Game requirements are always over exaggerated. I'm sure that it would run at 60fps 1080p high settings on every 9 series GPU and any quad-core or above released within the last 5-6 years
My PC will eat it alive, but I haven't been a fan of the newer NFS games with a story and everything. The best old school NFS was NFS3 Hot Pursuit on the PlayStation. No bullshit, no stereotypical stories, just pick a car and race.
