There's no question that Saints Row: The Third is going to be a bit out there. Don't believe us? That right there is the sanest screenshot we could find after nearly an hour of searching. Thankfully, it looks like the system requirements for the PC version won't be quite as crazy as everything else in the game, despite support for some pretty hefty technical features.
THQ has announced that the PC release of Saints Row: The Third will offer tweakable settings for real-time reflections, advanced depth of field and ambient occlusion, and it'll also support advanced features like SLI, Crossfire, AMD Eyefinity.
Even with all that in mind, the minimum specs are still reasonable for anyone who's updated their system in the last few years, and even the recommended hardware isn't too steep. Take a look for yourself.
