Recommended system requirements

In gaming, recommended system requirements are system specifications outlined by the developer as being of the computational power required for the game to run at both optimal speed and optimal quality, although this is widely open to interpretation, and mileage may vary between players depending on exact software configurations.

Where a gaming article lists both minimum and recommended specifications, the recommended specifications are only listed is they differ from the minimum specifications for that category, and developers can and do duplicate text on certain platforms, such as Steam.
