Electronic Arts and Bioware have today released the specs for the PC version of Mass Effect Andromeda, which is a good thing, as all the images in this post are from the version of the game on PC running at 4K. The images today were captured direct from builds running Nvidia cards, with no photoshopping, you can of course use AMD cards if you wanted to.

For playing Mass Effect: Andromeda on PC, here’s what BioWare and Electronic Arts recommend for Minimum settings at 1280x720, and High settings at 1920x1080:
