Do I have to update my hardware to be compatible to PB?

From AAManual

In general, no. However, PB does push your operating system far more than other programs. In case your PC is running close to the minimum specs of the game there could possibly be some issues, yes. There is no reason however to assume that this will be the case for everyone. And if you do have issues you are welcome to contact us and we'll see if it's possible to fix this in some way.
