About performance and system requirements

[mpcgannon]

Just out of curiosity I went to CanIRunIt to see how I'd fair. It said that my processor doesn't meet the specs:

CPU
Minimum: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7 12700K or better
You have: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600K

I don't recall seeing anyone complain or mention the processor, it's always the gpu. How would this affect my performance? Thanks

I'm rocking your i5 12600k (not OCd) with
RTX 5070ti
32GB DDR4 3600OC RAM

MY CPU hits maybe 40% load in gameplay.
I'm running 4k, everything maxed without frame gen at 80fps solid.
Honestly, haven't yet run a game that suffers from that CPU; haven't run into a bottleneck yet but also I'm not buying the latest and greatest AAAA

If I didn't have the 5070, I have no idea what my CPU would be doing.

I have an RTX 3080 that I love. I really don't think I'll have an issue. Thanks for the feedback!
