We’re close to the release of IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, and now, Amazon MGM, and the developer have announced a collaboration with NVIDIA GeForce. Per their press release, the collaboration is expected to enhance the PC experience for the game, which leads us to the logical next question: What are the 007 First Light PC Requirements?

That said, with computer prices (both for pre-built and by part) at all-time highs, determining whether you’ll be able to take advantage of this collaboration is a big question. Below you’ll find the PC requirements for 007 First Light , and also read why IO Interactive and Amazon MGM chose this collab.

What does the NVIDIA collaboration mean for 007 First Light?

007 First Light PC Requirements shared by IO Interactive

To start, the collaboration means that 007 First Light will use NVIDIA GeForce’s latest RTX technologies with a focus on bringing cinematic visuals to PC gamers. While the ever-increasing focus on fidelity may be turning some PCs into potatoes, for others, it’s bringing the cinematic experience that many have come to expect from anything around James Bond. According to the press release from IO, this process was developed in close collaboration with NVIDIA and has brought DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to the upcoming Bond title.

About this partnership, Ulas Karademir, CTO at IO Interactive, shared a comment to the press, “Our partnership with NVIDIA on 007 First Light allows us to deliver a PC experience that matches the level of quality we believe the Bond franchise deserves. Performance, responsiveness, and visual fidelity, it all needs to feel effortless for the player, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX technologies including DLSS 4 enables us to deliver exactly that.”
