PC requirments

[FlacidSnake]

soo like many people after the pc requirements went live, looking to upgrade a few pieces or potentially get a new pc and adjust.

my pc is old and was built in 2018 but iv bought or had pieces given to me as gifts over the years and in need of some serious advice. i know my parts will be questionable but we work with what we can get. iv tried to use benchmark sites but some parts never seem to appear and in need of some answers from more knowledgeable people.

my pc:
CPU - i7-6700k
GPU - NVIDIA 4060 - (use to be 1050 ti when built)
HDD - is Samsung hd502IJ
External (ssd?) - Seagate 4TB expansion
RAM - 4 X 8G Corsair dominator platinum 2666mhz (was 2x8GB when built)
MB - Asus ROG maximus viii Hero (alpha - maybe)

i also have a xbox series x and legion go (for when i travel with work), with little to no info on console/game pass/PC cross progression its been tough to decide what platform to purchase on but with work travel, PC/legion has seemed like a no brainer.

Your processor is weaker by around 12% than the listed minimum processor to run the game.
GPU is good to go.
It would be a good idea to use SSD as main hard drive and install game on there as it is required in both minimum and recommended specs.
RAM is good to go and at recommended spec. Though upgrading to 32GB might be a good idea at some point.
Looking at motherboard, that will be where your weakest link is. You can't upgrade beyond 6th gen CPU. So you'll need something more recent.
Following motherboard, will be processor.
The game should run, but considering the game is going to be more processor heavy than GPU, i don't think you can expect much over 30-40 frames on low-medium

Can't offer advice on latter part with Xbox and Legion as I got no experience with that.

I was just writing up something like this...

1080p + 60 FPS + Ultra = 12700 & 3070
1440p + 60 FPS + Ultra = ???? & 3080?
2160p + 60 FPS + Ultra = ???? & 4090?

It does have FSR 3.1 so upscaling and Frame generation.

Yesterday I just discovered the same problem, and I am using the same CPU, and very similar MB (Asus Maximus VIII Extreme).

According the the ASUS support page, these MBs will support up to an I7-7700, which isn't an upgrade worth doing. I do wonder if it will accept a CPU that is higher spec, but don't want to take any chances...

I'm predicting our computers will run the game, most games actually run pretty well even on less than the minimum listed specs. But I do wonder if I'll run the arse out of my CPU playing it.

This is a DDR4 MB, so you have two choices. If you want to be cost effective, buy a newer DDR4 MB with a better CPU, and move all your parts over to that MB.

Or keep the system intact and just play it on that until you've built a whole new, preferably DDR5 system. Still deciding what to do myself.

According to the official requirements and online benchmarks, I can barely get minimum with my Ryzen 7 5700, 32 gb RAM and GTX 4060... can anyone tell me where I stand on the requirements?

I have a ryzen 5 5600, paired with a 4070 with 32gb ram... and an nvme drive

Will I be able to run at recommended settings and fps????

So looking forward to the game...

Everyone seems to have much better specs than me XD and i'm gonna try and play , my specs - i7 10700 , msi rtx 2070 gaming z and 16gb ddr4 corsair vengeance rgb ( 3000mhz ) , im not expecting sm2 to run very gd tbh , but i will try and play :)

How about mine?:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RTX 4070 SUPER
32GB DDR5. And i have 1440p monitor.

I've taken to the ideology of "wing it". I've bought a few games I was not sure about and shockingly they have all ran on my systems well enough to where a refund wasn't necessary. The only one I couldn't do this with was Alan Wake 2 but thankfully it ran. At this point I'm confident that I'll be stuck in minimum spec with two of my machines with my third one being completely incapable of running it at all. My main is a RTX 2060 6 gb, I5 8600 (non k), 16 gb of RAM, two SSD's (nvme and sata) all running on windows 11. My second machine is well the simplest and it's just a steam deck. I've gotten away with running games on that thing that have no business even running on it like Immortals of Aveum (before refunding it because it was boring) and Dead Space Remake and now Remnant 2 which actually runs fine on it now (thanks to a bunch of post launch updates). Yes all those games are at low running at 30 but frame gen certainly helped with Immortals. Finally my biggest bug bear is my laptop which has all around the best CPU, SSD, and needed RAM to run this game......but it has one crux and it's the GPU. It's running an i5 12500H, 12 core, 16 threads (hyperthreaded), 16 gb of RAM, 500 gb SSD (not sure of the model but based on loading times it seems pretty high quality) and an RTX 3050......4GB. Thank you Nvidia for making a 4 gb GPU and not realizing 4 gb's isn't enough anymore and I would like to punch my self in the face for not reading the store listing when I bought this thing.

get on console and save money, game has no ultrawide support or preload on pc, plus no denovo = hacker city. Consoles have all those options, Saber hates PC master race

1440p + 60 FPS + Ultra = 12700k + 4070/Ti
2160p + 60 FPS + Ultra = 13900k/14900k & 4090

Thanks for the reply...I guess I'm going to find out today...
