About Mafia II: Definitive Edition
Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a remastered crime story from Hangar 13 and D3T, set in the fictional American city of Empire Bay in the 1940s and 1950s. You play Vito Scaletta, a war veteran who joins the mob to pay off his family's debts and slowly rises through its ranks. Expect driving, shootouts and a strong story. It is single player and rated PEGI 18. The makers recommend a GTX 780 or R9 290X and 8 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.
What Mafia II: Definitive Edition needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, and to play it well the makers suggest an entry-level graphics card, with 8GB of memory.

Will my computer play Mafia II: Definitive Edition?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.
On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.
On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
