My PC specs

[BREAD]

thought maybe instead of asking for the game to be released or complain i thought i might add my pc specs that i was playing the open beta on so that other people might find it useful for pc compatibility

ryzen 5 4600h 6 cores 12 processors
gtx 1650 4gb of vram
64gb of ddr4 laptop ram @2667mhz
on a hp pavilion gaming laptop

at 1920 x 1080 all low settings the game would hover just above 60fps for me

i normally play on 1280x720 with everything turned low and with those settings i saw just under 110fps in all scenarios even when the buildings are crumbling down around me the fps never went below 67 fps

both gpu and cpu was at around 70-80% usage while playing
tempatures were around 50c-60c for each

i had a wonderful experience playing on these specs so i hope anyone who has better or similar will find this game at release very playable! my roommates were also playing on the ps5 and the xbox respectively and they look amazing graphically! input latency was very good they had also mentioned! when queued together voip worked perfectly for us!

hopefully this helps the developers out even just a little

For some reason when you open the task manager it shows the cpu at 100% but the gpu is actually doing the work, weird

Rtx 2070 super btw

performance was pretty decent all things considered

with a mixture of high and epic settings,1080p with AMD FSR on quality
i was getting around 80-90fps on a gtx 1070 and i5 8600k @ 4.6ghz

i did notice that the game is far more cpu bound as i was always at 100% cpu usage
and like 70-80% gpu. My system isn't exactly high end anymore
but it ran the game pretty well.

From my understanding, This helps for better comparability to reach more players as many GPUs max out at 4gb vram and might not meet the minimal requirements, the work load is offloaded and balanced onto the cpu. This also raises the Frames Pre Second (FPS), and this is desirable for competitive gaming where they want to max out the FPS, some will even play on lower graphic settings to get that result.

This is a good direction for the gaming industry, rather than steadily increasing the requirements every year till pricing out the consumers. Looking at Alan wake 2 minimal requirements that was released recently in the past week its 6gb vram, 16gb ram, 90gb SSD (not HDD), which is pretty steep for the average consumer who don't have dedicated gaming machines that they can afford to update every few years, not to mention the recommend and ultra requirements are much higher. So it makes sense to have reasonable system requirements to gain a larger player-base.

Is your card overheating? You should be getting a little more fps than that. There are a lot of optimizations you can do to get that fps higher, Although non of it will make a difference if its thermal throttling in the first place.

Dusting off the coolers may help to some degree. Depending on how old your PC is, the best way to go about getting the most out of you system is to apply new thermal paste on your GPU and CPU. That requires you taking apart your computer and its components. The CPU is easy to do. I would check your thermals and report back. MSI Afterburner has a great for looking at that.
