If you've seen a trailer for Total War: Shogun 2 then you can tell it has some nicely detailed graphics.  Having hundreds of high res units fighting each other at once with a detailed environment, and weather effects can run havoc on a PC.  If you were wondering what the system requirements are for Total War: Shogun 2 you're in luck.  SEGA announced the required and recommended PC specs for it.

 Minimum Specs (Required for playing Total War: Shogun 2):

-       2 GHz Intel Dual Core processor / 2.6 GHz Intel Single Core processor , or AMD equivalent (with SSE2)
-       1GB RAM (XP), 2GB RAM (Vista / Windows7)
-       256 MB DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card (shader model 3)
-       1024x768 minimum screen resolution
-       20GB free hard disk space

Recommended Specs (Recommended for optimum game play of Total War: Shogun 2):

-       2nd Generation Intel® Core™i5 processor (or greater), or AMD equivalent
-       2GB RAM (XP), 4GB RAM (Vista / Windows7)
-       AMD Radeon HD 5000 and 6000 series graphics cards or equivalent DirectX 11 compatible graphics card
-       1280x1024 minimum screen resolution
-       20GB free hard disk space

The system requirements are pretty reasonable considering the scope of the game.  Most computers should be able to run it;  I have a 5 year old computer that could run it off of the minimum specs.  If you have a nice computer running it on the recommended and above you're in for a treat.  The graphics for this game are very impressive on high settings.  Check out this gameplay footage:



Total War: Shogun 2 has a release date for March 15, 2011.  I'll be doing a preview of the game as it gets closer to release, and possibly a review if I get a request for it.
