Minimum PC Specs

[mere.remnant]

Do I even bother trying to play this on my rig? (1660 super + ryzen 5 3600 + 32 gb ram)
I was holding out hope for further optimization but it looks like I'm cooked since I really don't want to use frame generation. Now I'm debating buying it for PS5 since it looks like it runs a stable frame rate compared to my PC.

That's basically minimum requirements, if you're fine with 30 fps at lowest.

I would say no. It's going to run abysmally on your PC. It runs badly and looks blurry even on high-end rigs.

My cousin has the same rig with less RAM and the beta was unplayable according to him. You might be able to play at very low settings and a fraction of native resolution. It'll be a blurry mess. If you can tolerate that... then yes I guess you can play.

In my mind, your rig is still a solid mid tier rig, so under normal circumstances I would expect the game to run at a locked 60FPS@1080p mid setting easily. However, we've been over the optimization of this game. You'll have to upscale from 720p for sure and whether you can maintain a locked 60 is questionable I'd say.

I don't understand PC gamers -- if a game is poorly optimised, don't buy it.

If a game can't run well on your hardware -- don't buy it.

Thing is, there's millions of other games out there to choose from instead of buggy games with inflated PC requirements because of incompetent devs.

The best part? They don't all cost over $70

If it makes no difference to you, then get it for PS5. Will look and play better.

i doubt it your cpu is pretty old for how much this game asks for

IMO you should only play this game if you are on a 40 or 50 series with a decent CPU. I had a 9800x3d and a 3070. At 1440p it was unplayable, ended up upgrading my gpu to make it playable.

The "Lowest" settings you're supposed to using with minimum specs detailed on the store page uses ultra performance mode for upscaling.
Even with DLSS 4 transformer model, ultra performance mode looks really bad at 1080p so I highly advise you against purchasing the game, unless you can bear abysmal image quality.

Calling a 6C/12T hexacore CPU from 2019 "pretty old" stings..

It's really not that bad, but this game is poorly poorly optimized.

The GPU is also a problem and I never seen anyone in this forum or youtube below a rtx 3060 or rx 6600 say they were fine in the benchmark/beta.

It's not that it's pretty old, but the performance change from Ryzen 2000/3000 to Ryzen 5000 is greater than people imagine when running things like shadows, reflections, and lighting.

From 2000/3000 to Ryzen 9000? Performance change in that case is even greater and noticeable. Changes in other areas also contribute to the performance increase.

Tasks that use floating point gain performance generation-over-generation on AMD processors, and those tasks are usually shadows, lighting, reflections, and physics.

But none of that changes that the reality that the game is just unoptimised -- it just means that newer CPUs can leverage better FPUs, IO, and memory performance to partially overcome shoddy coding.

But even that has a limit as many will discover once they boot the game up soon.

With those specs get it for PS5.

It will run and look like absolute ass on minimum settings and you will have to use upscaling+frame gen.

Tbf I would not expect to be playing modern games with that CPU, but in no world should this or any other recent game require a 7800X3D etc.

Why would you not expect to play modern games with that CPU? Most games are NOT CPU heavy unless they are coded by untalented devs.
