Crysis 3 specs released

We knew Crysis 3 was going to ask for alot, but even I am impressed at this spec list. For starters, DirectX 11 support is a minimum, which means Windows XP isn't compatible. Also minimums are a 1GB graphics card and dual core CPU, with EA detailing Nvidia GTS 450 & Intel Core2 Duo 2.4Ghz (E6660) and AMD Radeon HD5770 & AMD Athlon 65 X2 2.7 Ghz (5200+) as example minimalist Intel and AMD setups respectively.
