Cries in GTX 1060
I’ve been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.
For me it’s the power usage. All the new graphics cards would almost double my power bill

Since they’re locking Consoles to 30 fps I’m worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.
If that’s the case I’ll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂
I won’t be getting it day1 as I have an RTX 30-series GPU that is half the performance of the minimum requirement, hopefully this is a case of them being overly cautious.
Damn, these are jacked specs. Literally just upgraded in January from my old ryzen 2600x and 1070ti combo to a 6700xt and ryzen 5600x. My new GPU doesn’t even meet the recommended specs wtf lol.
There’s no way those specs are right. Their games are notoriously CPU dependent, I refuse to believe a R5 3600 can get stable 60fps gameplay out of this engine but a 6700xt cannot.
But if they’re right, there’s gonna be a lot of complaints surrounding optimization around launch, and the 30fps BS on console will make a lot more sense.
Edit: In fact, your GPU does meet recommended spec, because it outperforms the “recommended” 2080 in every benchmark I’ve seen, and has 50% more VRAM. Ignore this garbage, wait for reviews.
Ssd required? Does it use direct storage?
I’m speculating using a physical hard drive will be a poorer user experience - ie: being slow to stream the world data causing pop in, texture loading issues etc
Nah I have a SSD with my rig running Windows 10. You’ll just have to switch your hard drive which can be kind of a pain
