System Requirements like 1400 Dollar PC for Minimum Graphics?

[Moonship]

So this is the first Game i cannot play with my 1200 Dollar PC because my Geforce RTx 2060 Super with 8 GB Ram isnt able to run it ?

The Devs have built a game for Rich people only cause they have the money they can milk or what ? is this photo realistic world scale game world with thousands players at the same time or what ?

Or are Devs just inable to optimize and build a game for average players who dont want to buy a new PC every 2 years.

I would like to test out the game but its requriments are way to high to enjoy.
I am sad.


EDIT:
After playing the game 10h + if can say it runs well on a 2060superrtx8gb but sadly theres not much to do after the houses are built. no economeny etc.
it looks very nice but due early acess theres not much content besides crafting and collecting ressources.

but hey its early acess and i will wait for further updates that maybe makes the game a good mmo in long terms,as the devs say this game is meant to be played for years :D

If you buy a PC today, as a gamer you are easily out 3k dollars.
Even if I had a 6 year old PC and upgraded it with a graphics card, I could still play PaxDei.
It is of course difficult for a normal gamer to buy a PC that is suitable for the end user and can be easily upgraded.
You don't need an absolute high-end card for a PC games with a 7 year old graphics card with certain problems but my card can still do it.
The more expensive a graphics card, the faster you have to replace it.

u can buy 3060 used for less couple hundred and u be fine(just check your PSU can handle it)

my pc can run red dead redemption 2 with more than 60 FPS in high settings. Pax Dei looks like a game from 2010 and still need a RTX2060 with 12 GB RAM for minimum Settings ?
Even Skyrim have more Details than this world ?! So i just think the Devs have builded a messy scripted game world that need a 4000 Dollar PC to run well. I dont get it why devs make such messy unoptimized Games theese days just to verify to buy a pricly new pc with " modern" hardware.

They are just not skilled and want to make big profit whith less coding quality efforts.
Sadly Pax Dei will only be for Hardcore like the Star Citizens Guys who paid more than 1000 for an alpha.

The Vision is good but the game will be boring lame open world with not a big community just because 80% of all gamers will not be able to run this game smoothly.

if you have 3000€ for a new pc thats ok,i am not a richkid and i love my PC . I can run every other game nicely in 60 fps in full hd or higher.

Why this game make this huge difference ? it looks like generic game with no hyper realistic graphic or physics,i dont get to the point why 12GB of VRAM are needed to play this in minimum because there is NOTHING we didnt have seen in other video games before.

It just seems like a big LIE to sell us stupdid useless new overpriced hardware every year again for games that looks not even better.

The problem is not the game is the engine it runs and the minimum for Unreal 5 is that...

The game will run in ur current pc the problem is when u have to render all houses from all players.

U can play single players of U5 on that pc but anything online game is going to be trouble they use so much they eat 4070 and start using CPU too... But like i said its the engine....

[Moonship]

so if devs using the unreal engine 5 fore online games like MMOs everyone have to buy an 800dollar graphics card ? that makes no good standpoint for a game that thousands if not million players should play. i would like to play but if i have to buy a graphic cards that uses more power than the entirely rest of my home i am out. you will get a power-bill of hundreds of dollar because your graphic cards eats power like my whole neighborhood on sundays.

[PBRStreetgang]

My friend played in the Alpha 2 with me with less video card that recommended, turning down the graphics a bit made it totally manageable.

well looks u bought the right Video card when u got that 2060... Like i said 3060 will get u a couple of years... And its not expensive and wont use that much power..

I do the same i always used to change for 70's now i use the 60's cheaper and last around the same than upper models... 4060 more powerfull or equal than the 2 prevous 80's models.

Engines used to take longer to change not sure if all this new AI and chip tech move that faster but used to take a long time.and changes were not that big that require that much hardware

I did a quick google and saw a used gaming machine matching the minspecs for 490e near me

[Sweets]

i got a laptop thats a 3060 but i doubt i be able run this game max

[Dreaming Prince]

yeah people making mmos in unity and unreal engine these days.. and those engines generally run like crap and have high requirements even in single player games. on the plus side i can use my pc to heat my house while playing them in the winter...

[Quokka]

I had a graphics card that was basically right on the min spec line. It ran the game okay, the frame rate was playable, but it did not look very good.

So I went to PC Parts Picker, entered my motherboard, and figured out what my options were for a new video card. You should be able to upgrade for a couple of hundred.

[Jake From State Farm]

This is the next gen in gaming. The specs are going up. People who have 7 year old GFX cards shouldn't be complaining. It is time to upgrade. A lot of the new games are coming out with these sort of specs. It was bound to happen.

Wait , so you have not even tried the game? Tell me what has changed from say 20 years ago? There were games out not everybodies machine could run, weren't there? If it bothers you when it comes to PC then console may be for you ,because everybody gets the same configuration of hardware and devs have to make sure it runs in the range of certain parameters ,if they can't fit consoles capability, they dumb the game down graphically and,if they further cannot achieve at least 30 FPS , it won't be a console game at all. PC has a vast amount of possible configurations, some can afford $500 PC only and some can afford $5000 and beyond, you can't expect to run a modern game that is also meant to satisfy PC enthusiast with $500 PC the same way $5000 machine could, you will have to dumb down the graphics settings which is a beauty for PC Gamers out there. If your PC is below console spec, don't expect miracles.

2060 super is over 5 years old, you are talking about an entry level card from 3 generations ago and wondering why it isn't good enough?

Time flies, needs are going to advance. Its only a few hundred to upgrade your GPU for a massive performance gain.

I would look up a performance per dollar site, I forget which one, but google is free, likely something like the 3060ti will be more than enough
