For those concerned about CPU requirements

[Mihai_89]

So this is for those who are concerned about the CPU requirements.

Just relax bros - despite that it says 8 cores/16 threads it also says Zen 2

Zen 2 pretty much means older RYZENs can run it too like the RYZEN 5 3600 or RYZEN 5 3500 or RYZEN 3 3100 - yes they specify the 3700X but it will run on older ones because it's the same architecture.

I just upgraded to a Ryzen 5 9600x, which is only 6 cores, 12 threads. Yeah, I'm concerned. The thought behind the purchase was budget first.

I do have a Xbox Series X, but wouldn't want to play this on there because of gamepad controls. Clown sticks are a L.

what ram and motherboard did you got? Why you didnt get ryzen 9700x which is 8 cores?

9600x beats 5800x in CPU heavy games like Baldurs Gate 3 by a huge margin. 115 FPS vs 79. Nothing to worry about. Ryzen 3600 is probably the last 6 core Ryzen that can't do 60 FPS in this game.

I think what the reqs are trying to say is that you need 8 core for Zen 2 but not Zen 3 and above.

32 GB DDR5, MSI B650 Pro Wifi.

I made the purchase based on price tags + benchmarks where the game performance difference seemed utterly negligible.

I had never heard of someone buying PC parts based on console specs really until this thread. The lame APUs in the last gen consoles had 8 cores too, yet PC quad core CPUs from that era were destroying them.

i think if i upgrade from ryzen 1700 and 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz that i have now since 2017 to a ryzen 9700 x 32 gb ddr5 6400mhz and x870 motherboard will be a good choice. i beleive ti will be as my cpu ram and motherboard are 8 years old almost but the truth is that the pc is still very fas and loads evrything in 1 second(windows, games, programs, internet, movies/series). Yes we upgrade based on benchmarks on perfomance of each cpu and graphics card and not because someone on the internet told us to upgrade or because they released a new console that is more powerful than our pc.

Guys relax - the game will run on both of your current PCs, sure you're not gonna max it out but there's no doubt it will run like you won't actually be able to not launch it.

well the problem is its designed for 240p and the gpu does everything. and i guess all benchmarks really state is that is how well it runs the benchmarking software

Is the gpu is for the ray tracing only right?

You mean if only the GPU is required for ray tracing ?

Yes, the GPU handles ray tracing in games.

That makes no sense to me because i had a ryzen 2600 and a 2060 and the CPU wasn't strong enough for my GPU so i had to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600x

As i said i use FSR in games who have ray tracing(which is now most games) to run them with max graphics and max ray tracing 1440p 60 fps while those who dont have ray tracing like sniper elite resistancce that releases in 4 days those still run maxed 1440p 60 fps without FSR. Also mine RX 6700XT RED DEVIL is a lot more powerful than 2060 especialy now with FSR3 which doubles the perfomance in most games.

I wouldn't be too worried about the CPU side of it.

I ran Doom 2016 on an ancient Core 2 Duo E7500 and an Nvidia GTS 450, with 4GB of DDR2 RAM. Performance was around 25 FPS at 960x540, but I did manage to beat the entire game. I was expecting Doom 2016 to just crash on startup, but was utterly surprised it loaded at all.

My current system is an i5 11400, with 64GB of DDR4 3200, and an RTX 3060Ti. Indiana Jones and The Great Circle ran fine at Medium to HIgh with 4K DLSS Performance.

I'm just cautious, as in no pre-orders, but I'm optimistic lower-end systems can play the game, provided the GPU has Hardware RT.

Yep, I also used an AMD ATHLON II X4 620 for DOOM 2016 back then, had no issues with whatsoever.

i had core i5 2500k with 12 GB DDR3 1600 MHZ in 3016 when DOOM reeased and gtx 970 and iplayed it
maxed 1440po 60 fps. At that time we didnt have fsr and DLSS
but we had DSR which was similar to those two. I twas one of the very few games that i could run maxed 1440p 60 fps with that pc.
Now with mine RYZEN 1700 and RX 6700XT RED DEVIL 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 i run evrything maxed 1440p 60 fps which means there is no worry. And these requirmeents are without FSR. With FSR you get double the perfomance on the same graphics card. With means that i will play it ULTRA 1440P 60 FPS with FSR 3.
