX 11.
