Will this game run properly on 6GB videocards?

[Jean]

at the lowest graphic setting can a GTX 1660 6GB run this game at 30fps 1080p?

[CosmicD]

the latter part is very important, "recommended settings" seem to still assume that you run 1080. Anything higher, and "ultra" settings are going to result in some fps loss, depending on the generation of gpu/cpu you have, and what's also important nowadays for 4k gaming is a Nvme drive , especially in games where levels stream, and real time shader compilation happens. But nowadays games look very good on high 1080

A 4GB vram should run it no problems. Id say 8GB vram should run it at max settings no problem. However youll also need a good gpu at least RTX 2070 or Amd Rx 5700 for max settings 1080p.

The minimum and recommended Nvidia GPUs (GTX 1070 and RTX 2070 respectively) both have the same VRAM count (8GB). I would be surprised if there's no difference in the VRAM demand between lowest and higher settings so a 6GB GPU will probably be fine.

easy, 16 GB RAM probably needed though.

I wouldn't even worry about this card running smoothly at maxed settings for Dead Space, considering I also have this GPU (mine is the GTX 1660 Super version) with i7-10700KF and 16GB RAM and have been able to run games released within the past year even with recommended RTX 2060/2070 requirements at 60 FPS @ 1920x1080 at maxed graphics, like Scorn and Callisto Protocol. These kinds of linear, corridor shooters are not very resource-intensive on the PC.

You did a very accurate analysis i'd say.

I have the same GPU - ASUS ROG STRIX 1660 SUPER paired with a RYZEN 5 3600 and i can run games that released in the past 2 years without any sort of issues and that have higher recommended requirements.

Also very good point when you mentioned "linear corridor shooters" - those types of games aren't usually that demanding because of less stuff to render and the game world itself is smaller compared to the regular open world or sandbox type of games.

We'll be able to run Dead Space without issues i'd say at medium-high settings at 60 FPS and more OR probably a locked 60 FPS at HIGH settings.

The reason that I asked is because the minimum reqs asks for a GTX 1070, which is a 8GB GPU.

It does have 8 GB but strictly for a game to run on LOW graphics settings i don't think there are any games that require such a high amount of VRAM only for the LOW graphics preset.

There are plenty of games out there that run just fine on LOW even on 2-3 GB GPUs.

The game definetly won't need 8 GB for LOW - in fact it should run fine on HIGH or ULTRA on an 8 GB GPU.

Yeah well Capcom said we would need expensive brand new next gen hardware to run Village. In the event the expensive new hardware ran like crap but the older builds ran really well.

I don't have a good source for the claim but apparently AMD's GPUs utilise memory differently to Nvidia but it is generally supported by certain system requirements for other games that, in some cases, specifically state a higher VRAM count for AMD. So with that in mind, since the minimum here for AMD is also a 8GB GPU (RX 5700) that suggests that Nvidia GPUs with lower VRAM counts will be capable of running the game fine (assuming they have the performance).

From TechPowerUp's relative performance chart, the GTX 1660 Ti/Super are very similar in performance to the GTX 1070 (regular GTX 1660 is a bit lower) which suggests they chose the 1070 because it has 8GB. But, as I said in my other reply above, the 1070 and the recommended GPU (RTX 2070) having the same VRAM count makes me doubt the importance of the 1070's 8GB. Perhaps they wanted an older GPU in the minimum requirements... but then why pick a much more recent AMD GPU for the minimum?

These are very weird system requirements the more you analyse it. It is rarely accurate and only meant as a guide, not least because of commonly absent information like target quality settings, framerates and resolutions but they do generally follow a certain logic. Here it's almost like they were pulling choices out of a hat. :\

its runable, but expect loud noises from gpu and cpu fan to power up dead space remake

Hard to tell. Battlefield games in Frostbite engine run great on older hardware, but of course it is a matter of how the game is tweaked.
I think you will be in the green, but honestly just buy the game, try it out and if your hardware is not sufficient, refund it within 2 hours of game time.

And if you have problems run it in borderless window mode. No idea why but borderless window mode takes care of performance issues in older hardware.

[Eze]

Offensive question: will you sacrifice resolution for stable FPS and effects?

I do it all the time.

I thought windowed mode worsens performance.

Give it ago. Something to do with the aspect ratio on some screens.
