Is your PC ready for NASCAR Heat 5?

NASCAR Heat 5 is due to launch on Steam on July 5th, offering PC gamers the official 2020 Nascar Cup Series experience, offering players all official tracks, teams, drivers from the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series and the Xtreme Dirt Tour. 

Strangely, this PC game Steam page says that NASCAR Heat 5 will require a controller to play, stating that keyboard/mouse play isn’t officially supported. At this time official wheel support hasn’t been confirmed, which is strange for a racing game. 

Like other entries in the NASCAR Heat series, NASCAR Heat 5 is scalable across a wide range of PC hardware configurations, from ancient configurations with graphics cards like Nvidia’s GTX 460 and modern systems with Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti. 

NASCAR Heat 5 will require 18GB of system storage, a DirectX 11 compliant graphics card, at least 4GB of system memory, and a processor that’s greater than an AMD FX-4100 or an Intel i3-530. 

704Games Company, the creators of NASCAR Heat 5, recommends at least 8GB of system memory, six-core processors like Intel’s i5-9600K and AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600X, and graphics cards like AMD’s Radeon RX 590 and Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1660 Ti. Windows 7, 8 and 10 are officially supported, though Windows 10 is recommended.
