To play Halo: The Master Chief Collection, your PC needs at least an Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-4100 processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 or AMD Radeon R7 360 graphics card, and 8 GB of RAM. If your PC doesn't meet these minimum specs, you may experience performance issues or be unable to run the game.
What GPU do I need for Halo: The Master Chief Collection?
The minimum GPU required is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 or AMD Radeon R7 360. For recommended settings, you'll want an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 or AMD Radeon R9 290X.
How much RAM does Halo: The Master Chief Collection need?
Halo: The Master Chief Collection requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. While the recommended specs also list 8 GB, having more RAM can improve performance, especially if you are running other applications in the background.
Will Halo: The Master Chief Collection run on integrated graphics?
It is unlikely that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will run well, or at all, on integrated graphics. The minimum GPU requirements are fairly demanding, and integrated graphics solutions typically don't meet those performance levels. You'll likely experience significant performance issues and graphical glitches.

The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs (Intel Core i7-3770/AMD FX-8350, GTX 980/R9 290X), you should be able to run the game on high or ultra settings at 1080p.

Experiment with individual settings like shadow quality and texture filtering to find what works best for your system.
