007 First Light requires an SSD and 80 GB; IOI now publishes five PC tiers from 1080p/30 Low through a DLSS-assisted 4K/200+ Ultra target.
007 First Light requires an SSD and 80 GB of available storage on PC. IO Interactive publishes five targets: 1080p/30 Low, 1080p/60 Medium, 1440p/60 High, 4K/60 High, and a DLSS 4.5-assisted 4K/200+ Ultra tier. These are official targets, not our own benchmark measurements.
| Official tier | Target and preset | CPU | GPU | RAM / minimum VRAM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 1080p, 30 FPS, Low | Core i5-9500 / Ryzen 5 3500 | GTX 1660 / RX 5700 | 16 GB / 6 GB |
| Recommended | 1080p, 60 FPS, Medium | Core i5-13500 / Ryzen 5 7600 | RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT | 16 GB / 8 GB |
| Enthusiast 1440p | 1440p, 60 FPS, High | Core i5-13500 / Ryzen 5 7600 | RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT | 16 GB / 12 GB |
| Enthusiast 4K | 4K, 60 FPS, High | Core i5-13500 / Ryzen 5 7600 | RTX 4080 / RX 7900 XTX | 16 GB / 16 GB |
| Ultra | 4K, 200+ FPS with DLSS 4.5, Ultra | Core i5-13600K / Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 5080 | 32 GB / 16 GB |
All tiers require Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an SSD, and at least 80 GB free. IOI says DLSS is not enabled for the Minimum, Recommended, or Enthusiast targets; the 200+ FPS Ultra figure explicitly depends on DLSS 4.5. A machine can meet the named parts and still differ through laptop power limits, thermals, drivers, or background software.
Current PC feature boundary
IOI lists an uncapped frame rate, DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and Super Resolution, Path Tracing with DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and expanded PC customization. Path Tracing is marked coming summer 2026 in the current FAQ, so do not assume it is active until the installed game version and patch notes confirm it.
Keep more than exactly 80 GB free so patches and temporary installation files have room. Because the SSD is explicitly required, an old hard drive should not be treated as equivalent simply because it has enough capacity.
For the current device list and Switch 2 status, use release date and platforms. Return to 007 First Light for the full dossier.
