system requirements are not always reflected from direct testing but rather sometimes what they would do is use few sample systems and do a rough calculation for other systems. It is practically impossible to test every single PC configuration in existence.

that doesn't explain that on the same engine the 2 previous games have a 2 gpu generation gap between minimum and recommended, while elden ring has 0.

The minimum is an RX580 4GB, which is about the equivalent of an R9 290x which was a high end card like a decade ago.

I thought they were about High in most games. Also that minimum 1060 is walmart level of 3GB and not the 6GB

Well there's no standard to what a developer decides is min or rec specs. Really depends on how honest they want to be.

Recommended in DS3 and Sekiro you can do 1080p60 all maxed out.

Recommended for Elden Ring is ok. Minimum is strange, but it may simply mean PC version will not downgrade too much to be possible to run it with PS4 like graphics.

I'm fine on video card but not CPU as I'm on a BE AMD FX8350 overclocked to the moon with overclocked RAM. As long as they don't use any features on the I series and Ryzen that require those specific models and don't soft lock it on detection it should be fine. As in those requirements are don't go under this but it will still run kind of thing.

I haven't been able to upgrade b/c of the prices and pandemic. I can probably build a new Ryzen system now and keep most of my parts except RAM, mobo and CPU obviously. Those are the main 3 I need. I have a new case, 1000 watt Antec and tons of drives and peripherals of all types. I'll also need an SSD or two but not right off the bat. Prices are just too high right now and my games run fine at 1080 which is all my display can do anyways. I stopped playing the keep up with tech game long long ago. It is a zero sum game and you never win. So I build something that lasts 5 or 6 years and move on. It just so happens my rebuild window fell right in the middle of a chip shortage and pandemic. What are you gonna do right?
